I’ve got cousins who work abroad. Most of them are working in the medical field and it was only every summer that they get a chance to go home here in the Philippines so they can spend time with their respective families. When we, the cousins, get together, we instantly bond through shopping. We get to buy clothes, Cherokee uniforms, shoes, accessories, and eat in a fancy restaurant and have a never ending chit chat. It only happens once a year but we make sure that we get to spend some quality time together.
Pink Ribbon
During my baby’s Christening, I see to it that everything is ready and SPECIAL. Special means unique and different. I have attended a lot of Baby Christening and most of the time the parents just bought those little candles which costs only around 2php each. But during the seminar, I have learned from the nun that we should invest in the candles because a person should only light the same candle during his baptismal, confirmation, and wedding rites.
So I asked the bf to buy those bigger candles for the godparents and the biggest for us (the parents). And of course, I didn’t forget to make it special by tying Pink Ribbons around the candles.

Summer Vacation
SUMMER is not just around the corner, it is somewhere near the BEACH, the SAND and under the SUN. I don’t know why if I think of the word “SUMMER”, I see sun-tanned people in my mind who are wearing bikinis and swimming trunks while playing volleyball near the beach.
Moreover, classes has finally ended, it is summer vacation for the kids and yet, the rain is still pouring. Yeah, I am excited to wake every day to check out if the weather is already fiery HOT and if ever Mr. SUN is up early, but sometimes I am disappointed when I go outside because the weather is cold as ICE.
So, I am thinking of a good, ohhh, BEST PLACE to spend the summer vacation with, not in Orlando because it is too far. I am thinking of somewhere near and cost lesser than having a vacation abroad. I cannot spend my summer vacation in the white beaches of Panglao because it is far, I need to ride a ship before I can get there and you see it will not be feasible for my 1 month old daughter. So, perhaps we could go to Samal Island in Davao which is nearer here in Bukidnon or perhaps Dakak.
Anyway, before I go, let me ask you a question, “What comes to your mind if you hear the word SUMMER?”.

Baby Needs
Aside from the baby clothes, baby diapers and other baby stuffs I have blogged about, I also bought these baby needs when we went to Davao City.
I bought a nail cutter for baby which I surely need. I also bought a cleaning brush for her baby bottles, one baby bottle, a nasal aspirator which is a great help because she doesn’t know how to sneeze on her own just yet. A set of hair brush and comb for her pretty short hair. And a toy, yes she can’t play with it just yet but I get too excited when I was shopping and I just bought it.

Jewelry Box
I am a sucker for cute little boxes, colorful boxes or other shaped things that could keep my things. Sometimes, I even buy things because of the boxes that come with them.
I saw this cute little jewelry box while we are on a store that sells from different unique items, from children’s toys to cross-stitch frames, and from stickers to gift boxes, and I wonder if ever they also sell Rocky Patel because they almost have everything in their store.
This box costs me around $5 and its a steal. It is where I kept my jewelleries now:)

Pink Pillow and Blanket Set for Baby
It’s Pink Fridays and I have another pink item to share. My baby’s Pink Pillow and Blanket. I bought this when we went to Davao City to shop.
I love this one because the design is simple and the colors are easy on my eyes. Aside from that, I can easily check out if there are ants near my baby because there are no dark colors mixed with the blanket and pillow.

Ideal Gifts for Mothers
When I was young, it was hard for me to choose what kind of gifts should I buy for my mom. But I think she is thankful for whatever I gave her because in my heart I gave it with full of love and respect for her. I believe I am thoughtful and I get it from her. I gave my mom a lot of cards and letters when I was a little girl. I also used to give her cards made of cross-stitch.
Now that I am a mother myself, I realized what are ideal gifts I should buy for my mother. Ideal gifts for mothers like me are things that we can use and we really need. Before, I used to buy mugs and cute pillows for mom’s birthday but now I buy her bags and sandals or slippers because she needs it more than the mugs (yes, she is a coffee-addict but she only needs one mug for her cup of coffee I believe).
Nowadays, I can easily check out great Gifts for Mum online because of The White Company, a site who offers a lot of great gift ideas for mothers.

Goodbye March, Hello April
March is a very memorable month for me. Why? Because last March 17, 2012 I gave birth to my adorable baby girl. I have been praying for a girl and God gave us a baby girl.
I had a normal delivery, thanks to God and after 2 days we are out of the hospital already. We are planning her Christening already and we have chosen to have her baptized this coming Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012.
We only chose 4 godfather and 4 godmother for our baby Gerayah and we hope that they could come this coming Sunday.

Tiny Little Hands
This picture was taken using my iPhone 4S.

I took it while we were still in the hospital, just after I gave birth to my little baby girl. I would treasure this photo forever simply because it shows love and affection of a mother to her daughter, doesn’t it? And watching this picture every now and then, makes me realize how lucky I am to be her mother.

Fashionable Scents
Aside from shopping, diamonds and stilettos, women loves fragrances. I am a woman, and yes I love to use perfumes and colognes to smell good. I don’t have BO (bad body odor) but I still use perfumes and colognes to make myself smell great because they make me feel good too.
I love to use perfumes which smells natural fruits or flowers because I have a sensitive nose. I have tried Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea and I loved it, I am planning to try other scents such as Harvey Prince fragrances. Sometimes, perfumes have the power to evoke different emotions if we smell them. That is why it is important for a woman to choose wisely what perfume to use. We can wear perfumes which have the power to seduce, and there are also perfumes which can calm our minds if we smell them. All in all, scents are always fashionable and it will never go out of style.
