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.

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. =(

Cate’s New Headbands
This is my daughter’s new headbands from dainty ashley. Thank you to Cate’s ninang Zanne and tita Mai (the owner of dainty ashley) for these beautiful hair accessories. This was their gift for my daughter’s birthday last October. Me and Cate loves them so much! I will order soon for Christmas presents. The perfect gift for your little fashionista! Go get them now!
UN celebration
One thing I noticed is that the amplifier that the school was using is broken. I think they need to take a look at the Epifani Amplifiers at musicians friend, they might want to get one to replace the one they are using right now. The price is reasonable and I am sure they have the money to buy it. I hope they will replace it soon for the benefit of the students and parents too.
We’re Back!
We are back from our vacation in Manila. And I am so happy to be back to our normal routine. We had a good sleep last night ( I forgot to turn of the laptop because I am so tired). I woke up early as my son woke me up at 5am. And can’t go back to sleep so I just checked FB for comments on the photos I posted and checked emails too. I am tired but had a great time on our vacation.
Done!
Finally the Tutu Arrived!
Yey! Finally the birthday outfit of the birthday girl arrived a few hours after I posted my waiting for the tutu post last Friday. I am so happy! And wow I love the quality of my purchase. Definitely a good buy for me! I will bookmark the seller and recommend it to other friends who needs outfit for their little girls. Such a great seller she is.
My Daughter’s Birthday Outfit
I am waiting for the tutu skirt of my daughter to arrive today. She will wear it on her 2nd birthday next week. She has this birthday girl top similar to the one she wore on her 1st birthday photo shoot but it’s white. I can’t wait for her to wear it.
We will have a photo shoot today just here at home and me as the photographer. I hope she will cooperate and have a few decent shot. We did a photo shoot yesterday and there are only a few good shots plus the background is so so. I don’t have nice background here so I will just shoot without one. Let’s see if this is going to succeed. And please no tantrums now.
Ok will go check dock ramps online first as hubby said my Father in law is looking for one. Bye for now!
Marie Biscuit
Cate and Hans love Marie Time Biscuit. It is soft and easy to swallow. Cate can eat 4 pack in just one sitting. Of course I can only give Hans 2 biscuit. He is such a biscuit monster too! I have to limit him into 2 a day. haha! I bought the bigger Marie biscuit but it is not for babies. It’s not the soft and doesn’t melts in your mouth. Thank God I found this at the grocery near us. I can easily go buy if we ran out.
New scissors
I just bought a new scissor yesterday. Why? Nothing. I just need to buy something. haha! The one at home is nowhere to find so I need a new one. I hope Cate didn’t played with it. I saw there are hair cutting shears there and I looked at the price and it was too expensive for me. it is a good gift for Christmas for a friend who is a hairdresser. I will just order it online. Less hassle and easy to pay too. With just a click I can have that in a day or two. I need save up for that though.
Meltdown
This is the stage in which Cate easily melts down. She do this everyday! When she doesn’t get what she wants she throw tantrums at us. I don’t know what to do to her when she do this. I want to comfort her sometimes but I don’t want spoil her either. She needs to learn that not everything is available for her. Terrible twos here we go!
Feel the Music
What’s for Snack?
I am so hungry already. It’s 4:30pm now and I asked our helper what’s for snack. And she told me we are having Hamburger but with Cheese ketchup and hotdog in it. Simple snack but still yummy! Yay! I will stop what I am doing first and head to the kitchen to eat snack. I’ll be back later.
What’s your snack by the way?

Cates Playmates
I love having Cate’s playmates here in our house. She have a social life! not like Mama who doesn’t have one. haha! I love seeing my daughter play with her playmates. I wish they can stay but they have school on weekdays. They are just here on weekends. And sometimes they stay at my parents house so we just go there so Cate can play with them too. I am sad that Cate doesn’t have a playmate on regular days but me. It’s still different if she plays with a same age bracket kids than playing with an adult like me. I wish we have a play school nearby.
Ber Months
BER months are here and Christmas is just around the corner. I would like to get some leather wallets to give to my cousins this Christmas. I need to do a list on who will receive something from me. Yes as early as now I will do my Christmas list as I get to be busy with taking care of my kids, being a house wife to my husband and other occasions to attend. And oh I am so excited for our family get together this December.
Sleep Deprived
Hello 3 hours of sleep! Ugh! I hate this!
My daughter slept late last night plus I worked for 2 hours after that. Slept at 3am and my son woke up at 6am. Argh! I must sleep later when my kids take their nap. I badly need energy.
For now I will just use up my remaining energy to play with my kiddos.
Bye for now!

Milk
Good morning! I just want to share that I am a milk person. I don’t drink coffee at all. I don’t like the taste of it. I tried before when I was in college but I gave up as i really don’t like the taste.
Right now I am enjoying my hot milk while working. Yes I am different and I love being one. =) Are you a coffee or milk lover? Or both?
Pain
Jump Then Fall
by Taylor Swift
I like the way you sound in the morning
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound
I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk, you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is
We should be together
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me
I love each freckle on your face, oh
I've never been so wrapped up, honey
I like the way you're everything I ever wanted
I had time to think it oh, over
And all I can say is come closer
Take a deep breath then jump then fall into me
Cause Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
And people say things that bring you to your knees
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid, please
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
Jump then fall baby
Jump then fall into me, into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I shine
And every time you're here
Baby I'll show you, I'll show you
You can Jump then fall, jump then fall
Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah
Happy and Healthy
I am one happy mom here. My kids are doing good I can tell because of the happy faces I’ve been seeing lately. Thank God no sickies right now and I hope we’ll remain like this. happy and healthy.
On the other hand my dear friend is doing a paternity testing tomorrow. He and her ex-girlfriend decided to know the truth. Oh well best of luck to him!
Concentrate Little Angel
Our little baby is an angel from heaven sent by God to us,
He bent down to earth and saw that our family needed some love.
So God simply looked around and picked up his favorite angel.
He made the halo disappear and so to the wings as well.
Then he sent this angel on earth, in the form of a baby,
The most mischievous angel ever, whom we love like crazy!

Baptized
My baby boy was baptized last July 7. Here are some photos of my son’s special event.
Child of Blessing, Child of PromiseAuthor: Ronald Cole Turner
Child of Blessing, Child of promise,
baptized with the spirit's sign.
With this water God has sealed you
unto love and grace divine.
Child of love, our loves expression,
Love's creation, loved indeed!
Fresh from God refresh our spirit,
into joy and laughter lead.
Child of joy, our dearest treasure,

Child of God your loving parent,

Grow to laugh and sing and worship,
trust and love God more than all.
We are so happy with this special day that we welcomed our baby boy to God’s kingdom. Friends and relatives arrived and we are so thankful for them.
Thank you for coming!
No Idea
Someone is asking me on the Rebif side effects but I have no idea what to tell her. I never heard the word before. So here I am researching on the topic. She might ask me again about that tomorrow and at least now I am prepared.
I am sleepy already and I need to rest my eyes or else I will have headache tomorrow. But the problem is that Cate is still awake! Waaahhh! I hope sleep will find her soon.
A Month…
Of being offline here on my blog. Sorry about that. Busy momma here. I sometimes want to blog but I cant because blogging mojo attacks when my hands are so full. Ugh! I wish it will find me on my free time and that’s when my kids are sleeping. Right now my hands are still full, breastfeeding my son in front of my laptop, but I pushed myself to blog. I wanted to update all of you at least once a month. But it will be nicer if I can blog more often right? I will try. Promise!
Bean Bag Hunt
One Busy Mom
This is my role now that I have two kids already. The coming of Hans into our lives changed the way I live my life. Before I can stay in front of my laptop for hours as I can leave Cate with the husband. But now I can’t. =( I am a full time mom already. I breastfeed Hans which feeds every hour I think. Yes I have one always hungry kid. hahaha! And I can’t leave two kids under my husbands care. He needs my help. I know that this is not temporary. I can do this. I am always positive about motherhood and AJA! I am one supermom!
4 Months now
I am cleaning my closet tomorrow and getting rid of my maternity dresses which needs to be taken away since Hans is now 4 months old. I should have done it a few months back but I am just plain lazy. Haha!
Time really flies so fast. It was just like yesterday when he was in my tummy and now he’s laughing and smiling at me already! Awww… I will surely miss my kids being a baby. And oh I don’t have plans on adding another one very soon. LOL!
Electric Fireplaces
I never heard that there's electric fireplaces until now. I was just browsing the web when I saw one and now I am informed! I think it is so cool! I want one for our house even if it’s summer all year round here in the Philippines. haha!
But those electric fireplaces at ElectricFireplacePros.com are to die for. Nothing to clean and easy to operate. Now that is a great fireplace isn’t it? Go and get one for yourself too! Will talk to hubby if we can get one.
Fingers crossed!
New TV Show to watch
My favorite TV Show ended so I need to find a new one to watch. Thanks to my friend she tweeted that Once Upon A Time series is a good one. I haven’t watch this one yet but I finished downloading the whole season 1. Yey! I cannot wait to watch!
Storyline
Emma Swan gets the surprise of her life when Henry, the son she gave up 10 years ago, arrives on her doorstep. Returning the boy to his adoptive mother becomes complicated when Henry reveals a stunning theory to Emma. Everyone in Storybrooke, Maine is a fairytale character under a curse, and Emma - as the long lost daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming - is the one who can save them all. The story unfolds; interweaving scenes of the drama in the sleepy New England town and the inhabitants' past lives in the world of fairy tales. The timeless battle of good vs evil is ready to begin again. Written by L. Hamre
I Need Rest
I badly need to go out. Taking care of my two kids and cleaning the house is stressing me out. I need to go to the mall and unwind for a while. I need a me time. I need to relax and think of nothing. Or maybe scrapping will remove my stress. I just need to be alone and have a peaceful time. When will that be? I will wait.
Ok a friend emailed me right now and she told me she needs to discuss the general liability insurance to me. But I am busy today. I need to take care of my kids, go home and clean the house. Will just reply to her that maybe next time if the best time to discuss those things. I hope she will understand.
Last 2 Episodes of Desperate Housewives
2 more episodes and Desperate Housewives is over. =( I am so sad for this season/series finale. I’ve been an avid fan for this show. I watched from the first episode until now. I wait for every episode and soon there will be no more to watch out. Susan, Bree, Gabrielle and Lynette is a part of my daily life. It’s like I live in Westeria Lane too. hahahaha! Wishful thinking! I love this series and will forever be a Desperate Housewives fan.

Summer is almost over
I am quite sad that summer is almost over and school will start soon. This means our helpers kids will go home and it will be just the 4 of us at home soon. No more noise and kids running around our house. Sigh! I wish they just live near our place so Cate can play with them anytime or after school. Everything will be back to normal again soon. I need to prepare myself for this back to reality thing.

Buffet
This is dad’s favorite restaurant. He is a fan of buffet right now. When he discovered this restaurant he is now a regular customer. He even asks his officemates to eat there during lunch break. And on his 60th birthday we ate there together with his officemates and friends. What I like about this restaurant is that they serve delicious food. And all I can say is that we will eat there in every occasion that the family celebrates. A resto with good food and reasonable price.
American Idol
I am a fan of American Idol. I watched some of the previous seasons and I enjoyed looking forward to seeing the performances and the elimination part. I specially love when a Pinoy is included to the Top 14. Now that Jessica Sanchez is included to the Top 6 I am even more determined to watch this show! The performances are so great, the fabulous outfits, transformations and the band are so good! Worth watching really! And I think I saw the Arturia Keyboard Controller that the band uses and they are so cool! I am sure it is one of the bands wishes to have. Will ask my brother in law who is into music as well what’s his thoughts on AI.
Go Jessica Sanchez!
Not In A good Mood
Dad’s New Iphone
For our backyard
I saw this photo while I was blog hopping. Hubby is planning to make a bench like this one out of scratch. He told me to save the photo on our laptop so he can take a look at it by the time he is ready to make a similar one. I love to have a bench like this one on our backyard. Isn’t it beautiful? I cannot wait for this one to be placed there. A very nice place to have coffee and just appreciate nature.
Longing for a Vacation
I was looking at my friends Boracay photos on facebook and admiring the beautiful sceneries and the amenities of the hotel they stayed in. I specially loved the outdoor chaise lounge and the different luxurious furniture at the hotel. It was a very nice hotel I can see. And the description on my friends photos tells how they enjoyed their vacation. I wish I can also go on a vacation right now. Not in Boracay as we can afford to go there now but somewhere a little far from where we are right now. I hope it will happen soon.
Where Are You?
I miss this phone. Hubby gave this to me a few years ago before I had my iphone. I can’t find it anywhere. I knew I put it near my scrapbooking area but I can’t find it now. =( This phone is still working and I am planning to put a sun simcard in it. But oh well, they said if you don’t look for it it will just show up. And I miss that wallpaper.
Unisex Scrubs
I only saw him wearing the white uniform in his pictures. I think it’s fun to wear this at work huh? Such a colorful and fun designs. You will never get bored at work if you are wearing this for sure! I will have to ask my brother if he’s wearing a scrub like this. If not I will have to recommend this site (www.marcusuniforms.com) for him! He is missing a lot on good and colorful scrubs! Off to leave him a message on yahoo messenger. *Poof!
Onion Rings
This is one of my sisters specialty. She cooked this at her party yesterday and everyone loved it. I can tell as the plate is empty after a while.
I don’t like eating onions but this one is yummy! Sis you did a good job cooking this one! I am a proud sister. Now teach me how to cook that so I can also serve it if there are guests at home as well. Thanks in advance!
Summer is Here!
Bro’s Pre-Birthday Lunch
This was our lunch yesterday. My sister in law went to the market to buy meat and other ingredients for the pre-birthday celebration of her husband. Mom cooked the Adobo Rice, Togue and the grilled tuna. The Ginataang Manok and the Igado was cooked by our helper. It was a happy and yummy lunch. My brother invited his biking colleagues and I think they had a great lunch just like us.
Advance happy birthday my dear brother!
A Great Wedding Gift
This is a great gift idea right?
I am not a coffee drinker but I am thinking of getting this one too so hubby won’t have a hard time making his own coffee in the morning. He always wakes up first before me and I don’t want him to go on a hassle in making his coffee. A good coffee maker is what we need. I just need to find money to buy it. Wish me luck!
The Zoo
I love going to the Zoo. And what makes me happy now is that Cate loves animals specially ducks. She imitates the duck by putting her hands on her armpit and moves like a duck. She is so funny whenever she does that. So I asked the husband to make time for family every Sunday and visit the Zoo if we can. This is a cheap way of spending time with family. And now that Hans is already here it will be more fun to visit the Zoo. Cate now has a playmate. Yey!
Baby Hans
Yey! I gave birth already to a bouncing baby boy!
Here’s his pic:
Isn’t he adorable?
I am once again in love with a baby. It is so nice to smell him. I really love being a mom. My two kids completes me now. Of course my husband too!
Now I am off to find a site that has small business equipment leasing as a friend of mine is looking for one. And I am sleepy now. So good night to you all! Have a nice week ahead!

Weigh Tronix
I have been searching for a nice gift for a friend's birthday next week. I don't know what will make her happy. It's so hard to buy a gift for her as she has everything. From clothes to shoes, bags and scrapping supplies. All I know is that she is conscious with her weight right now. So maybe a weigh tronix will make her happy on her birthday. Ok this will be my gift for her. I hope she will like it.
Study Table For Two
photo grabbed from pinterest.
I really like that photo above. I saved it on my computer for future reference. I would love my two kids to have this when they starts to go to school. Such a space saver and very nice design too. It will be a very good study area near our living room. Will tell the husband about my plan about this so he can have it copied by our carpenter. I am one excited mom here!
Cowboy Themed Party
Our family (dad's side) celebrates Christmas with a happy themed reunion annually. We had a Holywood Red Carpet theme last December and it was so nice! Next year it will be a white Christmas and we all should wear white. And I am so excited for that celebration! We haven't had a cowboy themed party so I am bookmarking this boots at BootCity.com. I will surely need this when the time comes. Isn’t the boots nice? I like it so much!
Dried Mango Strips
My snack for this afternoon.
photo from the internet. not mine.
I have been munching this sweet treat from Cebu. Mom, Dad and my niece Nadine went there last week and have this as their pasalubong to us. I love dried mangoes! I hope to go back to Cebu soon. I have been there when I was in college and that was long long time ago! Now that I have a family it will surely more fun to travel. Will plan this trip soon.
The Beautiful Black Dress
I saw some nice plus size dresses over at Sydney’s Closet today and I wish I have seen this when I was hunting for a dress for our family reunion last December. Plus size dresses will fit me now that I am pregnant. I had to wear a simple maxi dress as I didn’t find a nice dress fitted for me. But my relatives said I look good during the event. Oh well, maybe next time I will just look online or here at Sydney’s Closet if I need a formal dress for a special occasion.
New Theme
I am thinking of changing my theme for this blog. But I don’t know where to find a nice theme. Can you suggest one? This blog badly needs a new look. I think this theme is ugly. Oh pregnancy hormones! Will try to look for a nice one later when my baby is asleep. If you know of a site where to get a free blogspot theme please link me up ok? Thanks!
New Netbook
A friend just got her new netbook last Christmas. I was so happy for her as she will be able to work on her thesis now that she has a new laptop. There are a lot of good netbook computers out there. I have a good and still working one so I didn’t wish for a new laptop last Christmas. Now I will be able to catch my friend more often on YM. Yey! I am so happy!
Ok I am off to sleep now. It’s 1 am already. Good Night!
