It’s Mother’s Day weekend and I would like to greet all the moms out there a “Happy Mother’s Day!” I hope you all enjoyed your mother’s day celebration.

Since we were not able to watch Iron Man 2 last weekend, we promised the kids that we will watch it this Saturday and we did. No matter how busy Saturday was for both hubs and me, we managed to squeeze in the movie. We could not afford to disappoint the kids twice

Nothing grand for Mother’s Day, we had a simple dinner at Mom’s house.

As a gift, we bought her a cake instead of roses. This is one of my favorite cakes from Red Ribbon,White Forest cake.

I hope everyone had a blast this weekend. If you want to join Pixelbug Weekend, just leave your link in the Linky Tools.

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.

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!

77/365 My son just loves French Fries — although I know its loaded with fat.  I must admit I also cannot resist this food.

78/365 A peg … I just love clothes that naturally from the sun…

79/365 Gumamela (Hbiscus) – a very common flower here in the Philippines…

80/365 Anyone care for a drink?

81/365 Who can resist ice cream on a very hot day?

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!

What about you? How did your weekend go? Join us and share your weekend…

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!

Weekend was nothing different from the usual busy schedule that I have. But perhaps, the highlight would be this stationary bike. It’s nothing out of the ordinary but for me it is a milestone in my hubby’s life.

We chanced upon this after doing our weekly grocery. No, I did not push him to buy it. In fact, it was he who spotted this equipment and to my surprise, he was really eager to buy it. To give you a brief history, I have been inviting hubs to join me every time I go to the gym but he refuses. Quite frankly, I have been very concern with his health ever since he stepped the big four-O. He, in fact, admitted that when he reached this age, he started feeling a lot of things, prompting him to have regular check – ups.

Recently, he’s been very conscious about what he eats, which brings a smile to my face. Ever since we got married this has been my struggle to make him eat more healthy foods but I guess it was just a matter of time before he realizes and now, he’s the one telling me to buy more of the foods and drinks that he don’t normally want to eat. At least, he’s now health conscious!

Now, the challenge is if he will regularly use this or will it remain to be one of the decorations in the house?

32/365 – Eyeglasses – I hate to admit it but all the blogging and too much computer really puts a strain on my eyes. That’s why I need to wear this pair of eyeglasses.

33/265 – Candles to celebrate “Candle Mass Day” better known as “Candelaria”.

34/365 – It’s not only my eyes that is taking its toll on too much computer use but my wrist as well. I found this cute wrist support and immediately bought it.

35/365 – Valentine’s cake by Red Ribbon. Heart’s day is just around the corner

36/365 – I chanced upon this Mini Cooper along Bonifacio High Street. I just adore this type of car.
