Random Thoughts

As our Father's Day celebration last June, we were invited by my inlaws to have lunch buffet with the whole family at D' Ace Plaza in Pasig.

We were so looking forward to it until Sunday came and we arrived at the restaurant by 11:30AM. We were surprised that there were so many options!

Make your own toppings...

Make your own pasta...



Japanese maki, anyone?


...or probably ebi, prawn and vegetable tempura?


I went for the maki first...


...and then shabu-shabu which was perfect for the windy weather.


And many, many, many more.

We enjoyed the lunch buffet at D' Ace Plaza. Hopefully we get to try their breakfast and dinner too one of these days.

Mother's Day this year (2013) was quite unforgettable since we had encountered problems and challenges with our second household help. But it was also memorable simply because of our lunch at Corazon. I knew that this restaurant serves Filipino food but I didn't know that the serve the best Filipino food, that is!

We had lechon, pinakbet(this one was the best), paella, pochero and more. It was indeed a perfect lunch since it was spent with the whole family. ♥

Ever feel like dancing today? Here's a beautiful song by Googoodolls, Rebel Beat...

♪ I need to be where you are, I need to be where you are... ♪

Have a great Sunday, everyone!

I had fun one night when my friends from CFC Household and I decided to have a videoke session at Centerstage.

We started as early as 8PM and we ended up around 12midnight.


Oh, yes, it was definitely a fun night! And here's the highlight of our night...


A bowl of chicharon (pork skin) that definitely made up our day. LOL!

After several months of planning this dinner and coffee date, the night finally came! This is when our good friend Terry came from the US too. We were so looking forward to see each other, finally after our get together last December, we saw each other again for dinner and coffee afterwards.

We had dinner at Secret Recipes but we barely tasted the food because we were too engrossed with our conversations.



I truly miss talking to these girls. After several hours, Secret Recipes was about to close so we decided to transfer to CBTL to have tea and coffee for more chikahan!


Aaaah, it was definitely an unforgettable night! I love this photo my friend Janice posted a couple of months ago...




And I totally agree. Love you girls!

One holiday last summer, we spent our family day swimming the whole day at Sea Residences. The kids had a grand time! Who wouldn't? Just look at this beautiful kiddie pool?

The moment the kids saw it, they wanted to jump in the pool as soon as they could.


It shows in their small faces that they indeed had a great time.


Wish we could go back again one of these days. That is, if Mr. sun will show himself too.

If you have a marketing or sales business, it is most likely that you already have a supplier to print your marketing materials. But there are times when you are too busy to call nor go to your supplier so you look for a supplier online. I found a cheap brochure printing that you can avail online. It looks like they've been in the industry for years now providing good quality flyers and brochure printing. I like the idea of not going through traffic just to be able to print your advertising materials. All you have to do is signup in their website and order according to your requirements.

How convenient is that? For busy people like me who doesn't want to prioritize the printing of materials, this is definitely the way to go. Love, love this!
