She is Two!

K turned two this weekend. I did not plan on doing anything as we already had plans of going to Singapore to celebrate. But the last minute, I decided to invite our immediate families to gather for a simple celebration at home. I ordered a cake and some balloons, printed some banderitas, and had food delivered. We feasted on spaghetti, shanghai and chicken lollipops, plus we prepared some hotdogs for that old fashioned house party feel :)

I am recovering from fever right now. I need to get well for our flight early tomorrow. So the stories will have to wait until we get back.

Tata for now!

What happens when ad agencies planned kids' birthday parties?

I saw this video here. I found it really funny and creative :) Such a nice way to plan a kid’s party, eh? I like that multi media is used in planning for this party.

Have you noticed how stressful it has become to plan a kid’s party? Well, I know because in my circle of mommies and also from my e-groups, a lot of moms are confused, given that there are so much out there in the market for parties these days.

Construction Mishap

My parents are constructing a building in our hometown for a project so these days, our conversations are almost always about it. From permits, to demolition of old house, to hardware like industrial pumps, to the finishing & furnishings when the building is done. Of course safety of the workers is a priority too. We want to avoid mishaps like the one happened in Makati yesterday morning. The service elevator in the site gave way, fell from 32nd to 7th floor. At least 10 were instantly killed in the accident. While something like this is unlikely to happen because ours isn’t high-rise, everyone in the compound must follow safety precautions.

I’ve Got Your Back

Found this image really hilarious, that’s a pretty literal thing to do, right? LOL! But then again, I find that this image fits me now because I have a lot to think and worry about. And I have my support team to cheer me on and tell me that everything will be all right. It’s nice to know that other people care aboot me.

Another Sale Alert | Robinson’s

In case you are still looking for sales events, you can head out to Robinson’s Malls where the clearance sale is up to January 31. Get to enjoy up to 70% off on selected items.

I still a few items I need for two upcoming trips and I am itching to go. I am torn between shopping and saving the money for said trips.

Home World Sale

We went for some errands in Megamall this morning. Well, mainly to buy some necessities for K and pick-up the studio pictures shot last week. While in line for the parking, I saw this sign:

I think I saw this in friend’s blog but did not consider it until we realized we needed to move out (after we received that call from the the landlord). Some of our stuff will not fit anymore in the new house, so we need to let go of some them buy what we need (or make do with what will still be available for us).

SO we might let this sale pass, especially that we are also busy sorting our stuff.

iWon!

Remember that give-away contest that Litzie hosted last week? The one where she was giving out two Starbucks Planner?

Litz sent me a message yesterday that I won one of the planners! Woohooo!

I was even told that I was extra lucky yesterday because my name was picked TWICE! :) Of course she had to draw another name, and the other planner is going to Caryl! Thanks Litz for giving me the chance to own a Starbucks planner without the calories, LOL!

No Dancers?

We were watching the news last night when I read a friend’s tweet about how weird for Willing Willie to not have the regular dancers on stage. So we switched channels and true enough, it was just Ana, the group’s choreographer who was doing the usual dancers’ jobs. I asked Ane if he knows about it, he said that he read somewhere that the regular dancers were suspended for fighting amongst themselves. I say they better clean up their act, otherwise they will lose their work and get fat. I am sure they will scramble to find which diet pills really work when that happens, for lack of regular exercise and depression.

I read a news page this morning and found out the reason for their suspension, apparently an indefinite one. The host, Willie, was saying that the dancers keep on fighting each other, even fighting publicly on Twitter. Not a sign of being professional, eh? Willie even divulged that each talent receives P40,000 a month plus a car to use. Certainly, that’s more than a minimum wage earner gets per month, so they are considered lucky. If they do return, I hope they have learned a truly valuable lesson.

Proposed Internet Cap, Junked

Where’s the “unlimited” in a provision that will place a cap on daily internet usage, right? This is what the protesters were fighting for when the National Telecommunications Commission announced that there is already a draft proposal that if and when approved will limit daily download of users. Ala, this controversial provision in rules was scrapped on Wednesday after the well-attended public consultation in Quezon City.

I say kudos to NTC! Although I am not against the limit to cut internet addiction, I still believe that internet providers should at least improve on their services first (increase speed, deym!) and not impose this new rule to current subscribers who signed up & are supposedly paying for “unlimited” usage.

I can see that in the very near future, companies will be more wary of their marketing strategies.

Non-stop Eating

Just this afternoon, I think I ate enough calories to last me the next day: five pieces of choco chip cookies and a bunch of fresh strawberries with condensed milk, lots of it! At this rate, I will need Diets pills that work if I want to look good at the beach in March. There you go, I just broke my resolution to avoid over-eating, LOL! I need to get my acts straight, really.
