>Our Stay at Linden Suites

>

During Pillow’s first birthday we stayed at Linden Suites. We stayed 2 nights at the 3 Bedroom Suite.
The place is so relaxing. We stayed at the 4th Floor but we can’t hear cars or street sounds. It seems that we are staying far from the city. The suite is big enough. Gareth spends most of the time running around the suite. The kitchen is big and has all the basic amenities.
If you are interested in staying at Linden Suites feel free to email them.

>Pillow’s Milestone

>

Pillow is growing fast. She learn so many things easily. She loves going around the house. We need to clean each corner of the house because she loves picking everything and putting it to her mouth. She also loves to dance everytime she hears Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber songs. She has 6 teeth already and loves biting my clothes like a little monster. LOL

She is not sleeping like before too. She is very active and loves to eat everything. She loves peek-a-book game. She is still learning to walk and it seems that she is taking her time and I am not in forcing her to do it right away. I want her to do it on her own. She is also talking a lot but mostly I can’t understand yet but I am glad that she is really trying. She also loves to sing.
I am a very proud mom of my kids and I can’t wait to witness all the exciting milestone in their lives!

>Managing Stress

>

Managing a business is not a joke. I feel so weak recently due to some planning. We need to open our 2nd store and I am still looking for that perfect place. Well, I hope it is really perfect. I am also doing the inventories, uploading pictures and labeling the items. I need to work for the business permit too. whew! lots of work!
As a Country Marketing Manager, we will be operating widely this coming Sept. We will be managing Canada offices too. The waiting is killing me and added stress as well. We need to finalize everything so that we can start when September comes.
So a massage will definitely makes me feel better. I should have it this weekend.

>Dear Darla

>Something funny happened today…

After we went to our supplier, we decided to drop by at the nearby Yellowcab to take out pizza but I realized that we should stay longer and ordered Dear Darla Pizza.
At the menu the Dear Darla Pizza looks like this:
It looks so appetizing and I wanted to it try for the first time. We waited around 10 minutes then it was served to our table like this:
I thought that its ready to eat but we have to roll it individually. It’s actually fun and I love doing it. So I looked to hubby and both of us are wondering on how to prepare it. waaaaaa but then eventually we figured it out. hahahaha
I like those vegetables and its really a healthy meal. So perfect! Yummy!

>Wants or Needs?

>The last time we bought major appliances was year 2003 after we got married. My husband loaned at the company he previously worked.

We just celebrated our 8 Year Anniversary and when we checked our major appliances and furniture they are not as functional as before.
So I will be making a list of the items needed:
1. Refrigerator – it’s not functioning and currently we are using our Freezer and because of that we are paying higher electric bill.
I saw at SM a Kelvinator Matte Black Ref. I might get this one.
2. Stove – We are still using the stove given to us when we got married and it needs replacement since the other burner is not functioning.
Since we are planning to renovate the house next year we decided to just get a 2 burner stove. Hubby wants a La Germania stove but we will just get it next year after the house renovation.
3. Aircon – we are using our aircon for 6 years and needs replacement.
I want a Carrier Aircon.
4. Dining Set – we have a glass type dining table and so far its still okay but the chairs are not dependable anymore. This time I want a wood dining set.
5. Washing Machine – Our washing machine don’t have a drier so everytime it rained we got a problem in drying our clothes.
I want LG Topload Washing Machine.
We are working so hard for the coming weeks to buy all the items listed! Goodluck to us!

>Ayumi Janelle’s First Birthday Party Celebration

>

Pillow’s First Birthday was held yesterday at Corinthians Garden. Since I wanted a big party, I hired a Party Planner para wala na akong iisipin sa pag contact ng mga suppliers. Before I contacted the Party Planner I already had the list of what I wanted in my party. When PP and I met I just informed here the party details and so happy that she delivered it exactly what I want and because of that it made the event PERFECT!!

Official Party Planner: Dynamic Impact: 10/10 c/o Emie –

I got the following services from them:

1. Venue – Corinthians Garden

2. Food – Nong food tasting pa lang, sobrang satisfy talaga kami ni hubby. Kaya nong event mismo confident ako na masasarapan guests namin. Akala ko nga hindi na ako makakain kasi madaming bisita but so thankful that Emie offered us food habang nakapila ang guests so walang nasayang na time, hindi pa kami nagutuman ni hubby.



3. Chocolate Fountain – nice set up pero dahil busy ako hindi ko na natikman.



4. Ice Cream – wow kids love it! I tried it at masarap talaga. I saw moms and kids are eating ice creams.



5. Cake – Simple lang pero masarap. Guests were texting me after the party that they like the cakes. I have mini cakes too as a souvenirs and they really love it.



6. Cupcakes – I ordered 50pcs. with clear box. This served as a souvenirs din.

7. Entertainment – BUMPY – ang galing nya. Lahat talaga natuwa. Kids and adults love him. Magaling yong magic and puppet show. Very friendly din and during breaks some of my guests approached him kasi natuwa talaga sa kanya.

8. Face Painting – cute ng designs and kids love it.

9. Venue Decors – gusto ko talaga madaming balloons and so happy na nagawa ni Emie ang gusto ko. Pati color combinations are perfect.



10. Photobooth – dito nag enjoy ang adults lalo na ang mahilig magpicture picture. Nag start agad at mabilis ang printing and the owner is very friendly.
