Off to Sam and Migo's Birthday Party

The kids, that is!

We had a wonderful party 2 Sundays ago to celebrate Sam and Migo's 7th and 2nd birthday respectively. And this is what my girls wore...


Will post more photos and stories soon! Have a nice Monday!

Loving Cyma All Over Again

The last time I ate at Cyma was last March (I think) with my friend MM. I ate a couple of times that month so for a while, I didn't want to eat there again. But when Hubby and I were at the mall a copule of weeks ago, we decided to try Cyma again!

I'm glad we did!

We just had our usual order of Roka Salata (Fresh arugula, chopped Romaine lettuce, sun dried tomatoes, candied walnuts, served with shaved Parmesan in traditional Greek vinaigrette), Saganaki, and Chicken Kebab.

Hubby and I were so full and happy after. Now, I'm loving Cyma all over again. Can't wait to go back!

Cyma is located at 6/F of Shangri-la Plaza Mall.

JC and Rachel's Wedding

Hubby and I were invited to our nephew's wedding in Clark, Pampanga last Saturday. I was so excited because it would be my first time to attend a wedding there. I've been to Clark yes, but it was a couple of years back, I couldn't even remember how to go there anymore.

I thought it was going to be a very long drive, but we actually arrived Clark at exactly 4PM. We left Manila around 2PM and I thank God that our trip was a breeze!

We went straight to the Church and loved what we saw...

Hubby and I love small Churches/Chapels for weddings that's why we loved this chapel in Clark so much. It was decorated beautifully, simple but very elegant!

We had a couple of minutes to spare so we took photos before the ceremony started at exactly 4:30PM!

After the ceremony, all the guests went straight to Holiday Inn Clark.

After the wedding traditions of cutting of the cake and wine toasting, we had a very sumptuous dinner. We ordered coffee while we enjoyed desserts.

Our Yearly Tradition - Visited Two Cemeteries

Even if it was just me and my sister are here in Manila, we still decided to visit the cemetery last week.

We brought snacks and stayed for a few hours to pray and reminisce on the old days. It was nice to see my sister again. The kids were so excited to be with her.

The next day, it was time to visit Hubby's grandparents and relatives. We had a mini reunion and saw a couple of cousins, Aunts, and Uncles. We had a sumptuous lunch! I'm glad we came because the kids were happy to see their second cousins.

How about you? Were you able to visit the cemetery last week?

Thank You GIft Ideas

There are just occassions that you don't know what to give to your friends and loved ones. One of these is the moment when you want to give to the person you appreciated the most. Someone who did a great deal for you. Of course you want it to be special since you want to show them that you've really appreciated the things that they did for you. That's why it would be a great idea to give you out thank you bouquets like the thank you cookie bouquet. This is a perfect way to give as tokens for saying thank you. The special people who deserve nice stuff from you.

Our Halloween Party for 2011

The Halloween this year (2011) was extra special because we ended it with a Halloween party with our CFC Household last October 28, 2011!

We prepared food for the kids, games & prizes, and lootbags! They all had a grand time at our friend's house. After the games, they all played and just like that, they were everywhere the house! I'm glad we did this. The kids ended up so tired and happy after.

My Family's First Dinner at Marciano's

And I would say, it won't be our last.

My family had a grand time at Marciano's a few weeks ago when we had dinner. The food was good, the service was great and the place was cozy inspite of our kids getting cranky and all (possibly because they were getting hungry after stucked in a traffic for almost 2 hours!). But they enjoyed the food so much especially Hubby who wants to go back to try their steak.

For that particular night we had salad, pasta, pizza, roast chicken and dessert.

We love, love everything and promised that we will back here again one of these days.

Our Korean Dinner at Bulgogi Brothers

When my Dad arrived last month, we made sure we try Bulgogi Brothers since I've been hearing a lot of nice things about this newly opened Korean restaurant in Greenbelt. So one Monday last October, we braved the traffic in Makati and went to Greenbelt for dinner.

It was our first time so we just ordered their best sellers - the Bulogogi Brothers Special, Sogogi Japchae (made with glass noodles, beef, bell pepper and onions seasoned with soy sauce), soup, and wine.



Oh, it was definitely a great dinner for all of us! We will definitely go back and try their other dishes. Hopefully when my Dad is here again and that would be next month!


Thanks Dad for the treat! (*wink*)
