3rd year

We're celebrating our 3rd year today!

To my dearest, sweetest, & handsomest husband of 3 years, Happy Anniversary!

I love you! =D

Mom's Bday

Mom had 2 days of celebration for her birthday. The first one was when we had dinner in Trinoma and the second, a dinner at home a day after which was her actual birthday. One more year and she'll have a senior citizen card wahooo!

Happy happy birthday to my dearest , sweetest and most beloved mom in the whole world. May God bestow best of health and long life to you. I'll forever be thankful for having a mom like you. I love you! :)

Mighty Run

My comeback run after almost 2 months! We arrived at UP a bit early because we still waited for a while before the race started. H wasn't able to come but good thing my sister Arlene was able to join us for the first time. She was fully geared up and ready to race (with me!). It started a little later than scheduled. 5k and 10k runners started at the same time. We all ran 5k except for Cel who did the 10k.

I was still slow and did not beat my PR (as usual!). Got to really practice.. but the best part of this race is the free super yummy lugaw! Mine has lots of meat (beef and chicken) and egg. There are also free drinks like sanmig coffee and Bacchus energy drink. Cel, who ran the 10k and finished the last among us (of course!) did not get any freebie. So after the race, we headed to the ever reliable Mcdo for another breakfast. And while at Mcdo, my mom texted us that we should drop by her house because she prepared sopas. And we did, so I ate a total of 3 breakfast meals in 3 hours! now I need to run 15k for that :)

Feeling highschool again

It's because I met up with my high school best friends last week. Rachelle and Ann were back for a Christmas vacation so we were almost complete except for my friend Lynnette who's been living in France for years. The good news is she'll come home for a vacation on April. So excited for that one :)

We did the usual thing - dinner and coffee afterwards. It was such a great night. There were a lot of stories to tell and a lot of reminiscing about our high school days. We could have talk for more but it was already late and I have a makulit son who's been calling me that night. He said that mommy needs to go home NOW. :)

Since that night was not enough for us - we are planning another one after Christmas and I hope it pushes through.

Birthdays and Baptism

My weekend was a bit jam-packed with activities with friends and family but minus the hubby. Unfortunately, he has lots of things to do so wasn't able to join us.

Met up with my 2 girlfriends for Janice's bday celebration.

Saturday was Ninong Ferdie's and his daughter Grace's bday celebration in a private resort in Pansol, Laguna. As usual, the one that enjoyed the most was my little Jared :)

Sunday was the baptism of my new God child, baby Ashley. Sorry for the photo as this was the only one I got (taken by my sis). After that we went to the mall for some Christmas shopping and got home late in the evening.

Oh and I watched Harapan the ABS-CBN Presidential Forum that night which got me so tired and sleepy today. But I still don't know who to vote for (Noynoy or Gordon?). Anyway, I'm not yet sure if I can really vote in the coming election.

Okay it's a Monday again and I wish everyone a great week ahead!

Hubby's day

I didn't know that hubby would be home last night so I didn't really prepare for his bday. Good thing I had a backup plan.. I made a mango cheesecake! We celebrated it with MIL and Maneeh, my SIL, who came a little later. I think my FIL was also there to celebrate with us :)

candle blowing is a tough job

blow it baby one more time :)

Random thoughts

1. Jared was so into coloring these past few days. He can sit for a long time with his crayons and papers only.
2. Last weekend, we went to Trinoma to accompany our mom in buying her gifts for friends and colleagues. The good thing about it, we also got to buy Christmas gifts for ourselves courtesy of our santa mom! :)
3. I so miss running.. I hope we can join the Mighty Run on Dec 13. It will be my first run in almost 2 months.
4. I've decided not to go for 10k yet. The last time I registered for 10k did not push through so I thought of it as a sign. (do you believe in signs? me, I'm not sure hehe!) I feel that I am so not ready for it and I have to check with my doctor first if I'm ok to run that distance as I was diagnosed with ischemia before. With a family history of heart problems, I think we should be a little cautious.
5. But I still want a Nike+ Sportband (the pink one!).. or any other watch that can measure my time and distance while running even if I would just run 5k each time.
6. Hubby is busy as a bee. He missed lots of our lakwatsa and will be missing few others too.. sad
7. I miss my friends and I hope to meet them soon.
8. We are supposed to enroll our little one in a play camp this month but I don't think it will still push through in this holiday season. I hope to do it by January.
9. Why do I catch a cold every night usually before bedtime? Is it an allergy?
10. I need to go to my Ob, dentist and cardio. But when?
