♥ Star Magic Recital ♥

MOOD: cold.

LESSON LEARNED: "Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."

WHAT I DID: It was Nikolas recital for ABS CBN Star Magic Workshop today at ABS CBN Dolphy Theater.

They performed on stage with Jayson Gainza and Malou Crisologo.

from the movie "Bata Bata Paano ka Ginawa? Nikolas role was Ojie.

They were given a certificate.

We had lunch at Gerry's Grill
I had bottomless Sago't Gulaman
Chili Cheese Sticks, yes I love spicy foods and can eat a whole chili or sili,
Blu Marlin Steak Garlic Rice, Tinomok, Kare- Kare and Sisig, yummy!

I am so proud of you my son.

I had been using my pink sony DSC-T20 for four years and someone dropped it twice so it is vibrating again so pictures are being blurry.

♥Starbucks Planner ♥

♥MOOD: accomplished :P

♥LESSON LEARNED:" If you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop. You’re on to something big. Because hard work ain’t hard when you concentrate on your passions."

♥WHAT I DID: We had major exam for NCM 200 today and it felt so good to study and know the answers and no worries that you will fail the subject, now I feel so inspired to study harder, after the exam I went to isetann supermarket to buy diapers and bread then at Ever to buy a mouse at CD-R king and I found this really cute car design that my kids love and I had to get my usb fixed because when I bought it and has not used it yet, it contains virus already and also bought back issues magazine for 3-for Php100. We went to starbucks because Ethan wants some doughnuts and finally I redeemed my planner.

♥ Starbucks Stamps ♥

♥MOOD: studying mode
♥LESSON LEARNED: "Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do."
♥WHAT I DID: Attend my classes in school then we went to starbucks and finally I completed my stamp card to get the planner but it is not available. I really need coffee to keep me awake as I will review for my prelim major exam tom. and just for today I had a cinnamon swirl, one of my favorite pastries from starbucks, it was hard for me to study since Elijah and Ethan were awake until 2am and I was awake until 7am and my exam is at 1pm, good luck to me.

♥ Last day of Star Magic ♥

MOOD: Happy

LESSON LEARNED: "If we are wasting time and enjoying ourselves we are not wasting time."

WHAT I DID: It is Niko's last day of ABS CBN Star Magic Workshop, he started his workshop lasts October and surely he met many new friends, gains confidence and learned how to act? I had so much fun myself meeting new friends and the stars of ABS CBN, I will surely miss the times waiting for three hours so we try to entertain ourselves by watching E-LIVE, taking pictures with the stars, hanging out at starbucks, eating and chatting with other Mommies.

♥ Happy New Year 2011 ♥

We went to Fontana in Pampanga to celebrate New Year's and it was so much fun.

I am so blessed to have such good people in my life.

Good friends and family are a true blessing.

Wishing everyone more blessings to come.

Elijah and I had so much fun riding this.

We went to SM Clark and bought groceries for our media noche- a feast that is also supposed to symbolize their hopes for a prosperous New Year. In spite of the yearly ban on firecrackers, many Filipinos in the Philippines still see these as the traditional means to greet the New Year. The loud noises and sounds of merrymaking are not only meant to celebrate the coming of the New Year but are also cast out malevolent spirits. Safer methods of merrymaking include banging on pots and pans and blowing on car horns. Folk beliefs also include encouraging children to jump at the stroke of midnight so that they would grow up tall, displaying circular fruit and wearing clothes with dots and other circular designs to symbolize money, eating twelve grapes at 12 midnight for good luck in the twelve months of the year, and opening windows and doors during the first day of the New Year to let in the good luck.

I bought a top from Maldita, I just like the logo "MALDITA".
Fuchsia Ballet Flat Shoes that is on SALE from Cinderella.
Michie, Kuya Putoy and their cute daughters gave us a cute and inspirational gift.


I love the message:
RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE
Never both be angry at the same time.
Never yell at each other unless
the house is on fire.
If one of you has to win an argument,
let it be your mate.
If you have to criticize, do it lovingly.
Never bring up mistakes in the past.
Neglect the whole world rather
that each other.
Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.
At least once everyday try to say
one kind or complimentary word.
When you have done something wrong,
be ready to admit it.
It takes two to make a quarrel
and the one in the wrong
is the one who does the
most talking.

New toys for them.
Had so much fun swimming and playing games
Puzzle game- The first one to build the puzzle wins.
Bring Me.
Polvoron game- The first one to finished eating polvoron

and after finishing eating the polvoron you have to say "Happy New Year"

wins!
