Anniversary Gift

from hubby=)

Couch Potato

I'm done watching Gossip Girl, Prison Break, Boys Over Flowers and now i'm watching East of Eden, my aunt lend it to me and now i'm always puyat watching this series even if it's one of the longest series in Korea i'm so tiyaga to watch it coz the story is really good, it's a feud between 2 family the rich and the poor, revenge and love triangle. I so love this series super nakakaiyak.

Sale Sale Sale

Zara is on sale it started yesterday, i went to Rockwell to get tickets for Transformers and when i was about to go to Zara got a call from MIL that she's gonna use the driver napalpak plans ko, i hope i still have time later or else tom nalang Rockwell day for us.

Anyway, branded stores at Rockwell are all on sale also, you might want to check it out. Happy shopping to us=)

New Car Invention

Do you know what is a seat wedge? i just found out about this new product and i think it is great invention. When i'm inside the car i always drop something beside my seat and it is so hard to get it, i'm always clumsy so i'm definitely going to get this seat wedge you just have to put it beside your seat and the middle console to prevent anything to fall down the crack.

Typhoon Feria

No Classes again today! i know that the kids are so happy with it more time for them to play, watch tv, go to mall, maybe watch transformers and especially wake up late. Yesterday, mika really don't have a class coz of San Juan day i didn't even know that its signal #2 in manila coz i didn't watch the late news and plus its sunny that day. Sayang that they suspend the class today coz its sunny again and i hope they won't shorten the sembreak, x'mas break and don't have saturday class as i heard from the news it would be so hassle and im planning something for sembreak already i don't want to ruin it.

Anyway, i just hope no more typhoon coming and the AH1N1 stops now coz more and more school suspend classes because of it. Let us Pray for it.

Online Games

The only time i have to surf the net is at night when my daughter is already sleeping and while hubby is busy watching tv i'm busy on the computer. I usually check my email then i play online games i'm so addicted with it i just hope hubby would try it so we could play together, i know in due time he would join me, it would a great bonding time for us besides getting massage. Maybe i could introduce billiards to him first since he loves the sport and i also found this site that have
multiplayer games,8c1.net.http://www.8c1.net so we could let our other friends join us, i'm sure we'll have so much fun.

Father's Day

we didn't plan anything for father's day lunch coz we have a dinner party at home, but on last minute we decided to have lunch at Greenbelt all the resto were packed that day so we just ended up at UCC. I ordered for my all time favorite Seafood Salad and all day bfast chicken longganisa oh how i love filipino bfast.

We had dinner party w/ the whole side of hubby's family, we ended the night early coz the kids need to wake up early for school the next day.

7 years

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last tuesday just a simple dinner at home with all the family. I already bought hubby's gift he personally choose it, we're not used to surprises.

Tonight we had dinner at Banana Leaf to celebrate but this time it's just the two of us =) and now it's my turn to buy a gift, he bought a little something at Greenbelt but no its not a bag im on a purse ban remember hehehe

Happy 7th year anniversary honey!

I love you so much

So happy

to get this Ferragamo card holder courtesy of my FIL, we went to Duty Free last sunday and they're giving extra discount for elite members so he ask me to choose a wallet but i don't want a Ferragamo wallet i just chose this instead coz i badly need one my wallet is so bulky w/ all the cards in it. I'm loving my loot right now tnx to my FIL.

I also got this sneakers for mika at Rustans Makati and its on sale i'm so lucky that day=)

HSBC Sale

Last week my MIL and i went to HSBC sale all rustan's and SSI items, i insisted that we check it out since we're in the area already, i was a bit dissapointed with the sale most of the items don't have size anymore and like the zara items for kids they didn't give extra discount its just same as the sale in the store, this is my first time to go to this kind of sale so i guess i was expecting so much.

The only items that i got: Fruits and Passion lotion and body wash, Burt's bees lip balm for only p100 =) cheaper ang kikay items big discount and zara pedal pusher for mika.

Weekend Shopping

Last saturday i had bonding time w/ my sis and sis in laws, we went to Glorietta and Greenbelt. I had so much fun shopping and eating w/ them. We had lunch at Mesa at Greenbelt nothing special w/ the food, we also had snack at Cibo coz i was craving for the chips dip in mayo hehehe

I also asked them to help me look for personalized towel wraps and personalized plates and placemats but we can not find any store that makes that, i was planning to give it to my nephew who is turning one on July 14 maybe i'll just give kids nap mat that i found on the internet even if it would be a little late.

Hubby fetched me from Glorietta & we went to Rockwell for the mass and dinner then mika's turn to play at Powerstation well actually i also play there coz we're addict on playing the coin game =)

Footprints

My office staff told me that my office had some footprints this morning and some black water marks on the floor, they say it's ghost daw and some staff had goosebumps pa meaning daw nandun pa ung ghost. I didn't see it personally but based on their stories i got so scared y my place pa? im scared of ghost i don't even watch scary movies. Just now they told me that sometimes when they come to office the light is on na they check it naman everytime they go home or sometimes the light in the restroom won't turn on madalas daw may nagpaparamdam hay sana it stop na coz i'm scared!

Japanese Style Pancake

When we went to Hiroshima Japan, our friend took us to a small building with lots of stalls that sells Hiroshima Style Okonomiyaki, he said that we should really try it coz it's very popular there and it's different taste when you buy it from Tokyo. At first i was doubtful if mika would eat but so surprised that she like it coz it really taste so good especially when you put the special brown sauce and mayonnaise. The Okonomiyaki consists of cabbage, bean sprouts, bacon, noodles, egg and green onions. It's truly tasty but i wasn't able to finish the whole thing coz it's just huge even if mika and i shared.

Too much Sun

I badly need help! I noticed that i'm getting more freckles on my face even if i hardly stay under the sun (haven't been to the beach for a long time) and i always put sunblock on my face, i don't know why i still get freckles or is it blemishes and i'm the only one in the family who has it argghhh. I was doing IPL Photorejuvenation treatment at FCC it's for 6 sessions but went there thrice only and they said that it would be more effective to do it monthly but i'm just so lazy to go my bad! i really have to go back for my next session. Anyway, i'm currently using Origins whitening toner and BB cream from Skin Food i hope these products work on me but if anybody can recommend good products or treatment for freckles pls. help feel free to leave a message.

My Day

I went to school for the enrollment it's alphabetically so not too many people, mika and yaya went with me coz the yaya need to have her picture taken for the fetchers ID and me as well. I got some of the books already and i bought new blouse and PE uniforms. I can't believe mika's in prep now how time flies next yr she'll be in grade 1 and she have to wake up early na, have lunch in school and she'll be there the whole day.

After school we went to Konbini store to check for Yoku Moku and YES! they have it there but only the Cigare the plain one it's much expensive here coz i bought it at Tokyo for 2200 yen for 30 pcs and here they sell it for p1200 20 pcs. it's expensive but worth it.

We went to Rockwell for lunch mika's been wanting to eat burger steak at Jollibee she just recently discovered that and she loves it. I bought some school supplies at the bookstore coz i'm excited to cover her books but i still need to make stickers to label all her things. I also went to the kids section coz i'm looking for kids nap mats and monogrammed towel wrap but i can't find the same one that i saw online maybe i'll just order together with the personalized children's plates that i've been eyeing.

It's Addicting

i'm not talking about bags but these yummy snacks from Japan, Yoku Moku it is super yummy it taste like butter cookies but way way better it's not too sweet even the one w/ chocolate and white chocolate. Our japanese friend was supposed to come here in the Phil. but cancelled the last minute so i'm still waiting when he comes back im sure he'll bring all our bilin. Oh my as i'm blogging now i'm craving for it where can i find these? i have to check Konbini store if they have.

Cigare Cigare au chocolat
double chocolat blanc

Ballet Lesson

at Steps in pasong tamo ext. this is her 1st ever ballet lesson i enrolled her for twice a week, every time she comes home she'll show me her new steps and im so happy to see her enjoying, grabe she's such a big girl na few more years and she'll be taller than me, i just realized last week when i bought her a new pair of havs that her size now is 31-32 eh mine is 35-36 naku maabutan na ako hehehe

her 1st day very much excitedshe loves uniform

w/ some of her classmates (late ang ibang nakapink)

Presenting.....

my newest baby a Chanel 2.55 metallic bronze i've been wanting to have a metallic one but other countries don't have it anymore surprisingly Tokyo still has metallic and other past season colors, i wasn't expecting to see those colors available in the stores. I really want dark silver but they only have silver and bronze and i chose bronze coz i feel that the silver have similarities w/ gray, i'm so happy w/ my new purchase but now i'm officially on a purse ban!btw this is my only purchase in Japan coz everything is so expensive, they say that perfume is much cheaper in Japan but i wasn't able to buy coz i can't find the right Scent for me.

Japan Trip Day 8 to 10

On day 8 we went to Nikko about 2 hrs drive from Tokyo we visited 2 waterfalls. We were so tired after the long day but we still manage to walk around Ginza that night. Ayaw paawat coz last 2 days nalang. The only thing that i don't like about Tokyo is that the store close so early i think around 8-9pm close na then some open around 11pm pa. So at night you can't shop na tlga purely site seeing and eating.

Day 9 we went to Asakusa Temple we prayed and also bought some souvenirs, it's much cheaper there.

Asakusa lighting a candle in the temple

Last day, we took the 9:30am flight my FIL via Jal w/ my BIL me, MIL, hubby and mika via Pal luckily we got the same time so as our japanese friend won't have to go back, we were there very early and it was so cold outside as in im freezing maybe because it's too early anyway, my FIL flight was a bit delayed and the cause? Angelica P. and Derek Ramsey coz the airport staff are still checking their luggage prior to boarding (saw the newspaper the other week that they were at Tokyo for Swatch). Anyway, our flight went smoothly and our plane 747 each has own tv so mika was so entertained she watched Madagascar, listened to hannah montana and played some games.

going back home

Ranting

Hay i've been trying to check the rates at Pal online for hk flight and i was so surprised to see that it's so low even if i click the econo fiesta the Real deal promo price pops up so anyway y not right? great deal but every time i try my connection expires so i thought my internet connection in the ofc is so slow. I found out through my yahoo group N@W that many have been trying the promo also but to no avail even my brother has been trying since yesterday pero wala tlga! it's a Real fake promo! i think Pal shouldn't have that kind of promo if their system is having some problems they should fix it first nakakainis lang grabe! I hope they fix the problem and may makabook pa coz it's up to today only.

Organic Fashion Apparel

People are now being aware of our environment and they now choose eco-friendly items, whenever I go to supermarket they have this eco bags that they sell and they even give discount if you are using their eco bags. I really think that we should all be aware of the things we use make it all eco-friendly, I was so surprised to know that now we have eco-friendly fashion they only use organic products from shirts to bags and even watches this is a great way to show our love for the environment and I think we should support eco-friendly products it would really help us in the future and also for the future if our kids to give them better environment to live in. I already been trying my very best to help like re use all my paper bags in the house, using eco-friendly bags, and I will check out the eco-friendly clothes for me and for my daughter also.
