Last Saturday, me and my son attended a birthday party. The celebrant is the son of my high school batch mate. It was a themed party — “Disney Royalty” is the theme of choice. It was so cute to see all the children wearing the most adorable costumes. Of course, my son being a tweener refused to wear a costume.

This is probably the first theme party that I attended where even the parents wore costumes, like a King and Queen. Isn’t that cool?

Of course, a true Filipino party is not complete without Lechon.

Too bad I have to leave early because my son does not want to join the games anymore and he gets bored easily. It was truly a feast it for a prince. Happy Birthday, dear John Glenn!

It was a fun-filled weekend for us and I hope you also had a blast during the weekend.

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 our wedding anniversary and being mindful of the times, we decided to commemorate our union as simple as possible. After our usual Sunday morning mass, we decided to head out to Shangri-la and check out Rustan’s Fire Sale. There’s nothing much on sale so we decided to buy some stuff for the kids.

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!

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.

Cousins-in-law with my daughter….

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!

It was the celebration of my li’l man’s birthday this weekend. Nothing grand, we just watched a movie of his choice and ate out after. One thing we have made our kids understand is that they cannot have a party every time they celebrate their birthdays. I believe it’s better like that so they do not get frustrated.

We watched Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief together with their friend – who is like part of the family.

The kids enjoyed their usual movie house snack — popcorn, and my boy’s fave — nachos!

After the movies, we decided to have a late dinner.

Happy Birthday to my dearest boy! May the Lord continue to guard and protect all the days of your lives! I love you, my dear son!

How did your weekend go?

This weekend is a very special weekend as we celebrate two events in one day. Chinese New Year and Valentine’s both falling on the same date. Although, we are not Chinese, I am one in greeting our Chinese brothers, “Kung Hei Fat Choi!”

As for me and hubby, Valentine’s Day was never a big deal for us. Being married to a person who is not “as showy” when it comes to demonstrating his love and affection does not really bother me at all. I have come to accept my husband for whatever he is. The most important thing is that I know deep in my heart that he truly loves me.

However, as we heard mass this Sunday, our parish had a very cute way of celebrating Valentine’s Day. They called all the married coupled and conducted a “renewal of vows” ceremony. It was like getting married once again.  How mushy can that be

“I renew my vow to you, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part, according to God’s holy law.”

To my hubby (who I know seldom reads my blog posts), I would like to say “Thank You!” – for the love and respect you have showed me throughout our married life. For supporting in all my endeavors. For being my strength when I am down. For all that you are and all that you wish to be, I LOVE YOU!

I hope you all had a meaningful Valentine’s day! and Happy Chinese New Year!

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.
