Now that we are so busy with Christmas shopping and get togethers, we don't have time focus on the cleaning of our home. Everyone is just so busy wrapping Christmas gifts, school activities and exam week, I think we need to hire professional cleaners like Jan-Pro San Francisco to focus on general cleaning. You see, I want to continue the tradition of doing a general cleaning at home every YEAR, at least once. But since everyone is busy, I guess hiring the professionals will definitely help us.
JAN-PRO Cleaning Systems has been in the industry for years now providing commercial cleaning services in CA, from carpet shampooing and floor restoration to office cleaning and medical facility sanitization. They have experts that can make your home and office spotless in just a few hours! They used materials that are world class and the staff are well-trained to complete a broad range of janitorial tasks ranging from simple to complex.
I guess I found the professional cleaners that I need for my home. With all those credentials, I'm positive that they won't let me down. Now, I just wish they also have a branch here in Manila. Maybe in the next few years?
...for the little girls, that is! Because Lolo sent cash for the Ate as her reward for getting awards for the first trimester.
And look, both love this bead machine that they got from Toy Kingdom.
The girls can't wait to make their own bracelets soon!
Thank you Lolo!
We ended the month of October by having a Halloween Party with our CFC Household since it's already our tradition to do this every year!
Each family brought food so all in all, we had spaghetti, chicken, hotdogs, krispy kreme donuts and lootbags for the kids.
The Moms prepared games for the kids and prizes too!
It was a fun night, as always!
Looking forward to more halloween parties with the household in the coming years!
A few more days before Christmas and I'm listing down things to finish before the holidays. Well, first we've setup our tree early this year!
I wish we could make it a perfect tree with all those huge decorations, but we need to prioritize the flooring and the interior instead. We would like to invest on Christmas decors but we don't find it practical for now. So we are getting Paracca Interiors Valencia PA instead. At least with these interiors, we can use it for the whole year. This is the nice thing about investing in all year decors, we get to use for the entire year. So we need to make sure we'll get the design that would suit all occassions.
After browsing interior options and designs online, I realized that floors and carpets would fall in this category. So this is timely because I've been looking for a perfect flooring for our family hall anyway. Great! I've came up with things to look into a few weeks ago. I just got busy with holiday preparations that I think I need to re-visit my flooring and carpet options once again.
Flooring America has been my choice of flooring provider a couple of weeks ago, so I guess will re-visit their site again. With over 17,000 options of floorings and carpets, it will take me months to be able to choose which one would work on our rooms. But I guess Flooring America Pittsburgh Road, Valencia will be able to help me choose. That's the thing that I like about them, they help and assist clients on what would perfectly work in their homes. Customer service at its finest, right? And will those carpets on sale, I think I found the carpet provider for us!

Another party in October - Ashley's Candyland Party as she turns one.
This was a week after Byko's 1st birthday party so yes, we were REALLY busy in October but I can say that we all had so much fun.
Check out the beautiful stage setup...
Ashley had food carts - fries and corndogs which were so yummy. There was a mini salon for the little girls and photobooth too!
Thank you so much, Mai, Paul, Asher & Ashley for inviting us!
The kids weren't the only ones in costume this year. We also had our own costume party and look what we wore that night...
And look what the in-laws wore during the party...
Oh yes, they came with a fancy ball gown and FIL came as Phantom of the Opera. (*grin*)
What made this night more special because Hubby and his band performed for us! And guess what, Hubby sang his favorite song too!
Both Hubby and I won't probably forget this night. Good job, Sweetie! ♥
Since I'm still having LSS ("last song syndrome") from the Camp Rock Musical, the Ate and I watched last Sunday, I would like to share one of my favorite songs today...
It's a Brand New Day by Demi Lovato
♪♪ It's a brand new day, (Don't you see me?). Changin' up my ways (So completely) ♪♪
Happy Sunday, everyone!
...was at the little girl's school...
It was her first so we were all excited for her. She was too!
