P365-MMX:0314: Any Lucky Penny.

I just had to take a photo of these beautiful purple flowers in between checking this site: www.hairgrowthshampoos.net.

WHY? Because today is a beautiful err lucky day.
Yes, March 14, 2010 brought another affirmative news to our family. Thank you Lord for this blessing, you never cease to amaze us. Truly, another prayer answered. Keep believing in miracles because it happens.

salamat bro!

P365-MMX:0218: Pizza Overload.

A day after Ash Wednesday, the first meat-less day of Lent, we ordered pizza online, yes, we missed meat that quick :). It was a perfect match with our Pasta dish that day and it made my office furniture research and hunt so much easier. Eating while thinking are really one of the terrific tandems in life.

Sometimes, it's okay to forget your diet once in a while. So even if I count my calorie-intake religiously, I decided to disregard the number of calories this greasy and meat-packed pizza has. NOM NOM!

P365-MMX:0211: Biyernes.

Since we do not have anyone to leave mini-Stripe with, except for occasional Parents' night at MyGym, we make sure that Stripe and I allot one day a week for just the two of us. Yes, Fridays are meant for home-dates, beers, chips, movie marathon and catching up with the hectic week that was. Mini-Stripe has been consistently sleeping at 8ish or 9ish, and so we have at least 4-5 hours of weekly dates :P. Also, Fridays are meant for Stripe to enhance his toy and by that, I meant his car. This time he was very busy looking for wood dash kits at CARID.com. Yea, boys and they car :P.

P365-MMX:0105: Greens.

I find the State I am in very picturesque and lovely, my mom thinks otherwise. She finds it depressing hee hee! She used to live in the province where trees are everywhere, that explains.

I can go on and on raving about how lovely this State I belong to is but I need to research on eczema for now.

PS: I'm happy that I am updated with my Project 365, though posting here maybe a little late :).

Reality Bites.

We're back to reality and my homesickness level is extremely elevated. The flight back home was so sad, I could not help but cry. Thanks to Stripe's shoulders. I thought I am so over this stage already but like they always say, no one ever really get passed Homesickness, you just get used to it in time.

Anyways, I have a lot of photos to share but I have so many things in my hand right now that I needed to attend to such as looking for a replacement for our contemporary sofas. As soon as I have things organized, I will share them to you. In the meantime, have a good weekend y'all! We're off to the beach. Stripe wants to bring me and mini-S to a fun place so we could take off our minds from missing my folks.

A Fresh Start.

Wow, this officially marks my 1st post on Day 3 of the 2nd decade in the 2nd millenium.

2010 also marks my 6th year in blogging and to be honest, I am not so sure if I can still sustain blogging for the rest of the year. I am starting to be very VERY delinquent in blogging, so let's see how far I will go this year, blogging-wise. There are far more plans I have in mind like looking for full-time job :). I am ready and I am excited to go back to the workforce, so job search engines such as this site that offers the best jobs in philly are something I frequent these days.

How was your New Year's? Ours was composed of lotsa fun, funny convo, silly jumps and food binging :). I will share a few photos in a wee bit but for the meantime, let me share this prayer with you. I wish all of us a blessed and peaceful 2010.

May today there be peace within.
May you trust your highest power
that you are exactly where
you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite
possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing
you are a child of God
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing,
dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of you.
— St. Thérèse of Lisieux

the countdown begins.

We saw this huge Christmas countdown structure as we were checking on some equestrian apparel for a niece. I can't believe it's almost Christmas and that we only have barely 3 weeks to go before 2010. My Christmas list this year is the shortest ever, mostly kids so by next week, we'll be done with our shopping. Traffic is starting to pile up and the lines at the cashiers are starting to get longer by the day. I am so excited for this year's Christmas, it's gonna be one of the most memorable :).

Enjoy the holidays everyone!

to you and yours

How is everybody's thanksgiving weekend going along?

We had a wonderful time and my first time to camp out at BestBuy. It was truly an experience of a lifetime hee hee. I'm still crunch with time at the moment because of a Sunday Thanksgiving get-together but I realized I haven't dropped you all a Thanksgiving greeting so here's wishing you all the Blessings you want and dream to come this Thanksgiving 09. We hope to spend next year's Thanksgiving out of town, orlando vacations perhaps?!

Have a good week ahead y'all!

he loves picking up flowers for mama

Stripe is no doubt a very romantic husband, sometimes mushy I may say hee hee. He's the kind of husband who never gets tired giving me flowers or sometimes plant hahah! (like what he did last Valentines.) So I never wonder where mini-Stripe got his training, he just loves picking flowers for me :).

What's nice about having my folks around is the fact that Stripe and I can go out on errands while leaving mini-S at home. One time, we went out to check some truck accessories and this is what I saw in the passenger's seat. The little boy's surprise, definitely, he loves picking flowers for mama.

day one.

My mom's dishes are irresistible you would easily forget about your weight. It has only been a month since they stayed with us and the lbs that Stripe and I gained are just overwhelmingly alarming hee hee. So today, we had to wake up an hour earlier and braved the chilly Autumn morning for a brisk walking :). Instead of buying a new fitness equipment, we opted to indulge in the basic and enjoy the nature as well. We vowed to do this 4x a week. It will also double as our bonding time aka rare dates.
