C&P Ultimate Challenge Event

The C&P Ultimate Challenge for our local and foreign partners was held at MMLDC Antipolo last Friday, May 8. Despite the "Emong" storm day before the event, surprisingly, the weather cooperated with us. We were able to execute all the outdoor games including the spider web, egg drop and zip line. I am so thankful that we were blessed with good weather, cooperative clients and very supportive marketing team. Perfect formula for a successful event. All in all, everyone had a great time not only with the mental and physical challenges prepared for the clients, but this even continued until the awarding/fellowship night.

The Ultimate Challenge Participants:
From the country managers, sales sheads, technical managers, sales people .. everyone was a good sport.






The C&P Team : Ladies driven with priorities and goal.

The BBiz C&P Team Fellowship Night

Kudos to BBiz Marketing Team for another successful event for the C&P Team. Now, I look forward to another "kakaiba" summer event party next year. And hopefully do something different and grand for our premiere clients this time. Well, that is if budget would not be a problem. I am sure we might consider bringing our clients to first-class resort like Westgate Lakes Resort and Spa in Florida. Oh well, who knows ... maybe next year. I am sure this will be something totally different.

Happy Halloween!

May you all have a fun-filled, spine-chilling, spooky Halloween night ...

Happy, happy Halloween my dear bloggers !!!

Back from Baguio

After three days and two nights stay in Baguio, I am back!

Despite the rainy and cold weather in Baguio, we all witnessed a very beautiful and romantic wedding! My dear friend Anne got married on her dream wedding date, 08.08.08 and at her dream venue Baguio. It was a black and white theme which was beautifully executed with style by the bride. The wedding took place in a very small chapel Our Lady of Fatima in Benguet, while the reception was held in The Verandah of Manor Country Club. It was one of the best (and farthest) weddings I've attended.

Sharing some of our Baguio wedding pictures ...

photo opps before leaving the manor --- cole, ruth, me (big arms!) and beng

Believe me, it was freezing cold during the reception but we braved the cold weather by drinking countless red wines, coffee and eating several cups of soup (yummy, by the way!). We were surrounded with the company of good friends and colleagues, not minding the biting cold as we chatted and posed for pictures the night away...

candles and a glass of red wine, to warm me up!

Happy Father's Day!!

Father's Day was spent this year with a simple lunch and dinner with the family ... just like how we spent my birthday the day before, no much frills and brouhaha. We just indulged ourselves with tons of buttered crabs, ice cream and my left over birthday cake. Celebration done in a simple and very tipid manner this year. Bought no gift for hubby too..hahaha! Syempre, quits kami noh! But, I bought him his favourite --- 5 kilos of yummy crab and cooked his favorite T-Bone Steak with mashed potatoes. And since we had so much crab for lunch, brought half of it to my FIL as our Father’s Day dinner treat to them. O di ba, super tipid kami. lol.

Anyway, sharing some of our Father’s Day pictures here …

yummy buttered-crab (obvious ba super seafood fanatics kami!)

my specialty: t-bone steak with mashed potatoes in mushroom gravy sauce

Hubby and Ico ... enjoying the meal!

(biggie meal sila! can't believe how they ate 3 servings of my sizzling t-bone steak! sus, ka-takaw!)

To my amazing husband, thank you so much for all the things you’ve given us --- the patience, generosity, unselfish love and sacrifices you’ve done for the family. Thank you for being a great provider not only financially but emotionally and spiritually as well. Above all, thank you for accepting my son Ico wholeheartedly. You may not be his real dad, but you shared so much of yourself and understood him more than anyone else. You’ve been a great teacher, trusting friend and big brother to him. And with that, I thank you so much. We are so blessed having someone like you in our life. Thank you Daddy, Happy Father’s Day! We love you.

missing the MBAPs

Mommy Bloggers Association of the Philippines a.k.a MBAPs.

A group of female individuals coined by Apols who shares common interests (ie: online shopping, shoes and bags), aspirations (motherhood and martyrdom), kwentos (wifey stories and kids) and rakets in life. Purely driven by our desire to be an amazing wife, best mom for our kids, great friend to others and of course doing all these roles while establishing our niche in the web through blogging.

MBAP 2007 Christmas Party at MC Do Glorietta

Hmmmm.... I wonder how they are doing now. Though I get to see some updates and chikas from their blogs, I miss the group. Haven't seen them lately especially after the baby boom news and Apols left for Singapore. I miss our usual chismis time from showbiz to make ups, travel kwentos, raising kids, hubby talks and sharing our dark, naughty childhood secrets (*wink*) . And best of all, I miss getting blogging tips and updates from them!! lol.

Need to catch latest news and chikas from the MBAPs. I guess this month will be the perfect time to meet up to celebrate June birthday girls: Jody, Jane, Joy and moi ; and co-celebrate preggo news of Jane, Mich and Peachy. Probably we can hold early baby shower too! Just perfect. Think the baby bedding I found on the net will be an ideal baby shower gift for the girls.

I am so excited!! Do I hear another round of coffee coming? :)

another Unang Hirit segment

Remember my short tv exposure stint for Unang Hirit weeks ago with Jody for Scotchbrite? Well, I received a call this afternoon asking me if possible to do another segment at my house tomorrow afternoon. Without hesitating, I said yes since I want to redeem myself from my last tv exposure! lol. They need four mommy talents, and three locations (particularly kitchen area) for the Unang Hirit shoot with Suzi Entrata. This time, I won’t personally appear on the segment, but my kitchen will be featured. Hahaha…ok na din. Mind you, wala bayad yun ha maski rental ng kitchen! Think I’ll get free Scotchbrite pads again as payment (sana one year supply noh!) Then I called my friendly neighbors as Mommy talents and asked them if possible to use their kitchen area for the shoot. They all agreed naman. Babait!! And presto...on tomorrow for the Scotchbrite shoot! Will post detailed kwento after the shoot. For the meantime, I need to prepare dirty, greasy pots and pans as props for tomorrow. Hehehe!

Happy Easter!

Wishing everyone a basketfull of love, peace, blessings and joy!!
Happy, happy Easter !!!
