matching mum + baby orange shirt

03.20.2012 by // 10 Comments

Ever since my son was big enough to tag along whenever we go out or attend an event, I make it a point that we come out dressed in matching colors. That is why I normally get him something which I can match with my existing stuffs or, if not, I’d buy something of my own to match his. That is why I am so delighted when my sister told me she got me this orange shirt a few weeks back. I do not have any orange stuff in my closet that is why I haven’t paired anything with my little man’s cool orange shirt! I was so excited to wear it that I washed it the next day + we are off in our matching orange shirts that weekend!

Two Saturdays ago, we were able to wear the matching orange shirts again when we attended Expo Kid at the Rockwell Tent {check out my previous post about it}. We were not able to look around as much as we’d like as we arrived just in time for the HAPI homeschooling presentation. But, we managed to catch a children’s presentation of Hansel + Gretel, which the little man totally loved, he couldn’t tear his gaze from the stage. It left me with no choice but to stay there + watch the talented kids sing + dance, with those amazing outfits, to boot! It also left me with no chance to browse around some more.

It was a good thing, though, that I was able to buy the little man a new Firefly toothbrush {which I shall blog about soon} + a Cars2 magazine {which the little man is busy reading in the photo, see?} which he spotted at the ABS-CBN Publication booth. We have also snapped a few photos in front of the Cars2 standee, which I shall share with you as soon as I find the time!

So, what do you think? Do we look good in orange or what?

my new yellow watch

03.09.2012 by // 6 Comments

I have mentioned in my previous post that I rarely buy new stuff for myself + that when I do I almost always get the ones which are on sale. In January, I saw this yellow watch in one of those groupon sites I frequent for best online deals + I instantly fell in love with it! Yellow is one of my favorite colors + I felt like I have to get one of those. It was also a good thing that they are up at 50% off, otherwise, I wouldn’t have bought it {yes, I am that cheap! }

Anyway, apart from its color, I also love this watch since it is a sports watch + I can just simply wear with just about anything: jeans, shorts + plain tees {my kind of fashion!}. Very versatile, which sort of works for me since I am not really into going through loads of accessories to choose from every time I dress up

My watch came in the mail a lot earlier than scheduled, so two thumbs up to that online groupon site! It also comes with this cute brown box, + this tiny orange pillow, to boot!

What do you say, do you think my watch looks good on me?

on taking vitamins

02.21.2012 by // 7 Comments

Back in the days I am not really that much of a fan of medicine + pills, the less I do about them, the better. I am not really that sickly + I would only have the proverbial cough + colds once or twice in a year + that is it, otherwise I have a clean bill of health all-year round.

It was an entirely different ballgame when I got pregnant. It became a daily part of my system to pop those supplements + vitamins to ensure that I + the little peanut inside me will be in the pink of healthy in the duration of my pregnancy + beyond.

There were more pills + prescription drugs when I gave birth as I was a C-section. Antibiotics need to be taken a few times everyday to be sure the wounds would heal faster + I won’t have any infections or other complications.

Nowadays, I take Vitamin C daily just to be sure I will be less susceptible to diseases + to give my immune system a much needed boost. + about 4 days ago, I have also started taking Vitamin E. Apart from being good for the heart, Vitamin E is also good for the skin. With all the stress full-time parenting entails, with having less time to care for myself, I needed that extra help to keep my skin healthy-looking + well-hydrated. This particular vitamin I am taking even promises younger-looking skin in 10 days, so I guess we’ll see in a few days if it is effective for me

It was also a good thing that this particular brand of Vitamin E is currently having a promo. I got 4 pieces for free when I purchased 16 pieces, that’s a lot of savings already

What vitamins + supplements are you taking?

i heart california maki!

02.01.2012 by // 10 Comments

Yes, I do! I have been on a roll since December when I tasted these delectable California Maki from the Christmas fair at our town’s capitol. I was so smitten I had to go back to the fair a few times just so I can buy some more of these goodies. I only tried the ones in Tokyo, Tokyo + I must say the ones sold locally is at par with those sold at the famous food chain. They are freshly prepared, in fact, when I bought my very first batch, the owner of the booth has just finished preparing a new batch of makis to sell. She even provided free sampler, which I cannot turn down, of course. A 6-piece pack sells for 50 bucks {about $1.25}, which I guess fits my budget perfectly.

I have been craving for these little orange goodies, that I was glad I found some at the supermarket when we went to the mall on Sunday. I bought a 10-piece pack for Php 90. It was good but I find it a little dry for my taste. I ate the other half for dinner + ate the remaining the next day.

I can eat California Maki everyday + I won’t get tired of it, but, sadly, I can only buy it from the grocers whenever we visit the mall. I hope I can find the seller from the trade fair soon enough. Or maybe, I’d search for recipes online + see if I can make a homemade version of it! ^_^
