My son’s fascination with race started early. At around 4 years old, he watches Formula 1 races on TV with his dad. It was their bonding moment and he even idolizes Michael Schumacher at that time.

After seeing the movie Transformer, he immediately fell in love with Bumblebee or the Camaro. Once we saw a real yellow Camaro in a car showroom, he told me, “Mom, when I grow up, I want to own a Camaro.” I told him that he can do whatever he wants as long as he works hard for it.

Dreaming big as I may say but with his tender age, I only want to inspire him to be the best he can be. Although I know how expensive it can be to maintain such a car, I would not be the one to dampen his spirits. Just like any hobby, if you are really passionate about it, you will work hard to subsidize your leisure pursuit. While your at it, you always want to have the best. It’s nothing different from jazzing up your car with original Chevy Camaro accessories. Just thinking about it, excites me already. I am sure my boy will be doubly excited.

It always nice to support your child’s dreams and imaginations, it fosters creativity and will inspire them to strive hard.

These photos were taken last summer during our exhilarating escapade at Subic Tree Top Adventure.

Here’s my son hanging as he was rappelling down a 60-foot tree.

And this is my daughter hanging as she was about to rappel down.

We headed out to Greenbelt and chose Barcino Wine Tapas Bar. We were four girls having a relaxing drink as we chatted the night away.

It was a lovely evening for a night out. Summer is almost over and the rains poured that day making the night not as humid, perfect for al fresco dining. Barcino offers excellent quality wines at very affordable prices. The place has a laid back ambiance and the bartenders are customer oriented, which is always a plus factor for me.

Wine drinking is a learning process. Once your palette is used to good wines, you’ll never go back and will always look for a better one. Most moms would probably freak out at the thought that I brought my daughter along to have a taste of good wine. For me, I’d rather that she learns these things from me than sneaking out to have a good time with friends. At least, I can give her a taste and at the same time teaching her a taste of fine dining.

Barcino also serves scrumptious appetizers. That night we had Alcachofas con Hamon, Croquetas Pollo y Hamon and Gambas. These food are best paired with their wide selection of wines.

Every month we are faced with bills — electricity, cable, telephone, mobile phone, credit cards and what have you?  As the one in charge of paying the bills (Hubs just bring in the money ), I have made ever effort on organizing them so as not to miss out on anything. One tough job but I have managed it so far…

We ended up drooling at Frostings Cupcakes and grabbed one for each of us….

A late lunch at Fish and Co. was in order. Pardon my photo collage, I tried not to include myself (but decided otherwise) since my face is still bloated as an effect of steroids. I have been prescribed to take the meds for my heat rash which is all over my body.

Knowing that my family is happy and all in good health is enough to celebrate our blissful union everyday. I thank the Lord for the bond that he has given me and my hubby and I pray that it will become stronger as the years pass.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Happy Birthday MIL!

I hope you all had a very good weekend.

They played with glow sticks and ate all night long. It was truly an enjoyable night with close friends as we do it for a worthy cause.

Sunday was the day we celebrated my Mom’s birthday by checking in one of the nearby hotels. The kids had a blast as they go in for a dip in the pool with my sister.

We ended the night by having dinner at Arya Persian Restaurant.

To the greatest woman in my life… Happy, Happy Birthday! I LOVE YOU!
