You Are an Architectural Heel

You are excited by knowledge, and reading is not enough for you. You like to conduct your own experiments. You are a total visionary. You have your own idea about utopia, as impractical as it may be. You are astute and downright smart. Your intelligence is subtle and shrewd. You are deeply intuitive. For you, gut instincts will always trump logic.

What Kind of Heel Are You?

Terno shoes

I know I love terno! Hehehe. My lil Angel and I loves dressing up the same. =)

This time I found a supplier for the mom and kids shoes. I am ready for production. Happy happy joy joy! Hope next time I will be able to find shoe supplier for dads and sons cause my son is asking if I can make a terno for him and his dad. Hope to release my collections soon!

HPV shot!

I have always trusted my Ob-Gyne. She's always like a mom to me. After all, she's my mom's Ob-Gyne too.

She introduced me to HPV. We have an idea about it. And Schatzy was telling me to get one... so, I did. It was not the spur of the moment decision but a long time dream. We have been saving for this in a long time. To know more about HPV check this out.

I got a BELLE band-aid from her. Hahaha. I like it!

Ehem! True!

Your Energy is Colorful

You travel light. There's nothing worse than having too much baggage. You have a restless heart, and you get sick of the same old routine. You don't just love change, you crave it. The world fascinates you. You maintain a childlike curiosity about everything. You're the type of person who is always on. You refuse to do anything on autopilot.

What's Colorful About You?

Blogthings: Learn Something Surprising About Yourself

Oh I'm loving and living my life.

It started with a paper house, a drawing and a prayer. My life isn't perfect. I said to myself that I would take care of my family the way that I have envisioned years ago. I would play the role of the mom that would prepare for her kids snacks for school, when they get home I would help them with their assignments. I would not spoil them but teach them things that they have to know cause I can't be around all the time. Sabi nga ni Jesus "Teach them how to fish, and they will never be hungry again."

As for my Schatzy, I help him with his needs, prepare his food (not all the time) and take care of him. It not easy to juggle my time, it needs balance, right timing and determination to finish my tasks. I am happy that my planner is filled with events and tasks that makes me very productive.

The fulfillment it gives me makes me happy. At least the simple things that I was longing for during my childhood are experienced by my family.

Complete body but won't work.

It's been a year since I had an ACCIDENT. It's crazy! I can believe that I have surpassed this trial. I just can't understand how come some people would not, could not do anything to help themselves. I read this article about a http://globalbalita.com/2009/filipina-pilot-extraordinaire/ but still could do, would do a lot of things.

I was walking in the market with 2 heavy bags on both of my hands when a man approached me and begged for money. If you could see him he has a complete set of fingers and toes. His body has muscles too but he opted to beg than to help himself. THE NERVE! When I got home, I told my Schatzy about the man. "My arms are ready to fall off my shoulder because the bags are so heavy, I walked a long way to buy stocks and carried another set of heavy plastic to make an honest living. Then the man approach me asking for money just like THAT!"

Yup! I am so angry. I can't say more.

Twenty Peso challenge

I can never spoil my son because I know in the end he will be the one who will benefit from it.

He wanted a lego starwars and I told him that I can't afford to give him that cause my work is not sufficient. He told me "What if I work for you?" Hmm. An idea that I could not resist.

So, one day, I asked him to work for me. His task is to help me clean the table, put the squidballs on stick. Prepare all the food that we need in the store. For 3 hours of working I'll give him 20 pesos.

After 2 hours, he asked me "So mommy, is my work done?"
I answered " Nope. Not yet. you still have an hour."
"What? how many hours pa?"
"One more hour." Then I smiled
"Can I sit and talk to you? La pa naman ako work eh." As we sit he started talking about his work. "Hirap pala work noh. Napapagod ako. I'm tired. It's not easy!"
I smiled. "Anak, you see mommy has too work hard to help daddy in sending you to school and paying the bills. It would require for me to leave you sometimes so I can work. I hope you understand."

"Mommy, I understand po. Thank you for letting me work. Now I understand it is not easy."

Now my son keeps his first salary and doesnt want to use it until he saves up so he can buy his lego star wars. Now he takes care of his toys.

I know I did the right thing.He knows how to value his money now. =)

My bag!

What Your Handbag Says About You

You are concerned with how you appear. Projecting your high status is important to you. You tend to be relaxed throughout the day. You are naturally at peace. You are a high maintenance person. You feel lost outside of your normal environment. You are open and comfortable with who you are. You don't hide anything. You are a very creative person. Your life tends to be a whirlwind, but you always seem to pull it together. You are practical and down to earth. You tend to be a rather reserved and quiet person. You are a very unique and special person. There's no one else who is anything like you.

The First Rule of Blogthings Is: You Don't Talk About Blogthings

Yeah! Yeah!

One way to celebrate my birthday! Oh BREAKING DAWN! hehehe.

My lil hero's advance birthday party

As per my lil hero's request, we did celebrate his birthday a bit earlier.

A MONTH earlier. =)

I can understand why he wants it earlier. His birthday falls on April which is a school break. On our side, it's better cause we just need to feed the kids in his class.

He wanted an Astroboy theme. He really is a fan. I bought a small cake and placed his Astroboy coinbank on top, then made tags for the kids meal, saying "Thank you for sharing this day with me. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. Jazer"

A big loot bag was given after they ate their meal. The kids enjoyed their treat.

First night of my first bora trip

We gave ourselves an hour to rest. Then we went to "D Mall", ate our dinner then we looked for our friends.

We were really tired but I managed to walk on my own and look for barbeque. I saw a bunch of fire dancers. Then head back to our hotel. I have to admit after finishing a bottle of wine I was so sleepy.

My first Bora trip. =)

I know for some they have been there and back but for me, this is my first. I didn't know why people fell in love with Boracay. So, I decided to see it for myself. =)Together with my friend (another first timer) Chie and our partners (the not so first timers), we went to Boracay to see it for ourselves.From our Pal flight in Kalibo we took a bus going to Catiklan. From there a boat transfer was waiting. From the port, we took a van that was waiting for us. We were asked to walk from the road to the shores where Zuzuni boutique hotel is. We rested for awhile then started our adventure.

Firedancers

They are really hip in Bora. I love to take their pictures while they perform. I got surprise for my first try, then I got addicted, believed that I can take pictures using an DSLR. Hehehe. Well, a
s they say, practice makes perfect.

We met the fire dancers of Sandbox. A restobar that appears on the shores of Bora during night time. Carla, the lead dancer was really great (not his real name).

He's moving up to prep!

Kudos for our lil hero Jazer! He is now moving to prep this coming school year!He graduated with flying colors. He is one of the most outstanding students in his level.

I often tell Schatzy, myself and Fairy Faye that this is a group effort. If not for Ate Faye, lil hero won't wake up in the morning (they often struggle) have a yummy breakfast and baon. If not for Schatzy and me he wont be able to go to school and he wont have someone to teach him with his homework. Sometimes even his lil sis will help him and remind him with his homework.

That's why I believe this award is our family's group effort.

Here's my son with his best buddy.

Supermoon

Yeah... I had this feeling of capturing the moon tonight. They said it comes "once in a blue moon" for these events to happen so yeah! I have to save it.

Here's what's it all about... supermoon

What's keeping me busy?

Playing this game is sooooo addictive. I end up waking in the wee hours just to click on my haven.

The game relaxes me thats why I play it. I try to squeeze it in my busy schedule.

I really don't want to play this at first but yeah! I liked it.
