Crisna and Lawrence Wedding

Lawrence and Crisna

This is a late post of my niece’ wedding last Dec. 30, 2008. Guess was too busy with the holiday season that it was only now that I found the time to blog this.

Crisna was the eldest daughter of my first cousin Kuya Audy. His mother, sister of my father died after she gave birth to Kuya Audy and my dad and auntie who were both single then took care of my cousin and grew up with us. He’s like a big brother to us especially when my dad suffered stroke when I was in my secondary school. When he got married he built his house inside the clan’s compound making his wife and kids got closer to us.

Kuya Audy and wife Ate Lolet

It’s his first time to see a child of his own get married so I know he’s a bit nervous and even if no one would drive us to the overlooking reception site we made it a point to attend the reception prepared for Crisna and Lawrence. We just hired a taxi going there and though it took us three cabs one driver finally agreed to drive us to Marabella Palace Resort.

It was a cozy and nice resort with wonderful overlooking view of the towns beside Antipolo and metropolis. My kids enjoyed the site and made me took photos of them. I had fun also having some shots of the sky especially when the sun sets down. The wedding turned to a reunion also as we came to see our cousin Adette who also grew up with us and Kuya Audy as she’s the daughter of my Auntie who took care of Kuya Audy. We lost communication for some years now and she’s amazed at how fast my kids grow up. Of course she found Josh very nice and bibo kid also!

Diet Preferences

After all the sumptuous dinner at holiday parties and plenty of get together reunion I gained pounds very fast. It was hard going back to my after six diet which I did last November and early December. I’m trying again now on an every other day schedule and I think that’s good for a start. Maybe next month I can do it everyday or six days a week with Sunday as a holiday for me lol!

It’s one of the best recommended diet for me because at nighttime work and household chores are minimal so I don’t need too much food. I suggested this to my cousin whose a lot bigger than me but she told she’ll be trying diet pills for a quick and easy losing up of unwanted pounds. I think she’s right and for me people really have different preferences.

:WW - All Smiles

Just sharing our family picture in Indang last December. We're all wearing our pretty smiles here as you'll probably notice. We're on our way to conference hall here when my sister took this shot, it was our second day at the camp and we're really happy with the place and our fellowship, not to mention our first night spent at the bonfire before we sleep. Not at all wordless!

Fruit Trees Online

Gen asked me to help her do some sort of pot or animals out of clay. It’s their assignment to bring out some images out of clay but she told me to get materials from our garden. Kids are sometimes like that they just repeat what their teachers told them exactly, no explanation or procedures. Anyway since I can’t do this kind of thing without explanation I just accompanied my daughter in school to talk and ask directly how we’ll possibly comply with the required projects. I was actually right in thinking that I should get clay specifically suited for making pots and I can buy them at nursery plant.

The teacher also told me that there are two choices, we can do the clay or just submit at least three vegetable seeds. I was wondering why they want the children to do this kind of project and before I left the school I learned that there will be some display show of agricultural things. Anyway I chose to submit seeds of bitter gourd, squash and beans. I’m lucky that they have stock of these seeds because I don’t have the time to look for these kinds.

I remember a friend who buys her planting materials and fruit trees online. It’s now available in the net, you can order mature fruit trees and plants like Mulberry trees, grapevines, shrubs and flowering bulbs. Imagine having your trees and plants delivered to your home.

:Today's Flowers #23

Don't you love it's lavender beauty! Well I do! This is simple but very attractive! It's one of the many flowers that you'll get to see when you go to Indang, Cavite in Villa Dominga Forest Resort. It's really nice remembering those three days of stay there at the Villa during the holiday season. We'll also be there on Holy Week for a two-day fellowship camp meeting and we're all excited. Also my kids!

Marketing Strategy

As part of our company’s plan to increase sales in our telecommunications services we’re thinking of advertising and marketing strategy to boost sales using the latest technology available. Since we’re only a small pioneering telco company offering VOIP, prepaid cards, unlimited calling platforms and service contracts we need a lot of marketing plans to introduce our company and to let consumers know how good our services are. We’re thinking of using digital signage to help advertise our company’s portfolio and services. I think it will help a lot to improve and boost profits.

She's 10 now!

My baby girl has turned 10 now and I’m so happy that before her birthday she has fully recovered from her sickness. She’s been sick for four days last week and I was glad that now her appetite has returned, now she’s excited with her favorite pasta and cake. I planned to cook macaroons and leche flan but due to lack of time I think I’ll just cook it tomorrow. Why? Because it’s Gen’s favorite also- she’s a leche flan lover.

Celebration was just a simple one with family around including my big bro’s family of course. Gen was very happy with everything, the food, her cousin guests, her cake and just simply having a birthday I think is a happy thing for her. More of her birthday here!
