A Fun Weekend

Our fun weekend started on Friday. We were invited by Hubby's college friend and his wife to have dinner at his place. We were excited because Alex would love to play with their daughters Ishi and Ysay. We got to their place at around 8PM and had dinner as soon as we got there. Alex and the kids on the other hand played at the other room. It was a fun night since we get to talk about everything! Here are some (blurry) photos that we got right before we went home.

The highlight of my Saturday was meeting the MBAPs for coffee at High Street. While we were chatting and having coffee in Starbucks, Hubby and Alex were at Market, Market trying to kill time. It was a bit raining so they just stayed there for 2 hours. Me, on the other hand had a great time as usual with the MBAPs. It was nice seeing you all ladies! (*wink*)

Our Sunday was just spent at home to rest and unwind. Hubby was able to install the curtains finally and it looked really nice. :) We were able to rest this weekend but ironically before going to sleep I had a TERRIBLE backache which I couldn't explain why I had it. Good thing when I woke up this morning I felt better already.

Anyway, it's going to be a relaxing week for me, and I look forward to another fun weekend!

Alex and her Good Manners

I'm honestly surprised how Alex has learned some good manners at her age (2 years and 4 months old). Sometimes we would laugh and can't help but feel proud of the things that she had learned so far...

1. She would say please when she needs something like water, book, milk, etc...
2. She would say thank you when she got what she needed
3. She would say excuse me to us or her toys when she needs to move them
4. She would say excuse me when she burps
5. She would say excuse me when she sneezes!

I'm one proud Mama! But of course there are days that she is not in the mood to follow what I say or she would insist on what she wants like jumping in the bed late at night. There are days that she just doesn't want to share her toys or stuff. There is this fake cry that she would do when she didn't get what she wants!

It gets very irritating I tell you, but I guess it's part of the terrible yet terrific two stage! In line with this, here's the photo of the little girl, which I would like to place on a custom picture framing soon.

This was taken when was Alex was still 1 year and 11 months old. She love all these three toys so much that she was trying to fit all of them (including herself) in the small chair. LOL!

Her taste for books improved as well now that she is 2. She now enjoys reading...

1. Cinderella (which she thought was Barbie)
2. Alice in Wonderland
3. Big Bird Learns to Share
4. Clifford the Big Red Dog
5. The Big Red Balloon
6. The Duck Learns to Swim

Unfortunately she doesn't like the A-B-C book anymore. Probably because she got tired of me asking her which letters are in the book. LOL! :D

I know there are more to come when it comes to the little girl's milestones and I just can't wait to see all of them soon!

The Increase of Gas

...actually made people thought of buying motorcycles. Hubby's friend who was a little bit conservative even thought of buying one for him to use on his way to work. I'm not sure though if he's contemplating on buying used Harleys which would get him a good deal. But it surprised me to know that he is thinking about it. Good thing Hubby is not convinced yet although he made some jokes on buying a bicycle for him to use on his way to work. LOL!

Fitness First

Before I got pregnant I asked Hubby to buy me an exerciser from Home TV shopping. It worked well but in the opposite point of view. I gained weight even more! You see, when I try to exercise, my food intake would increase and with that I would gain weight more. Hubby is contemplating in exercising. He is getting more and more conscious everyday. I wonder if treadmill would work for him this time?

A Dream Job

Wouldn't be amazing to work for jobs in beauty industry!? I was thinking that it doesn't only entail benefits of being able to be in a spa every now and then, but also you get to be forced to be beautiful. You see ever since I started working from home, I didn't put any effort in dressing up nor putting makeup anymore. What for!? Nobody will see me anyway! LOL! Especially now that I'm on my 19th week of pregnancy, all the more I got paler and bigger every minute! But just in case there are people out there who would want to apply for a dream job (of mine) in the beauty industry, you might want to check out the Beauty Industry Job Placement Website of BeautyJobs which was just recently launched as a brand new online job search engine - www.beautyjobs.com.

Our Weekend

We were busy last Saturday buying some food in the market and stuff in the grocery. It's the last weekend of the month so we needed to refill our kitchen for the next month. We weren't able to wake up early but we still were able to buy some good fish and shrimps.

Since my Dad had a flight to Mindanao the next day, we had dinner at Ortigas' Palengke at Paluto with my sister. We planned to go to Serendra afterwards but the rain was so hard that we decided to go home and had our dessert at home.

The next day (Sunday) after bringing my Dad to the airport, we went straight to the in-laws to watch Pacquiao's fight. It was an interesting fight since both Diaz an Pacquiao were strong. I was also amazed at the ring girls (if that's what you call them) and their sexy costumes or outfits. But I'm sure they weren't highlighted because all of the people's eyes were glued on both Diaz and Pacquiao. I'm still glad he won another title. I'm not into boxing you see, but it's just fun to watch Hubby and the rest while they watch the fight. :)

We also had lunch there after watching the fight then took a nap. Since the weather was so conducive to sleeping, I think we were able to sleep for quite awhile. I'm glad that we were able to rest. At 5pm, we then went to the church to hear mass.

After mass we went to my Mom's place since it was Nanay's 9th day. They prepared a small get-together with the cousins and I can say that the food they prepared was really yummy - Kare-kare, Kaldereta, Paella, Pansit, and Chicken with veggies. I loved the food. I can't believe that it's been 9 days already and time indeed flies so fast.
