Still here.

I am still here. I have just been too busy and too lazy to update my blog. I have not even blog- hopped for a while.

I hope all is well with everyone. :)

Online Tools I use for my Photos

I have decided to retire my Shutterfly account as my online album. I have used Shutterfly for over 2 years to post albums online and share them with family and friends. But I have discovered a new online tool which is faster and offers better features for an online album. I am now using Picasa Web Albums. I will now only use my Shutterfly account to create scrapbook pages. I have also recently signed up for a Photobucket account and I use this to edit my photos online, it has features similar to Photoshop.

Explore explore explore :).

Pinoy Dream Academy

I just have to say this quickly. Nakaka-irita ang Pinoy Dream Academy. We did not intentionally watch tonight's show, but since we came home for dinner, we were able to watch it. I was so surprised to see that those who have the "voice" were the ones waitlisted. Susme, nde magagaling ang nakapasok! Yung may kwento, yun ang mga nakapasok. Ganyan ba ang show na yan talaga? Kainis!

I hope Jet Singh makes it. He has a nice voice. Similar to the voice of Ogie Alcasid. I hope people would vote for him to join the "Scholars".

Kythe Charity Run Update

- Updated the list of our friends who pledged for MS's run in my previous entry.
- MS finished 4 laps this morning. ;)

I will be sending out the bank details of MS for the pledges within today.

A Father's Day Post :)

I have 999 reasons to brag about MS as a father, let me share with you the top 5 so as not to bore you with the long list :).

1. He really really finds time to play with Trisha. He has his uber busy moments at the office, but when I remind him about not spending enough time with his daughter, he would immediately do something about it. The house gets crazy when father and daughter run around the house chasing each other or playing hide & seek. The laughter and shrieks of happiness from Trisha are the sweetest sounding "noise" I have ever heard.

2. He spends time watching Barney with Trisha. We both hated Barney before Trisha came. We promised we wouldn't let Trisha watch Barney stuff as we couldn't really understand why kids love Barney. But today, all 3 of us (MS, Trisha and myself) LOVES Barney! We watch Barney DVDs all the time and we only listen to Barney songs on the car stereo whenever Trisha's with us in the car. Thanks to Barney - Trisha now knows how to count to 10, she knows her ABCs, and she knows all the dialogues from her Barney DVDs. Talk about a change of heart.

3. He wakes up to feed Trisha or change her nappies when I am too sleepy to do so. He has been a hands-on dad eversince I gave birth to his darling daughter. And I appreciate it when he volunteers to get up when he knows I am too tired or sleepy.

4. He makes an effort to come home early and be with Trisha when I go on business trips (has only been once so far, with another one coming this July) or when I have dinner with friends (which is very rare as well). MS has to work late because he goes to work late ;). So it really means a lot to me when he comes home early during these rare times that I need him to.

5. He patiently carries Trisha around when we go to the mall. It's so difficult to shop with a baby! I think all mommies will agree with me on that. Especially at Trisha's age when she just loves to run around and touches everything that gets her curious. I appreciate it so much when MS would distract her from me so I can fit shoes or clothes or just to make my purchase.

Hon, thanks :). Trisha is really blessed to have you as a Dad.

Happy Happy Father's day to you.

Updates on Hubby's Charity Run

- I updated the list of our friends who committed to pledge for MS' Charity Run for Kythe.

- MS was able to confirm details with Kythe and they informed him to keep track of all the people who will donate since they will be releasing Individual ORs for all the donations made :). So everyone will be receiving their individual ORs from Kythe.

More updates later :). I hope more friends will send in their pledges for this charity run.

My hubby's charity run for Kythe

MS organized a fun run for their group in HP on Saturday. This fun run will be for charity and for this first run, all pledges will go to Kythe. I have texted my friends last night inviting them to make their pledges for MS' run. MS said he is targeting to complete 4-5 laps for this charity run. You could either pledge per lap or pledge a one time amount :).

So far, our following friends committed to pledge for his run:

Res S - 1000php
Ruben E - 1000php
Crizel dC - 1000php
Celle R - 500php per lap
Leslie P - 1000php
Anonymous Couple frm U - 1000php

I will be posting all the pledges made to MS through me in this blog and I have also asked MS to update his blog with all the pledges he gets, so everything is accounted for.

We will be sending the bank account details after the run so everyone who would pledge could just deposit directly to the bank. We will post updates on our blogs once the donations are made to Kythe.

I am truly proud of MS for this charity run :).

Tagaytay Wedding

We attended the wedding of our good friends, Jojo & Luanne, in Tagaytay last Saturday. We were late in church because we had to take Trisha to Makati Med for a checkup before heading to Tagaytay. Here's our family picture taken by Tito JC outside the Chapel on the Hill :).



Trisha was wearing her white Gingersnaps dress I bought a long long time ago ;). And her white Zara sandals we bought a couple of weeks ago for such occasions. I think she had a great time during the wedding, especially at the reception where she played with bubbles from the bubble-maker machine ;).

"Look Mommy"

This is her new favorite phrase and I so love it ;).

I'm Ready To Go Shopping Mom

Our "Little Person"

Here's a picture of Trisha taken last weekend. She really is growing up fast!

Cuteness Overload

I saw this site while browsing on one of my favorite blogs. You should check this out. So so so cute.

Guess what's happening here :)

guess guess guess!

Sisters for Life

I so love my sisters :).

I must have done something good

I am happy. As a wife and as a mother. I have a loving family. I have a good job. At 31, I think I have done well so far in life. I must have done something good that God blessed me with a loving husband who gifted me with a wonderful daughter. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with somebody else. I am looking forward to many healthy and loving years ahead. Life is good :).

{I love you hon ;*}

Havaianas

I so love Havaianas! I still remember the first pair I got which I asked a friend to get it for me in Singapore. After that, I got pair after pair here in Manila. Now, may favorite model is the Havaianas Slim, I have 5 pairs, one pair I gave my mom. And now she wears it everyday too :).

And of course, my daughter has her own collection too :). So far I already kept 3 Havaianas that no longer fit her (one white Brazil and 2 of those Baby Havaianas collection). Now she wears Havaianas Top, call it addiction, but since H.Brazil was no longer available when she outgrew the first pair I got her, I got her all sizes of the white H.Top when the collection was released here in Manila :D.

Here are the 2 pairs she wears now :).

Trisha's Gold Shoes

I love Trisha's gold shoes ;). This is a good buy from Rustan's. I had her wear this for a couple of days, but since it's still big for her (she kept on kicking it off her feet), I shifted her back to her Havaianas and I am waiting for this to fit her tiny feet :).

Finally

We have all been waiting for MAC's graduation from college (nursing!). Finally, the long wait is over. She graduated last April 18 and what made it more special was that MAL came home for a month long vacation. Attached picture is from our happy happy party! My hubby is not with us since he was the one who took this shot :).



Congratulations my darling sister :). Next stop: pass your board exam :). Still a long way to go, but getting there. have faith!

Singapore Budget Terminal

:) I have been in Singapore since Monday for a business trip. I had to take the Cebu Pacific flight at 830pm last Sunday since we just got back from Baguio, Sunday afternoon to attend MAC's graduation last Friday.

It has been a busy week and I can't wait to be home! I am waiting to board my flight at the Budget Terminal of Singapore Airport ;). Yeah yeah, I did not get the chance to see SG's Terminal 3 since Cebu Pacific flights board at the Budget Terminal. I still have a few hours to wait, my flight leaves at 1240am. Hopefully, my flight today leaves on time.

Goodnight everyone :). Can't wait to be back home in Manila :).

Trisha

I just wanted to share these photos of Trisha. She looks so much like MS, except for the eyes :).
