I love my cousins!

Posted on Feb 1, 2012 08:13:25 AM

I only have a few cousins on my mom’s side of the family and most of them are teenagers and kids so they look up to me as I am the second to the oldest :p They’re so magulo yet I love them to bits Want to meet all of them? Oh, weather you like it or not, I dedicate this post to them LOL

• Michael Alain – he is the eldest, born in 1976 by my Aunt Deedith. He’s in Middle east right now.
• Ma. Melannie – she’s in Singapore. Michael Alain’s younger sister.
• Frances Sarena – WAGAS! She’s a hopeless romantic and very, very honest.
• Audrey Jane – Shy and very intelligent.
• Israel Jericho – He’ll become a doctor for sure or engineer as he loves corpses, yucky rotten.com things and fixing everything. Would you believe he was able to revive some 30-year old Remote Control Boats from his dad’s collection? Amazing little man.
• Gian Karlo – The would be pilot in the family. Pinakamakulittt!

Aside from them, there’s my sister Saydie and brother Nep. Crazy, crazy family we have. But despite the differences and eruption of tempers, they still matter a lot to me.

 

 

Are You a Boots Person?

Posted on Jan 18, 2012 11:54:10 AM

I am.

It’s just so happen that I am on the heavier side and living on a tropical country so wearing boots is not a good idea. How I wish I am one of those who lives in colder places so I can wear a pair with jeans or leggings, mini skirts and fur coats. Though I am not a fan of Alpinestars Tech 10 Boots, I would love to wear the knee-high leather ones

Baby Baptism Gifts

Posted on Dec 30, 2011 09:00:45 PM

We’re planning to have Lana baptized this January 15th but with what’s happening right now, I don’t know if this will push through. Our family’s facing a lot of problems right now and rushing a special event like this is not a good idea, right?

My original plan was to have Lana registered in Rustan’s baby registry so her Ninangs won’t have a hard time in choosing the perfect baby baptism gift. Do you think this is a good idea?

Proper Get-up for Kids

Posted on Dec 30, 2011 07:18:05 PM

As a mom who wants nothing but good things for her kids, seeing them in uber cute clothes means a lot to me. I love it when people appreciate their get-up. I know this is downright shallow and silly but I consider good clothes a good investment though I have not tried letting my kids wear riding boots in this very humid weather. What’s the point? We’re in a tropical country so I should dress my kids appropriately, right?

Just my two cents.

Point of Nowhere

Posted on Dec 7, 2011 08:57:13 AM

I don’t know why I am writing this post. I don’t even know why I am forcing myself to turn on this laptop. Maybe because I need some extra money? You all know too well that I get some bread online. I sell, I write, do Technical Recruiter Jobs, do SEO, etc to make both ends meet. I have worked with oDesk for about two years and then I stopped because I focused on my baking. But here I am, trying to revive my dying oDesk account because I badly need cash. Our goals next year is quite achievable IF and IF I won’t get our daily operational expenses from the bake house’s earnings.

Shopping and Rewards Card

Posted on Nov 25, 2011 08:28:25 AM

Nowadays, more and more people are lured into buying things that they don’t need because of the points that they will be getting with their reward cards. They will be getting items from accumulated points, usually items that they don’t actually need and in reality, the amount of the said item is most of the time lower if we convert the points into the amount of money spent? Crazy, huh?

I myself use SM Advantage card but I learned my lesson well I only use these cards during sale for additional discount to buy things that I actually need

LF: Fellow Watch Collectors

Posted on Nov 6, 2011 11:18:02 AM

I am planning, okay this time I AM SERIOUS, in collecting watches. The real ones, of course. I’ll start with the inexpensive ones first and move on to high-ticket watches like bulova watch, Philip Stein, etcetera.

Who among you here are watch collectors? I want to know how you guys started your collection, when and how do you connect to fellow watch collectors. Are you members of any forum like Purse forum for bag collectors?

Thanks in advance!

To check-in or not to check-in: Safety Rules in using Foursquare or Facebook Places

Posted on Oct 17, 2011 10:02:40 AM

How often do you check-in? Months ago I got introduced to Foursquare and Facebook Places. Two features on my daughter’s ipod that I love to use. Never heard of them yet? See explanation below:

Facebook’s new Places feature lets you share your whereabouts with all your friends. It works on a smartphone with GPS or in your personal computer.

Foursquare on the other hand is a location-based social networking website for mobile devices, such as smartphones.

People use both to let people know their current location by “checking in”. While it is helpful to some, it has somehow caused unfortunate events to people who are not very cautious on what these apps can do to their safety.

Check out Facebook’s and Foursquare safety rules first before trying out their features because just like any other new app, there would always be advantages and disadvantages.

One note from me: Never, ever check in whenever you’re in a bank, about to withdraw or deposit money. A lot of crooks out there are looking for innocent victims and who knows one of them maybe on your friends list.

As a home-baker and home-maker there are times that I am tasked to deliver the goodies that we baked on PH Bakehouse. Delivery girl is one of the hats that I put on once in a while. Here is a photo taken by Yona after our delivery to Alabang Town Center, an upscale mall located in the heart of Alabang, Muntinlupa:

Isn’t it highly time for me to buy cheap ray ban sunglasses to conceal those eyebags? LOL

Time is Gold

Posted on Oct 12, 2011 11:14:56 AM

I don’t have enough moolah to collect anything but given the resources, I’d be collecting high-end watches especially stainless steel watches. I am using a 6 year old Fossil stainless steel watch now and have no plans in buying a new one right now.

I am a person who’s very particular about time. I respect other people’s time so I am hoping that they would respect mine as well. When I was still working, I made it a point not be late. Same case when I was still in school. My travel time from school to office was only 1 hour (Lawton to Sucat) and everyone knows how awful the traffic jam is in that stretch during regular days more so during rush hours. Despite that, I never got late in school or in the office. That’s how much I respected my school and office schedules back then.

How about you, do you value time?
