Late Post: Eanna's Birthday Pics

Very late post I know, but better late than never.

Here are some of the pictures taken during Eanna's 3 birthday parties:

Party at Rainbow Room:

In the entertainment room of our condo with her friends (and cousin!)

And a more intimate one with my family in our condo:


And all of these parties happened in just one day. Imagine the amount of food I cooked for the day, not to mention the preparations and logistics, hahahaha. More so, with the amount of food we've all consumed, I probably needed a colon cleanser to detox myself hahaha.

One thing I've learned about this special day is that I don't need to spend a lot nor throw a grand party for my little girl for her day to be special, for her to be happy, and for me to feel fulfilled. All of these didn't cost us that much since we've all prepared the things we needed and cooked the food we ate. It was tiring, yes, but it was one of the most fun parties I've ever had.

Relish: The New Resto along Valero

Last Friday, my Dad told us to join them for dinner in Relish, a new resto in Valero St, Salcedo Village. Since this is owned by the three Almario sisters, we have expected the interiors to be awesome (it is), and of course hoped that the food is of good quality and well-priced. 

As to the food, we didn't eat that much (E and I at least) because we were in the Manila area late afternoon, and I was really hungry we just opted to have dinner (of crabs and shrimps and lato hehehehe) in Dampa along Macapagal St. What we ordered was the artichoke dip.

 The dip was creamy yet you will not feel "nauumay" unlike those other cheesy dips offered by other restos. The dip came with a generous number of toasts so you don't have to order another set of toasts to finish the dip. My parents ordered fish and kebabs and they said that it was good. I trust them when they said that as they weren't that easy to please when it comes to food hehehe. As for drinks, we didn't get to try much because my Uncle brought a really nice French version of Chardonnay. Crisp, light, and perfect. His daughter however ordered the virgin mojito and said it tasted good too.

I promise the next time we'd eat there I'd give a more in-depth report on the food, hehehe. They offer a good selection, (I will try the steak for two next time!) and the prices are, well, let's say Greenbelt and Serendra type of price range.

Now for the interiors... With the Almario sisters, you'd know the interiors will look great. And yes, Relish is a cozy place to be in. It's gray interiors laced with white, black, and chrome give you a subtle glamour yet not intimidating atmosphere. I love the flowery mural where the area for entertainment is. Check out Kate Torralba on the keyboard and singing as well. Her voice is smooth and sexy, I must say!

Overall, I highly suggest that you check out the place. Ideal for friends, family, and of course, ahem, dates!

Car Insurance Renewal

The husband is leaving in probably a week's time and I've been worrying about our bills that needed to be attended to before he leaves for work (and be away for 4-5 months!). One of this is our car insurance which is supposed to be renewed this first week of November.

We had two options, our existing one and this new one suggested by the bank. My husband reminded me that we better get the old one as they have offered us a a good, nay - great, deal! We can pay our insurance by installment for 12 months without any interest. We have to confirm though if this is by PDC's or credit card. I just hope it's the former!

Anyway, for those interested, this is where I got mine: Mapfre Insular Insurance Corp.

Nursing Matters

Nope, I am not talking about nursing that pertains to feeding or caring for a newborn. I am talking about Nursing as in the profession. My niece-in-law is a licensed nurse but she hasn't found any nursing jobs here in the Philippines. Right now she is working as an agent in a call-center, which is obviously not related to her profession. I feel sad though because I know she very much wants to practice her profession and yet there are little opportunities for her to do so. She wants to apply in other countries but I guess she has to undergo the perils of agencies (nurse uniforms and supplies, medical exams, plus exorbitant fees!) and stuff like that before landing a contract.

What I have suggested to her is that she goes to a clinic or a public hospital and offer her services for free or at least minimum amount in order for her to gain experience. If budget is an issue she can also offer that she supplies her own scrub clothes. What is important is for her to practice her profession.

As to her supplies needs, maybe we can check out places where discount nurse uniforms are on sale. Hopefully this plan will turn out well.

Our family's back from a suddenly-planned Tagaytay and as always, we had a relaxing and fun time over the weekend. Thank goodness we partially received hubby's payday advance so we've got some extra moolah for this vacay, hehehe. Anyway, I have a couple of updates to do but let me settle down for a bit before I begin my blogging. My highlights of the week:
  • A review on Relish, the new resto in the Salcedo area along Valero St.
  • The new look of Estancia Resort in Tagaytay
  • Lunch at Balai Isabel
  • One maid less (yet again!!!)
  • On buffets and kid's meals (somekinda rant hehehehe)
  • The Ateneo win vs. FEU (yeeehaaaaa!)
  • Charice's smashing performance in Glee.... Yay for Filipino pride!

I Resisted It!

It took me a lot of strength and willpower NOT to push the button confirming the purchase of this lovely bag.

This is the oversized Mulberry Alexa satchel in Plum. The Oak for the longest time is still not available but this is the next color I would want if ever I get myself one. That's a big IF.

I cannot seem to have the heart to just splurge on a bag, considering that next year Eanna will officially start her preschool. Hello, preschool tuition vs. Alexa bag, of course a mother would know which is the more obvious choice.

Still... I could only wish for this.

Funny incident last night while having dinner, my laptop was opened and the bag was shown in the screen. I faced the screen so that the hubby will have a direct view of the bag. HE was like "Please, na-i-indigestion ako." HARHARHAR. I wanted to retort.. "it's ok, we have a medical assistance program to help you with your medical needs" NYAHAHAHAHA!

Let me just share you some of the pics I took before the little girl went to school.

Kinda obvious that she likes dressing up, eh? She's the one who chose her clothes, shoes, and accessories hahaha!

A Thousand Suns

No comments    
categories: ,
I've been tweeting about how wonderful Linkin Park's new album is, and I think it is about time that I blog about their latest offering in the form of "A Thousand Suns."


I admit that when I first saw and heard their song "The Catalyst" it really made me think, this... is... Linkin... Park...? Many of us who loved the kind of music they brought about 10 years ago will find their latest album something very new and very different from the songs they started. I've even read comments from so-called fans about how disappointed they were and wished they stuck to the Hybrid Theory type of music. It is, after all, the best music that time.

However, "that time" is the operative phrase. That was 10 years ago. We related to those songs. During those times. Yes, 10 years ago, I dare say that Linkin Park's album was the best there was.

And now I dare say again, "A Thousand Suns" is the best album in our time now. The best in these times. The beat, the songs, the lyrics, probably even the bad itself has matured. The times now may have probably influenced their new direction. Sure, there is still this sense of "doom" but it's not just about screaming our hearts (and lungs and voices) out, but as the last song "The Messenger" tells us, the album, amid turbulence and seeming desperation and despair, is hoping for hope, hoping that things will turn out right. As it says, "WHEN LIFE LEAVES US BLIND, LOVE KEEPS US KIND." Very human.

Gone are the days when it's just all about anger. There is wisdom. I don't know if I make sense but the album sounds organic, earth-y, human. No matter how jaded people may be, there is an option to move forward, to go beyond. Be angry, be in despair. Yet you have to can decide to go beyond it and not just be stuck to it.

I also find it funny how others who have listened to the album say there are a lot of fillers and they felt robbed and all. Well, you will think that way if you try to appreciate it in a segmented kind of approach. However, once you open yourself to what the band is offering, you'll notice that the album is fluid, as if it's just one whole song with crescendos, crests, troughs, emphasis. That's why I mentioned earlier that I felt the album was very organic. It grows. It makes you think and not just make you go with the flow blindly.

Oh, and I must be getting old, but I think the album too is easy on the ears. Like I said, 10 years ago, I loved singing all their songs in full-blast, not caring how doing this would affect my ears. There's some sort of humor too. I love the message "When They Come For Me" says. Grow up because we've grown. A few got offended, saying that it was an F*** Y** to people who wanted them to stick to their first music and that LP should show some respect. Well, I for one find it amusing. Maybe because I too got sick of those who keep on telling them to go back. Oh well, I love the beat. Earth-y.

To Linkin Park, I say... Thank you for yet another great album. Thank you for moving forward.

PS:
I do not like the album simply because it is Linkin Park. I like it because of the album itself.

The iPad Issue

No comments    
categories: 
After tinkering with the iPad yesterday, my desire to get one became greater than ever. Seriously. I have never experienced this kind of desire for a techie gadget since I got introduced to the world of PDAs a couple of years ago.

I have long fought against going ahead and purchasing one by telling myself that I already have a nice little laptop and that i should just wait for the 2nd generation. However, this nagging excuse also comes into mind... Eanna. I know, I know, I kinda sounded like those Pinoy celebs (like KA and CB) who used their kids as excuses to the actions they made, but seriously, just imagine the wide range of educational apps currently offered for the iPad and how much fun it would be for Eanna to learn a huge amount of things by just playing with and using it.

Then again, my Dad, who frowns upon me getting one, commented that nothing beats books and art materials when teaching the little girl. Ack. He is right, I guess.

There are still a couple of reasons why I want one (such as downloading e-mags and e-bboks) but I guess this gadget will have to wait.

*Sigh*

My Sister Is Leaving

Last night we had a despedida party for my sister, who is set to leave for Singapore tomorrow. She's going to be based there for 2 years because of work. On the one hand I am glad that she has taken this leap that I was afraid to do so when I was single, and that this will teach her how to become more independent and all, but on the other hand, I feel sad because of the thought of her not being here. I am worried of course because she will be alone there, and you know me, I am praning when it comes to safety, sickness, accidents, etc. I told most of the people I know who live in Singapore to check up on her and give me a weekly status (hahaha).

I know, people say that it's one big reason to go to one of the countries I admire. But then again, this is my sister, you know.

Rue Magazine

Have you checked out the latest online home design magazine, Rue Magazine? It recently premiered and I must say that the "advertising campaign" of my favorite home design blogs paid off. Browsing on the pages of Rue Mag makes me think that this online mag really has potential and featured (and will feature) a number of inspiring designs for all of us who simply traded fashion for furniture.


So yes, though the temptation to check out diet pills for women is there (yeah, I am that affected hahahahaha but I shouldn't be), it would be a lot healthier for me to just read Rue Mag. Who's with me?

Wow, I can't believe I actually paid $ 9.99 for Brownie Points for the FB game Sorority Life. I so wanted to get most, if not all, of the Tokyo clothes and accessories that for the first time in my history of playing FB games, I actually spent money for it.


So far I have not felt any buyer's remorse. Well, not that much. Hehehehe.

You Are Low Key and Relaxed

You are a energetic, warm, optimistic person. You approach everything with a lot of enthusiasm.

When you are happiest, you are calm. You appreciate tradition and family. You enjoy feeling cozy.

You prefer change to come slowly. You need a long transition period when your life changes.

You find hard work to be the most comforting thing in the world. You like the feeling of accomplishing something.

Your ideal day is active and full. You like to keep busy with your favorite things, and you appreciate a routine.

You tend to live in the moment. You enjoy whatever is going on, and you don't obsess over the past or future.

You Are an Autumn Tree
You are contemplative and deep. You enjoy observing the world around you.

You know that change is inevitable, and you try to roll with whatever life brings.

You can see the extraordinary in the ordinary. You are easily inspired.

You try to remain balanced and steady in the face of upheaval.

*Sigh*

Not even quizzes from Blogthings lift up my spirits and stop me from thinking about the fat issue and about having the need for supplement for weight loss. I know, I know, I shouldn't let it bother me.

Another Blogthings quiz perhaps?

You Got Fatter

You. Got. Fatter.

I have just received yet another comment that I just got fatter. As people know, I really abhor being told about my weight and how much I seem to have loaded up on fats and all. People, please get this. I AM NOT FAT. I am nearing 5'3 in height and I weigh ONLY 105 lbs. What is fat about that?

Sorry. I am just ranting now. I just dislike it when certain people seem to be too obsessed with my weight gain, they think that it is a compliment when they say that I got fat. "Ang taba mo ngayon ah!"

Sure, sometimes I feel like buying some weight loss diet supplements but it's only because of those moments when I wish I were just 100 lbs and all, you know, back to the old days. But it's not because I think I am fat.

Sorry again. Rant, rant, rant. Not a good day for me I guess. I started the day (very very very early) in a really really bad way. I hope this does not get prolonged.

LP's Great Performance

This is one fantastic performance by Linkin Park at the MTV VMAs 2010.

Some fans love it, some don't. I love their new music. I think the so-called die-hard fans who were disappointed with LP's new music and wanted another Hybrid Theory type of album are more die-hard fans of that particular music genre, not the band itself. Fans should appreciate how the band has evolved and pushed their capabilities and art further. That's longevity!

Has anyone tried purchasing the GiggleBellies video for preschoolers?

I chanced upon this in Youtube while browsing for nursery songs for my little girl. The songs were very nice and I'm interested in purchasing one. For those who don't know this yet, check out The GiggleBellies Youtube Page!

Eanna's Birthday Bash

This is a late account / post on Eanna's birthday, but better late than never right?

Anyway, as mentioned before, Eanna had a total of 3 birthday parties last week, exactly on her birthday. First one was in her class. There were only a few kids, but it was fun nonetheless. We ordered Jollibee meals for the kids and teachers, plus cake of course. Eanna's birthday theme was Mickey Mouse, as she personally chose that as her theme. We celebrated her birthday during their snack break, and we really thank the teachers for allowing us to have a simple party.

Off to the next one. This was a bigger bash, as it involved all her playmates in our condo.We rented the entertainment room there. We invited about 10 kids, but the number of people who attended was like, 40! Some of the kids had two yayas plus a parent! I didn't anticipate this as usually when I check out kids parties of her friends, only a yaya goes. Oh well, lesson learned. It was a riot nonetheless! I cooked the food of course... labor of love, they say hahaha! It's just a simple menu of kiddie spaghetti, chicken lollipops, and the usual hotdog on a stick with marshmallows. We got a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake too. All kids' loot bags were Mickey mouse-related. We also had a special game for the yayas, where first they are paired for a paper dance, then the final pair will beat each other by having the best score in our version of "Pinoy Henyo." Both yayas are winners already, but the winner of course will get the better bag (yup, I gave away two unused bags, hehehe). The kids were then treated to the traditional Pinoy kiddie party must-have, the pabitin. Oh my goodness, the yayas abttled to get toys for their alagas, hahahaha!

Last party was with my family. I again cooked the meals: Grilled steak (love love this!) and pasta with chicken and shitaake mushrooms (cream sauce). My family loved what i cooked, I'm so proud of course, hahahaha.

The little girl was really happy with the amount of attention she got during that day. She didn't seem exhausted until my parents and sibs left our place. Then less than a minute after she had her bedtime wash, she fell asleep.

Overall it was a fulfilling day for me as a Mom. Even more satisfying is the fact that my little girl enjoyed her day. The dad however insisted that this is the last time that we'd prepare, as he preferred not to be hands-on and just rely on a caterer and an event organizer. Hahahah. Men. What can I say?

Anyways, the parties are over and the gifts have been opened. What I need to do right now, and it really is long overdue, is to send Thank You Cards. Until now I haven't bought a nice set since all I saw were baby thank you cards. I was hoping I'd get to buy Mickey-Mouse Thank You notes too but I guess I'm pushing my luck!

Till next year's birthday bash for my little precious daughter!

Thank You

Thank you Lord that you continue to bless us amid troubling times. Thank you for answering my simple prayer.

May I borrow Topaz Horizon's recent post topic: "Because He lives, I can face tomorrow."

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

Red Head

My sister was getting sensitive already because of her upcoming work in Singapore, so even though I didn't really feel that well, I agreed to go with her to the parlor. I didn't expect that I'd go crazy and all, but here's the end result:

The redness might look subtle here but it really is intense in color. My hair too, it still looks long, but guess what, 2/3 of my hair was chopped off. That's how long my hair was before I decided to just go ahead and do the chop-chop. Actually, I wanted it to be shorter but the hairdresser got worried that I'd get too shocked with the shortness. I agreed later on. Hehehe.

Now my skin looks a lot whiter with the red hair. Somebody please give me an idea on what the best indoor tanning lotion is out there in the market. You know, just a little glow will be fine, not too much.

PS:
Thanks to dear friends who commented that my new do suits me well!

Job Dream

Last night I dreamt about me looking for jobs. I was able to talk to my former Norwegian boss and he said he's retiring too to focus on his own business. Then he got to talk to other colleagues and suggested that I be hired for this position that is head-office related but still based in Manila. Super weird. Well, not really because I had a job like that before hehehe. Anyways, people were shocked that I got the job, but everything went out well. I also visited this person who reached very high levels in her career at a young age but wasn't there. The next thing I knew, I was in a ship inspecting it and all.

Is this a sign of a hidden desire to work again? I'm not so sure about that because I really want to be just a stay at home Mom. But then again, that's what hidden desires are right?

Some Updates

No comments    
categories: 
It's not that I have willfully neglected this blog. It's just that there's so much that went on over the week that  I simply did not have time to update it.

Here are my quick updates that I promise I'll devote some blog space for each:

  1. Eanna's 3rd birthday! Yup! The little girl turned 3 last September 8. We had a very simple birthday celebration...3 in fact. Hahaha. One in school, another for her friends in our condo, and last with our family. Truly a memorable day for us!
  2. Asthma-season! I had a couple of asthma attacks but of course it did not stop me from cooking and preparing for my little girl's birthday.
  3. First time in the Piazza at McKinley Hill! We had dinner in Old Vine and Kuse (combo!) and I highly recommend that people try those two restos. I for one look forward to trying the other meals offered by the Old Vine. Plus of course, the other restos there. 
  4. New look of our home. Well, our place now is a mix of masculine and feminine tones. It's mainly blue in color, which is a bit masculine, but softened by some feminine accessories (new zebra-print rug!)
  5. Rant: Our car insurance. I didn't know claiming for insurance can be stressful. Won't name the insurance company but I don't think we'd renew with them (and will scout for cheap insurance just to meet the auto loan requirement). We'll see what happens this week. Hope things will be positive.
Hmmm... That's all I can think of for now, but I promise that I'd blog more this week. 

Cheers for now!

Go Greek!

No comments    
categories: 
I first saw Go Greek in Food Choices of Glorietta a few months back, probably when it just started. I wanted to try it out but I was a bit taken aback by the prices of the meals. The [rice range was not exactly within the range of food-court meals (save for House of Minis I guess?). Nevertheless, I vowed to try it the next time I would feel like eating Greek food.

That time came the other day. I was craving for Greek food and decided to give Go Greek a try.
I chose the Lamb Rack set - it had lamb, side salad (greens, tomatoes, olives), and potatoes (option too is rice). Together with the set meal are two dressings. The vinaigrette I assume for the salad, the other one, I honestly don't know but I tried it on the potatoes and it tasted good.
At first I was disappointed with the size of the lamb but at the end of the meal I was really full. I guess the servings were just right. The lamb was perfectly cooked - you can really taste the Mediterranean flavors. Very Cyma - if I got it right, Go Greek is the fastfood version of the famous resto (which I love, by the way). The potatoes, well I think they were a bit too baked as it wasn't crispy on the outside.

I also ordered the lemon soup.
It had chicken pieces and I guess this is the Greek version of arroz caldo. Love it too, though I think some may find it a little too sour.

Overall I would highly recommend Go Greek. I can't wait to try the other set meals like the kebabs and the roast chicken. I'm quite confident they taste good as well.

Snacking While Waiting

I've grown accustomed to eating snacks and drinking something while waiting for the little girl during her preschool classes, even though I just had lunch merely an hour ago. BAD!

Anyway, yesterday, it was this combination

This was the first time I've ever tried the Nescafe Mocha in can. I loved it!

The husband suggested that aside from buying/preparing the little girl's school snacks, I should buy myself my own too. Good suggestion! At least while I'm waiting for the little girl, I could enjoy my "me" time reading a book or magazine, or surfing the net, and munching good (junk) food. Hehehe. Thank goodness the clubhouse has free wifi and comfortable sofas with outdoor chair cushions. At least waiting will not be a bore.

Ok, I'm on a TV series roll here. But heck, I got this through Kevin's tumblr...

Love it!!!

Goodness, now I don't know what TV show gets my award for "My Favorite TV Series." Plus I have this new liking for "He's Beautiful" which is a Korean Telenovela. Light show and very funny.

Why can't Filipinos make these kinds of shows. In Pinoy teleseryes, the plot is too complicated, and the villans are just tooo evil. Slapping, screaming, conniving, evil-plotting, revenge. Gash.

There is something alluring and simply elegant in this home space...

Really, if only I have a spacious living area then I would've painting my walls black. The shiny stripes against the matte paint adds an interesting touch too. And the color palette. L-O-V-E. One day, when I have my own home office (hahahah when will that be), I'd decorate it using this as my inspiration. Just imagine how much better it would be to deal with bills and deciding on term life insurance rates with this kind of atmosphere and surroundings. Less stressful, right?

It is similar to this too that I want:

L-O-V-E. I am really itching to makeover the rest of our house.
