Since my daughter turned grade six this school year, she’s been asking me about JS Prom. I told her it would take three more years before she could experience the said memorable event in her high school life.

We’ve all most went through the same stage aren’t we? I could all remember the excitement and giddy-ness as we prepare for the much awaited prom night.

Well, girls are pretty more excited than boys. Why? Apart from seeing our crushes, we can’t wait to wear and strut off our prom dress and makeups! Those are the sure thing that makes us shine on our Prom night.

Back in the day, choices on the prom dresses that girls can wear are very limited. It is kind of easy for the men’s wear because they got the standard suit for their formal wear. Its pretty much complicated on girl’s part. I remember there are only two colors of preference. One is baby pink color for the Junior Girls and baby blue color for the senior high school girls.

Looking back at our photos then, our gowns were all fluffy, heavily laced designed and not so comfy to wear. Hahaha! Oh those were the good old days. Not much choice eh! Lol!

Pretty young ladies nowadays are lucky because there are wide variety of choices when it comes to Prom and formal dresses.

Take a look at PickeDresses, an online shop based on Canada that are trusted when it comes to prom dress. They got wide range of styles from Short Prom Dresses to Long Prom to semi formal to Formal wear and fancy accessories.

Yay, so here I go again… Doing a late post (what’s new?! *rolleyes) hahaha!

The year 2014 marks a lot of important events in our family. This year is quite a hard and trying times in terms of money and finances. We really adjusted to the best of our capability. We were so glad of the financial help and support of our families (both side).

Last April 2014 was also the time when we ventured into a small home based business. DH opened up and converted our garage into a small eatery or carinderia. At that time, I was still employed and juggling my activity as Day-Time Office Worker and Dishwasher at night. Haha! Come the month of May, I am really decided to take full-time in helping DH out in our small business. So I submitted my resignation letter the fist week of July and tendered my resignation effective August 2. But then, the boss kept on asking for an extension of my stay to help out/teaching the new employee of my tasks. I could only offer until the 3rd week of August.

The month of June was a chaos, at least for me. This is the time where the kids supposedly be in school already. Through the help of prayers and people around us, they were able to even though it’s late.

Last December, Ate I and her family went home from Australia for a vacation. They came on the eve of Christmas! We had a great time for the usual Christmas Noche Buena. We even played the Christmas cracker game.

20141224_230317 — What Do Ghosts Eat? Spookghetti. 🙂

Fun game indeed!

Then came the usual gift giving. Kids as always were in their high spirits as they open up their gifts.

The little girl went crazy as she got 4 sets of Loom bands crafting materials this Christmas. LOL!

While the little boy got Lego and Mario bros. toys.

I got a very nice umbrella and a swimwear for all of us. Lots of new clothes too.

December 27, my childhood friends and I had a get together again. It was two years ago since we met. But this time around, only four of us were able to make it.

We met at Trinoma and spent the whole afternoon catching up.

Holidays are really the best time to enjoy and spend time with family and friends enjoying the festive occasion and all the things it has to offer.

We welcome the new year by the beach as we were invited by my sil, Ate I with her family to celebrate and welcome 2015 there.

We’re still in the process of learning and coping up until now so I am looking forward to a more peaceful and less stressful year this time around. Hahaha!

Out of Tune

1 / 30 / 14

During my SIL’s silver wedding anniversary celebration, there were lots of surprise performance from her kids. One of them sang the couple’s love theme song, but we all noticed that he is out of tune, or should we all say that the guitar is out of tune?!

True enough, we all saw that his acoustic guitar is broken. He can’t really remember if it fell down or something. He was so disappointed because it was his first ever guitar. DH’s aunt offered to buy him a new one as a gift! So I told him that he could look around and choose from gretsch acoustic guitars at Guitar Center as it offers quality ones at a very affordable prices.

He couldn’t contain his excitement and promised for a well defined tune and performance on the next family gathering or occasion. 🙂

A colorful and learning toy that encourage and enhances the kids curiosity and explore more to develop their skills and enriches their mind and knowledge.

Happy Valentines!

2 / 20 / 13

Valentines Card made by the little boy in school

Almost a week late greetings, I know! 😀 Ian and the two kids got sick last week,the kids were doing fine now. Thank God that I was spared of getting sick to take care of everything, quite a blessing! ( though Ian still find ways to move around to help) It was after my birthday celebration when Ian felt something tender on his feet, which we came to know later as a boil.

Being a diabetic that he is, it grew bigger and more complicated the he couldn’t walk. He felt a lot more better now, though still a bit sore.

I am quite getting worried work wise, with the recent PR dropped of this blog, tasks are getting few since then. I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying hard that it pick up still despite the drop.

To wait and pray… pray! I am claiming that things will get better soon, health wise and financial wise.
