Coach Wristlets

Almost though not quite... but definitely too pretty to resist!

Day 151

Bielle wasn't spared. The varicella virus got to her, too. I visited her today and am glad she is doing okay. A few lesions here and there, low grade fever, no loss of appetite... I am sure she will be well real soon.

Day 146

To be featured in one's favorite teen magazine is probably one of the most thrilling things that could happen in a young girl's life. This truly thrilled Iana to the max when Total Girl's June issue came out. Did us, too!

Day 144

It was always black, brown or red for me. Always solid colored. But today, I made the switch and went for the printed, floral at that!

Day 129

And to the most amazing woman in my life, Happy Mother's Day!

Day 102

New teeny tiny toy... no, not the doll. She is sitting on it. Thanks, Rommel!

Day 90

This sight broke my heart. Margaux cut herself and had a very deep laceration on her right front leg. It bled like hell and I got so scared I was in a panic state. Mon was able to struggle with her just so he could apply pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. Thank God the bleeding stopped and Mon was able to dress the wound, but definitely not before a ton of squirming and wrestling.

Day 86

I was happy to grab this bag suspender I saw at a thrift store in Greenhills. It is very practical and it does work, surprisingly! I am definitely going back to that store and grabe some more. One for each bag I have. Yes, it is that cheap.

Day 82

It was a moment of nostalgia for me when I saw this shelf in National Bookstore. I actually wanted to grab one and read! This Nancy Drew Mystery Stories was what started me on reading all the way back during my elementary years in school.

Day 65

I have allergies to NSAIDs or pain relievers like Ponstan, Flanax, Midol, Alaxan... Only Paracetamol, specifically Biogesic, works for me. Unfortunately, I don't know all the stuff I am allergic to. Oral medications and IM injections save the day for me whenever my allergies start to flare up.

Day 60

This is why I love Sun.

Day 55

I turned 43 today not mindful of the wrinkles and lines that I am starting to see in the mirror. For like this tree's rings and impressions on its trunk, they tell me and constantly remind me that I have come a long way and weathered my life's many seasons.

Day 54

I renewed my driver's license today. And for the first time ever, I got the plastic right away! (but not after a two and a half hour wait...)

Day 53

When "slipping-in-the-shower-and-hitting-one's-head-because-there-is-no-rubber-matting-on-the-bathroom-floor" news on some celebrity like this is able to hit the front page of our broadsheets, I am glad I don't read newspapers anymore.

Day 48

We have been having homemade sandwiches in "his" and "her" color-coded plastic bags for lunch for the past few months now. It is like having a picnic everyday!

Day 47

Sixteen years ago today was E-day!

Day 38

I have decided to keep my Palm TX PDA. I was almost convinced to go back to the old notebook type of planner because it now comes in cool and colorful designs and sizes, but I don't think switching back would be worth it. My PDA does so much more than just keep my appointments for me. Games.... Personal Files.... Bank records.... ToDo and ToBring lists... recipes... and so much more...

... and yes, I can even surf with it! I would be a total mess without my Palm.

Day 32

This time, I mean it. I am going on a diet starting tonight. I want to... I have to... I must! So my new motto in life... Everything in half in every meal..... for starters, just a half cup of rice tonight and every night.

Day 31

(thanks to M for capturing the moment for me and Disney)

I may not have taken this shot for today but special moments like this are worth sharing, don't you think? A man's bestfriend's hug is as warm, as heartfelt and as human as any other person's hug... maybe even more...

Day 30

My high school friends and I met at Murray and D'Vine restaurant in Serendra which serves gourmet burgers and wines.... The service was good ... the food was even even greater ... but what was greatest was the company of people you have loved all these years. Real friends stay as friends forever. And just like wine, they get even better with age.
