Josh' First School Christmas Party

It's Josh Christmas Party in school and we were notified by school that no parents are allowed to accompany their kids on the party, if stage mothers (lol) insisted to be there at the party they just have to be at the school gate. With this notice I finally surrendered to my idea of coming to his party and informed the office that I will not be on leave today. Still I fixed Josh gifts and things murmuring to myself that we should be allowed to go with them though I praise the teachers for their decision because sometimes parents are overdoing things and the school grounds would just be full of doting parents. Kids will learn how to be independent. Since I still have enough time I dressed my little prince to be sure he'll look good. I left the house feeling good that I saw how my kid looked in his polo and slacks. Cute little boy(trust Mommy to always say that to their babies lol!) he always want to be groomed like that.

St. Audry's Christmas Program

I was getting rushed as our service vehicle for school was late again. He's always like that on a Monday just like me having Monday sickness lol! I filed my leave so I can be with Josh, school directress and teachers invited parents to be with their kids for us to see the students' variety of presentation. All students wear red just like S.Claus costume. I asked if we can skipped wearing the costume but my teacher friend Janet suggested that we'll just wear it there during the program. Costume was made by my friend Annie Z. who's always there to help me out with my three kids' costume everytime the need arises. Anyway there's a lot of presentation but what I liked most is the presentation of the birth of Jesus Christ - the real reason for this season. Small kids were made to look like Mary, Joseph, angels, three Kings and shepherd. Glad they all behaved :-)

They Love Ice Cream

Here comes mamang sorbetero again ringing his bells on my kids, they love ice cream so much their ears are always waiting for the ice cream man's bells. My kids took after my cravings for ice cream, everywhere we go usually in mall supermarkets they always look for the ice cream booth that sells scoops of ice cream. It's always a part of their eating habits. Be it on the can, on the glass or on the cone, ice cream is always the best. You can see here picture of them eating ice cream in the mall.

My Father's Birthday

It's my father birthday today but since he's passed away already I just offered him a prayer. Oh how I loved my father when he's still here, I was the family's DADDY's girl because I was the one who resembled him the most especially my looks. Neighbours used to call me Girl Junior lol! He's like a jack-of-all trade in his job, skills and talents. He's an architect and engineer of our big house, a lawyer by studies, a government servant in occupation and profession - he served our town as municipal secretary for twenty years with a clean record, a businessman, a tailor, a speech writer (that's where I got my flair for writing), has talent in music and a very lovable husband and father.

Because Tatay as I fondly called him was a very responsible and understanding husband I had difficulty in finding a man like him. I just can't be attracted to a person who has looks but don't have depth or sense. I didn't looked or search for a man similar to him but the Lord find and gave me a man of God to be my partner for life. That's my blessing for LIFE.

What Your Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Means

Oh I really love sandwiches that's why I was interested to do this quiz and may be see for myself if it's true! Some were true, a few not so very true lol! Fun doing this! Try these friends!

What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means

Your eating style is reserved. You are a bit of a fussy eater, and you have very specific ways you like your food prepared. You have an average sweet tooth. While you enjoy desserts, they aren't exactly your downfall. Your taste in food tends to be quite eclectic and wide. You are an adventurous eater, and you like many types of cuisines. Admit it, you're a little trashy and low class at times. You're definitely more comfortable at a tattoo parlor than the theater. You never really grew up. While your childlike innocence is charming, you often just come across as a big baby. Precise and controlled, you can be a bit anal retentive when it comes to how you like things. You're definitely a perfectionist.

Mom Rosing's Birthday!

It's Mom's Rosing birthday, my very nice and understanding mother-in-law whose like a mother to me also. A sweet granny to my kids, a very lovable mother to Ed and his siblings and a sweet mom-in-law to me. What more ca you ask for? I was truly blessed by our Lord in giving me such a nice and honest person for a biyenan. Others are having a hard time pleasing the mothers of their husband, doing everything just to please them but still some of them can't win the hearts of their husband's mothers.

We had pancit by Joeys to celebrate her birthday and for her 'long life' as always heard by Filipinos. Have given her a very formal and special peach blouse for her to wear on special occasions. She's a very simple woman and whatever I gave her she always treasures. A very appreciative woman also. My eldest daughter Ruth got her looks, they're like half apples lol! Pretty and bedimpled! All of my kids have dimples and they got it from her, strong blood!! I wish that she'll be happy always!

Bonifacio Day and Founding Anniversary

November and December 1 are our town's founding anniversary and town fiesta celebrated together with Bonifacio Day. Festive day for our town, celebrated with programs and parades all over the town. Yesterday was quite a long parade of townfolks, establishments, government and non-government organizations. The parade took about 2 hours, i think. I was quite amazed at the young motorists who showed some exhibitions yesterday, really young as they're around 4-5 years old only! have included some shots here! Well, got lots of pictures in my other blog Race Corner too!

Lunch Meeting at Tender Bob's

Been out of the office for nearly four hours as we've had lunch meeting with one of the country's major telcos. Had some lunch in my boss' steak restaurant in Shangri-la Mall. Tender Bob's steak is really good, I've tasted many of their steak menus and i find it superb in taste :-) I've read and gone through their different menus now including their chicken, salads, pasta and burgers, yes burgers and fries in a steak house! Actually i love their rendition of Potato Skin they should be awarded with the trophy of recycling waste di ba! We just throw potato skins in the bin, little did we know that it can be a blockbuster pika pika especially if dipped in a very special dipping sauce. You'll love also their very tender chicken and Saba Fritters. I've jotted them all in my mind because I'm planning to treat my bes JennyL there. If you've read about my post on her birthday you'll notice there that she's craving for steaks so I'll just bring her to my sir Bob's steak house to patronize my boss' business :-).

<= That's my order -US Angus Ribeye Steak

Earthquake in the City

Earthquake rocked Metropolis again but with a slight intensity this time. I was informed by my friends in our office that a slight tremor was felt while we were having our lunch break. I was a bit late in eating my lunch so I didn't really noticed it. So full of things to do in my list that even an earthquake wasn't able to penetrate my busy mind lol! Anyway earthquakes were really expected in areas in the Pacific because the Philippine archipelago is in the Pacific' Ring of Fire'. To set up the record it was only Intensity #2 here in Quezon City, 3 in Manila and I heard 6 in Baguio City, I heard an earlier report that it was only 4.2 there but a friend running a business in Baguio City informed me through text that indeed it was an Intensity 6. Glad my sister's Planning Seminar was held there last Friday up to Sunday, whew! just 3 days difference! God is really good! ALL THE TIME!
