34 months and counting...

We celebrate Skid's age every month. He's now 34 months :) Hubby and I feel blessed that he has a cheery, friendly disposition. We love his SMILE! He loves having and picture taken and would include everyone in it. This is one of his favorite "Kodak" poses; this time with Mom and Ate Lyn.

His birthay "cake" was an ensaymada which he shared with Dad. He now knows how to blow his birthday candles :))

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR DEAR BABY! <3 <3 <3

i love Fun-days!

this was taken on our regular Family Fun-day. The reason we're wearing red was because our baby "ruled" it. That morning, he told Dad to change from a blue to red shirt because he was wearing one.
Skid addressing Hubby: Dad, suot mo red! (Dad, you wear red!)
Skid addressing Me: 'Kaw din Mom! (You too Mom!)


I have to say, Skid is right! the color looks nice and i love our smiles...

LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT FUN-DAY!!! <3 <3 <3

25 years and beyond...a high school reunion

Thanks to the power of technology, in 2005 i was reconnected with a couple of high school buddies. Over the years, we will meet, have coffee moments, food trip, celebrate "occasions" in our lives like a big 4-0, birthdays, weddings, etc.

But the year 2012 is special. Twenty five 25 years since we graduated from our alma mater Canossa Sta. Rosa.

Over the past few months, emails and PMs were sent back and forth to communicate with classmates based out of town and abroad. not to mention our coffee-planning sessions :)

All the planning was 2-part. One is our silver gathering at Vivere Suites Alabang last December 1, 2012. A couple of classmates based abroad went home for the affair. Thirty three attendees for a class of 150++ (not a bad turnout!)

Part two was a homecoming to the new site of Canossa. It was great to see old familiar faces of teachers and "sisters". Hairs on my arms stood on end when we sang the Canossa Hymn. I realized i still know the tune by heart after leaving my school 25 years ago.

Thank you Canossa for making me what i am today. For molding my character for ten tender years of my life <3 <3 <3

Coke lighting ceremony 2012

Been awhile since i've updated this blog but it doesn't mean that the past season has been lame. lots of things have happened. will try to recapture them all :)

For a second year, hubby and i together with some fellow Coke collectors went to the annual Araneta Coca-cola tree lighting ceremony last November 9, 2012. VIP passes only, but we were "celebrities" so we got a free pass :D

Prominent guests include Coca-cola Export VIPs (minus their president), reigning Bb. Pilipinas beauties and GMA/ABS-CBN talents.

Also had an "ambush" picture taken with the president of happiness, "Caloy".

Coca-cola Company is celebrating its 100 years in the Philippines with "open happiness" as its theme. So there was a Coca-cola truck which gives Coca-cola freebies (1.75li packs, tshirts, glasses,cupcakes etc.) at the touch of a button.

We caught the Coca-cola roving "fun" bus and hubby and I had some souvenir pictures

Coca-cola balls adorn the 100-feet high tree. Would love to have at least one to add to our collection. It's the size of my head and made of light-weight fiber glass. :)

This year we left prior to the actual tree lighting to avoid the rush, so no picture of the lighted tree :(
