Stay in Love!

Feels younger! Know why? 'Coz hubby gave me pink roses. Ever since he courted me up to the time when we got married and had three kids he's always giving me white roses. White roses are my favorites not only because I love the scent or the looks but the meaning of the flower as well. It's for me a sign of 'purity and worthy of love' and when I asked for a sign from God if Ed is really the one for me white roses has been an instrument in it! Sounds childish but true :-) you know when you're in love you sound like corny but true :-)

When he gave me pink roses I felt younger, the time when I'm beginning to see some white hairs on my head! Maybe our age are just adding up but we're still the same people who fell in love couple of years ago. I'm beginning to think that the song 'kahit maputi na ang buhok ko' really happened on some couples, that people can really be so romantic even after many years of marriage.

In this time and age of short relationships some couples can still fight for their love to survive and be contented with each other. What's the secret? It's got to be 'putting God in the center of your love and relationship'. Trials and problems are always there to test your love but God will be there also to help you conquer all.

Cooking With My Bro’s Kids

Got a call from big brother and he asked me to cook something for his younger daughter Mitch. She’s having a birthday celebration tomorrow Feb. 10. Mitch is his third kid and the youngest girl in the family, the same age as my Gengen. They wanted me to cook macaroons for Mitch’ friends and we decided to use oven toaster instead of my gas range because I’m going to cook in their house.

I have plenty of stock supplies of dessicated coconut and paper cups which my officemate bought for me in a baking supplies store in Blumentritt. It costs me little because I bought my supplies at wholesale costs so I want to use it for my family’s birthdays. They just bought some other ingredients and we started mixing at 9pm. Oh well I’ve mixed a lot that’s good for 300 plus goodies so I left them baking the remaining mixture, hope they will take care not to burn it lol! My nieces and nephews really love the food that I always cook especially leche flan and macaroons and I enjoy it!

Glow In The Dark Signs

I didn’t know that signs on the building can really help someone in times of trouble. My friend who just recently landed a job on a high-rise building encountered a slight problem on her first week. Being new on the place she didn’t know exactly the way around the building. When the elevator malfunctioned and electricity went off also she didn’t know the way out and because she has no one beside her she figured her way on her own. She was very thankful to find the glow in the dark exit sign on her way out. It helped her find the way through the dark aisle of the place and finally made her graceful exit without looking so ignorant of the building premises. Now she promised herself not be alone in going home to avoid things like these.

Nice Watches

I love wearing watches since I was in my fourth grade and father used to give me nice ones because he knows that would make me happy. I’m not so fond of wearing other jewelries because it’s too girly for me. I want to look as simple as possible then because even as a child I’m basically uncomplicated! Watches for me are a human’s best accessory because we all defend on time on majority of our activities. We need to know the time to go to school, to our work and for some to monitor shows on television like the folks who watched telenovelas.

When mobile phones became so popular that it’s more a necessity now than luxury I sometimes leave my watch at home because I don’t to carry much when I go to work. I just want to wear my ring and glasses because I ride on a public vehicle and I might bump on bad elements, I’ve already experienced that so to avoid repeat occurrence I only wear essentials. My flair for watches returned now when I saw Ulysse Nardin model watches. I’m browsing some specials there and finally liked one or two of their featured models. Cute and simple!

:WW - Wooden Sofa

I love the color of woo particularly this sofa, it's actually my brother's sofa. He didnt even know I took a picture of this one lol! If he saw me he'll tease me again like her wife that I'm like a photographer. But I think blogging and photography is a perfect match don't you think? It's easy to write stories when you have pictures to go with it. It's true that a picture paints a thousand words! As always I'm not all wordless!

Comfortable Watching

Watching movies is a nice relaxation to everyone but since born-again Christians don’t watch movie on theaters we just confine ourselves to home video watching. We make sure that our DVDs and TV sets are always in good condition because it’s the only way that we can watch movies. Some of the friends I know invest a lot in having wide screen TVs so they can watch movies as if they’re on the big screen. Not only that they also buy some entertainment furniture like home theatre seating that perfectly fits their wide screen television to have a cozy feeling while watching on cinema-like screen. I’ve seen their home video room and it’s really splendid!
