Let The Music Begin!

2 / 27 / 13

Since the kids really wanted to go for something musical as part of their activity this coming summer, hubby’s sister were kind enough to send over some of their musical accessories abroad upon learning the kids desired activity.

Dear daughter is excited to play on the keyboard which includes an Arturia software that can really enhance the quality of sound and of course on a high- tech level as it can be done through the computer. Dear son on the other hand, can’t really wait to try out on playing the guitar- not just the toy but a real one this time.

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.

Briefcase For Men

2 / 18 / 13

If there’s one thing that I can think of as a gift for mature men-especially for those who are in the corporate world, that would be leather briefcase for men. Knowing how they carry important documents and communication gadgets (smart phone, notebook, tablet), leather accessories definitely fits their image. It never goes out of style and evolves when it comes to design as years go by. Classy, elegant and perfect for those who are always on the go.

Birthday Treat

2 / 12 / 13

Ian did cooked something special for our lunch last Sunday, Feb 10. Our Chinese New Year and my birthday celebration rolled into one feast. 🙂

Our latest family pic.

Nothing really fancy, only my family, Glenn (thanks for the Tikoy!) and Mona my sister’s friends came over to greet.

Grilled Liempo

Siomai!

Baked Chicken w/ Rosemary

Eggplant Salad

All of them made and prepared by Ian 🙂 I did the slicing on some of the ingredients. Hoho! We also had Carbonara and Leche Flan.

My kids were busy playing around with their cousin Dwyane whom they haven’t seen for quite sometime. You know how it is when kids go and play, riot!

at 35, I am so thankful and grateful for an added year in my life. I only wish for a good health and long life so that I can really take good care of my family. I have so many material things that I wish to have, but they do came least on my priorities now.

I just want to keep things simple and less complicated. Learning to accept and appreciate things coming my way and avoid whining when things turn sour.

Silence

2 / 8 / 13

Many things have been going in my mind, cluttered thoughts that is! I opted to go with the flow and let things as it is. There’s nothing much I can do, instead of whining and complaining, I PRAY. It always work and never fails me.

Keeping things real and slow is what I am about now. I don’t want to rush things out, though I don’t intend to remain in this situation for long. Keeping up with pressure doesn’t work for me just yet.

Anyways, I hope to get back in blogging groove in the coming days. The PR juice of this blog dropped to PR1. :’( As they say, we can never really tell how MR. G works around.

So I need to clean up around and delete some dead and dirty links inside the dashboard. 🙂

First Holy Communion

1 / 30 / 13

Yesterday was another milestone for dear daughter, she just received the sacrament of the First Holy Communion. We were all excited for her. I took a half day leave from work to join and witness this important event in her life together with Daddy and Nicco. It is a great moment as we also receive the Eucharist.

She can’t wait for every Sundays to come as she could finally join us (adults) in the Eucharistic celebration. This coming Sunday is pretty much exciting for both us, as it is the First Sunday of February (my birth month =)) wherein after mass, all celebrants are asked to go near the altar for a birthday blessing.

It is a wonderful experience now that she full understands God’s love to us.
