Last Sunday, our princess turned 3! And just like her 2nd birthday, we just celebrated it with the family. Her 2nd birthday was at Yakimix with my Aunt, Nanay and Yaya Gladys. This time, Nanay is in the province so it will be just the three of us, and Yaya Rose. We had dinner at the Spiral.
Gwen is 3!

Whew! November passed without even a single post from me. But hello there, I’m still alive. With all the sad news that came last November (and we all know it), I didn’t have the energy to go online most of the time and I always get to sleep first than Gwen at night. :p
So let me greet everyone a Merry merry Christmas and an Awesome New Year! I really hope that 2014 will be great for all of us!

After planning to be a minion, a Lalaloopsy or a cute ice cream for Halloween, none of these three choices materialized. Ganun kagulo isip ko, haha. Well, I was prepared for Gwen’s minion costume but when I fitted her yellow clothes and jumper, medyo fail plus Jeff said making a realistic minion goggles will be a challenge (and another challenge for making Gwen wear it).
I’m really this close into buying the ice cream costume at SM but Marsy encouraged me to DIY. She sent me a tutorial for the wig should I decide for a Lalaloopsy costume. Kaya lang wala na talaga akong time sis.
So for this year’s Trick or Treat, it’s Gwen the Explorer!

It’s Halloween once again. If you’re following my halloween posts in the past years, medyo kina-career ko talaga ang costume. Not because may prize or I want Gwen to be Best in Costume, I just enjoy thinking and making her costumes. Nasusulit naman kasi namin ang costume, aside from the trick or treat in the office, nagti-trick or treat din sya sa kung saan kami magbabakasyon. And this year, for the 3rd time, Boracay ulit, promise last Boracay na namin to…
Halloween Rewind:
Trick or treat in the office will be on Friday na, and I’m still at lost with the costume. Medyo fail yung costume na naisip ko… 🙁
I asked Gwen if she wants to be a minion, she said Yes! So I thought a DIY Minion costume will be easy. A jumper, yellow leggings, yellow long sleeved shirt, yellow beanie, gloves, boots and goggles, and voila! I tried putting them on together earlier, medyo off eh… The yellow hues do not match 🙁 Plus, we have no idea how to make a realistic minion goggles.
DIY Minion Costume, fail naman 🙁

Mosquitoes at home are getting immune on Giga Baby Insect Repellant Spray, I used this for Gwen for more than a year. So I tried other brands but I haven’t found one that isn’t sticky. When I bought diapers wand wipes at SM, I found this Tiger Balm Insect Repellent Spray.

In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!
Aside from ramen and sushi, Beef Misono and Gyudon are the other Japanese dishes we love. Few weeks ago, I tried cooking Beef Misono ala Tokyo Tokyo, complete with stir-fried vegetables. Jeff loves vegetables, he likes togue/bean sprouts a lot and he likes his veggies crunchy.
