I exercised my right to suffrage on May 13, 2013. I didn't go early since I figured that the lines will be long. I decided that around lunch would be good, but NO. The line were still long. Anyway we went malling for a while because I know I'd be lazy when I go home. Didn't like the results though and even thought why I voted at all, it was useless. Anyway I am hoping that those ones whom we think won't deliver will surprise us in the Senate.
I had a good time with my cousins Bobet and Cindy. I don't really see them regularly anymore but deep in my heart I know that these 2 girls are special. Our grandmothers are sisters and that makes us 2nd cousins. I knew Bobet while I was growing up, while Cindy already in my teen years. We used to live in the province and Bobet lives in the province too. When my family moved to Manila, that's when I got to know Cindy and got close with her. We're of the same age and interests more or less that's why the 3 of us clicked right away. Hoping to spend all summers with them. Thanks for everything ladies!
Isn't that pretty? We were treated by my MIL to an overnight stay at Club Balai Isabel. It was nice, yeah it was nice. Saw Enchong Dee up close but since he was not a favourite of mine, I treated him like someone ordinary, not an actor. I wanted to have my photo taken with Kim and Xian but the camera was rolling at that time I was in the area. Didn't like to wait til the wee hours of the morning just to have my photo taken with them, no freaking way. MIL was lucky because she was at the right place at the right time. She was able to have her photo taken with Kim.
Can someone give that to me please? I've been looking for this parfum by Victoria's Secret the day I laid hands on it. I just love the smell and it perfectly fits me. I can say that he smell is heavenly and I am in love with it. Too bad it was already discontinued, for what reason I really don't know. It was not even a special edition scent, so I don't know. Hopefully someone informs VS that it is an in demand scent. Meanwhile am I willing to settle for another brand? I don't know yet since I haven't really looked around.
We plan to do this once a month, you know just spending time with each other over ice cream, smoothie, coffee or tea. We do a lot of movies but then again it isn't enough. We need plenty of time to bond with our family if we want to have a loving and solid family. A little money won't really leave a hole in the pocket or even it if did I'd still do it. Spending time with the family are wonderful memories to look back to when we are old and gray. 
We attended a birthday party yesterday and it's truly amazing how parties are nowadays. I've been out of touch from kiddie party scenes since my two kids are already teenagers. Themes are more elaborate and truly beautiful. The performers are different too so are the games. There's not much magic show, well at least at the party I've been to. But I think the trend is like that nowadays. They do puppet shows, not the usual puppets. They have a soft puppet, a human puppet and a hard puppet, something like that. The party was fun because of all those stuff and not to forget the good food too.
Went to SnR just to get my christmas edition chocolates. Early, right? Of course because I want to have our stock before it runs out. I do this every christmas time. The kids look for it. I don't want to disappoint them. Perfect excuse you say? Haha you got me there. Actually I just want to renew my card which expired in 2011. Haven't been going to that place in a year so I got really excited when I saw SnR just across St. Luke's Global. 
Wild guess, anyone? What am I going to do with that? Believe it or not, it's a Christmas ornament. I'm going to put that to my tree. That's my DIY touch for this year's look. Instead of buying at the department store, I opted to go to Divisoria to buy 4 kinds of flowers and put them together. Will show you in a later post when I am already done with my tree.I need some boxes to put away some of my stuff. There are just some that I can't let go so I am keeping them. I thought of storing them in a box but where is the strapping tape? This is what I don't like here at home sometimes. I can't seem to find the stuff that I need. People here are somewhat forgetful. They are so fond of keeping stuff yet they forget where they placed it. Arrrggghh! Do you sometimes experience this or Am I the only one?

Is this scent discontinued already? I want it so bad. I already asked my sister to buy it for me, hopefully she'll be able to find 10 bottles. Wish us luck!
The husband and I celebrated our 20th year wedding anniversary recently. He surprised me with a trip to Hong Kong. Of course I was happy, after all Hong Kong to me is my happy place. I always get excited as if it was a first time. Anyway, my SIL gave us money to dine at this michelin star french restaurant. It was awesome. It was pricey but all worth it. It's not like you get to dine there everyday so we gave it a go, it was our 20th year anniversary after all.
Wee! One of our fave fastfood restaurant is here! I'm talking about Hainanese Delights. We first tasted it in Baguio in one of our regular Christmas vacations. Then we started secretly wishing for it to have in Manila. Yes, they have it in Manila now and it's in Mega Mall. We get to eat there every Sunday right after the church service. Life is good!
We had a big celebration in honor of my father-in-law's 95th birthday. The party's theme was Vintage Glam and that was the best look we can come up with. The party was well attended just like the other parties we hold for him. We thank everyone for being a part of his 95th birthday. Looking forward to see you all again on his 100th birthday celebration.
The hubs went with me one time to Divisoria. He wanted to buy sets of cloth to be made into a suit. Part of his agenda was to buy hangers too. In other words we went our separate ways because I too had a different agenda. When we met in the agreed place, he was happily showing me a few pieces of Tarzan. To those ones who do not know what Tarzan is, it's a bubble gum quite popular when we were kids. Oh don't ask me when was that, but just to give you an idea, kids this generation do not know what it is anymore. Hehe, I gave it away but not as old as you think. Anyway, on my next trip to Divisoria I bought him 18 packs. Crazy, right? Well I just want to make him happy, as simple as that.
This is my new favorite. I know I am fat and I am not supposed to have it at all but what can I do? It really tastes oh so yummy. Thing is it's very hard to find. It's not like any other chips that you can find at every grocery. This reminds me to stock on my new snacks so I can have it anytime I want. Hello fatso!
Finally on my 3rd visit to Singapore I was able to take the cable car. Honestly I got a bit scared especially when I started seeing the the expression painted on the faces of my kids. I saw terror in her eyes specially. She was holding on for dear life, I'm glad she survived the ride and was able to take the cable car again back to Vivo City but this was another story. It was more scary on our way back, seemed like the car wasn't stable at all. I think it was due to the winds. It gets windy in the early evenings, right? Anyway, I think they still enjoyed the view or let's just put it this way, that's one list off their bucket list if there is any.
My newest game! I have not even reached the 1M score in Temple Run and here I go with another game. It's ok, I am enjoying it. It gets frustrating sometimes because it's hard to draw with your thumb on a screen as small as the iPhone or the iPod. Anyway, I asked a friend to buy me those stylus available at amazon and hopefully it gets here before I find a new game.
Familiar? It should be, it's the coolest game app nowadays and seems like everyone is playing it. It's a bit frustrating that I can't even get a score of 500k, yeah I am a loser, please don't rub it in my face. I don't know why I can't get my mojo back when it comes to vid games and all, I don't play like how I used to 10 years back. I guess you already know the answer to that, right?
Wee! It finally arrived! I asked my cousin to get me and my daughter a Kindle. We are lucky because we had a relative who was scheduled to come home from the US. With this we were able to save a lot. I am still not using it that often, but I will. I need to find time and rehabilitate myself from plaing farmville so that I can do more.I love nature, green makes me smile! I grew up in a family who loves nature, plants in particular. The garden in my parents' house is still maintained and it has been more than 30 years. The whole family loves gardening. I remember taking turns with my sibling caring for our plants. We each had our assignment to do. I think our love for plants came from our Dad. He loves gardening a lot and he is a green thumb. My other elder sister took after him. She used to maintain a garden store in the US and it was doing pretty well. Now she does backyard gardening and you will be impressed when you see her garden. She just knows how to fix it. I will need to take a lesson or two from her so that I will be successful in my gardening too. I don't know, but I don't think I am a green thumb. Plants die on me, probably the condition at home too because we don't really have a backyard to begin with. I just do potted gardening. It's a good thing everything is readily available in the world wide web and I found this gardening tips which I can make use when I again attempt to do it.

Ever since the husband shifted to e-cig, I always see him looking for rechargeable batteries. I know it's a small thing, but the frequency of his search does not go unnoticed. He even discusses it with me and asks for opinion. I don't know if in your household you use a lot of batteries. In mine I don't want to run out coz it's really frustrating especially if you need it so bad and you don't have a spare one. I've learned my lesson and actually started using rechargeable. It's always within reach if needed.

I was contemplating on having eyelash extension for a while now. I finally did it last week and I like it. It felt heavy on the first few hours, but I got used to it right away. What I'm not used to until now is the fact that I need to be careful when washing my face, otherwise it's going to fall off. Recommended touch up is every two weeks. I need to be more careful if I don't want to go on weekly touch ups which will really be pricey.
I just got my Mac Mini and this will be my next project. I need to start saving up for it. Time to think twice about all those unnecessary spendings so that I will be able to purchase this in no time. Now I'm starting to think about the time when I started having an online job, it was awesome. Offers keep coming and in figures I never imagined. Those times are long gone but I still earn online. The difference is that before I can purchase whatever I want in more or less 5 writing jobs, but now it takes a hundred years before I can do so.
I was already a bit sick when we left for Baguio about 4 days ago. We only stayed there for 2 nights and it made me more sick. I thought my cough and colds would go away coz I was already taking meds for it. But lo and behold it got worse that I don't need to buy firecrackers for the New Year. Ewwww I know but what better way to describe my cough but that :D
Anyway, we enjoyed our Baguio trip. It was stress-free. I'd love to do this yearly in fact we already agreed that we'd do it every after Christmas. We don't really get to travel that much as a family so this is pretty much a welcome treat.
I have another form of communication with my online bff. Online because we still haven't met in person. But even if that is the case, we still treat each other like we are blood sisters. I think I've known her since 2006 or 2007 via blogging. I stumbled upon her site and left a comment. From then on there's no stopping of our friendship. I am so looking forward to meeting her and her family probably next year. Just thinking about it makes me excited!
If you own a dog, you probably already realize exactly how pleasurable it can be. When a dog is incorporated into the family properly, they become much more than a simple pet and in many cases, they become a valued member of the family. Unfortunately, there are also problems that can occur from time to time when you own an animal and it can make it difficult for everyone that is involved. It is not only the family that suffers when a dog is lacking in training, it is also the dog which suffers as well. That is why it is so important for you to make sure that the dog is trained properly, and you are able to do that with the right dog training services. It does not matter if you live in Alaska or Nappa, dog training services can be found almost anywhere.
One of the things that you will quickly learn about most dog training services is the fact that they do not ascribe to a one-size-fits-all model. Your dog is going to have specific needs, just as you have specific needs and they usually acknowledge that from the start. Comprehensive, in-home training programs give you everything that is necessary to make sure that your dog is well-balanced and behaves properly. This typically results in a very positive experience for everyone that is involved, so there are usually several different choices of dog training which can work for anyone. This includes puppy training, training that is specific to any problems that you may be experiencing and occasional tune-ups, which will really help to keep you and your dog working together to your mutual benefit.
