Since we’ve got kids,we find  it difficult to go out on a date coz there’s no one who can watch the kids while we go. I hope this coming anniversary, we can plan it well and let either one of hubby’s parents take care of the little ones. Then I’d get him a special gift by looking up for anniversary gift ideas online so I don’t have to wrack my head thinking for a nice present for the hubby. Oh well, I just hope it will be a memorable this time, not just another day overshadowed by childcare and house chores!

I have some baby care videos that I want to share with her. It would be nice if my girlfriends and I can set up a date to visit her, and even arrange a baby shower and make baby shower invitations for her. I’m sure she will really appreciate such thought especially that she probably is missing some girl bonding.  She lives quite far though, and with everybody’s schedule  being so difficult to synchronize, it will be tricky to plan a date for a visit.

These kinds of news and also personal news about family and friends are brought to me by Facebook.

It’s sometimes difficult to go around shopping in malls and department stores, trying to find things that fit the person to whom we give a certain gift, with the thought of choosing something to please them. But there is one person who does not require us to stay long at the men’s clothing department to choose what to give him, as he is not fussy about what he wears, and he’s my dad. Surely, he’s not hard to please! Anyway, if he does not like what we buy for him, he just will not wear it; there’s no complaining, you don’t hear a word, hehehe

This love for singing has brought many of our countrymen to fame. Take for example Charice Pempengco, or Arnel Pineda. Having grown into a society that has a strong attachment to music has influenced them for sure.

The next time you attend a party, and someone gives you the microphone to sing, don’t let the opportunity pass. It is a lot of fun pretending to be your favorite singer, even for that moment only.

Well, she chose the wrong prey! I didn’t have the time to listen what she has to offer. My little daughter was with me and I was even distracting her coz she wanted to go to the toy store. These people should have an eye who to approach. Moms with kids are definitely not good prospects!

We took the kids to the playground last weekend and they had a blast there.  There were slides, swings, a big pirate ship to explore, tunnels to crawl inside, bars to swing their tiny bodies, seesaws that lets them go up and down, stairs to go up and down too and a big ground for running…  There’s also a small food stall that sells gyros and ice cream.  It was a simple weekend treat for them but they really enjoyed it a lot.  See the pictures below!

This one looks like a good ab workout, what do you think?

And this is a useful way of using an old tire.  I want to sit there and sway, sway, swayyyyyy!

I want to be a kid again!

The campers in Finland when we had our summer vacation there 2 years ago.

If you observe Auntie L’s face, it’s so smooth and wrinkle-free but according to her, she doesn’t use any soap, she just washes her face with… water! Yup, that’s right. She’s also including lots and lots of nutrient-rich papaya in her diet. Her favorite hot drink is rice coffee which she prepares herself by roasting rice grains in a pot. Rice coffee is caffeine-free and a healthy alternative to the regular coffee most people consume and it has that native coffee taste.

My auntie is still very much physically active compared to other people her age who already need natural arthritis treatments and other prescribed medications to maintain their health. Keep it up Auntie L!
