Pandora newbie

Finally caved in last night. I'm not much of a fan because I feel it's too pricey for a sterling silver piece of jewelry. It's hard to clean one too once it turns out grayish because of usage. I know since I had some in the nineties when it was so popular. I bought  silver candleholders too, I remember. Ayun kuskos to the max. Ang sakit sa kamay.

real world

Found this on twitter. So true! 

Ang init kaya tsaka kapag naghihilik na nakakairita. Ang sarap na ng tulog mo bigla ka magigising. You don't like that to happen di ba? Haha!

after twenty five years

Last Thursday, I got the chance to reunite with my College buddies. I was invited by our balikbayan classmate thru FB. She's currently based in New York and wants us to meet at Crisostomo Filipino resto in Blue Bay Macapagal in Pasay city by 7pm. It's a lil bit far from our place, but I didn't hesitate to go because I thought it would be nice to see them once again. My husband drove for me. I invited him to join us since he know them, too. Buthe insisted that he'll go biking around MOA na lang daw muna. We planned to get there early(5pm) to avoid the rush hour traffic. Good thing, it was a breeze. Walang stress. 

We decided to hit the Mall first to kill time. We chose to eat merienda first. Coffee and Antonio's bibingka. I think the rice cake is too pricey for its taste. The best pa rin ang Via Mare for me.

loaded week

I started this week with fixing my hair color last Tuesday. As what I've said before, I'm too lazy to go to the salon. The last time was December 30, when I had my haircut. My hair color is overdue na, October last year pa yata? Medyo may social life ako this week so I really needed to push myself to have it fixed. That was my motivation.

stay happy

Magkakasakit ka lang kapag negative lang ang nasa isip mo. Eliminate or lessen those stressors in your life. Mas masarap maging masaya. Stay positive. 

Valentine's day 2016

We had an early dinner on Valentine's day at our latest fave place to dine in. Not in the mall, dahil tiyak ang daming tao. Papunta pa lang at papasok ma-stress ka na. We don't want to ruin our day just because of this. Magluluto na lang ako sa bahay kapag ganun. We decided to go to Petron-NLEX near Marilao exit(Bulacan) where a row of restos are available and is just ten to fifteen minutes away from our subdivision here in QC. Though we have to pay toll fees(p90 total), mas ok na yun stress-free ka naman. 

Ash Wednesday

It's been awhile since I've attended mass for Ash Wednesday. When I was still teaching, I never miss it since I was working in a Catholic school. It's a given that a mass will be celebrated and the priests/nuns go around our classrooms too, to put ash on our(students/employees) foreheads all day.

Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting, is the first day of Lent in Western Christianity. It occurs 46 days (40 fasting days, if the 6 Sundays, which are not days of fast, are excluded) before Easter and can fall as early as 4 February or as late as 10 March. (wikipedia)

Choose day

Yes, the title is a play of words for Tuesday. 

I choose to be happy so I started my day by reading up my newly bought mag by Aldub. I've have stopped long ago from buying magazines, but when it comes to them, they have my support. They make me giddy, anyway.

since I can't find it in the mall, husband bought this for me at Broadway studios on a bike trip :D

funny tweets

What I liked about twitter most is that there is no day that I get to chance upon some tweets or images that will put a smile on my face(or sometimes a big laugh). 

Today, I get to see some...

Tempura Grill

One of those days that we crave for food that isn't homecooked. Husband worked in the morning, while my son has his overtime work today.

After his afternoon nap, we agreed to eat out and went straight to Trinoma. 

napansin ko lang terno yung shoes and watch ko so I took a photo,. pagbigyan niyo na :D

It was our second time here. Good thing even if it's a Saturday, there weren't many diners around. It's a plus point for me. Sometimes you just want to enjoy and eat in peace, having a good conversation and all. 

On the table...

unusual combo at Mangan

It's the usual errand day. Husband and I agreed to meet up at the mall to fulfill our obligations.

After my grocery shopping, we agreed to eat here but we shied away from ordering the same meals again.

On the table... 

eeekk!

I came across this online...

Ikaw ba gugustuhin mo bumili nito?

I'm loving Spotify. Today's downloaded tune...lakas maka-high school!

neighborhood Nu huat Thai

My husband asked me if we could try out the newest massage/spa center near our village. If you like walking you can walk papunta. Ganun kalapit. We've been living in this village/area for almost three decades na but it's only now that we get to 'enjoy' the booming commercialism left and right. 

Alden Richard's inspiring story

It's no secret that I'm a fan of the Aldub team up as I've mentioned here. I was already a fan of Alden's acting way before this phenomenon. So, it's best to admit that I'm more biased towards him than Maine(although I like her a lot, too). 

*credits to the owner

Maybe because I feel motherly towards him since he is just a year older than my only son. I feel that he could be the best version of my son. Napapailing at nangingiti na nga lang yung anak ko kapag nakikita niya kung gaano ko kamahal si Alden. Upon seeing his new shampoo commercial(Gard), I told my husband and son, "Ok, may bago na kayong shampoo!". Wala silang magagawa, I'm in charge of the groceries. Haha.

hello, 2016!

Happy New year, everyone!

How was your holidays? I'm so, so delayed with my posts, very unlikely of me compared to last year's, the time I started this blog. A lot has happened during the last quarter of the year, I will(hopefully) backtrack the events with the help of my photos in my camera phone.

Posted this yesterday on my IG account, the first work day of the year...

Wearing a Baker's hat

Dec. 21, 2015

For the past three years, I've been busy baking pre-Christmas. This year, I baked 15 dozens of cupcakes and 18 packs of cookies(six pcs. in ea) for my sis in law's and siblings' giveaways, respectively. I wasn't prepared actually. I just got a random call from my sis in law asking me if I could bake for her. This was the second time. The first one was when she requested for her only daughter's birthday giveaways last year. I was happy but surprised. I wasn't looking forward to baking this year. You see, I've been a "sloth" because of my Aldub fixation. Akala ko this season would just pass by just like that. In short, I had to move my ass. Haha. This is a blessing and I wouldn't shrug off the chance.

My Bebe Love

This is the only year in my life that I've been so excited to watch a particular MMFF movie come Christmas time. Ano pa nga ba kundi ang Aldub's 'My Bebe Love'? This is the first time that Aldub nation will see them in the big screen, thus, the eagerness. 

Good thing my boys are both fans, so there's no hesitation on their part. I went to Trinoma ahead of them because I expected that there will be a long line for the tickets. Husband will be coming from work while my son will just catch up as he is still at home. We will meet up instead. I was right. Pila pa more! 

Merry Christmas 2015

Just what I've said, the ever flexi in me had to cook even if I'm dead tired from all that baking. I came up wih a solution- cook something easy to prep. Ang smart lang di ba?

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?
