Car Maintenance Quote Rant

I was really happy last time when Honda casa advised us a few months back that for the next maintenance checkup, the cost will be considerably lower. Imagine my surprise when the husband told me the actual cost. It was double the price mentioned to us before!

Of course, I can;t do anything much about it except rant I guess, but come one, is there no one you can trust now when it comes to giving quotes? Do companies have to check out www.trustedquote.com and have their strategy patterned after it? Argh.

Sorry, rant mode in a major level. Oh well. Lesson learned.

Why am I Away?

It's that time of the year when I rarely blog.... You know, that time when I'm too busy because... the husband is here at home for his two-month vacation! Yay!

So far i am loving these days. We're a bit cooler and calmer than before. It used to be that we get to feel each other's mood and things get a bit heated when one doesn't budge. But for a couple of days now, we've been getting along quire well. Hahaha.

I am also thankful because for me, nothing beats having your love, your husband, your co-family maker right by your side. Sure, emotional support is there. But... physical support is there too... Nope, not what thinking, but more on, you know, physical activities. Not what you're thinking again hahahah! I can't seem to get it right, right? What I'm saying is, I have manpower. Hahahaha! From fixing leaking pipes and water pumps to making sure the car gets washed and all. I just love him being around. Hahahaha.

Kidding aside, what matters most is the emotional support I feel whenever I'm down. Though we get to talk everyday and see each other everyday via Skype, nothing beats emotional support couple with physical presence.

And i'm gonna make the most out of this vacation. Sound valid right, to be away from my blog even for a few weeks!

Eanna's Fancy Birthday Soiree!

Finally, the big day has come... Eanna's 4th birthday party at Rainbow Room!

And here is Eanna's Fancy Nancy costume! Gotta love her for looking it and playing the part!

Pink Glasses, hot pink boa, tight bodice and flouncy tutu, lace tights, pearly shoes, white gloves, curly hair and lots of pins. She worked it!

I absolutely loved the cake... it has a French-y Paris-y feel to it courtesy of the Eiffel tower and French poodle cookie toppers!

The kids enjoyed the food (kids love Jollibee hahahah) plus they were really curious with the cake and the cupcake giveaways!

It's quite obvious I had lots of fun preparing for this lovely party. I'm so proud of the outcome! I love love costume parties, and I'm really hoping we'd have one for adults too hahaha! Wonder what would the theme be... (something sexy or fun so that women will come in wearingfrench maid costumes for adultsNYAHAHAHAH!

But wait... there's more!

To all who celebrated with us... Merci Beaucoup!

F21 Makeup

Finally, after several trips to Forever 21, I decided to get this:

This is Forever 21's French Luxe Eyeshadow Palette. I just cannot resist the colors, especially since I realized that I don't have any neutral color eyeshadows!

Gorgeous, right? Hehehe. Plus, the price, the price! Really reasonable at Php 365. Hehehe.

If this turns out to be a really good buy, then this will be my next loot:

Preparing for Eanna's Party

We may not have a big party this year for Eanna (because we decided to travel instead hehehe) but she will have a small party for her classmates on her birthday.

I feel so bad that I will not be around: I have a training that I cannot be absent, even for just half a day. ***Sob***

And because of this, I have prepared in advance (if you call less than a week as "advanced preparation" hahaha). The theme is still Fancy Nancy...

Here are the invites and thank you notes...

I made these by tweaking some designs I got from the internet. I love making invites and thank you notes! (Just imagine during Christmas, when I get to check out invitationbox.com christmas photo cards and come up with my own!)

Giveaways: Jewel-ring stamp, hair accessory, and pen for girls, bubbles and pen for boys, plus candies for both...

And the cake. A cross between the two below (courtesy of Kitchen Krafts).

Eanna's will be geared towards Parisian Fancy Nancy but a different cake topper. I have no pics of the cupcakes but I'm sure they will look really nice too, with Fancy Nancy's face on top! I am really excited how her cake will turn out! :)

I was thinking of making a tarpaulin but I think that's too much already considering it's supposed to be just a simple party. Food is from Jollibee - what the little girl specified. Hahaha. :P

Now what will Eanna wear? Hmmm. Didn't buy that much new stuff, but here's a clue... Fuschia feather boa!

Goodness, I'm sooo excited already!

VMAs: Linkin Park Lost to Katy Perry

Awww man. I was really rooting for my favorite band to win the Best Visual Effects for their video "Waiting for the End." Katy Perry won instead for her video ET. yes, I know her video looked nice and all, but I think LP should've won still. A lot of tweets were hurled against the winners of the VMA's. Some probably didn't deserve winning, but hey, such is life. I guess the VMAs have a different target or agenda altogether.

Oh well. In other celebrity news, it was also announced that Beyonce is pregnant with her first child with Jay-Z. She was even rubbing her belly for the world to see. Hahaha.
