TGIF!

I have been busy these past weeks and proof of that is, I haven't been posting on my blog and I didn't get opportunities that I have been invited to bid on. Oh well, I guess I just took the time to play with the kids after my shift at work. And to get some precious hours of sleep, of course.

After months of super hot and humid weather, it finally rained last night. It wasn't very hard but it sure helped improve the temperature. It wasn't so hot while I was sleeping and I even managed to crawl under the blanket. Wow, that's something new! Because of the summer season here, allergies made it difficult for us. Us, being myself, Jeremy and Jamie. Yep, too bad they inherited it from me. We'd get dry cough and colds although after numerous check-ups, our lungs were clear and our cough were only caused by allergies. It turned out we're allergic to dust, smoke, heat and what have yous. Not to mention, I found out during a routine x-ray that I now have dextroscoliosis. Good thing it is nothing serious and will just have to undergo xray every year. My hubby jokes around and say why do I get ailments that are for the rich people LOL! I don't know the answer to that either :P

Anyway, just 1 more day to go and then I'm free for the weekend. We have one more summer outing on Sunday at Caliraya Resort and I'm sure this will be lots of fun. I'll spend some quality time with colleagues at work. This will be my 3rd summer outing this year and if the rainy season doesn't start yet on May, we'll arrange for our family's last summer hurrah this year. Otherwise, the rain is a welcome change too. I just hope it wouldn't be typhoons like those from last year.

For the meantime, just 1 hour and a half and I'm off to bed. Happy Friday again peeps!

Baking days are here again

Good day!

Just taking a break from a toxic day at work. Daming calls! But of course, I'm not complaining except for my sore throat LOL! Anyways, I have been baking again and thought I'd post a picture of the oreo cupcakes I baked last month. It has buttercream frosting and my father said it was a bit sweet for him but the young ones thought it was delish :)




I'll try to bake new stuff from now on and will post pics so you get to see them too :)

Take care everyone!

New hobby

So, I finally finished the scrapbook for Jeremy's 1st bday (and he's now 3 years old LOL!) I had pictures from our Baguio trip last December printed so that I can start on a new scrapbook featuring our travels last year.

There's just one problem.

I can't seem to find dem pictures LOL! Sometimes I'm so good at hiding things even i couldn't find them :P

Oh well. I know they're just somewhere...better start looking around :)

Welcome, 2010!

Happy New Year!

I am so excited for 2010. I don't know what the future holds for me and my family but I'm positive that this will be a good one. Actually, I have decided that whatever happens, I will embrace it as I know it is part of God's plan for me. I got to watch the New Year mass officiated by Fr. Jerry Orbos on channel 2 and it deeply moved me. I know I worry too much for things that are yet to come and I realized I must surrender everything to Him and let things go His way. I felt lighter after listening to the prayer. From now on, I will do everything I can and let God do the rest. Amen!

Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas everyone!

My blog has been quiet for a long time now and before the year ends, I wanted to post even if it's a short entry.

Christmas this year was nice as we celebrated it with Jamie, our youngest. This was her first christmas and we gifted her with a big teddy bear. As usual, I had a shift but good thing I work from home so we had our 30-minute break at 11:45pm-12:15am. We got to have our noche buena like the others :)

After a few hours, we were on our way to Baguio. Again, it was our first time with the whole family so we were all excited. We just got home last night. Tired from the long drive but definitely happy because it was one trip to remember. Pictures to follow :)

Happy Birthday, Jesus! We thank You so much for everything. We love you!

New Moon Movie Date

Hi everyone! I'm just checking in to the blogverse and I have been so busy these past few weeks. I don't even have time to arrange my farm in farmville LOL

Anyway, I'm just excited for December because of a lot of significant events to happen. Jeremy and my hubby will celebrate their birthdays, a very dear friend will get married (yiiihii!), and for the first time, the whole family will go to Baguio for a quick vacation as the wedding will be held there. I already booked our hotel accommodation and will plan the itinerary too so that we can maximize our time there.

I'm excited for tomorrow too as our account at work will watch New Moon! I'm sure it will be lots of fun and as for me, as long as Edward gets enough screen time, I'm going to be okay :D

Happy weekend everyone!

Choosing the Right Infant Formula

When I was still pregnant with my first born, I was clueless about a lot of things concerning motherhood. I thought if I buy his things branded, it will be better albeit more expensive. But yeah, I just wanted to give him the best and that included his formula milk. Unfortunately I only breastfed my eldest for a month and after that, nothing came out anymore. There was no choice but to feed him infant formula. There are a lot of choices in the market and I opted to go for one of the expensive ones as I equated it with quality.

However, there came a time when due to financial constraints, we had to switch to another brand. We chose another milk coming from the same manufacturer but more affordable. I checked the label and guess what; they almost have the same content! So I checked it more and realized I was only paying for the brand name but in essence they have the same quality because of course, all store brand formula are approved and regulated by FDA.

With this, let’s be careful in choosing the right formula for our children. Not buying the expensive ones doesn’t mean we don’t want the best for them but it just means we want to be economical and at the same time give them the best. In this difficult times I believe we can be wise spenders and give the best care for our children too.
