Zooming In...

   I took this shot from a fireworks display of a nearby mall. There was a long program before  that which features so-so artists. Some of the kiddos we had with us were already sleepy, when they began,it was  worth the wait.

     A mall near us has an Eng Bee Tin stall and it's a good thing cuz I don't have to travel to Manila to satisfy my hopia cravings :)

  Went to the Block today with my sister and our kiddos to view the Lego exhibit. I had a lot of favorites but I'm feeling nationalistic today so I decided to post Luneta for my photo of the day :)

    It's almost the end of the year and I decided to organize all my billing statements and ORs. I always make it a point to do a general cleaning of the house before the year ends, i guess just to make fresh start for 2012 :)

   Mia was given an electric toothbrush by her ninang who is a dentist. We were laughing at first kasi she got scared when she turned it on.Then sa huli natuwa na rin siya and wouldn't stop. I guess I'll stock up on more batteries cuz I know it will be easily drained.

           We were able to watch Disney on Ice at the Araneta Coliseum today, We were 9 in all and we had so much fun kasi sobrang dami ng characters  this time like the Princesses and their partners, from Toy Story, Lilo and Stitch, Alice in Wonderland and from other Disney movies. This scene was the finale part na and of course Mickey and Minnie will always be the Stars of the show.  

   These were gifts we received that were wrapped from three different department stores . I liked it that they are coming up with more unique designs. Dati kasi sobrang boring yung mga designs, maybe because they wrapped your gifts for free kaya tinitipid nila yung wrapping paper nila.     

   A friend who visited China gave me this cute panda design key chain and a pair of chopsticks with a Great wall design, thanks Zaida :)

  Bought these Mcdo danglers, sayang out of stock si Bigmac.  They are too big to be a cellphone charm and I can't find any use for them. For now, they are just hanging in my xmas tree :D

 Who would have thought this would be so cheap,  I love the print design...girl na girl :D 

  My daughter's elementary annual finally arrived after 2 years. It was very simply made , adhering to Benedictine values of simplicity and frugality. 

  My 3 girlfriends together with our kids went to Enchanted Kingdom today.It was raining in the morning but the kiddos had the time of their lives enjoying the different rides. The weather improved by the afternoon and a lot more people arrived. We stayed till 6pm...bone weary yet in high spirits.Pwede na ring pang christmas lights na theme hahaha!

   I love the aroma of onion and garlic being sauteed. Pero with the times I was pregnant with my kids, I hated it. Talagang bumabaliktad ang sikmura ko. I guess this is normal for most pregnant mothers out there. Pero right now, I'm savoring it...weird ko talaga minsan hahaha!!

     I'm almost halfway through with my gift wrapping of presents...just hoping Mia wouldn't mess them up.

    One of the reasons to smile about on waking up early. Feeling the cool breeze in your cheek while holding a cup of hot coffee ..... waiting for Mr. Sun to come up :)

    Tried this today, vanilla with butterscotch dip and cookies and cream topping....so sulit for 25 pesos!!! 

   With the sun finally peeking , I have to finish up my mountain loads of laundry  today. We have very limited space for the clothes line kaya I have to take full advantage of the sun so they can dry up quickly.

    Finally tried Cebu Lechon, I guess it's ok for me. 

    This kept me busy today, I have finally decided to tackle on wrapping my xmas gifts today. I'm not really a good wrapper, heck I can't even make a simple paper bag :D

    Too lazy to cook today, we just ordered in at KFC. This was the only decent pic I had, my kiddos attacked on the  bucket as soon as it arrived :)

      As soon as Ira came home from camp, she brought with her 2 plastic bags filled with mud stained clothes and her sleeping bag. No choice but I have to make babad right away cuz some of them she wore nung Monday pa. Some of her socks I threw away na because I have no patience to make them white again, LOL

    This is what we had for breakfast today- Yum!!!

   Ira is off to camp for 3 days and 2 nights.  This is her bed and I'm sure gonna miss my trusty dishwasher :)

   My mommy gave me my old baby book, holy communion and confrmation certificates. Good  thing they are still ok up to now  cuz' they somehow remind you  of your childhood. 

     My latest find, The Laughing Cow cheese dip. It's colored white not like the usual yellow in other dips.It can also be used as a cheese spread but have yet to try it. What I like about it is hindi ito nakakaumay and malaki ang size niya kaya madami chips pwede  :)

   I forgot to put the iron setting to low and this is what happened to Ira's school blouse. Worse, she has to wear it today since her other blouses are already in the wash, buti na lang she didn't mind at all..

   My one wish for Christmas is to get a hold of a copy of The Script's Homecoming DVD set. I wasn't able to watch them live when they were here last April so it's just a little consolation for me to have this.I have no idea if this is available here. So far it is available only in Amazon on pre order......  

    Bought these cute sandals wherein you can make different styles by adding straps. Little did I know it was so hard pala to create them  kasi hindi ganun kadali ikabit sa gilid  yung mga straps plus yung mga lengths pa is alanganin. Here is the only thing I made haha!!! Will experiment more soon...

   My sister gave Mia this Jollibee  stool which she got as a giveaway when she attended a recent bday party. Isn't it cute? Frankly mas gusto ko mga  giveaways ng Mcdonald's over Jollibee but at least this one is a big improvement :)
