Red Ribbon Chocolate Dedication Cake Giveaway
Wednesday, September 10, 2014Today's been a blast if you would ask me because it's my son's 11th birthday. He didn't go to school earlier because he was...
I know he's supposed to rest today, but it's his BIRTHDAY!!! :)
We started celebrating as early as breakfast. We had lunch at his requested restaurant then watched a movie too. After that, we went to another mall for some fun at an amusement center. Before dinner came, I secretly sneaked out to go to a Red Ribbon Bakeshop to get a Chocolate Dedication Cake for Dandre. After dinner, I asked the restaurant staff to bring the cake to our table and surprise him with his cake and a their group birthday song! I succeeded! I really thought I couldn't surprise him anymore.
Did you know that you can now go beyond the usual "Happy Birthday" cake greeting with Red Ribbon? Yes! It's more personalized and more heartfelt by your loved one. That's exactly what I did.
Here's my unique birthday message on the 8x8 Chocolate Dedication Cake for my dear son:
Happy 11th Birthday Dandre Lucas!
Wednesday, September 10, 2014Happy birthday to my first-born Dandre Lucas! When you were born 11 years ago at 9.2lbs through normal delivery, I was born too. You ...
Practical Fashion is BACK! Kids Edition
Monday, September 08, 2014Hello hello loves! My Practical Fashion blog feature is back! It has been on hiatus for quite some time. I used to feature my #OOTDs but ...
Now it's back and I'm doing this feature with my sons! Sure it's still cuter and prettier to dress up a little girl like a doll, but I've been blessed not by daughters but two amazingly handsome boys, the most handsome boys around the metro, in my opinion as their mother of course! :)
Presenting the revived Practical Fashion, Kids Edition!
My Quick Trips To Cebu and Boracay
Sunday, September 07, 2014When I said last August that I already miss travelling and I wish to travel soon, I remember not wishing it to happen immediately and freque...
My first assignment was in Cebu. Whenever I go to this lovely city, I usually stay overnight and make sure I pass by the following places: Sto. Nino Basilica, La Vie Perisienne, Zubuchon and Taboan too. But last week, I didn't because I decided to just fly in and out so I could go home to my family quickly. Ginawang parang Quiapo lang ang Cebu right?
My Cebu trip won't be complete without devouring a lechon! |

I'm happy I was finally able to use the The SPA gift certificates I received last Mother's Day. I know, I know.. what took me that long to use it right? June and July came as two of the saddest and busiest this year. I wrote about that HERE.
Domesticated Long Weekend
Tuesday, August 26, 2014Wow! That long weekend went by so fast I must say. While most of my colleagues used the long weekend for an out-of-town or out-of-the-coun...
We didn't plan a trip because we're saving up for the boys' birthday party next month. But I spent the weekend productively and happily by being domesticated. I must admit, since I am a full-time working momma, I only cook breakfasts daily and whole-day meal during weekends and only get to clean the whole second floor every three days, how I wish I could do it everyday.
This long weekend was spent pamamalengke (as in the wet market, usually the helper does that), cooking, eating, playing with kids and semi-general cleaning: decluttering and re-arranging our living space. I tell you, general-cleaning is very therapeutic and liberating to do so. I got rid of things we no longer need and could even be considered trash which we've been keeping for so long. I was only able to do this chore in our living room/area and I'm planning to do so in the other parts of the house soon.
Let me show you my domesticated side (yes I have! haha!) I happily cooked for the family and even the hardworking Daddy Practicality also cooked for us:

But where will you get quality merchandise at a low price? Of course during mall SALEs! That's why I take advantage of this and make sure I saved up for it. Hence, shopping is just a semi-guilty pleasure for me because I don't really splurge without thinking or planning. Recently SM City Sta. Mesa had its 3-Day SM Store Sale.
