The highlight of our weekend was our attendance to a fund raising concert. I must admit that in all of my blogs I try not discuss politics. The main reason is that I believe that people have different views and I want to respect that as much as I want people to respect my political views. However at times, one has to make a stand.

The fund raising concert was dedicated to the members of the Magdalo group who are seeking local positions in this coming local elections. Just like my BIL, the Senator, these people does not have the money and the machinery to fund their campaign hence they need an event such as this.

After fighting for what they believe in and being detained, they plan to take the fight in another arena, in the hope that they can bring the much needed change for our country. As stated in their Party Resolution…

“while observing democratic processes and observing organizational discipline, we have, more importantly, expressed profound hope for genuine national development through our support of political leaders that embody this hope for change;

The event was well attended by family and friends. It was hosted by Marc, a DJ from Love Radio and Marissa Sanchez. It was an enjoyable evening! I am hoping the best for these people.

Join us and share how your weekend went.

Even though the Holidays are over, it didn’t stop me and fellow mom bloggers to have a get together. We have tried to make this happen during the holidays but with too much gatherings going on during the Christmas season, there is always a conflict. That’s why we ended up doing it after the holidays.

It was a fun Friday night! We brought our own share of food and did the usual exchange of gifts.

Saturday was also a time of get together with my co-parents from my son’s school as we participated in their family day. It was fun to meet all the moms and dads and catch up with each other as we watch our boys take part in the program and games.

Since it’s free week on Photohunt today — I am sharing a photo of my daughter enjoying “sorbetes” or dirty ice cream. It’s a term called here in the Philippines for the unbranded ice cream sold in the streets. Of course, it is not actually dirty, however since it is sold via carts that roam the streets — like the one on the photo, people tend to be squeamish in eating these kinds of food. It is sold with wafer or sugar cones, plastic cups and bread buns.

To all my Photohunter friends, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to a weekly meme. This will be every Monday entitled Pixelbug Weekend. It’s a way of showing how your weekend went through photos. Hope to see you this Monday.

Since I grew up knowing only few relatives, hubby’s family gatherings are something I always look forward to. Hubby was invited to be the godfather of his cousin — yes, the son of his uncle and we couldn’t pass the invitation. It was a small and intimate family gathering to celebrate the christening of Carlos.

Below is a picture of me and 2 week old Carlos taken by my cousin-in-law. If you’ll notice he’s so fragile. Only 4.6 lbs when he was born — anyone would be afraid to handle a delicate newborn like him but not me, I love babies! I just wish I can still have one but after three miscarriages, it’s a No! No!

Naturally, there would be giveaways during the reception and here they are …

Welcome to the Christian World, Carlos!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

I just love this shirt of my son… tough but funny! He loves to wear this shirt especially when he’s not with his dad, LOL! I guess its one way of saying that he adores his dad.

Happy weekend, everyone! Stay safe!

Palengke o Pamilihan ang tema ngayong linggo sa Litratong Pinoy. Ang palengke ay isang lugar kung saan inilalako o itinitinda ang mga bagay, dito nagkakaroon ng transaksiyon ang mamimili at ang nagtitinda.
(Market is the theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy. Market is a place where goods are traded, this where buyers and sellers transact their business in exchange of goods.)

Sa aming pamamasyal sa Singapore ay napadpad kami sa Bugis Flea Market, isa sa pinakamalaki at pinakamurang pamilihan sa Singapore, kung baga sa Pinas ay Divisoria. Kung gusto mong humanap ng pampasalubong o mga anik-anik na mura ay siguradong dito mo matatagpuan. Mura na at pwede ka pang tumawad.

Ito ang isa sa nakatawag pansin sa akin, tindera ng buko. Kung sa Pinas ay kariton, sa kaniya naman ay parang mamang sorbetero ang design. At in fairness, malinis na ang buko, ready nang biyakin para sa mga gustong makatikim ng Thailand coconut.

At dahil sa kainitan ng araw, nauhaw ang aking esposo at naghanap ng malamig na maiinom. Buti na lang walang nagtitinda ng Coke at nauwi kami rito — pamilyar di ba? Parang yung naglalako ng “sa malamig, sa malamig…” Kaya lang fresh fruits talaga ang mga ito, mura na masustansiya pa. Magaling na pampaalis ng uhaw!

Welcome to Pixel Bug Weekend!

Today, as I celebrate my birthday, I am so excited to start a new year with a new meme. I am filled with enthusiasm that I have so many friends who willingly want to join. I can’t wait to see all of your entries, the stories behind the lovely photos, and to share this wonderful day with my friends in the blogosphere.

The highlight of my weekend was a photo shoot courtesy of my brother, who also happens to be a photo enthusiast. Call it as it may but I believe that it was more than a coincidence that the shoot was scheduled on the weekend of my birthday. What better way to start this meme than to share with my first studio shots — with my favorite subjects.

Studio and lighting set up is courtesy of my brother. Thanks for the opportunity Kuya. Likewise, I also want to thank Mr. Leo Castillo of Photoworks Studio for lending me his camera flash trigger that enabled me to capture these beautiful photos.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and may you have a very productive week ahead!
