Just arrived in LA, and here we are straight from the airport. Some sort of a reunion on the part of my hubby’s family.

Sorry for the short post. Kinda jet lagged….

Cousins and friends

Hubby’s aunt and cousins..

It’s one laid back weekend for our family so we decided to hear mass early this Sunday and visit my mother-in-law. But before proceeding to my MIL, Hubs decided to take a quick look at one of the projects he is handling, Eton Centris Walk.

Eton Centris Walk is envisioned to be the new dining, lifestyle and entertainment capital here in the Metro. Strategically located at the corner of EDSA and Quezon Avenue, this oasis will make use of “green architecture” with lush landscape and covered walks. It will feature these huge, umbrella like structures dubbed as Eton Constellation. This reminds me of Clark Quay in Singapore.

Some of the tenants will have its soft opening on Wednesday, July 7. The grand opening is scheduled on July 15th. I wish I could take a photo of this during night time, I’m sure the lights will be fabulous. Here’s the photo of the constellation up close…

That’s the highlight of our weekend. What about you? I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Feel free to share it with us by leaving your link below…

June is the birthday month of two wonderful people — my one and only brother and my lovely daughter.

Kuya had his birthday bash last Friday with his friends and co-workers. My sister, hubs and I decided to join him for this special day. Although most of his visitors are people whom I hardly know but I don’t need to be acquainted with them to see how well-loved my brother is. I am very happy and proud to have a very hardworking brother. Someone whose perseverance is commendable that he can triumph everything he sets his heart into. I’m so proud of you, Kuya!

Saturday was my daughter’s birthday. We had a simple dinner with my family. Since I belong to a very small family and never got the chance to know most of my relatives, we always make it a point that we bond as much as possible.

This is my daughter with my siblings and my mom….

At the dinner table …

Happy Birthday to my brother and to my charming daughter! I wish you all the best!

It’s MIL’s birthday and it was a mini reunion for my hubby’s family. Coming from a very small family, I truly appreciate gatherings like these where you get to touch base with your relatives. Honestly, I was not able to take a lot of photos because I was busy attending to visitors and because of the paralyzing heat.

Of course, the kids will always enjoy console games while the adults are chit-chatting

Here’s my youngest cousin-in-law, ain’t he cute?

Happy Birthday MIL!

I hope you all had a very good weekend.

After hearing Easter Sunday Mass, we headed to my MIL’s house to celebrate two occasions, Easter Sunday and the birthday of our nephew/godson.

My BIL and his wife prepared the Easter Eggs for the kids to hunt. It was so nice to see them all over the place looking for those hidden eggs. It’s a tradition that I didn’t get to enjoy when I was a kid. The look on their faces upon finding their loot is truly priceless.

It was a relaxing Sunday with my in-laws something my hubs look forward to during a long break from work. Of course, a birthday will not be complete without a birthday cake…

Happy Birthday to our dear nephew and Happy Easter to all of you!

We spent Earth Hour at our friends house. It was a welcome change from the usual stay at home since the kids get to enjoy the company of other kids and enjoy global action to change. It was like camping under the moonlight. Here are the kids enjoying the food as they await the lights off.

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!

It’s the kids last week in school and that means exam week. Exam weekend is supposed to be dedicated to reviewing. Since I still personally tutor my son, I decided to make the review a week earlier in order to avoid cramming. That way he can still have some relaxation the day before the exam.

This Sunday we had lunch at my cousin-in-law’s house to celebrate the birthday of my hubby’s aunt. It was a simple family get-together.

As in any family gathering, it’s always nice to touch base with relatives and friends…

The kids get to play and bond with each other…

And of course feast on the scrumptious meal on the table as we all watch the Pacquiao-Clottey Fight. Congratulations, Pacman!

First off, let me greet each and everyone of you a Happy New Year! For me, New Year signals new beginnings… a time to look forward to a more positive future. No matter how gloomy the predictions may be, no one knows what the future holds, it is up to us to make the most of what we have.

Welcoming the new year is always extra special when you’re with your loved ones. My family, together with my mom and my siblings, have veered away from the usual fireworks at home. For the past couple of years, we decided to celebrate intimately by staying in a hotel and join the in-house countdown.

It’s a lot safer that way and we can still view the spectacular fireworks from the neighboring villages minus the smoke, ain’t that cool?

I hope that you and your family had a blast during your New Year’s celebration.
