A pug's life

Ladies and gentlemen, meet our new puppy... Frankie!

He is named after Frankie Arenolli, a character from EB's Kalyeserye played by Jose Manalo. He was almost a husband twice to Yaya Dub, but of course it didn't happen. 

We had labradors before, shitzus and a beagle till today but this would be the first time that we acquired a pug. Isn't he adorable?

Salon day + Malling

Finally, a much needed pamper time after many months of laziness. I've been putting off this activity because I feel I have better things to do than sit and 'waste' precious time to beautify myself.

Lifehouse concert

Opposites attract. I like things to be planned, while my husband is very spontaneous. Case in point: this Lifehouse concert. He just woke up today and decided that he wants to watch it. Akala niya hindi pa ngayon. Buti pa ako alam ko.  *rolls eyes*

Sunday Pinasaya experience

Grateful for my sister who made this happen, my family with my Mom was able to see it live at GMA studio 7 today. 

St. Marc's Cafe

Oct. 1, 2015

After our sumptuous meal at Backyard, we went around the mall and checked some of their newly opened shops. I bought a black and white stripe long sleeves blouse. After which, my husband and I agreed to try this cafe one out. We ordered...

Backyard Kitchen + Brew

Just documenting one of our food adventures in UP Town center. One of those rare days that we would like to try a new resto. Occasionally, we would go for tried and tested favorites. We heard of this place from Sam YG's IG account. I think he's a part owner. We hesitated at first but I think it was worth a try. 

It was surprisingly yum!

that Aldub effect on me

It's been a month since I've updated this blog so I tried to make a long one(blogger app in my phone) yesterday while spinning. Then just when I thought I have saved it, it disappeared.  Anyare, blogger? I was so frustrated because the past few weeks obviously, my laziness with blogging got to me. Tapos, it went pffft just like that. Oh, well.

So many things can happen in a day, or some days pass by naman while I'm on an auto pilot mode. This month of September just went by like a breeze. October na pala! Nevertheless, I always try to chronicle it on Twitter as much as possible. I will try to backtrack one of these days and post it in details here.

Heneral Luna, my kind of movie

Sept. 10, 2015

The Historian in me strikes again. I've watched this twice. I majored in and taught History after college kaya huwag na kayo magtaka. Haha.

Good thing my husband and I share the same interest when it comes to this. In the first place, we won't end up together if we don't have the same wavelength. He will find me boring. Minsan nga mas passionate pa siya kaya sabi ko dapat hindi sya Math major(before he shifted to a Business course), aside from up to now wala siyang memory gap unlike me considering he's older by two years.

Sometimes...

you want your day be like...

McDo Monday

My week day routine starts at four in the morning to cook for my son's breakfast. Then I'll go back to bed and try to sleep again for a couple of hours. 

This morning is quite different. I woke up at 9am and to this...

Accident

After visiting my Mom and sis from a nearby village, I drove to the nearest SM Hypermart for a quick grocery trip today. 

Stay classy

Now that we think everything is Instagrammable or FB worthy...

dental and traffic issues

For the past two weeks I've been driving to and from my brother-in-law's clinic. He's been our dentist for nearly a decade now. If you're a regular reader, you'll know what my 'tooth issues' that I've been dealing with. Again, I'm grateful that we have him in our family. We could have our dental visits from someone just a walking distance from our home, but we still rely on him as our dentist. He's that good.

Colorfy App

Adult coloring books are the rage now. This is successful because maybe a lot of adults are really stressed. Lalo na dito sa Pilipinas. Paglabas mo pa lang ng gate mo ma-stress ka na. Traffic, lack of road discipline and simple garbage problem bubulaga sa iyo. I salute kung sino man ang nakaisip ng Adult coloring books. It is really a great way of de-stressing.

Have a great Sunday to all!

Figaro coffee date and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

Aug. 7, 2015

It's been a week from it's first showing date. I didn't want to miss it so I asked my husband if we could catch it.

After we bought the tickets, we chose to stay at Figaro while waiting for the actual screening. 

No Pluviose

While my boys are out working, I'm home alone with kulog, kidlat at ulan while brunching...

Financial peace

July 31, 2015

where my money would go...

My future self will thank me today. I happily got to tick off one financial goal from my 2015 to do list. Actually, it's been part of my 2012, 2013, and 2014 list. But I didn't have the courage yet to do so. 

San Fernando, Pampanga roadtrip

Today, my husband and I decided to take a different driving route. We wanted to visit again San Fernando, Pampanga just to check out the sports depot that we frequent there whenever we visit the Northern part of Manila. We are obviously tired of city driving and the crowd in the malls. We want a different kind of date. We left at about 3pm.

Thunderstorm looming in the horizon just after the tollgate in Mindanao Avenue. This didn't dampen our spirits. Tuloy pa rin ang lakwatsa.

Eat Bulaga's Aldub Kalyeserye

For almost a month now, my husband and I are currently hooked with Eat Bulaga's(local noon time show) phenomenal loveteam Alden Richards and Yaya Dub. Alden Richards is a local boy next door actor and Yaya Dub is Maine Mendoza, known as the Dubsmash Queen of the Philippines. Their team up was accidental and they haven't seen each other yet in person.
