LET'S PARTY!

Nung Biyernes umuwi ang anak ko na malungkot dahil hindi raw siya naimbitahan ng kaklase niya sa birthday party nito. Yung mga ibang classmates may invitation pero siya at iba pa niyang friends wala. Para sa isang 11 year old, big deal yun kasi hindi siya kasali sa party.

My initial reaction was to tell her " Hayaan mo na, hindi naman maganda yung party n'ya or say " Hayaan mo pag ikaw ang nagparty, hindi natin sila iimbitahin,"... pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko at niyakap na lang ang anak ko. Alam kong walang magandang maidudulot pag humirit ako na parang nagmamaldita nanay. Kahit sabihin kong magpaparty din tayo, mas maganda pa dun sa party ng kaklase mo, parang tinuturuan ko lang siyang mabuhay sa inggit at kababawan.... Ayoko namang bawat kibot ng kaibigan o kaklase niya, sasagot si Julia na " mas maganda o mas malaki pa d'yan ang gagawin ng mommy ko...." Dahil sa tuwing hihirit siya nun alam kong never siyang makukuntento sa kung anong nakikita niya, laging iisipin niya na kailangang makipag-kumpetensiya or worse, lumaki siyang inggiterang froglet tulad ng iba!!!!

So anong ginawa ko para mawala ang lungkot ng anak ko ? Sabi ko sa kanya magde-date na lang kami sa Linggo.... Gagawin namin lahat ng gusto niyang gawin. Hindi man siya makapunta sa birhtday party ng kaklase niya, all is not lost dahil may ka-date pa rin siya - Hindi man si Jollibee.. .at least ka-size pa rin ni Jollibee hehehehe!

How to Be Healthy

My right arm is all buised up from blood extraction for my blood chemistry/work up.. Aside from bruised pocket (P2500 for all the blood test)I am still grateful test results were mostly normal (uric acid can really be clingy). Now all I have to do is shed off the unwanted pounds ..... Let's do this!

My Planner and Journalling Journey

Since I've started a new hobby,journalling and doing planner stuff, i've always been intrigue on how others can really spend so much in getting planners and purchasing stuff. I admire in awe and sometimes envy other when i see their stash. But knowing the practical side of me, couldn't bring myself to spend a lot on these items until i started buying stuff online.. and mind you, it can really be addicting.

I remember the feeling of touching my first love doki A6 planner which I got for only P300. It was definitely a fab find until i fell in love with my Sunday Leather Craft field note... It was a bit pricey P1000 but it was worth it.  Now i can safely say i have found my Planner Peace.

Attending my first Planner meet up was an experience. I get to meet ladies who ate really into these stuff, taking planners and journals seriously. I really had fun using their stamps and collecting washi samples. Can't wait for  the next  meet up :)

FAB FINDS... Sweet Valley High Books

I got excited when I saw these books on sale at a local bookstore. Couldn't help myself and bought 2 since they're only P19/each. I remember during my grade school days when i started reading them. I hope someday I can share the same passion with my Princess

Sibblings

So lucky to witness these sibblings sharing a few bites of french fries at their kiosk/store at Quezon City Circle, not minding the crazy and complicated world outside. If only all sibblings could be like them, then what a wonderful world it could be :)

SULIT VACAY 2016

Every year I would save up so we can enjoy a day or two of summer vacation with the SULITS. Nothing grand, just a precious bonding time with the family.

For 2016, its the usually trek to the city of Pines to enjoy the cool weather. And although we've visited the place, it never fails to bring smiles and wonderful cuddle time with the family. As expected, Julia was excited the most, enjoying the play time with her cousins 24/7.

Although we are not complette this year (Minus Caloy and Weng family), we are looking forward to getting the most this perfect weekend :)

COFFEE FIND : Malaysian Coffee from Famous Belgian Waffle

Last Mother's Day, while queing up in a popular buffet resto i chanced upon The Famous Belgian Waffle Kiosk  at SM North Edsa and tried their Malaysian Coffee. It was indeed a wonderful coffee experience with its sweet, strong and  flavourful blend. And this cup is best paired with their yummy hot and crispy waffle. And  guess what's the best part? One gets to enjoy the coffee.and waffle all for less than a hundred bucks! Truly a superb find  if you're coffee lover :)

PHENOM OUT....

This girl never fails to  amaze me. Aside from powerful spikes and plays, Ms Alyssa Valdez is also known for her humility and generosity. She made volleyball a household name and made us fall in love with the sport all over again. But despite her popularity (endorsements left  and right to boot)  she remained humble and well grounded, always with a smile. I hope we'll have more Alyssa Valdez in our midst not only to learn a lesson or two about volleyball,  but also learn about what real champions are made of.  God Bless you, Phenom! 

My Saturday Lunchdate

Our week is never complete without a meal from our nearby Chowking Resto. It's our "go-to" place whenever I am not in the mood to cook.   CK's crispy chicken never fails to bring a smile on my princess' face while their wanton noodles or yangchow with siomai ia normally my staple tummy filler, stuff that i don't cook at home. So if you happen to see us munching in the CK store, you know it me ang my priness"  bonding moment.  #chowkingcrispychicken
