Sleeping Together

I am so thankful when my kids sleep together. They are in bed by 7pm. How I wish it is like this forever. So I can also work, read emails, scrap and most importantly sleep early too! You know after they sleep it is my ME time. My time to sit in front of my laptop. So when they sleep late I also stay late and sleep late. But never got to wake up late as my youngest will wake up early. Oh motherhood!

Dance Recital Gift ideas

A friend of mine is looking for some dance recital gift ideas as her daughter is going to her first dance recital next month. She asked me where to look and of course I pointed her to Pinterest. There are a lot of DIY there which she can do and save a lot of money instead of buying expensive stuff. I hope she doesn’t get addicted to pinning. hehe!

Irosin

We got to visit Irosin, Sorsogon once again. The last time I have been here is I was still in elementary. Too long ago! I passed by this place when we went to Bulusan last December to attend the wedding of my friend. It’s nice to be back! I love this place!

Ray Ban Sunglasses

This is my sister wearing her favorite ray ban sunglasses.

I love to have one too but it's too pricey for me. I am still saving up for a new sunglasses. A ray ban 4147 is my target. I really like this one. Simple and stylish at the same time. I hope to get more work so I can get this before summer ends. Will check some ray ban shades for hubby too. He needs it the most as he travels often. Will check the website now.

Refreshing

Cate loves to take a bath outside. She enjoys the sun and the fresh air. She really loves summer because she can go swimming. I am planning of enrolling her next year to a swimming lesson. I know she will enjoy it. It is my frustration to learn how to swim. I hope I still can learn it. It is my favorite sports.

Clamps

We went to my in laws house the other day. I noticed there are de-sta-co clamp and other kinds of clamps in their garage. I asked hubby what are those for? But he didn’t answered my question as he was busy texting a client. And until now I don’t know what are those clamps are for. Oh well, will just ask him again later after he finished washing the car.

Live Simply

A very nice quote I found on the web.

Good morning everyone!

The Arturia Wish

My niece will soon graduate from elementary and she was asking us for an Arturia as a gift. Which I have to Google as I don't know what it is. haha! Well, I love what I researched about that brand and I hope to find it here or maybe I can just order it online since her graduation is still far. She will be a good musician I know. She loves it and I am so proud of her.

Sleepy Head

My darling daughter is still asleep at this time (time check: 10am). She slept really late last night at 12mn I think. I was nursing my son when she fell asleep so I was not aware of the time. It is her sleeping time usually. I am having a hard time changing it so i just let her. This is also good to me as I can have ME time while waiting for her to wake up. My son is napping as well so double yey! These are the simple things that makes me happy. haha!

A Double Bass

Whenever I see a double bass I remember lent. It is the time where the local musicians play that instrument. During some prayer meetings and prayers for the departed soul. I love the beating sound of it. The musician who plays that is a veteran. He is using the instrument for a long time already. I wish I asked to try it as I never got to attend prayer meeting in the past years.

Valentine’s Date

We celebrated Valentine’s Day at Misibis Bay in Cagraray Island, Bacacay, Albay. The place is awesome! I love it there! the food is delicious and there are a lot to choose from. We went there with my family and we had a great time! I wish it was only me and hubby but with the kids age we cannot leave them yet with the yaya. I will just worry about them if we went just the two of us. I felt loved anyways and that is what Valentines is all about right?

Beautiful Milestones

I was looking at the web workflow software when I saw my darling daughter close her eyes, lying on her bed and with her blanket on. I though she was really sleeping! This happened after her bath time so I expect her to take a nap. But nah she is just playing pretend. I love looking at her that time. The expression on her face is so sweet and so magical. I am so lucky to be able to see these little milestones in her life. If only my eyes are video recorders there are a lot of beautiful things to watch in the future. We don't have a video cam just a DSLR. But I can't capture every moves of my kids with our camera. I hope to get one soon.

Good Night!

I spent my day in front of my laptop working, so here I am saying good night to you all. I will hit the sack now.

Have a nice day tomorrow!

Mwuah!

This and That!

Slowly Cate is pointing at her wants at the mall. We went there yesterday and she wanted to buy xylophone which she already have at home. I didn't entertain her as we don't have extra money to buy a new one. We just proceeded with what we are doing but after a while she pointed at another toy. Ugh kids!

I wanted her to appreciate music as both her parents loves it. Mama loves to sing while Papa is in a band before. The reason why I buy musical instrument toys than ordinary toys. I know there’s an inner musician in her. She can hum a tune while watching barney. yes I caught her doing that. So I hope she’ll develop that talent.

This little One

Will soon become a toddler. Look how big he is now!

He will celebrate his 1st birthday in two weeks time and by that time he is no longer a baby. Awww… I am having separation anxiety to his babyhood! He grew up so fast! Soon he will no longer be needing my help. He cannot walk yet but he is going there. He is one little explorer too! Oh baby Hans please don’t grow up too fast!

Sing Sing!

I got to sing my heart out last Christmas at my parents house. It felt good after not holding a mic for a long time. Nope I am not a pro. But I can sing. My dad is my number 1 fan. haha!

I missed singing at the karaoke. It is one of my passion since I was a child. But I got sad to know that one of mom's karaoke got broken. I used the old one last Christmas and it was good. The latest has more songs to choose from though. But I still had a great time singing at the old one. I hope mom will replace it soon. I will take a look at www.acekaraoke.com later if there’s a good deal.

Cars Themed Party

We will be having a cars themed party for Hans’ 1st birthday in 2 weeks! Weee!!!

I am now busy preparing for his birthday. Ordering this and that. Booking this and that too! I hope this party will be a good one and I hope my son will be happy on his grand day. I want it to be simple this time. Limited budget that’s why. But I know that this party will be special. Hans will have a great time for sure! And I can’t wait for this to be over. Planning a party is so stressful!

Organize and Plan

When we went to Manila last October I passed by a store ( I forgot the name) and it was crowded. I don't know why but there are a lot of people waiting outside. The manager is entertaining those people and commanding his staff to organize those people. I think I heard him say "get those stanchions here!". I think before you hold a promo or anything that will drive people to go to your store, plan first and see how people will react to the promo. It is better to have a clean and organized one than to have a bad reputation of having a bad service right?

Sickies in the House

My kids got sick this week. Cate is better and Hans is on the way to recovery but both still have cough. I am so worried the other day as they got high fever. I wanted to take them to the hospital but thank God they got better the following day. It’s not easy to have sick kids. It will test your patience and mama capability. I am glad I survived. I am thankful that my husband is there for us. I don’t know what to do if he wasn’t there. Thank Hon!

Potential Singer

Right now I am hearing someone outside singing a beautiful song at the karaoke. It might be at the neighborhood. I love her voice! She has a potential in becoming a singer someday. If only a talent scout can hear her right now. Or should I say If only I am a talent scout. I will surely get her. hahahaha! She can be a star if that happens. She can work with a band with nice and great instruments. Maybe a Bbe at musicians friend will be suggested as a gift to her if she will be interested in playing in a band. A plus if she knows how to play an instrument right? Ok now I am day dreaming! I should take a nap now. hahaha!

12 hours

Cate is one amazing child. She woke up at 9:30 am yesterday and slept at 9 in the evening. She didn’t take a nap in the afternoon! My goodness! I am losing my temper when she said no when I told her to go to bed and take her nap. I just let her be and she played and played all day. I tried tiring her up by letting her run around the house. But that didn’t work.

Right now she is having her afternoon nap. Thank goodness! We will have a nice mood when she wakes up later.

Restaurant Website Builder

A friend is looking for someone who can make their restaurant’s website. I saw her post the other day on facebook and I instantly thought of the site where they make the website. I was thinking where I saw that site before. And thank God I remembered now. I am going to recommend to her this restaurant website builder that I know of. Off to send her an email. Tahtah!

Mom, Can you relate to this photo? LOL!

Facebook changed my mother. Before, she will go home during lunch time, take a nap and go back to the office. And in the afternoon, she will clean the house, cook dinner, watch TV and bond/talk to us about how our day went. But today she won’t go home during lunch time, just stay in the office and in the afternoon after work, she will change clothes and sit in front of her computer until dinner is served. I miss the old mom. I just hope she will realize that not everything is in facebook. Yes we are there also but the memories she will build with us cannot be found in facebook. =(
