Saturday 9: Sweet Soul Music

1. Do you listen to music at work, and if so, do you use a mp3 player, play it through your office computer, or do you listen to it collectively via a separate radio you keep nearby?

I don’t work + mostly when I do article writing work at home, I do it in the dead of night with absolute silence lest I want to wake the baby up. But I do have a separate player (my old + dependable Ipod) that housed my massive collection of songs!

2. Tell us something about people that you absolutely hate.

I really hate irresponsibility + insensitivity in people, never fails to ruin my day!

3. What is something someone has done that you’d like the world to know about?

I’d like the world to know that my son turned my whole life around + made it better!

4. Where is your favorite place to sit when at home?

In bed to cuddle with my baby or in his playmat during playtime, anywhere next to my son is the best place to sit when at home, really!

5. How did you come up with the title of your blog?

It just sort of popped into my mind one time,” mum” since I simply loved the way Brits spelled it + “writes” since this will be the place where I will be writing my two cents worth on any topics under the sun…

6. Tell us about the one who got away.

I have nothing to tell about it…

7. Have you ever had a big birthday party?

Yeah, on my very first one, where I had balloons + I bet everyone in the barrio is invited to come. I hardly have recollections of it though, thank heavens for the photograph my father took, that memory will always be remembered.

8. What was the biggest bash you’ve ever attended?

Have no recollections at the moment.

9. With my kids and an always changing life, I find myself sometimes unable to focus! Do you have that problem, too?

Yeah, a lot! Especially when you have all of your concerns traipsing in your mind like an ill-fitting marching band! But I simply take deep breaths to clear the cobwebs + get ready to tackle the most pressing task at hand.

Love + Light,

pink friday:pink mementos

For this week’s Pink Friday I have my pink tokens from last week’s PMC Grand EB! I know I have yet to write about the wonderful experience in Kamayan – Megamall last Sunday + yes, it is in the works, will be posting it after this one 😉

Back to my lovely pink tokens here,  they are :

  • the lovely pink paper soaps in a tube bottle by equally lovely Mommy Cherry,
  • the eco-friendly ecobag with the cute PMC logo, with the “C” being all pink from Mommy Peh,
  • Mommy Rossell‘s (who can’t join, by the way, since her aunt passed away ~ our condolences again, Mommy) cutey flipflops keychain,
  • the interesting bookmark, hand-made with love, by Mommy C5 (did you know that it is made up of keyboard scraps + magnetic beads?), cool stuff really + i love the cool note too ;),
  • of course, Mommy Rubz gave us a cute, little cuddly bear apart from this uber cute pink business card,
  • Sis Ning‘s fab calling card, with the pink lady designed by no-less than her better half. You forgot to give me a token sis, how could you, when we were sitting next to each other the entire time? You owe me one! 🙁 ,
  • Mommy Iris is the best token giver with this KSA Magic 3 in 1 soap, which by the way disappeared the  moment it got out of my bag into my sis’ beauty loot! 😉

I’ll be featuring all of my other PMC tokens + moments in a few, meanwhile, for more pink stuffs click on this lovely:

gt:food to die for!

April 7 – Food

April 14 – Celebrity

April 21 -Clothing

April 28 – Gadget

Am totally lovin’ every bit of this blogmeme (from the uber cute badge, to ultra-pretty font – that I just can’t resist so I had to copy it into my post – hope you don’t mind sis Kaye ;))

And here is my entry for this week’s topic, my favorite, too! FOOD!

One of the many things that come to mind is pasta, I can eat pasta all day, in any form: macaroni, spaghetti, pesto, penne, etcetera, etcetera! I simply love ’em with any accoutrements, hotdogs, cheese + lots of cheese, dried basil + tomatoes, tuna! Ohh, I can eat just about anything pasta! Now, writing about them is making me hungry + making my mouth water!

Am craving Pizza Hut’s spaghetti with meatalls!Nom, nom! I can go on + on about other food items but I think I’ll just stick with this one, my ultimate favorite!

If bread is the king of Italian cuisine then pasta is the queen!

Looking forward to your to-die-for food entry! Click on the GT badge for more!
