Weekend Snapshot :Fireworks!

We were supposed to go home after a tiring whole day at the mall, until we heard the announcement of fireworks display at 7pm, so we decided to stay and wait for the fireworks. And it was a great idea! For we all enjoy the amazing display for 10 minutes or less, quite short but I guess it's alright. It really made us happy :D
more weekend snaps here.

Looking for a unique yet elegant gift this Christmas? Check out www.holstedjewelers.com for their vast collection of designer costume jewelry like the photo below, a sensationally sinful pendant and bracelet set all for a price of $157 hugely discounted price that is so nice to wear on one of those night out with friends! it will surely be the hit of the night, since everyone will be looking at these wonderful pieces, uniquely made for those who wanted to stand out among the rest of the crowd!

Attention grabber? not at all, unless you wear it properly in events and places that are not odd, no to church and solemn places please.

My Ruby Alice

Uhuh, it's finally here! :D after more than a month of pananabik, my pair is here! But sad news, it's too big for my super payat feet! So it immediately reaches my mom's feet, fits her perfectly! And she now has an Alice... as for me? I'll get another one in 7 1/2 size this time! lol

here too!

I believe you have read about my other write ups about those all inclusive vacation packages available for grabs from Karisma Hotels right? And I wouldn't be surprise if you too are already thinking of booking a quick vacation for your whole family, did I sound so convincing? I supposed so. Anyways, since I was able to talked about it in my other homes, why not continue here, so there, I heard that booking in a super ahead of time is much more practical because it can really save you money because placing a deal in a no rush time is basically given a huge discount and priveleges compare to those who plan things in rush. Another thing is that you can really plan out well your desires and request and the hotel or beach officers can hook you up with the things that you actually requested ahead of time, it will be easy for them to do that for you and it can put you at ease knowing that your wants and desire will be catered unto you like planning a second proposal, complete with a gold ring props! So there, I'm sure you are more excited now! So what are you waiting for? go ahead and book a quick beach getaway!

Nappy Free?

What age it is for kids to be fully nappy free? Been thinking of starting my Olin to become diaper free since she can actually talk now, she can express how she feels and what she wants to do. A few days ago she was able to tell me that she wants to do number two and luckily, I was fast enough to bring her to the toilet, and voila! she actually pooped! But what I worry is her number one, how did you trained your kids to be say that they need to pee or poop?
Olin is 22 months old now, is it the right time already or too early?

their birthday

My dad and sister's birthday is just a few weeks away. Which makes my mom and I so torn on what to prepare for them, a party at our house or we just scout for one of those delicious restaurants near our place or we can also opt for those fancy restaurants in the metro. We'll see, if only we have good number of dining places to go like Denver Restaurants in Colorado, we probably wouldn't have a problem on where to reserve for my dad and sister's special day. I just hope we can decide as early as possible so we can reserve for a small function room in the will be chosen restaurant, I heard reservation are really advisable because a lot of companies and small groups are already preparing for their early Holiday parties, so we have to be ahead of them!

But really, this is so addicting! I can't stop even if I really has a lot of things to attend do. But I'm getting better and I'm on the 80th level now! :D
childish. I know. I don't care. lol

Olin and her cuppy

It was until last week that we learned how my daughter loves our baked cuppies! She was able to finish a piece of our chocolate creation in a jiffy! :)
That made me really happy because not only our valued customers loved it, but it was my daughter who (is a super picky eater now) just said "yummy!" ... that made my morning :)

Good news

Looking for Great Eyeglasses For Less? lucky you! because Zenni Optical was on FOX news! and they featured about website that sells out Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni. Which is really cool, because imagine getting your set for as low as $8. Now that's pretty affordable right? Plus they offer the most stylish and high quality pairs that everyone would surely love.

loves to bathe

My daughter loves taking a bath and soaking in the water for at least fifteen minutes a day. Thank goodness for tankless water heater! making it really convenient for us specially when it comes to her bath preparation. No need to boil water for we can immediately hop in the tub and make way for her super awaited bathing experience! And yes, my husband and I love the water heater too, especially now that its really getting cold :)

Trick or Treat!

How was your Halloween? Well, for us we had a blast! we brought the kids (my daughter and my two nieces) at SM Bacoor for the yearly Trick or Treating and Halloween costume contest, it was Olin’s second year actually, last year she was a little pumpkin and this year she goes to be a very cute and charming Butterfly princess!

We (together with my mom and sis) arrived at the mall lunchtime to meet up with my cousin and the kids, after we all ate we then proceeded to register the kids for the contest, well, we just wanted to get the loots and have some moment of stardom (we are not really hoping to win or anything) aka exposure! anyways, while the others are still in line at the registration area, the host announces that mall wide stores/shops are already open for the trick or treaters, so we then went out with the kids for the trick or treating hops… for two hours! my goodness we, the adults were oh so tired! but the kids? they were still hyper as ever! they just simply love what they are doing! hopping from one store to another asking for candies and some other goodies! it was chaos! there were so many kids in full costume! but that deserves another post since I’ve took a lot of photos of kids in their awesome halloween costumes.

So there, after the trick or treating we then headed at the lower ground floor where the contest venue is located, and waited our time to come up on stage for the judges to see our little kiddos in costume! of course, stage mommy ako, I came up with Olin… kasi she doesn’t want to be put down during the time we were nearing the stage na, natakot ata sa voice nung host at nung mga ibang naka costume near the stage.. so like last year, stage mudrax ang drama ko! hahaha! so what ba diba? paki ko? eh sa gusto namin ang exposure mag ina eh! ahahahaha!

And yes, as expected we didn’t win… but it was ok, kasi those who won naman were talagang bonggang bongga ang costume and all! the winners for the fantasy theme (where Olin and my nieces fall under the said category) came to be as DYOSA, with all the feathers and wide spread wings and all the works! At talagang tipong magwawala ang parenthood ng mga chikiting na iyon pag di sila ang nanalo-effect! ganun kinarir, ‘ika nga. Yun Na! .

And yeah, she came home with candies and other stuffs too, but of course it was me and my sister who ate it all! bwahahaha! dinner at KFC afterwards and some Christmas decor shopping and candles for the following day All Saint’s day activity at the cemetery before we head home. Uber tiring the day was, but lots of photos and memories for Olin to look back when she grows up! makikita nya how super kikay her mom was and how supportive her Tatay, grandma and Ninang Tita was
