shopping for baby

They say 2008 is the lucky year for marriage and birth ... and I can't believe most of my friends heeded this advice. We even call it baby boom year for some of my blogger friends and colleagues. As early as January, I already got several text messages from my friends sharing their preggo news and was even invited to number of baby showers here in the office. To date, I've attended four baby showers already, and more parties to attend by third quarter of this year! Awesome baby making year, huh! Because of this, I've been busy organizing surprise party for my close preggo friends in between gift shopping for toys and baby clothing. Really happy and excited for them! And I just can't wait for my turn this year. I do have preggo plans, you know...that is to become preggo too by last quarter 2008! Wish me luck!

honoring "HER" ... Mother's Day Treat

Since MAY is Mom's Day month ... this tag still valid and not yet late for posting! Palusot pa ako Ems! Hahaha! Seriously..., thanks girl for remembering me!

My Mom, Sam and me at Fort Bonifacio Global

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” --- Washington Irving

Though we have differences, and most of the time we don't see eye to eye ... my Mom is the best! She's always there whenever I need her. She's with me at my best ... and loved me during my worst times. Truly showed me the real meaning Mother's love ... Happy Mother's Day Mommy!!

need acne treatments

Lately, I am having problems searching for the right acne treatments for my son Ico who is now on his pre-teens stage. I've tried buying several on the shelf medications such as Ponds, Eskinol for Men and Celateque but the acne problem still persists. Much to be blamed on his love for oily food like chicken skin, peanuts and chocolates, late night sleeping habits and laziness to start a cleansing regimen. As my son would always say, using facial soap and visiting a dermatologists too sissy for big boys such as him! Aaahh... boys! I can't wait he becomes conscious of his looks by the time he's a teenager... and that would be two years from now! I bet, the sissy facial regimen as he claims shall now be basic and neccessary good grooming ritual!

telecoms talk

Being in the telecommunications industry for almost ten years, it is not unusual that you will hear me talk some techie telco jargon in between my marathon conversations. Others are often surprised to hear me talk about routers, bandwidths, leasedline, metro ethernet, cable patch panels and even IP protocols in the middle of my LV, Gucci, diapers and kiddie party planning talks! Hah...never ceased to amaze my colleagues and friends!! Sometimes my friends would mistakenly think I am more of a Network Engineering graduate than a degree holder in Hotel and Restaurant Administration, field I truly love! But, it is really flaterring to hear these kind of comments especially in the industry I am with now. So the next time you need help in your internet or LAN connectivity, don't be intimidated by my sweet, bubbly and wifey appearance ... I can guarantee you, I am one tough techie-cookie inside!

bridal shower party preps

I am so happy for my good friend and colleague, Anne who will get married this year. She’ll be married on August 08 2008, the much coveted lucky feng shui calendar dates by the Chinese.

I can’t wait to see her wed on this day. I am sure the wedding will be beautiful and magical with its Zen black and white theme which is truly my friend’s personality. And since knowing how so obsessive-compulsive my friend is, I bet all the wedding details and preparations have been finalized and we are just waiting for the big day! Hmmm… I guess I should be preparing her surprise bridal shower too! For starters, need to choose the party theme to set the mood and get her the best bridal shower invitations for her guests. Oh just can’t wait!!! It’s going to be wild, kinky and fun night for all her guests!
