It’s only a few sleep before Christmas Day, one of the most awaited celebrations. I so love this time of the year because of the joyful atmosphere it provides me. Christmas carols and songs can be heard everywhere, unending Christmas parties and of course, the most exciting gift sharing where everyone is excited to unwrap their gifts. We recently had our team Christmas party with my workmates. I had so much fun with all the food and the happy chatter. We started the spirit of Christmas as early as the month of November when we had our Kris Kringle activity. [caption id="attachment_5162" align="aligncenter"... Read More

According to a known myth, if a friendship would last for more than 7 years, there’s a great chance that it will last for a lifetime. Others may oppose to the said belief as some relationships aren’t that lucky to survive with what they call as forever. Are you part of those who believe there is no such thing as FOREVER? I honestly regard there’s a slight truth on this popular saying. Seven years is quite long for friendship to endure several challenges which shall test its fortitude on how strong the people will manage to make it last. I... Read More

Every rest day, I scheduled it as a day to spend with my family especially with my toddler. I am making the most of everything while I still can, before my dreams will be fully realized which may affect my time with my loved ones. I refrain from engaging myself to anything work related during my time off. Rest days for me, now, are meant to be enjoyed with them. I work when I am at work and I rest while being with my family when it’s my scheduled day off. I have so much in my to-do -list to... Read More

I had an exhilarating series of events last week when I was about to undergo something  I am both excited and scared to face. Excited to finally reach the point where I am almost reaching the success I have been waiting for, and at the same scared about the possibility of failing my own expectations for myself. When your emotions are too overwhelming, it will really manifest physically. A week prior to the said date, I could feel my hands were cold and sweating, I felt too emotional and I could burst into tears anytime especially when I am alone. I was... Read More

My first day of the working week “Monday” started with an adrenaline rush episode. I set my alarm incorrectly. Goodness gracious! The careless me thought it was scheduled to alarm by 4:30 AM but it wasn’t. My husband noticed it was set to ring at 4:30 PM. We both woke up at exactly 5:30 in the morning, the same time when we were supposed to be already heading to work. We haven’t eaten our breakfast but fortunately managed to packed for our lunch and some snacks. It took us 15 minutes to finish everything and got ourselves ready to leave home. It... Read More

Our home renovation project for my parents house ended yesterday. I can finally say, "IT’S OVER!” We’re free from all the stresses both physically and financially. It’s a tiring process but once you'll see the end results of the changes, you’ll be happy and proud seeing the fruit of your hard work. So, what’s the plan after finishing the job? Because I was exhausted, I got zero plans. Bummer! I want to cook something that I haven't tried before but I didn't get the time to do some groceries. Good thing, we had some left over ingredients available. I experimented cooking Chicken Cordon Bleu, the no-bake method... Read More

My toddler and my husband both love eating and so do I. Who doesn’t like eating anyway? Some may avoid eating because of diet restrictions, but if given the chance to freely choose the food they like, for sure they’ll end up indulging those sinfully delicious meals. After a tiring work schedules last week, I promised to cook something to treat me and the whole gang. I decided to prepare Carbonara, a popular pasta dish with white cream sauce. My previous work mate used to bring this dish at work and when I first saw it, I thought it was kind of weird for... Read More

Before hitting the hardware warehouse for our home renovation shopping adventure, we decided to grab a quick bite for our lunch. I looked for a nearby restaurant to our destination as it was almost lunch time and walking under the blazing heat of the sun wasn't enjoyable at all. Gladly, Manila Foodshoppe opened their new branch in South Town Centre, Talisay City. It's a short walk to Atlantic Hardware, our target location for our home improvements trip. One of the restaurant's crew gave us this leaflet containing the updated price list for 2017 of their menu and their respective branches in Cebu with each direct contact numbers on... Read More

As they say that change is inevitable and it's the only permanent thing that will happen in this world. Some changes may give us excitement however a few aren't that welcome to push through. But one thing for sure, changes will definitely bring us to a new situation which will help us grow and shall give us another chapter in our lives to learn more lessons. By the end of July, a major change will take place at work for our new schedules as well as for our respective assignments. This would mean we will have a new manager to report to and reshuffling...

One of the fringe benefits of being employed is experiencing lavish parties sponsored by the company where you are currently connected. I've just recently attended a social gathering funded by the firm. It was our summer party, a Coachella inspired party with a touch of bohemian design for the venue preparations. I was greatly impressed with the preparations arranged by the team assigned for the party setting. It was well thought and I love the colorful girly set-up too. The company chose Montebello Hotel as our venue and for the food caterer. It's known for its Spanish interior design. We had our Prenuptial shoot here... Read More

My rest days have never been boring, aside from the fact that I am going to spend my time off from work with my family, I can also do the things that I love to do for my husband and my toddler. These are the reasons which make me always excited to look forward for it to come. I made a sweet dessert last Saturday, an easy to prepare Mango Float to make this frowning cutie smile. Here are the ingredients in making a Mango Float. You can adjust the quantity of each ingredients depending on how many layers you would like to come... Read More

It was so ironic that last Friday was supposedly called as my rest day from work, however, it seemed like my day started full packed with schedules. I started my morning with a scheduled commitment as early as 9:00 AM travel time and arrived to my destination at around half past eleven in the morning, after 2 hours of getting stuck from a heavy traffic due to the unexpected rain. How terrible was that experience! I'm still thankful that the meeting was successful though I came late. After the first task of mine, I proceeded to my second engagement, the planned... Read More

I kept on postponing Akyn’s haircut day for the past 3 weeks and finally, yesterday I was able to push thru with the plan. A bit hesitant at first to have his hair cut for I was expecting he would make a scene by the moment a stranger would touch his hair. He even easily gets annoyed if I will play with his hair at home. How much more if strangers will do that to his hair. To stop Mon from bugging me on when should we visit a barber shop, I decided to have it yesterday, my day off. The first barber shop we... Read More
