More birthday people on March 01

How do you celebrate your birthday if you were born on the 29th of February? Feb 28? March 01?

If I am one of those people, I would celebrate it on the 1st of March. This means that March 01 has 1.25 more birthdays than any other day (or is it 2x more)?

Just a silly post. Just want to have a post for a date that only comes every 4 years. Cheers!

Musings: Time, Energy and Money

When you’re young, you’ve got all the time and all the energy to enjoy life, but no money.

When you’re in your middle years, you’ve got all the money and all the energy, but no time.

And when you’re retired, you’ve got all the money and all the time, but no energy.

So true... in my case.

Blessings 2011

(Should have been posted at the start of this year)

We greeted 2011 with joy, a healthy baby girl. Her developments have been outstanding: babbling, standing (from seating position, even bending), and walking. Though we worry for her hair but hopefully it would grow, uhm more strands. She would get excited when she sees us and she would shout with such force when things don't go her way - our little baby tiger girl.

More attention has been given to our son during this year but it has resulted in favourable outcome. It has been one of the situation that has defined our parenting, one of the situations that has given us meaning to parenthood. I thank Him for blessing us with this child (of course with my youngest as well). Such a playful and loving child, full of curiosity and wisdom - our little toddler rat boy.

My husband who expands vertically with his love and patience, thank you. Though there has been issues external to us that have tested our marriage, you have remained sound and forgiving. Oh this is the year as well wherein we got good and sound financial advise and acted on it. It is a contented feeling that we are covered that whatever happened to any of us (God forbid), our children are protected and shielded. Wishing us a nice investment returns as well in order for us to retire at 45 (wishful thinking, hahaha).

To our family and friends, thank you and we always pray safety and good health, for all of us.

Happy New Year and may year 2012 (yipee, Year of the Dragon - my year and my hubby as well) bring us more blessings.


Cheers!

A bedtime scene

"I want to sleep with mama, I want to sleep with mama, I want to sleep with Mammaaahh"

"Nanana, nana, nanana, nananah"

Here I am sitting down on the bed, my half back leaning against the headboard. My right arm, carrying my baby girl and my left arm being hugged by my boy.

Will not have it any other way... until body aches strike and need to lie all of us down, slowly.
Woohoo, kids are now asleep and now I can surf sleep.

Good Night! I love you! See you tomorrow! Sweet Dreams!

Arming myself

Yes, I have been busy, this is the reason why I have not put any posts for a while. No, I am not busy with work, I am actually busy reading blogs :)

I find the blogs created by Filipinos more engaging. I read them to be informed, to be entertained and to arm myself when I go home and shop (of course, to be with family/friends as well). Shop for clothes, shoes and food... and other knick-knacks.

Through my stalkingreading, I got to learn about chicify, suelas, Toms, Maxi skirt, recommended spa/mane/nail services et.al. I am so excited just planning my short vacation-stint on April (3d2n). I even want to order online now so I have more time to spare with family and friends. I want to go to all the weekend market (though only 2 since it's just 1 weekend, boo-hoo)

Wishing for a mallwide, midnight, further markdown, 3-day sale when I do get home.

Now off to to arm myself with more shopping finds.

Hello Kitty Galore

I saw these inside Takashimaya, Harrods section and they are so cute. Had to contemplate if I should buy it/them. Such temptation. I... need... to... control... myself... Whew!








British + Hello Kitty + letter 'H' = damn good combination. I should have bought them. Tsk tsk
