It's coming out on May 11 in the US, and hopefully these will be sold locally. If not, well, hello Amazon.com right? It might...

Drawing of a 5 Year old

This was the end result. There were no tracing or those tools to draw. His model was just his Optimus Prime Robot. He really has talent. I guess Lego playing earlier on helped. I'm just amazed. And Proud. Love you my dear neph...

Thoughts on Materialism

It is late at night again, and usually this is the time when I think about my day, what I have learned, what the future will hold. And since I am still in front of the laptop, my thoughts are translated here, hahaha. Encounters with family, relatives, and other people (personally or in the blogosphere/twitter-verse or what have you), oh plus discussion with my husband has made me realize things and...

Eanna and Her Dog

Ever since Eanna had her new pet, they have been inseparable. She sleeps beside it. She watches TV with it in front of her. She pets it. Kisses it. Puts it to sleep. How cute, really. PS: That isn't really a dog. Haha...

Playing To Learn

In order to design a curriculum that teaches what truly matters, educators should remember a basic precept of modern developmental science: developmental precursors don’t always resemble the skill to which they are leading. For example, saying the alphabet does not particularly help children learn to read. But having extended and complex conversations during toddlerhood does. Simply put, what children...

Kelly The Great

Grace behind the glamour: Grace Kelly was known for her poise and elegance but in reality, she was down-to-earth and humble - with a passion for limericks I just adore Princess Grace Kelly. If there is one woman I'd like to emulate, it's her. Well, it is a toss between her and the other Great, Audrey...

Buffet Just Before the Holy Week

I know, know, it may be too much, but my dear BFF invited me for a lunch buffet in Escolta at the Manila Peninsula. I took the opportunity too because we're not gonna see each other for at least two weeks because of her hectic travel schedule. Besides, it's been a long time since I had a good buffet...

Beauty Loot List

It's been a while since I last bought some beauty loot and though I have "broken" my Abstinence vow of not buying anything for personal use (bags, clothes, cosmetics, etc), I still chose not to dive in and buy for my major kikay kit revamp. But here's my list/collage about stuff I hope I could get... My...

Luggage Needed!

I just came home from watching Alice in Wonderland with my sister, brother, and nephew, and though a lot of people said they didn't like it, I quite enjoyed the film. Anyway, aside from the movie, sister and I have been talking non-stop about our upcoming Singapore trip with my Mom. We're excited already!...

Earthquake!

That was one bad-ass and freakishly long earthquake awhile ago. I was in front of my laptop on my bed when suddenly my bed shook. I knew it was an earthquake so I ran out and saw my pendant lights moving like crazy. Went to Eanna's room and got her. Her lights were moving as well. We went out and and...

Fooled!

I slept late last night to download the 15th episode of The Vampire Diaries, only to find a fake video today. ACK! I should have wiki-ed it and checked out the episode list. "A Few Good Men" episode has not yet aired, and will only be aired tomorrow, US time of course. ACK. Fine. Will download it...

Greatest Fear

There are only two things that are certain... change and death. Though I still feel queazy sometimes about the thought of change, drastic change that it, I am ok about it. My greatest fear however is the second one that is certain in life... death. Sorry for being morbid, but when my panic attack (or worse, emo mode) strikes, thoughts about death is always in the agenda. My death, death of my family...

Pretty Pretty... Have You Seen This?

Please welcome the new design of Vivienne Tam for HP netbooks... The specs I guess are still the same as any regular HP mini (don't know if it has a KVM switch though). What I love about this is the color of the netbook itself, paired with the very simple butterfly design. It would have been perfect...

Me, waiting for the the Vampire Diaries 15th episode download to be finished. And it's almost 11 pm! I'm beginning to look like a vampire. No makeup, pale-faced, and dark eyebags. Haha...

Louis The Ghost

My Ghost chair is by far my favorite chair, but it seemed so out of place where it is right now... One of my chairs in our dining area. Actually, I wanted to complete the set but due to expenses and tightening of budget, I don't think I'd see them together in the near future. Again, a case of "I should've...

6 This Year; 1,000th Post

Wow, I just realized that this blog has been active for 6 years now. Yup, six last march 4, based on the date of my first blog entry. Actually, I've been blogging way before that but used a different platform. That was the time when blogging was not really in yet. It appealed to me however because I really like writing in journals, and virtual journals made it easier for me to do so. Which reminds...

Pogo: My Latest Item in My Wishlist

The Polaroid Pogo: Zero Ink Technology I should've bought it when I saw it like a month or so ago in SM. The salesperson however couldn't tell me if these print pictures like the Polaroid camera. And besides, my Canon Ixus still works. I wasn't really into buying one before. But then, my camera now...

Earth Hour 2010

In celebration of Earth hour, switch off your lights for 60 minutes on Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 8.30-9.30pm wherever part of the planet you maybe! It's also nice that one of my favorite shoes brands, Charles & Keith, supports the Earth Hour. Like what I always say.... It's about...

Tempted To Max

I've been into blog hopping this morning, and honestly I'm a little tempted to fully utilize my blog, i.e. maximize blog earnings by putting ads and be all out and active in links swaps, adgitize, entrecard, etc. Blame it on the blog post I read, where the blogger earns more than US$ 500 a month through blogging. That's quite enough to push through with Orlando vacations plans! Hahaha. But much as...

Pierre Herme Craziness!

Ok. This is scary. I am really getting addicted to Pierre Herme miniature collection. Bordering on obsession, really. I saw this website, e-tradersplace, that sells the Pierre Herme miniature collection (2). This collection consists of 5 different pastries with different themes: New Year, Valentine's...

Pierre Herme Miniature Collection

Thanks to Chuvaness' post, I was introduced to the world of Pierre Herme miniature collection. I'm not really the type who collects anything, but this made me want to start my very own collection! I felt so child-ish when I dropped my first few tokens in Toy Kingdom, and when the egg case came out,...

Gadgetry Cases

I gotta protect my new gadgets, you know. Can't really afford to replace them if broken or lost. Hahaha. PS: Yes, I crashed when I came to keeping my vow. I changed my Lenten vow after the Bazaar incident when I completely forgot about it and got myself some earrings for a cheap thrill. New vow?...

My New Reader

I've got a new fan of my blog... Who could it be? Of course, it's my dearest husband! He finally decided to read my blog, and then he sent me this email... I love reading your blog. Until now, I'm still here and I haven't stopped reading. Awwww. But then again... it means I can no longer rant about him. Nyahahahaha! Love you too honey. Wish you would take the next step and comment on my posts....

SS: Eight Tens Meme

Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named Lily at the blog F*ck Art Let's Dance. She does not say where she found the meme. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time....
