Dinner time with Louie and Jos

Last July 29, we had dinner at Mann Hann, Trinoma with my bestfriends Jos and Louie. Matteo is always tagged-along everytime I meetup with them. It has been a weekly tradition for us to see each other, to have dinner and some chit-chat so we could catch-up with what's happening to our lives.

This particular dinner I will never forget because it was like a feast! We were only 4 but we ordered for like 7-10 persons hehehehe...we had yang chow friend rice, spicy squid, spicy spareribs, beef with brocolli flower, hacao, fried noodles, green spinach soup and lotus fried tofu. The food were very delicious. I like everything but the lotus tofu was my favorite. Matteo had fried noodles and soup of course which he loves since he's into noodles and soups lately.

Here are some pics:








(Thanks Jos for the pics!:))

After that sumptuous dinner, we went straight to Starbucks to have some frappucino and blueberry cheesecake.

Thanks for that good night guys, sa uulitin! Love you both!

Tribo Escapade At Anilao

Last weekend, Tribo Palaboy went on a weekend getaway at Anilao, Batangas and stayed at the Bartolome's residence.

I will never forget this trip because its tribo's first time to have gourmet food as meals. Yes I said gourmet because of Tito Amor no less, who was our "chef" during the said trip. He prepared sinigang na baboy, grilled tahong and tilapia for lunch. Then we had sashimi, roasted pork and marinated octupus (can't remember what its called but it taste so good!) for dinner and my favorite of all, okonomiyaki, a Japanese pancake for breakfast. We were so full every mealtime because the food were so yummy and delicious. And the best part was when Tito Amor taught us how to make sashimi and okonomiyaki :)

Here are some pictures of the trip:

Thanks to Jen and Dane for the pics; love you both!

We did snorkling, the boys played jenga and had a couple of beers; Matteo enjoyed throwing stones to the water and playing jenga by himself; we all had fun! And also, it was a very relaxing trip for all of us I must say; away from the busy, polluted and stressful city life.

See you on August 20, Anilao! We can't wait hehehe...

The LDS Blog Train

I am so happy with the August's LDS Blog Train collaboration named "A Name and A Blessing". Its all about newborn babies and baptism; in time for my next photobook project. I hope I can finish with the birthday photobook so I can start with the baptismal one.

Here are examples of kits you will get from the beautiful collaboration:





Thank you very much to all the designers who participated; so generous of you to share your kits with all of us :)

Mojo, Oh Mojo...

... where are you? I can't seem to find you! It's been weeks since my last LO. I need to finish my son's 1st birthday photobook since my 10 free 8x8 photobooks at Artscow will expire in September. Need to to do his baptismal and 1st year photobooks. Oh my gulay! I need to start working or else, I won't have nothing :(

I need to do the following layouts in a 2-page spread: party venue, party program, cake blowing, loot giving and gift opening; this means, 10 pages more. Also, need to finish and revise the following lay-outs: party details, kids and adult guests. A total of 16-pages work load.

Be positive! I know I can do this :) 3 photobooks in 45 days, so help me God:)

BIR

Thank God! I'm done with BIR. I started my week with them and just finished everything today.

I'm the person in-charge of fixing my titas and titos' capital gains and documentary stamp taxes. Actually, I started that last week already. I prepared all the necessary documents before heading to Intramuros. Very tiring but still happy because I've learned and accomplished something eventhough it took me years! hehehe :)

Next step, the Register of Deeds in Manila. Our lawyer told me, she will handle it since its her territory ( She works as a Clerk of Court at RTC Manila). Goodluck Atty. Pascual! =)

Booksale Buys

Now, I'm enjoying going to Booksale and everytime I leave the shop, I always have something on hand. Primarily, I go there to get back issue magazines about scrapbooking. But lately, I'm also into getting cooking, parenting and celebrity magazines, all back issues since they are way cheaper than the new releases. The other day, me and hubby bought 7 magazines for just a fraction of a cost (if i remember it right, total amount is P365) and the magazines were:

* Playhouse Disney (Aug 2010)- for Matteo
* Car Craft (May 2010)- for Roy
* The Oprah Magazine (Jan 2009)
* Parents (July 2009)
* Cooking Light (March & April 2009)
* Creating Keepsakes (July 2009)

I'm looking for other scrapbooking magazines like Digital Scrapbooking and Memory Makers. Hope I can get them in other Booksale branches. And now, I'm starting to read my magazines and looks like we got a good "buys" :)

Jake Cuenca

I can't believe this! Yes, i'm blogging about Jake Cuenca. I can say he is one of my showbiz crush now and thanks to "Rubi", one of ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida teleserye. I'm so hooked with that show that I even searched for live streams so tI can watched episodes that I missed. I love his character as "Alejandro", the very handsome-looking doctor whose very loyal and loving to his family and to his partner, Rubi and now, Maribelle. I'm really drawn to him because of his character; he's the type you want to have as a boyfriend and a husband material. That explains why I dreamed of him a couple of days back hehehe...

The show will end in three weeks time and I promise not to miss an episode. I want to know if he'll be true to his promise to Maribelle that he would marry her. I want to know result of Rubi's "paghihiganti" to Sylvana and what her relationship to Hector will end up. From the trailer, it looks like Alejandro will fall for Rubi again and I'm not in favor of that! I'm for Alejandro-Maribelle and I hope the ending will be favorable to them :) Let's wait and see.

Enough of it. Back to reality :)
