All The Best For The Best!

December is such a busy month, in our family, we are celebrating not only Christmas but also our wedding anniversary, and my hubby's birthday (tomorrow :))

So without further adieu...:)

Happy birthday to my dear Mr. :* May all your dreams come true (well, at least 99%, if not all :))
More blessings to enjoy and be thankful for...
You're such a blessing to us (in disguise?:)) We love you very much! ~ Mommy, Angel, and Joie


Happy December, everyone! =)

Christmas 2011



Christmas time once again.  A time for sharing, partying, baking, eating, shopping, praying, etc…

Heavy traffic everywhere (sigh!).  Good thing, Rustan’s Gateway is just a stone’s throw away from us J Uncomplicated shopping can be done in a snap! No long lines even during weekends and presentable gift wrappings for free, real value for time and money J


BIG gift for the BIG girl :)
For my kids’ Christmas party potluck, I baked chocolate cupcakes in cream cheese frosting
sprinkled w/ red crystallized sugar, yum!
happy schoolboy (bakasyon na!:))
 Kids’ school Christmas presentation

Tired...but t'is the season to be jolly! :)
Merry Christmas, everyone! Happy new year ahead!

Milk Tea by Chatime

I'm a big fan of milk tea, well, not really a big one, a medium fan at least :) But of all the milk tea stores, Chatime is the best for me (as of this writing); tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week or month, there might be another new milk tea store around the corner of every corner, hehe...As I have noticed recently, business of this kind have been sprouting and branching every now and then. So, take your time, Chatime! :)
I like your Taro Pudding, Matcha Mousse, & Roasted Grass Jelly all in 30% sugar content and less ice :) Yum!

Acca Kappa Comb

It's been more than 2 weeks since I lost my Hua Mulan comb (http://whimsicalfrills.blogspot.com/2010/10/treats.html?m=1). That means I'm almost not combing my hair during that span of time, hehe...Well, I survived! Now I have a replacement, leveled up to Acca Kappa brand. Thanks and merry Christmas to my generous Mr. :)

Inuyasha Angelus



Esther and my daughter Angel singing Inuyasha Angelus during 9’s/10’s homeroom potluck in school. Bravo!

I wonder if I can learn it by heart, see lyrics below J

Inuyasha~ANGELUS

dareka no tame nagasu NAMIDA

Vodka Mudshake ~ Caramel

In my attempt to appreciate the savour of alcohol; a girly drink for a newbie—




A decent start for the inexperienced. Almost unnoticeable taste of the 4% alcohol content; only the sugariness of caramel flavor - caramel mudshake, it is ~ so keep away from children J

Speaking of alcohol, I remember it’s my father’s birthday today. Happy birthday, ‘dy, I love you! I’m sure you’re having a party with your angel, San Miguel (Rest in peace!) J

iPad2 + Kindle3 = 2Thumbs Up

Hello.  It’s nice to be back (again!)

It’s been awhile since I’m hooked with these 2 inventions, one of the reasons of my inefficiency J Oh, how I really appreciate technologies! Gone were the days of frequent bookstore visits…the excitement of tearing away the thin plastic covering of a newly owned book, the intoxicating smell of it and the feel as you turn its pages for the very first time…Nevertheless, I do not feel any deficiency with those senses, having iPad2 and Kindle is much more euphoric, than having tons of traditional paperbacks and hardbound books in shelves that I cannot carry anywhere I go (my practical view on acquiring Kindle3). Some might still be into reading the traditional ones.


My Amazon Kindle3
with built-in Wi-Fi
6" display
1/3" thick
weigh 8.5 ounces
can store up to 3500 books and documents
can play MP3
read up to 1 month w/o recharging
For detailed specs: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HFS6Z0/ref=kin3_ddp_alsoavail_kinw_kinwso

with iPad2
My first iPad
Almost same specs with the previous iPad, notable difference is that the processor of iPad2 can run as double than that in the previous one, there is also a camera, and Facetime application.
Full specs here: http://www.apple.com/ipad/
Physically, they are almost the same, though iPad2 is thinner and lighter.

Wonderful!

The Big Little Store

One blistering summer afternoon, we went on searching what to eat for early dinner to escape from our usual breakfast/dinner ones, which includes these selections: :)






 Fresh juices from fruits and vegetables


Gluttony as it may seem, we headed our way to The Big Little Store in Gilmore --





Picole, Yugo Mango, 37
 One good way to tame the hotness of the day :) 
Angel w/ Yugo Blueberry Cheesecake, 37
 
We also bought organic eggs, 280/tray (30pcs)

For takeout, these are what we've got :

Wonton Noodle Soup, 100
  
Kikiam, 45


Lumpia, 75


 Yummiest at its finest! :)

Piknik Containers

 Piknik containers, dressed! :)

Reusing instead of shopping. My motto at this very moment, LOL! (this motto is subject to change without prior notice :))
Dressing these containers have saved me from boredom this lazy summer afternoon, at least for awhile :)

Hmmm... I think my motto changed already, the other way around :) Bye for now!
