"My daughter's photos, once a week, every week, in 2014."

This was taken at Johnny Rockets in Eastwood during the Bloggers Day for Mommy Bloggers Philippines. It was two days after our sad pet story but I still decided to go. Attending events and just simply being out of the house could help us move on. My buddy didn't disappoint me, she cooperated and behaved like how I told her to be. It got better when one of the restaurant staff handed us a loot bag for kids. Inside it were popcorn, chocolate and an activity book with stickers! I think she liked the stickers. Don't you think? ;)

Make Your Home Healthier and Safer with Lysol

So I’m a self-proclaimed domestic queen, right? So you must probably think I have the cleanest home, right? Yeah, yeah, it can be true. I hate dirt, I have OC tendencies and clutter turns me off big time! This is kinda cliché but I somehow believe in this: Cleanliness is next to godliness. I mean, sloth is one of the seven deadly sins. And having mess, garbage and germs in your body, home and surroundings are all results of laziness. Get the point? Wait, wait. I have my share of ‘organized clutter’, too, like lately (hihi) but I’m generally into cleaning. Come and visit my humble kingdom and you’ll see. I’m also glad my husband’s not that Mr. Scatter Everywhere kind of guy. His car’s interior’s the proof of it (kisses to you my Cpt R). 

But guess what? Cleanliness is not enough. In fact, according to Lysol, it’s just the first step.

Blissmakers Tea Time at La Creperie, New Manila

I used to complain a lot about how things happened in my life. I used to rant almost every day in social media. I used to allow negative people to completely affect me. I used to block blessings because I was a bitch like that. All these had changed when I decided to make my real and royal life blissful.

"My daughter's photos, once a week, every week, in 2014."

This should have went live on Monday but because of a recent domestic (rather, animalistic) happening in our royal kingdom, I didn't have time time to post it and made kwento. Yep, we watched Rio 2 last weekend and since this is Pia's second movie in the cinema house, I tried to observe her behavior while enjoying the film. She was less jumpy and only changed seats once. She didn't eat the plain popcorn that I bought though as she wanted it cheese-flavored. Oops, I didn't keep what I've promised from her first movie experience! Well, I bought her Krispy Kreme donuts after to compensate and it instantly made her happy. For her, having her favorites makes the evening full and cool. Oh, something really bad happened to us on the way to the mall prior the movie date. Will tell you about that soon.  

I'm proud to have the world's toughest job!

It's almost 5am but I still don't want to sleep yet as I miss blogging and blog-hopping soooo much! I saw this video in Mommy Shorts (if you don't read her, I suggest you to 'cause she's the awesomest!) and it welled my eyes while watching it. It's just so timely that I've been having that urge to go back to the corporate arena because I want to help my husband in our finances, especially now that we're planning to buy a house. Being at home is great than being stuck in traffic, being with the kid 24/7 keeps me sane than having to call home from work almost every freaking hour; but being those means not being of any help with regard to the financial matters of the family. That makes me feel useless at times but after watching this video, I kinda felt like it pat my shoulder for having the world's toughest job. Ever. 

Sniff-sniff... Makes me miss Mama, too. Cheers to us, my fellow hardworking mommas! ♥

Life Goes On

So we lost our pet named Pepper.

I may look okay outside (though the huge pimples on my face are quite an evidence on how stressed I am lately), in truth, I'm totally crushed inside. I was doing two baskets full of laundry yesterday and whenever I'd glance at where our pup's cage used to be, I can feel a strong tug in my heart. I can't do anything with it anymore but to let out a heavy sigh. The Barangay Police did not respond to my complain. My co-pet parent, R, did his best to find our furbaby (in his very James Bond way) despite his busyness in military school. Sophia fervently prayed, and continues to do, that Pepper will come back. Unfortunately, all to no avail. 

I finally felt that I need to do what I should do. And that is to let go, get over it and move on. After all, life goes on.

We love David's Salon in Marikina!

When Pia had her first haircut done in a salon, I was so disappointed! The salon's airconditioner wasn't working well, the staff weren't accommodating and my girl's haircut looked awful. So when my husband and I tried out David's Salon and realized how good they were, we went back and this time, as a family.
