... Dropped off MIL at her place, and switched back to our car ( we used their van kasi)
... Joaqui was dead tired then.
... Nagising pag dating sa bahay... browsed his coloring book. Changed to Pj's, dilat na dilat, naglaro.. nagkalat.. nag milk.. tulog ulit!
... Si gelo??? pumasok sa office kasi hindi sya pumasok ng umaga hahaha! kakatawag lang., he arrived safely naman.
... at AKO?! ito, parang walang nangyari, nakuha ko pang mag blog!

Gotta sleep now.. dalawa na tingin ko sa monitor hehehe..

flowers at Lola's garden

Gelo's photography skills is really improving. I commend him for that. Let me share with you a few of his shots at Lola's Garden. This is his fave spot in the house, since Lola has a green thumb, grabe, ang gaganda ng flowers nya. She has lots of orchids too at the side, next time i will take pics of that. I was asleep with Joaquin then, kaya these are all Gelo's shots..

Lookie... Lookie...











i told you he improved a lot.. way to go daddy!

bed weather and online shopping

yeah, it is indeed.

If only i can lounge all day and have a day off in being a yaya, LOLz...And coz of the weather, we are having crispy fried chicken wings and a cream of mushroom soup. Sarap ng soup pag umuulan.. can't wait for lunch hehehe :)

i feel better now. my throat is getting back to its normal state i guess.. being not too swollen just like the other day.

Oh, and i am awaiting my items from an online store at multiply , Dindy & Mitmit.. Goodness, im getting hooked with it!

This is mine..




This is for Ricca..



Here's a few sites that you might wanna check out:

M Barretto Bags
Sy-Kat Couture
Vintage of Elegance
Euphoria Accessories

It was my SIL, Love, who introduced me to multiply online shopping.. shoping could never be this easy.. hahaha! Since i dont have time to go the mall on weekdays, to actually look for my stuff (kasi pag nasa mall din kami, Gelo will make face if i try to enter shops , hahaha), ayan, new found haven for me. Paying is easy too thru gcash. Shipping fee ranges from Php 65-80 for manila. Not bad, kasi if il go the mall, how much the gas? parking fee?.. tapos we will eat merienda, lunch or dinner pa.. ( sige, i defend ko daw ito.. baka kasi nagbabasa si Gelo , LOLz)

But still, during weekends, a trip to any mall would make it complete ;) Ibang usapan na pag weekend.

wala lang

just wanna share this pic.. taken last mothers day. Kalbo pa si joaqui jan hehehe :)
