Have you ever wondered what happened to Alex's kitchen set? The kitchen set that we gave her for Christmas last year?
I can't figure out which one is nice for Alex...
From Jhona, Dez, and Jody! Thanks ladies! ;)
We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us
when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.
We need friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.
We need friends to remember us
one we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.
Spread the poem of friendship.

We had two major meet ups last weekend. One was with Hubby's college friend and he treated us for dinner last Saturday. We had a great time. Before meeting up with the group, we brought Alex to McDonald's first and had her dinner there. Recently, she learned to discover McNuggets with barbeque sauce (thanks to her Dada!) and she loved it ever since! She can eat only the sauce and sometimes she wants it with rice too. LOL!
We on the other hand, had dinner at Pizza Hut. We had meatlover's pizza, chicken wings, and lasagna. We were full afterwards. The boys decided to have drinks afterwards so Hubby brought us home after dinner since I was too sleepy while Alex was getting cranky too!
Ok, before I make research on commercial real estate I will just post this looooong overdue tag from Joy. Sorry Joy, it took me months to do this tag, I had to look for Hubby's baby photos and then had to scan it too!

I can't believe it's Wednesday once again! Time is flying so fast! I remember last week I was doing some research on life insurance quote and it's benefits and then posted my Wednesday Happy Thoughts. And now, it's time for another one! ;)
...for a ME time that is! Since I was confused on what I should do yesterday during my ME time, I decided to do everything! LOL!
After work, I updated all my blogs of course and did a few bloghopping. After that I scrapped for two LO's that is part of Alex's mini photobook which I will be giving to my Mom for her birthday. After scrapping, I felt a bit sleepy, so I took a nap! And I slept for 2 hours! It was heaven for me. No distractions or whatsoever. Except for Hubby texting me every once in a while. :D
After taking a nap, I had some snacks and then tried to make a jello (with fruit cocktail) for Hubby and Alex. See, I can cook! LOL! So when Hubby and Alex arrived, I felt so refreshed and happy too. :)
I guess I did have a good day yesterday in spite of working on a holiday. Another working holiday (for me) is coming up next week. And I wonder (again) what I should do on that day after work? Hmmmm...
How did your holiday went? ;)
What to do!? What to do!?
This is what I've been thinking since this morning the moment Hubby and Alex left for the in-laws. You see, it's a holiday today but I have work. So I just let Hubby and Alex go out for today so they have fun at the same I get to have my "ME" time after work too!
But the funny thing is that I don't know what to do with my free time anymore. It seems like I have been spending time with Alex too much that when I get to have my own free time, I have a lot of things in mind that I want to do BUT, I couldn't choose which is which. I'm thinking of sleeping, scrapping, bloghopping, and a LOT more! (*sigh*) With this I would end up doing NOTHING! LOL!
Anyway, I had a fun Saturday with Hubby. We went to do our early Christmas shopping at 168 Mall and we went home with a lot of loots. It was our first time there so we were surprised how big the mall was. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping (yes, you read it right!). I'm doing it early because I want to focus on Baby #2 and Alex when I give birth which is the last week of November. By that time, I'm pretty sure that I won't have the strength to think about it and even buy those things.
Time is flying so fast! I noticed! I'm on my 26th week already and no time I will be giving birth already. So what I'm doing now is enjoying the time with Hubby and Alex and do whatever I can while I can still move around. I feel bigger already and I can just imagine what I will look like in 2 months!
And oh, I got Alex's first year photobook already and will post about it in my other blog soon! I got so excited because it looked pretty good. More than I have expected. So now, I will have to prepare myself to make another one for Baby #2. :)
I hope everyone is having a nice (long) weekend! (*wink*)
Thanks to Kathy for this kikay tag!
I don't wear makeup all the time and I don't consider myself kikay at all! But the moment I saw my eye bags and my face getting pale, I started considering wearing makeup. But I only got these four items in my makeup kit. Theses include the following items from Body Shop...
1. All-in-one Foundation
2. Concealer for my eyebags
3. Retractable blusher brush
4. Shimmer Waves Bronze Blush-on
5. Lipstick/Lip gloss
That's it! Although I'm hoping to add a pimple cream in my list but for now, I will have to pass on that since I'm pregnant.
Care to share yours!? :)
Apart from the Nautica watches that I saw last night at the mall, I would also want one of these for my birthday or maybe Christmas...
About commercial collection agencies that is. These agencies are lead by Pyramid Financial Solutions – The Industry Leader in Debt Collection and Receivables Management. It is the number one choice for all of your receivables management needs. As a full-service debt collection agency, they have the knowledge, experience, and equipment it takes to provide you with faster, better debt returns than the competition. It think this will be a good choice for companies who are into debt collection and receivables management. I suggest they look into this one.
On our way to my in-laws' house, Hubby and I discussed on what we are getting for car insurance next year. We ended up with nothing because we are trying to sell the car and deciding about it won't be a good idea. Anyway, we will just probably talk about it again if we will be able to sell the car hopefully within the year.
We got my in-laws' house at around 7:30PM last Friday because traffic was a bit bad at EDSA. We were just in time for dinner and some close friends of my in-laws were already there.
The food was great. They ordered for Chinese food like Cold cuts, Soup, Yangchow Fried Rice, Beef with Broccoli, Fried Chicken, and Pork Spareribs. Desserts were everywhere! We had Lansones, Mango, Sugarhouse Cake, Almond Jelly, and pastries from Conti's. It was heaven for me! LOL! But of course, I couldn't eat everything all at once because of my diet and blood sugar, so I had to eat it every hour. I had the time of my life! :D
Everyone was so full after dinner and at exactly 8PM everyone was glued to the TV watching the opening of Beijing Olympics which was so amazing! Too bad though I didn't watch the show from the start.
After a couple of minutes, the guests (who were the close friends of my in-laws) started calling it a night while we were left there waiting for the parade of athletes. After the parade of the Philippine athletes we then called it a night. Except for Hubby who watched again for the lighting of the torch which happened at around 12 Midnight. Since I couldn't sleep yet, I watched too, and was amazed by the fireworks. It was just great and overwhelming! They really did a great job on that one.
It was a long night indeed but we had so much fun and I'm sure MIL also had the time of her life. :)
I realized over the weekend that one thing to start the week right is having a relaxing weekend.
Last Friday, it was my MIL's birthday so we had dinner at their place with some close friends. Will post more on that later. We spent the night at their place so Alex, with her cousins were able to swim again Saturday morning. They had a blast as usual.
Yesterday, we planned to go to the mall to do some errands but we ended up sleeping the whole afternoon, which is a better choice. (*grin*) I had a terrible headache before lunch so that made me decide not go out anymore. Except for hearing mass at the Church near our place.
I was also able to do a little bit of budgeting and planning for the rest of the week. You see, it is really nice to do this every weekend. Just stay at home, bond with Hubby and Alex. With that, I got a lot of energy for the rest of the week and also for the upcoming weekend. (*wink*)
Recently, I've been checking our schedule for the Christmas season since Alex's Yaya wants to take a vacation in December. If that's the case then the all-around help should also given an opportunity to rest right? So now, I'm checking on the household chores that I can do when I give birth. There would be cooking, marketing or buying some groceries, laundry, taking care of Alex and baby #2, cleaning the house, and the list goes on and on. I can do some probably since Hubby will be home and can take care of the babies. But I would say that ironing will not be part of my list. LOL! You see, I just hate this chore and even using an imported irons wouldn't convince me otherwise. We will probably bring the dirty clothes to the laundry shop when the maids are on vacation. I will make sure that, that will happen. LOL!
On second note, I'm looking at Callaway irons to give out for golf lovers out there probably this Christmas. But still thinking who and of course would have to consider the budget too.
This is a special day for a lot of people. Weddings are everywhere, I'm sure! And boy, it's nice to make a memory on this special date, right!?
We are also celebrating this special day because it's my MIL's birthday! Happy Birthday, Mommy!
Hubby is going crazy on what business to venture for the next few years. It's just that (we think) everything has been done here in our country already. From internet cafe to salons, it's just all over the place. So I'm thinking of just venturing into an investment instead. There is a coin dealer that I came across recently by Monaco Rare Coin. Monaco Rare Coin is part of the Monex family of companies, a trusted leader in precious metals investments for nearly 40 years. The Monex companies have helped tens of thousands of investors invest over $25 billion in hard asset investments including rare coins, gold, silver and platinum bullion. They also offered other precious metal investments.
Everything is just in the internet nowadays. All I need to do is do more research on this one and talk to Hubby if we will go with it or not.
From Yen. Thanks girl! I had fun! ;)
