Mother's Day

Hi Guys! 

For this year's celebration, we went to Church and had dinner afterwards. Mother's day is one occasion that I look forward to. I usually love any occasion that can make me buy gifts. I love buying gifts. This year though, we weren't able to decide on a gift for my mom. I have decided to buy my mom a gift on her birthday, which is next month. Of course, mother's day won't be complete without a mother's day card. 

Right after Church service, we went to Lamesa Grill for dinner. We went home after that. But for now, here's what we had: 

    Scallops in garlic and butter

    Prawns with lots and lots of garlic! ❤

    Pinatayong Manok

    Banana and Mango Crepe

And here's who I went with:

    My sister, brother and my mom. 

    Me and my better half.❤ 

How did your mother's day go? ☺

Happy Labor Day!

Hi guys!


So today, we are commemorating Labor Day here in the Philippines. Usually, my family goes to the beach to unwind. For this year, I spent it differently. I went to a co-worker's wedding. They had such a nice and light wedding. It was fun. Simple, but no pressure. She's the second one in the office to get married. It was nice to see all her hard work unfold and she looked really happy! For me, joy is contagious. If a person or two have true and sincere joy, you will feel it. I felt it with them. They were just so happy and content.

It is truly amazing to witness a wedding of two people sincerely in-love. The joy and contentment I see in them makes the experience even more meaningful.


How was your labor day?

P.S.

Here are a few photos from the wedding! ❤

Singapore Photo Diary

Hi guys! :)


As promised, here are photos of my Singapore trip last December 2012.

Warning: Photo-heavy! LOL


Play-by-play: On the day of our arrival. And yes, we arrived 2:20 AM! Changi Airport is by far the best airport I have ever seen my entire life! I love it there. You can just sleep on their carpeted floors or hang out in the restroom because it doesn't stink!

For our 2nd day but officially 1st day in Singapore, we wanted to go around Orchard, see the Merlion and the Marina Bay Sands. We met up with a dear friend of mine who's been a permanent resident of Singapore. So glad to finally see her since we only meet up if she comes home to the Philippines, but unfortunately sometimes we don't. So it's a blessing that she lives there and got to hang with us for dinner. :)

Hotel Blues. We didn't avail of the free breakfast so we got ourselves breakfast at a convenience store just outside the hotel. :)

Pre-Christmas Shopping at Takashimaya! :)

Marina Bay Sands as our backdrop.

For our second day, our main goal was to visit Universal Studios! It was the most unforgettable moment in our lives, mine especially. We got to act kids and it did not feel embarrassing at all! LOL

Beautiful morning at Singapore!

I hope you had fun browsing through the photos as much as I did as it brings back memories of that quick trip! Here's to hoping for more travelling this 2013!

Se7en

Today is my 7th year anniversary with my boyfriend/fiancé, PJ. Since I have work and he has a business to take care of, we wanted to just have a quiet time. We wanted to just do the usual dinner and movie date.

We decided to have dinner at my recent favorite Chinese restaurant, Mandarin Tea Garden. My boyfriend is Chinese but doesn't really eat Chinese food but I'm so happy that he liked the food there, plus food is affordable too so double Yay! :)

I know he wanted to somehow watch a movie but I was hesitant and I had desserts instead at Maridel's and we get to talk about things, mostly random things. We took a stroll on Plazuela before going back to the mall.

Our "date" as I will call it went actually pretty well and I can somehow see how we are growing up. However, we chanced upon an almost empty arcade since the mall was 30 minutes away from closing. We both played "Rambo" and I surprisingly enjoyed it! It was a little tiring because the gun was a little too heavy for me. I think he was even surprised that I actually agreed on playing! It was super fun!

I love how random we are together. It's what makes our relationship so interesting and we never get bored with each other! Of course, like normal couples, we have arguments or misunderstandings but we resolve them right away.

Cheers to seven years and to even more! ❤

Here are photos from today.
