Shopping Plan On Hold

January 24th, 2009 1 Comment

My plans to invest on kitchen equipment and accessories are officially on hold because of our recent major purchase.  We got a new computer.. and a Mac at that! Weebee!  The long wait was worth it since I had to make sure that it is a Mac and not a PC that I want.  That [...]

Get More Sleep

January 24th, 2009 No Comments

I have always been a ‘light’ sleeper.  A slight click of the door, taps on the floor or snores can wake me up in a snap.  And the problem is going back to sleep.  It’s like my mind boots up like a computer as soon as my eyes open.  My brain starts to process things [...]

I Heart Corelle!

January 23rd, 2009 No Comments

Last week, I chanced upon a dinnerware sale at BigW.  To my delight, the Corelle set of 16 is sold for 40bucks!  That’s only 1,200php.  So I readily got a box that I will give to my sister, who is now dolling-up her condo unit.  From what I know, the selling price in Manila is [...]

A Wannabe Cook

January 22nd, 2009 No Comments

I’m planning to learn more dishes in the coming weeks. There’s this interesting freebie recipe book that arrived by mail last week and there are a lot of beef and pork dishes I would like to try. On the side, I’d like to learn new desserts, too. And when I become a [...]

How Time Flies

Our daughter, these days, have funny sleeping habits. She sleeps in a proper position and would wake up at the foot of the bed. She needs to have her shoes on. Yep, we can only remove them when she’s already in deep sleep. Also, she must have her shampoo bottle beside [...]

Saved by the Bell

January 21st, 2009 No Comments

I panicked a bit when a day before the wedding (where our daughter will be a flower girl) that we were told that the husband should wear a coat and tie. We thought it was a Filipiniana affair with the men wearing Barong Tagalog. So, at the last minute, I hurried off to [...]

No Pets Allowed

January 17th, 2009 No Comments

Our little girl is showing signs that she loves pets. We brought her to the zoo the first time and she loved looking at the animals and was even ready to chase an aggressive goose! When she sees dogs or cats, she makes out the sounds and is never scared to go near [...]

Our Little Girl’s Room

January 17th, 2009 No Comments

I started fixing Amelie’s room to make it some sort of her playroom. Right now, her containers of toys are scattered all over the house. I know even if we designate a room for her playtime, it’s not possible to restrict her to play in one place.
Anyway, I’m thinking of ways for her [...]

In My Dreams

January 17th, 2009 No Comments

The little time I had to shop for myself during the holidays, I managed to grab a pair of flats, which I really like. It’s bronze and can fit jeans and leggings or even a dainty dress. I thought I fitted it pretty well at the store, I even walked a few steps [...]

A First for Everything

January 16th, 2009 No Comments

My daughter had the opportunity to be a flower girl at a family friend’s wedding in December.  We had our scare the first time she tried on her beautiful gown during the fitting.  As expected of a two year old, she cried her heart out as we try to put it on her.
But she made [...]
