My Little Girl is 7


You are the sunshine of my life!!!

 Our resident drama queen, my witty, smart, so very funny, talented, thoughtful, clingy baby girl. Our lives would be so dull without you. I pray everyday and thank Him for the gift of your presence in our lives. Thank you for being my shadow, a constant reminder of how blessed I am to have you. May you continue to grow beautifully under God's loving guidance. 

Happy 7th Birthday, my precious Sabine Alexa!

 I love you. Always. Forever.

Sige Lang ng Sige! - a fun filled day with the SoMoms and Breeze


You can just imagine how thrilled I was upon being invited to this summer get-together last week. It was a holiday (Araw ng Kagitingan), Anissa didn't have anything dance-related to do that day and Sabine is forever attached to me anyway so off we went! Sadly, N had to stay behind to work and do something for Mama, so it was an all-girl thing we had. 

The event was the first #SoMoms #session for the summer. It was sponsored by no less than Breeze. 

My girls and I were early. I didn't want to be late and I didn't know what to expect traffic-wise because we are not Southerners hihihi. The drive to Nuvali was a breeze (no pun intended) though, that's why we got there in no time, even with a stopover for breakfast at Starbucks Magallanes. 




We had a quickie and casual photo session with Lawrence del Mundo (the camwhore -- that's me -- can't wait to see the photos!)

Pretty soon, Sabine got into the groove of things. My Masterpiece Movement, that's Teachers Anna and Kara, got the kids started on art and then yoga and music. My Oncologist says I should continue to take it easy so I didn't get into it like the other Moms did but I had fun sitting there and watching everyone, including my Sabine who was so into it. 




Soon after, came the super fun part --- getting dirty! I'm not sure I said that right or if I should laugh at my OC self for doing so. But it was so much fun just hanging loose and not really caring about making a mess! #sigesamantsa

 Teacher Kara took over and showed us all how much fun being dirty and messy can be. Spot the huge plastic sheet that she's sitting on and see what the kids are going to do with it in the succeeding photos.






And what we ended up with was this beautiful piece of art!



The requisite group photo, of course!

Am honored to have been part of this happy and fun day with all these wonderful mothers and their equally wonderful children. The #sigemom and her #sigekids absolutely enjoyed every minute! #sigesamantsa




AND AND AND ...

May I just say I was kilig to have brought home this huge pack of detergent?!  Yayay was so happy when she saw this! 

Thank you, Breeze! Thank you, SoMoms! Super looking forward to next time because ang sarap maging #sigemoms with our #sigekids!!!

First Time : The Village Tavern


We finally found time to get together and this time, no absentees. Yay!!!

Presenting : The Wednesday Club that hardly meets on Wednesdays hihihi!!!

I'm always excited to try out a new restaurant and I was impressed!


From top to bottom, left to right: 

Four Cheese Pizza
Snapper Hemingway (that's angel hair pasta underneath)
Grilled Chicken Penne - my personal favorite
Asian Tuna Salad
Thai Chicken Salad

And then here's the gang. 

Yes, we've known one another since high school. Galing no? And today, two from this group have children who've just successfully finished their college education! Props to them! Can you guess who? :))



Always a fun time with them, plus the food was great.

I just wish it wasn't so humid! (pardon my oily face)

The Village Tavern is located at Boni High Central
