Mommy Moments-Special trip

Yey, its friday already... still busy in the office but I would not want to miss any of the meme's I joined...

For this weeks theme it's special trips. My bea's most memorable trip was her first trip to the Philippines it was on Dec. 2007, we only stayed for one week because that was the only allowed leave I was given. It is the most memorable trip for my bea since it would be the first time she would be riding on an airplane and it is also her first ever meeting with my father, my sister and my niece plus all of our relatives from my side. At that time she was the newest member of our family and every one was very happy to see her.

We didnt get to see my husbands relatives due to the time constraints, but we plan to do so by next year maybe by january or february.

Here are some of the pictures of my bea on that trip.

First plane ride... She was so well behaved that she didnt cry during our trip...

My father, he was so happy to finally see bea for the first time, when we already went home to Saipan, he told me that when he came home in an empty house he cant help himself but to cry and miss seeing my daughters smile every time he walks in our room.

My father's princesses', this is my niece, my first baby... she is now 7 yrs. old and a very smart girl too.

Picture perfect =).... I just love this picture, their very happy =)..

Girl's Talk-Fave Perfume

Its thursday already? =) Time really flies before we know it would be Year 2010 already whew \(^o^)/. I am busy as a bee in the office, I hate tax seasons =(, but I cannot miss niko's meme plus I love talking all girly.

Anyway this week's theme is our favorite perfumes. I really prefer mild scent perfumes and I dont want oil based since the scent last for a long time. I get dizzy when I smell someone who put more than the required amount of perfume.

This is a gift from my hubby for our wedding anniversary last year, I am so picky with regards to perfume that he had a hard time buying me a present. LOL. I loved the smell plus it came with a purple pouch bag and a body lotion ( which my mother asked me to give her).
This is my ultimate favorite, it is also the only perfume I can tolerate smelling when I was pregnant. It's scent is very light and refreshing plus I also like drinking green tea hahahhahahha not that I am drinking this perfume LOL.

How about you share us what's your fave perfume and join us every thursday on girl's talk.

Who says we can't have fun when there's typhoon?

This video was taken last saturday night when we were expecting Typhoon Melor to hit our tiny island. Luckily we still have power and cable ( we can't watch anything on TV if we dont have cable =( ).

My hubby was watchign news on his TV while bea was watching one of her Barney tape on her portable dvd player. She loved Barney's song so much, whenever she hears songs from Barney she would sing along and even dance, just like in the video... luckily daddy was also in the mood to dance to the tune of Barney =) aren't they cute?

P.S. to all those who commented on my previous blog, thank you so much.... I appreciated it. I am just so busy now in the office ( quarterly tax filings are due this month and i had so much on my hand right now, but i still manage to check my blog and post one entry =) ). I promise to visit al of your blogs as soon as i free up my hands.... Thanks again.....

PB Weekend-Typhoon Melor =)

It's another week of pixel bug and I must say our weekend was wet, wet and wet. Friday last week the Governor has declared Tyhpoon Conditon II ( unlike in the philipines the strongest typhoon signal here is I which is vice versa in the philippines). Lunch time I went grocery shopping to buy essential stuff such as noodles, canned goods, candles and bea's snacks ( those belong to the list of essential things LOL). The line at the grocery store was very long it took me about 20-30 minutes to get done. I got to go home early that day to prepare our house for SUPER TYPHOON MELOR. I picked up bea from daycare and headed home.

The expected SUPER TYPHOON was supposed to hit our location late friday night and early saturday. We were expecting for the worst since it has been so long that we had any typhoon hit our location. Needless to say we thought of waking up with damaging winds and heavy down pour, but we woke up with just a slight gusts of wind and a little more than our usual rain but the sky was dark. Thank God the typhoon missed our tiny islands again but I wish it would also miss the Philippines.

Anyway, we still make the most from our weekend, bea and I stayed home and waited for my hubby to finish his work at 1 pm. I cooked BULALO just in time for the cold weather... yumm =)



Wouldnt my daughter's smiel brighter even your darkest day?

Lunch with my princess.... she loved it and ate a lot..

Perfect for the cold wet weather.

The weather outside.... rainy and windy..

The dark sky above.

Good thing we were able to go to church the next day and still have our bonding time.

How about you how was your weekend. Share with us at Pixel Bug weekend.

Mommy Moment's-Music and Me

Here is a video of bea, one saturday morning, she keeps on dancing and singing this song over and over again.... I dont know what she was singing but she keeps on repeating it over and over again =).

Even at a young age whenever bea would here somebody singing she would start humming ang start singing, the words are not clear but she keeps up with the tune =). Since we live in a small community I have encountered a lot of peopel who recognizes bea as the kid who is singing at church they would say " Yan ung baby n kumakanta dun s church: ( that's the baby who is singing in the church) sometimes she would really sing along so loud that the people around us cant help themselves but to look at her and smile.

How about you? Share with us your stories about your kid every friday.

Girl's talk- MY FAVORITE BAG =)

For this weeks theme on Girl's Talk, its my favorite bag. I have loved bags eversince I can remember, the more I have the happier I am LOL. In college, I could only afford the one that is being sold in flea markets or if I saved up for it I can buy the one sold in the department stores =), before I left the Philippines to come here and work I must have left around 15 or more bags to hand down to my sister and my cousins ( we are mostly girls in our clan ).

My husband doesnt understand why I have to buy different kinds of bags to him it is all the same. I still do save for the bag that I want to buy, what I do is to go to DFS to check the bags they are selling then go home and check ebay ( smart huh?) you will be amazed on how much cheaper it is to buy in ebay than in retail stores. I don't mind buying previoulsy owned bag, its just like buying it from the "ukay-ukay" which is very famous in Baguio City, where I came from.

Last night, I went thru my closet to check my favorite bags LOL... and I didnt notice I have a lot already, so I told myself for this year no more buying for me. Ill just save my extra money for my hubby's 2nd wish list- blu ray player ( the wish list never stops LOL) and I am planning to buy bea a complete baby set the one with pretend crib, stroller, car seat and swing for her baby dolls, she's into that lately.

So here are my fave, bags It used to be more but i already sent the others to my sister back home. Can you see I am not really into bags HAHAHHAHA.

Picture 1- *the white one is coach which I sometimes use as a diaper bag, t*he black one is from Maxx New York ( i gave my sister a white one -she's a nurse), *the colorful one is from Lesport sac, its a bday gift from my hubby 3 yrs. ago, * the brown one is also from coach, its my gift to myself for my birthday last year, * the orange one is from Gap-would you believe that the seller is mystica ( a singer from the Phils. who always splits on stage LOL), * the brown one ismy hubby's gift just for nothing (aww) it is from Dooney & Bourke.
Pic 2: these are all from Ralph Lauren , the balck and white plaid I also use as a diaper bag when where going out, I think I bought these a couple of years back and I just paid less than $30 for all.

These are my favorite bags of all, I can't afford buying Hermes, LV or channel even on ebay so I just settled for COACH ( you can find great deals with this brand on ebay).

The Big Black bag is my favorite from this collection, coz it is so big I can put a lot inside, even bea's sippy cup, snacks and even extra clothes and toys. My latest purchase is the black and gray cross body bag, I have seen one smaller like this in DFS and it cost $248 and I only purchased it on ebay for less than $50.

As you can see I am not really into bags LOL.

How about you share with us your favorite bag. Join us on girl's talk every thursday.
