two movies that i've been meaning to watch...

random weekend & monday night at home

Our friend Tricia is here so it's get together time for us girls. I wasn't that eager to go anywhere. Common it's Monday! told them to just come over at my house after dinner for dessert/ coffee. That way, I won't be guilty to leave Kyle alone on a schoolday.

Tricia brought cello's doughnuts , I have blushing cupcakes served that I bought over the weekend,Tositos & this superb cheese dip that my mom in law got from S&R. Naomi & tricia tried the leftover pasta from the boys' victory party last Sat :)

These are Naomi's pasalubong from Europe trip. She gave me 2 :) Luvet!

Friendly friends at home. It could've been a desperate housewives night at home if only everyone is married but since they're not, SATC nalang ata! :D it's so fun talking to the girls. stress free monday! we had good laughs till half past midnight. Kyle joined too but he went to bed earlier of course.

My brother Jc gave me this for pasalubong last weekend. Ano ba? Implying something bro?! :p Sge, we'll see if this one works out. :)

Husband & I watched Wanted with my brothers, Jc & Mico last Sunday.The film is so cool and angry! Angelina Jolie is such an idol!

Congratulations to my husband and the team for winning 2nd place in this basketball league -that I wasn't able to support & watch religiously. Sorry babe! Kyle was there naman the whole time to cheer on my behalf :)

Saturday night at Bambi's garage! the boys' victory party :)

It was Manila Day yesterday so it's free day for me too! Yahoo! I was able to spend so much time with my two boys. I was a full time mommy/wifey even for one day. I started really early. I woke up at 7am and headed over at AGS for the scheduled PTC. It was my first time to meet Kyle's adviser this schoolyear. My boy is the homework beadle (tasked to check if everyone in class did their homeworks). He makes me so proud. Teacher said he's super behaved & responsible in school. I really pray he remains to be like that even when he gets older.

Finished the meeting at 0830 and went back home to pick up Kyle for his Kumon Diagnostic Exam. Hubby & I decided to enroll him in Kumon class so he can divert extra time in practicing Math skills. Kumon is far from the usual tutorial centers, rather it helps children develop calculation skills without a sweat. The Diagnostic Exam is to check the child's ability & be able to determine his level and start his training from there.


I remembered checking out Kumon few years back when Kyle was still in pre-school. A friend recommended it but at that time, I wasn't that interested yet. Maybe because the little boy was doing very good academically & I felt that he didn't need it anymore. I'm excited for Kyle :) In Kumon, they will be given worksheets of 10 pages each to answer everyday at home and they will have to report at the Kumon center twice a week. The concept is most likely repetition & mastery and the vision is to be able to individually perfect the skills. Kumon offers Math & English programs only.

We went to Rustan's Supermarket after. Kyle shopped for baon :)

Made Of Honor is really funny. Hubby & I wanted to unwind yesterday afternoon so we ran for a movie date in Eastwood. Ok pala magwatch pag weekday! There were like less than 20 people inside the cinema. There was an old couple pa nga who watched also and Jp whispered to me na when we're old like them, gusto nya we'd still go out on movie dates (blush).

The film was hilarious! It's actually a "My Bestfriend's Wedding" type of film. Patrick Dempsey (Tom) is really a prince charming. I like Michelle Monaghan's (Hannah) simple clothing style in this film. Her wedding gown is like mine except that my lace bolero is short sleeved.

A feel good movie perfect for a lazy afternoon &my dark mocha frap from starbucks :)

What's for dinner on a Tuesday night?:)

Whole olives and sundried tomatoes in whole wheat pasta

Spicy Salami (hubby's favorite pica pica)

Cheese!

Galileo mode at home.. less the wine...

Watched Hulk movie last Saturday with my husband's cousin & his fiance. Awesome!I was a bit hesitant to watch it. For one, Hulk's face is not so handsome & i'm scared (honestly!). 2nd,I didn't like Hulk in 2003 , found it really boring and dragging. My husband didn't like it too. He got bored as well. Now at least, this film paid off and will cover up disappointments from the earlier Hulk movie.

Liv Tyler is really lovely :)

The battle between the two giants was tiring! too much action! but it was all right & more worth it this time. And of course, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr/Tony Stark) showing up as a surprise on the later wowed the viewers even if it was nothing actually. :)

I'll be out of town this weekend for our annual company outing. How I wish I could bring Jp & Kyle along with me. I'll miss my boys. :(

And yeah, am looking forward to a reunion with college friends in a quaint resto somewhere in Ghills on Friday. Haven't seen Hans & Leej since my wedding day. In fact the two are exclusively dating already (daw). Marielle & I are both excited to meet the girls.:)

I love Chef Tony's White Chocolate Walnut popcorn. Bought one big bucket last saturday at Pricemart. The toasted walnuts are really tasty, it complements the sweet flavor of the white chocolate. I brought it with me in the office for afternoon snack. Shared it with officemates of course :)

Two more weeks to go!Husband and I will surely have the best time of our lives! Excited! can't wait! :)

the weekend's for the kiddos!

We watched Narnia (Prince Caspian) with my brothers Sunday night at Theater Mall. Loved it like the first one (The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe). The movie is very entertaining! Funny, sentimental & full of action at the same time. The Pevensie siblings have grown and their acts are better this time. Ben Barns is charming like what a prince should be like and he played a good role too as Prince Caspian.

My family liked the film. I like Aslan. He's really cute when talking to Lucie. Nothing like what a normal scary lion is like. Very fatherly too.

Narnia: Prince Caspian

It was declared public holiday last Monday so we were lucky to have more time with our families. No work on Mondays meant long weekend :) Watched KungFu Panda with the Canoys at Eastwood. The kids definitely had a blast! They were laughing their hearts out the whole time. Po, Panda is so cute and cuddly. Kyle loved him! Love the actions in this film. The boys liked Tigress among the Furious Five.

The film is a story of fulfilling your dreams & going through the odds of hard work to reach that. And that after a roller coaster of hard training and discipline, you will be rewarded in the end. It was explained well. Enough for the younger generation to pick up something.

Just yesterday, i've noticed Kyle's been a little conscious about the food that he eats. Hehe! my boy got conscious! He doesn't want to be as big as Po Panda!

get CARRIEd away

I had my long awaited movie date with my bestfriend Marielle last night at Greenbelt 3. I know every chick in town is excited & giddy to see Sex And The City movie. I enjoyed the film so much and I can watch it over and over again! But on the other hand, I would agree why some people who saw it first were unhappy about the cuts. True, editing is kinda bad and yeah the film is R13 anyway so why have almost all of the adult scenes censored? :) Nevertheless, the movie is good as it is and yeah, I would love to see this film again! Can't wait when the dvd comes out! Mar,Tricia, Naomi... SATC night at my place?!

Singer/Actress Jennifer Hudson is really lucky to play the part of Carrie's Assistant in this film.

I love the dresses! I love the colors! I love the shoes! I love the bags! This ladies are so toned! And their at their what? 50's hahaha! Gosh, I better be serious with my diet now :D

holidays

We didn't plan any out of town trips for the Holy Week. Sigh. Husband works in a company who follows the US holidays so meaning he'll be working until Friday, I work in a travel industry meaning holidays such as holy week is our super peak season so I gotta be working even from home, and chicken pox hit our little boy last friday meaning we really are to stay home for this long weekend.

That's all good though. This could be a good rest & quality for all of us .Probably we can finish cleaning up at home (long overdue from last January) Oh! My brother Mico is spending the long week with us. Hehe! Mind you that's WEEK not WEEKEND.He's been looking after Kyle since last Saturday. Super thanks to him, our little boy is that irritated with all this itchy pox that's coming out from his bod because my brother is there to cheer him up :)

Am excited to do wifey duties this Holy Week.. cooking sumptuous meals fro my family is one thing that makes me feel fulfilled. The look in my husband's "busog" face and Kyle's happy eyes just makes my heart melt.

Overdue books.. 'been wanting to finish these books for months now but sad to say I don't have much time anymore. Hopefully, I can finish 1 or 2 for the long weekend. I'm good if I finish all three hehe!
This is a gift from husband last Feb. wanted this book badly but it's been out of stock most of the time at Powerbooks & Fully Booked. Husband surprised me one day :) He got it from A DIFFERENT BOOKSTORE in Eastwood Citywalk.

A very special wedding gift from our Ninong Joey Santos. We are very touched because aside from the fact that Jp & I both love to read, we felt that our ninong thought of giving us this book bacause he really wanted to bring impact & guide us in our marriage life. Thanks again Ninong Joey!


From Fully Booked last weekend. 'have to finish this because I want to read BRIDA after !:D

Oh I almost forgot that we have an activity in the village on Sunday. I was asked to take part of the events committee in BRB, i'm excited to work with them. Our first project is the Easter Celebration on the 23rd. Met up with Ria & Tita Mona last Friday to plan for the games & prizes. I really hope Kyle will be well na by Sat so he can join the fun on Sunday. He's very excited because he saw me preparing the flyers etc. last week.


I finished watching 27 dresses dvd last night then Kyle watched Water Horse after. I fell asleep watching:P I plan to finish 2 dvds by Friday :)

No Reservations

Jp & I went to watch No Reservations last Friday. I personally wanted to see this film because I am fan of Catherine Zeta Jones (next to Julia Roberts hehe) ...and because there is a culinary touch in the story. I love to cook and for some really close friends, they know that I am a frustrated chef :D I initially wanted to take up culinary studies for college but my folks is not very supportive of it... and I have financial responsibilities to take care of so this dream is set aside for the meantime.

The film is very light and inspiring.Simple movie. The recipes are mouth-watering. Makes you want to go on a date in a fine dining restaurant with the man of your dreams. However, Katherine Zeta Jones' appearance in this film is not so beautiful as she is in most of her films. I am disappointed with the film shots. The "grumpy" and "sungit" character of Kate reminds of some people i've met in my life, friends and officemates... hmm, like what i've said, one should have a better outlook in life.. It helps! You can get all stressed in your life but your problems will not be solved that way. lighten up! Smile! :)
