Hosted by Krystyn at Really, Are You Serious? @ Manila Zoo (August 29, 2010)Read full blog entry about our family trip: Reminiscing the Past: Family Trip at the ZooI love this photo with the giraffe statue behind us.... There's no more giraffe at Manila Zoo...I missed it because when I was a child, I had a family picture with it here....
The last time I went to Manila Zoo was way back when I was 7 or 8 years old, during our grade school field trip. That's why during the long weekend last week, I suggested my husband to visit Manila Zoo, and bring along our daughter. I was quite surprised to know that my husband had never been in Manila Zoo! Because of our need to get out and de-stress (and our baby was a
Marriage involves give and take relationship and two-way communication. This is because marriage means synergy of two individuals--- well, one cannot marry oneself, can he? My husband and I helps each other in different ways. The assistance he had given to me that cannot be ignored was when I was pregnant and even after I gave birth to our baby girl. Since I gave bir
I missed Mellow Yellow Monday last week because I was busy at work. Anyway, bawi nalang ako ngayong Monday by placing my daughter's Christening cake and first birthday cake. :) My husband and I personally preferred the Angel theme of Max Restaurant for the Christening Celebration of our daughter, Rian. The theme included the cute cake, as shown above. We celebrated this
" Anong Ms. Universe question kay Ms. Philippines and ano sagot nya? Can't access net @ office e.." (August 24 at 11:32am via Mobile Web) Pipo: Ano daw biggest mistake nya na nagawa at pano nya tinama yun. (August 24 at 11:41am ) Pipo: Ang sagot nya, wala pa daw syang "major, major" na ginawa dahil supportive ang family nya at suportive sa kanya. (August 24 at 11:42am ) Ro
When my daughter Rian turned 1 last month, she got a lot of toy gifts, and one of them was a toy laptop, given by my husband's officemates. I wanted to thank them because I had always wanted Rian to own a toy laptop because she was always messing up with her daddy's laptop, especially when her daddy (or I) starts to type on it. Having one of her own would somehow keep her away fr
I was late in submitting this CC entry, because I wasn't in the mood to write about "saying sorry" these past few days because my husband and I just got into an argument...and I didn't feel saying sorry at him (and I guess, never did he). Despite of it, I still promised Liz to write an entry because I wanted to share with you my observation on how my husband and I say sorry
Tomorrow is another fun-filled Friday Faves time! That's why I'm starting it on a Thursday night, to prepare for tomorrow. Our hot topic for this Friday is all about YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC / SONG. You can type the song's lyrics on your blog and better yet, you can upload its MTV! Everyone will get the chance to know the songs and even watch the video (that would be sooo
Just last night and this morning, everybody was into the hostage drama which took place at Quirino Grandstand yesterday (August 23). My Facebook was swarmed with news feeds about the hostage drama, exteding condenlences to the hostage victims and sharing disappointments and worries about the image of the Philippines, as well as our hukbong kapulisan. Since I lea
My 1 year old daughter, Rian, is currently having a 2-week vacation at my parent's house in Laguna. We had to leave her there for a while because I was so busy with my work assignments. Last weekend, we visited her and found out that she's already standing alone in a longer period of time, with matching clapping of hands. It was a happy milestone. A
Hello blogger friends! Welcome to the Friday Faves! I am posting this earlier because I still have work on Fridays so this Thursday night will be the great time to start this so that you could all work on it tomorrow. For this Friday, the topic for this meme is all about your FAVORITE VIDEO / COMPUTER / ONLINE GAME/s. It could be as simple as Solitaire or Hearts, or as compli
CC topic: "When we want sumthing sumthing"Between the two of us, I am the one who want more "sumthing-sumthing" than him. Maybe because I am the vocal one when it comes to my needs and wants. When I want something, I just say, "hun, gusto ko nun oh, ang ganda e. Bili mo ko nun ha?" Then he would just say "meow!" (the "meow" expression for us means, "nyek!"). Of course
1. I like my History subject, especially World History. My hubby doesn't like History...for him, past is past.2. I like walking (as long as I'm not hurrying up for something). He prefers driving than walking. (I don't see myself driving!)3. I prefer WORDS (that's why I love writing and blogging). He prefers NUMBERS (well, he's an engineer).4. He doesn't wa
I missed this meme last Friday, but anyway, I would still post something about it. The topic's all about books. Personally, I adored books since I was in grade school (and even younger!). That's why I would also like my 1 year old toddler to be also fond of books. Here's her first ever book: I bought this when she was 5 months old. It was not actually a story b
December of 2007. Jeff and I, along with some of his officemates, decided to take a Holiday out of town trip at Subic. Subic Bay in Olongapo City is one of the famous tourist spots in the Philippines bceause it is developed to be an Eco-tourism place wherein you can experience different kinds of activities such as jungle activities, water sports, night life, and visiting historical
I'm launching my new blog site here at Blogger, entitled: Food for the Tots. Though I know how to cook, I'm not really into that hobby. But since my toddler, who is now one year old, already starts to eat adult food, and I observe that she's beginning to get weary of eating plain lugaw with mashed veggies (well, who wouldn't get tired of it if you eat the same menu in every meal, e

I'm currently working on a take home assignment about the Problem Solving and Decision Making Workshop held last few months in our company. I am now making a summary of notes which was discussed by the speaker during the workshop. I recalled the blog article I made here about Problem Solving. Suddenly I realized I could make it as my first meme topic in Mommy Management. P
theme: favorite photo of your kid This was taken when my daughter Rian was 11 months old. I love this photo because when I told her to smile to the cellphone camera, I was surprised to see that she actually smiled! (she didn't grab my cellphone or just stare at it like she did before) Now that she understands that she should smile infront of the camera, I can't wait for her
Now that my daughter Rian can sleep peacefully straight at night, I can sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours, unlike before which I had to wake up in the middle of the night because Rian was crying and I had to either feed her or cradle her back to sleep (and I ended up having eye bugs and gloomy face in the morning). Moreover, Rian can now put herself to s
While I was writing this, I was also doing a research for food recipes for my 1 year old daughter. She probably is bored with her daily menu (plain lugaw + veggies) because she lately couldn't finish a bowl. That's why I decided to research, plan and introduce new recipes that she may like. After my research, I thought of simple recipes that could be easily pre
It's true that once you have a family, you will think of them first before yourself. And that goes too with shopping. There was an anniversary bazaar in our company last week and the prices of the items in it was lower than the regular prize in malls. My collegues started to purchase items mostly for themselves during the opening day. But I got to shop on the last day o
I just found out this cool web place, the BC Bloggers' Secret, wherein you can check out other blogs and even place your site in its list. I decided to join, to visit other people's sites and be fascinated with their blogs. I decided to join to also share my blog to them. And I'm hoping you will join too! It'll be so much fun! :) Click this link to know how to join: htt

from: http://i-love-cartoons.com/ I was browsing for a good clipart to add in my blog, and I found this one! This picture really reminds me of my family---The Flintstones!--- I'm Wilma, Fred's my husband, and Pebbles is our baby Rian. We don't actually have a dog to portray Dino, but we have a stuff toy cat named Baby Siops (a gift I received from my husband way back when we
I attended a training workshop in our company which talked about Problem Solving and Decision Making using KT (Kepner-Tregoe) process. KT process includes a very systematic way to analyze and address problems. We run this training program in our company to boost our Managers' problem solving and decision making skills in work. But the KT process can also be used bey
It was last June 27 when my husband Jeff and I watched Toy Story 3. We actually liked to watch it a weekend before but cinemas were all jampacked! Even on the day we watched the film, cinemas were still crowded, we ended up buying a ticket for a 3D (which we really planned to), in IMAX at Mall of Asia (which was a hundred pesos more expensive than the regular 3D but sobrang su
I'm having a looong weekend right now. But I'm not in the mood to celebrate it because I'm on sick leave. And there's nothing exciting on being sick. Monday afternoon-- a heavy rain poured down from the heavens. And because I didn't want to get stuck in the office because it seemed like a long heavy rain, I got out of the office after work, 5pm on the dot. It was super
After two weeks, Rian will celebrate her very first birthday! And as her mommy, I'm very excited and proud of her! Over a year, Rian has grown to be a cute baby who has a strong personality but with a very big heart. She knows what she wants and would not stop wailing until she gets it. But she's also a loving baby who shows affection to those around her by showering them wit
My Daddy...he's the most patient man I've ever seen, the one who treated me almost like a princess (well, I'm his only daughter!), but also never forgot to give me lectures and lessons about life. He had been my model especially in my studies because I had always wanted to become an active stud like he was-- a writer, a student council member, a very studious and responsible student.&nbs
Thi blog is about my summer get-away with my hunny last May 2010. Los Banos, Laguna is most famous in hot springs resorts in the Philippines (and I'm very proud of it because I grew up in this town!). It is also famous for its Buko Pies, Espasols, and Cow's milk (yummy!). And of course, the well-known legend of Maria Makiling took place in here (in the deep forests of Mo
My baby Rian never got fever and colds during her first 10 months of life...until now! Well, actually I am really expecting that sooner or later, she would be sick because she can't be sick-free all her life, could she? But I wasn't expecting that she would have it now, in the middle of my busy working days (the time I couldn't take another absent for the meantime be
My husband and I love these shops! Well, not too much, but there are times when we go to the mall, we find ourselves window-shopping (and at times, to our surprise, we end up purchasing) in these shops. When we search for a perfect birthday or Christmas gifts for family and friends, we usually visit the Clipper shop. It has variety goodies such as office, school, and home s
Summer in the Philippines starts at around the month of March and April. But for me, my summer just started this May, 2010 (even though it felt like the whole year is going to be summer because of the heat. It's sooo hot here in our country!)...walang pahingang weekends ito!!!!! May 1 - Labor Day. I was supposed to have the vaccination against Cervical cancer, but sinc
Baguio City, Philippines is well-known to be a city full of ghost stories (and streets full of ghosts, actually). And this one's probably a proof. FYI, I didn't edited this photo. I would like to share this with you so...see for yourself: Our office department had an outing / teambuilding at Baguio City just this month (May 2010). This was taken du
Last week, an officemate of mine asked me which is more important for me-- my work or my family. I confidently answered, "my family". Well, I work for my family, right? Actually, I was kinda irritated by his question because it sounded sarcastic...or was it just I was being too sensitive because I didn't want to be confronted like that-- choosing between two important aspects
I planned to take the vaccine against Cervical Cancer eversince my OB told me about it 3 years ago after I had my first pap smear exam (which the result was normal, thank goodness!). But since I got pregnant, I couldn't take the vaccine (and it was expensive--- about 4000+ Php x 3 because it's composed of 3 shots. I can't afford it back then). So now that my baby is 9 months
My husband Jeff, my baby Rian and I attended my niece's 7th birthday party. It was held at a resort in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines. We traveled all the way from Alabang to Laguna just to attend that very special day (hey! It's my time to make bawi to my niece...i had not attended her birthday last year!). The party theme was princess theme, since Alyssa (that's my niec
My hunny Jeff, our baby Rian and I went to Healthway in Festival Mall, Alabang yesterday afternoon to visit a Pediatrician because we planned to get a new doctor, since we're now staying here at Alabang. It's a hassle for us if we would travel back to Batangas (which was almost an hour away from Alabang) for my baby's regular check ups and immunization shots. Since w
It's been three years since my husband and I went to Bohol to take another out of town trip to get away from the stress caused by work for a short time. Actually,our Bohol trip was his birthday gift to me back then. We went there just after my birthday. Bohol is the place in the Visayas region of the Philippines wherein you would get to see famous attractions like
Baguio City (the Philippines' summer capital) is one of the beautiful tourist destinations in our country. It was a city on top of the mountain in the northern Philippines. People love to go there especially during summer because of its cold weather there. It does not snow there (how I wish!), but you really need a warm jacket to keep you warm (or a sweetheart close to
My husband is the one who cooks meals while I am the one who wash the dishes. He practically owns the kitchen, while I practically own the rest of the house (haha!). Yup, he's the cook...but I'm his trainer. I was the one who taught him to cook--- adobo, sinigang, and his favorite tinola. And since he has found a passion for cooking, I just let him do the kitc
**I began to write this post a week when I was still a full time homemaker, before I got hired from my new job. But I finished this a week after I started my new work. Therefore, to avoid confusion, I maintain the persona of a housewife as I continue and finish this entry.** My baby now turned 8 months, and this stage is really different from her early months.&
Among the baby pictures my daughter has with her daddy, this one's my favorite. It was taken when my baby was 2 months old. At her young age, she could already sleep on her side, and copy her daddy's sleeping pose! Haha! Ok...I know that she was not aware of what she was doing, but the sight of that two adorable persons I love most with the same sleeping pose real
By next week, my family will leave our home here at Batangas, and we'll move in with my husband's family at Alabang, Muntinlupa City. A move from a quiet fresh town to a fast paced city. A move from a place overseeing the green mountains of Mt. Makiling to a place near malls and big buildings. Well, it's nothing new for my husband because he had lived there for 28 years...unt
Suddenly, I'm into blogging. I admit, I tried to create blogs before. I had 2 accounts with blogger in 2006, wrote an entry in one of them then I forgot about them (and I also forgot the usernames and passwords I used). I just remembered them when I tried to use URL names in this blog site that I usually use in other sites, I was surprised because they were unavailable. I entered th
Shopping is one of my favorite things to do! That's why I was really excited when my hubby and I took our first baby shopping together when I was 7 months pregnant at SM Lipa, Batangas. It felt like buying Christmas presents for someone very special. Before that shopping day, I already made a list of what to buy. I got ideas from magazines (Smart Parenting) and internet
(A note I made from Facebook) I've found this entry while I was browsing my friendster blog a while ago. It was originally entitled "Sagot sa Katanungan ni Pio (Part 1 and 2)" and it was intentionally a reply to a question asked to me by Jeff's friend, Pio (who is also ka-FB ko na, so he might read this again. haha!) I am reposting this entry in my FB notes just to remind myself how happy I
