Our little boy's Math subject is getting complicated so I am trying to look for ways to make learning easier and fun for him. I'm glad I found this. This multiplication site has ways for both parents and teachers to make multiplication learning less complicated. Last night, I was considering Math Coach, a tutorial center on the 2nd floor of our building in Katipunan to further help Kyle with his Math reviews. Good thing I found this site today! This will really be helpful to both Kyle and me :)

cupcake craze

My friend Tricia ,who is currently based in Ilocos came to visit Manila last weekend. We watched Avenue Q play Sat afternoon then we went to Serendra @ The Fort for Tricia to see the place & try out Sonja's. She's been craving for it when she came across a number of blogs about these cupcake craze...

This tiny restaurant gets really packed.. the cupcakes are a bit expensive (around Php80/pc) actually but I read in one of Sonja's interviews that she uses imported French Brand ingredients and that is the reason why her cupcakes are a little pricey.. Hmmm, tasted it finally! And the verdict? good enough for a once in a while treat.:)

Months of ym messages and were finally here! :)

(7/22) with my high school friends, Tricia & Naomi outside Serendra.. :)

Must loved. Perfect for my afternoon tea. Tricia found the cupcakes too sweet but they were just perfect for my type of dessert :)

It was my first time to try Sonja's also. Too bad Jp & Kyle wasn't with me at that time :( I'm sure the boys will love the cupcakes also! I plan to go back with them soon :) This is one of the rare times that I went to try out a new restaurant or food without Jp. We go together most of the time because this is one hobby that we enjoy doing together.

Naomi & Tricia tried Chelsea for early dinner but I was a a bit unhappy about their service. Duo & Portico pa din talaga ang the best! :D Nevertheless, I am happy for this very quick but productive & memorable get together! :)

Sonja's is located at SERENDRA, Fort Global City.

for my jp :)

You are the air I need to breathe
You are the river of life inside of me
You are the half that made me whole
You are the anchor of my soul

chorus:
You strong when I am weak
You are the words when I can't speak
You never fail to see me through
That's the love I found in you

You are my shelter from the storm
You are the road that leads me home
Baby, with you here face to face
I know I've found my place

Bridge:
Once in every life
You find the one that's right
When you say forever it's true
That's the love I found in you

save the date

The bed that we bought last week for our soon to be home will be delivered in 2 weeks. Self-confessed excited we are, Jp & I scheduled a run to the mall last Sunday to check out some sheets, beddings & comforters. We first went to Living Well - Podium to buy these pillows that I saw months back. The brand is SLEEPCARE. These are hypo-allergenic & aroma therapy pillows. We went to check out sheets & comforters. Jp & I agreed to have earth-color motif for our room. We'll play on browns, tans & beige colors. Not too masculine, not too feminine. We also agreed to use curtains instead of blinds for a more relaxing ambiance. xx
















Of course these aren't the actual pics yet :D These are just a few of our inspirations. I will post actual photos when were done fixing the room :)

One last comment : magastos pero masaya!hehe!:D

my boys enjoying Toytown Shopping :)

Weekends are very special to me because I get to spend time with my family. Like what I usually label my posts : weekends are NO ORDINARY DAY for me.

RED KIMONO





























(above photo) me & fiance with my mom, tita mao (jp's mom) & my brother mico. Dinner night before tita mao's trip for US. We will miss you Mader! :)

Dinner at Red Kimono, a Japanese restaurant in Silvercity (they have a branch at The Fort also!) The food is really good. They have this eat-all-you-can promo @ Php485/head. Super sulit because the menu is really good. The gyoza, spicy teka maki, yakitori & japanese beef fried rice are really yummy!

Jp & I are planning to bring his cousins next weekend :)

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Friday Gateway

Dinner @ Superbowl Gateway, Ever-loved DQ, Fully Booked (09/14/07)

Something to share :) This is fiance's serious addiction next to basketball. So with that, we had to make a room for his dvd collection when we redesigned the family room (used to be patio a.k.a. storage) in his house. I am so happy how this thing turned out. This used to be his storage for shoes, but since I requested that our shoes should be kept and not displayed, he then decided to think of something to maximize the space. Jp designed this dvd shelves. It's overlapping and you can move the front shelf side by side. And guess what? we tried to save by using the old materials of the shoe cabinet instead of buying another batch of woods to use for this.



I could've taken a photo of the old storage/shoe cabinet. This makeover is very successful. Very artistic my Jp :) Isa palang yan ha! We are still working on the other renovations. So happy!

I am really enjoying the stress of slowly building our home. Exag! mas excited pa ko sa pag-fix ng house than the wedding preps hehe :D Every weekend, we try to visit HOME stores and depots. Last weekend, we ended up running to this sale in OUR HOME (Vira Mall) than the shops and malls that we usually go to. It was really worth it.We just bought our new bed for our soon to be nest ;-) I will post home shopping updates/photos soon...

I am watching this with highschool friends on the 22nd :)
I'm excited!

Fungolf

We had our annual Fungolf Tournament last August 20, 2007 at the Tagaytay Highlands Ineternational Golf Club. This is our company's annual treat to the bosses of our top clients. Our simple way of thanking them for their continuous patronage. I had to work even if the Philippine Government declaired that the 20th was a special non-working holiday. Part of my job as Business Development/ Marketing of our company is to handle events. Both stressful and fun.I get to go to places and meet different kinds of people from the industry. From staff to the big bosses. This actually is one privilege that I am both thankful & grateful of. I am truly thankful that I was given this kind of opportunity in my career life.
