Happy Weekend!

I'm enjoying Twitter so much (follow me!) I'm starting to neglect my blog! Currently signed up to Pinterest and Instagram as well! It's addicting.


We're yaya-less this weekend, so it's QT time for me and the BOS. But Y has coughs and colds. I think she got it from me. 


It's gonna be our 3rd year anniversary on Sunday! Whooot!


That's all for now!


Happy Weekend!

A Great Weekend It Was!

We were all looking forward for last weekend because Shobe and little G were sleeping over at my parent's house. I'm so glad we moved back here (we live in the same village).


It was a slow Saturday. We were just waiting for them to arrive. BOS didn't go to work because there was something going on in our house. Putting of something. I asked him to stay home because I can't watch the men working and having quality time with Y at the same time.

Playing in her room on her play matWith the men working in our house and a construction work in front of our house, Y can't get a decent nap! Ayayay... when she woke from her nap. I asked yaya to give her afternoon bath so they can go to my parent's house and wait there.

At around 4PM, they finally arrived! My little nephew's so big! He's three months old but heavier than Y! Haha.. Can't compare because he's formula fed. But OMG, he's the cutest! Doesn't look Chinese at all! Si Y, unang tingin pa lang super Chinese na!

Gwapito!

At around 6PM, we had to go home because Y's sleepy na. We didn't sleep over because there's no more room! And besides, Y won't sleep for sure. Masyadong chismosa and curious si Y! We just went back there the following morning!

Supladang bata c Y! She won't make pansin her cousin. She won't even look. She doesn't care that I was carrying G! Haha.. It's funny and cute! We took turns carrying G. My yaya was also excited to carry G that she was the one who fed him. Shobe has no yaya. Sadly, they had to go early. They have to go back to the province.

When they left, we also went home because it was Y's meal time na. After her meal, we went down again because we're having lunch naman at Amma's house (yes, we all live in one village).
Y also ate pa! Rice rolls and banana. My achi was playing with her, and squeezing her. Cute.

While having lunch, I said I want to take Y out but I don't know where. I suggested Greenbelt 5! So after Y's afternoon nap and bath, we went out!

While my mom and sister were shopping. Me, BOS and I went shopping on our own. We went to Toys R Us and bought Y a toy! :) The only toys I bought her were her toy keys and Mr. Sun. But since she's in the hitting/slapping phase, I want to buy her something that she can hit on and make a sound! We bought her a xylophone!


After shopping, we had early dinner at Toast Box! I had Nasi Goreng and Horlicks while BOS had their Laksa and Milk Tea. Sorry no pictures because I was also feeding Y that time. While I was eating, Y was getting bored na and I was running out of "toys" for her to play, so I gave her the cucumber on my plate (see picture above). I know food are not toys... sorry.


After Toast Box and a few more store stops, we went home.


It was a great weekend. Hope we get to see the little man more often but he's in the province. :( Maybe we can pay them a visit on one of the coming long weekends!

Y is 9 Months!

Happy 9 Months Bulilit!!!!

Tweet Tweet!

I'm finally joining the Twitter bandwagon! I took over BOS's twitter since he's not using it anymore.

Breastfeeding Ad (on the Back of a Bus)

I saw this breastfeeding ad this morning while driving to work. I had to take a picture. (May reflection nga lang ng parking ticket, sorry!)

"INAY, hindi hayop ang anak mo! Kaya pasusuhin si baby ng GATAS NG INA lamang."

The Satchel Brouhaha

It all started with the Mulberry Alexa (for me, at least). For me this is the satchel of all satchels! I'm still lusting on this bag. My shobe has one. I'm inggit! LOL! It's a perfect casual everyday bag. I like it's slouchy, I like the hardware, basta I like it!

Then, I saw the PS1 on my achi. It's super nice also!

Then came the Cambridge Satchel fever! I knew about Cambridge Satchel way before it became famous and available here in Manila because of this fashion blog I was reading. I find it boxy but the colors are super nice! I think it will make a nice laptop bag for my Macbook and it's not as pricey as the Alexa or the PS1.

But since I can't afford the bags mentioned above, I opted for a Topshop Satchel! Which reminds me that I should use it more. It's not as roomy as I would like it to be kasi! I bought the grey one but I still want a brown/tan satchel so the search continues...

 

Frances recently revealed her bespoke handmade leather satchel (also here). It's super nice! Love the color! But I want it in a bigger size. It's totally and locally handmade! I can't wait to see more colors and other sizes. No price yet for the bags.

And then, I made another discovery. I don't know how I knew about School of Satchel, but this is very similar to the Cambridge Satchel from the looks of it. A great alternative to the Cambridge, in my opinion. They currently have four colors only and I like the navy one!

My favorite online stores have their own version of the satchel. Topshop and Charles & Keith also have satchels in their collection.

Satchels are everywhere! It's like the oxfords/brogues fad! I'm still looking for the "one" satchel. But with all these brouhaha, my heart still longs for an Alexa!
