Lauriat

We attended a wedding of a cousin and brought the boys a few weeks ago and dinner was done Chinese style — a lauriat.   This means that there were several courses (10 or 11!) from appetizers (cold cuts) all the way to dessert.
To make sure P eats (he can be picky), I checked out the [...]

Parents Ponder—on ATTACHMENT PARENTING

(X post from MomEx)

We all do, don’t we? Especially about our children—how we parent them, how we “discipline” them, how we feed them, how we love them, and ultimately, how cute they are!
It just seems that when moms get together, the conversation is unending. And what’s great is that we learn from each other!
Well, [...]

Wedding Guests

S and I attended a wedding at the Shangri-la Makati on behalf of his parents last night.
I expected it to be boring (didn’t know anyone!) but it turned out to be okay (our friend was the videographer for the wedding)! For one thing, when we saw the setting, I was hopeful that the food [...]

Halalan 2007

I voted, I voted!

Honestly, it was only because S took so long in his line. (I didn’t want to because I had such a nice manicure and I didn’t want the indelible ink to ruin it!) So I asked the people who were at my precinct to please *please* put a little bit [...]

I’ve never been to my high school homecoming–EVER.
But I’ve been to S’s highschool homecoming several years ago when VJ Nonie Tao of MTV Asia was hosting. And that batch who brought Nonie in has done it again.
Last Saturday, the highschool celebrated their Golden Jubilee. And they estimated around 1,500 people to attend…but lo and behold, [...]

Lazy Sunday

Yesterday started really late for S and I. We skipped out on the usual Sunday thing with the rest of his family and went out ourselves.

First stop was the Legazpi Market. Since S is not an early riser, he’s never been to any of these organic markets (heck, I’ve been to the Salcedo Market only [...]

Gymboree Talk

Check out the loot Ella and I got at the Gymboree Baby Fair yesterday. J&J diaper wipes (which we can use for cleaning our hands because K’s finally toilet-trained!!), Drypers, an Avent Via cup, and — get this — a pair of kid havaianas!!

A Spy?

As I was preparing for my friend, Patty E’s wedding, I hear a small voice pipe up. “Mom, don’t put make-up…your friends won’t recognize you through your disguise!”
HAHAHAHAHA!
With the next line being: “Mom, I think you look better without make-up!”
Awwwwwwwww!!!!
And just so all of you know…here’s how I looked in my “disguise”:
