I guess that this Father's Day card that the kids made for you last year sums it up: We Love You!

Ten Things I Would Change About Myself
Feb 24, 2011
2. I will try to care less about what other people think and just do the things that will make me happy. Of course, that doesn't mean that I will hurt them. For example, if I want to travel and I bought the tickets and I will pay for the trip, it shouldn't matter to me that other people say I travel a lot! I do and I do so with my own money so it is my life! If they have a problem with it, then it is their problem.
3. I should try to take care of my appearance more. I am turning 35 next year and I don't want to look it! Ha ha!
4. I should take my sarcasm down a few notches. Really.
5. I will try to save a little more.
6. I will try to pay more attention to my loved ones and be really there for them. Being in the moment is sometimes not my strongest suit. When we are in a beautiful place, instead of enjoying the place, I would sometimes wish I have my camera with me because I would love to blog about it.
7. I should eat less and exercise more.
8. I better enroll in an MBA now so that I can get that promotion. Or should I try sixth form college London? I should really do something soon!
9. I should learn to simplify and get rid of a lot of clutter in my life, both literally and figuratively.
10. I should be a little less arrogant, a little more caring and lot more giving!

Wednesday Happy Thoughts
Feb 23, 2011

1. Finding the perfect package for our Palawan trip for two. The pension is just cozy and I just wonder if they have a Patio Heater at this cold weather? If not, we will just bring jackets and stay indoors in the evening.
2. Delicious lunch at Eat Well for my boss Gina's birthday celebration. I really love their Eggplant hotpot and steamed fish in garlic! Yum!
3. Money from Paypal! Am just waiting to withdraw from my BDO account anytime now.
4. Facial weekend date with my sister and sister-in-law. This is my belated birthday treat to Kris who has always been a big help to me. She is very responsible and can be easily depended on to take care of the kid's school work.
5. Losing 5 pounds in two-weeks. I know its the easiest to lose, but I am hoping to lose 3 more pounds before March 4.
6. Loving green tea, our even house tea or any tea for that matter. I even love drinking warm water now instead of cold.
7. Goodnight kisses from the kids. Even if I sleep earlier than them sometimes like last night when I had a headache, they would still kiss me goodnight!
8. Unlimited internet access at home (prepaid, but still!) and fighting with the kids as who goes first, ha ha ha!
9. Paid vacation leaves. And more vacations too!
10. New shoes from Adidas. Shhhh, my husband doesn't know it yet.

Palawan, Here We Come!
Feb 22, 2011
Package A
Inclusions:
4 days 3 nights room accommodation (Good for 2 pax)
with Daily Breakfast
Underground River Tour
Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour
P 8,000.00
It also comes with free airport transfers and are also inclusive of taxes. I think is a great deal already because the Underground River tour costs P1500 per person and the Honda Bay tour costs P1,100 per person. We will just do our own City Tour and I have already listed down the places to visit. I hope that my husband will enjoy our belated Valentine's celebration!

Diaper Rash Solution
Feb 12, 2011
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
Motherhood is one of my life's greatest joy but it has also given me the greatest of challenges. Can you imagine feeling so helpless because you cannot make your baby stop crying? And what if the cause of his crying is your own carelessness? That would surely break your heart! Having a diaper rash is just one of the many conditions that can harm your baby and it is usually preventable. However, there are instances when we are too busy and are not able to change the baby's diaper on time making him susceptible to rashes. If I had known about Boudreaux's Butt Paste when I was having these troubles, then my babies could have been spared the pain of the rashes. I could have been spared of many countless sleepless nights too! My cousin from the US gave my niece a very handy flip top tube when she visited with her daughter. She saw that my cousin was still using petroleum jelly on the rashes and that just makes the rashes more itchy because moisture is trapped and the rashes don't heal at all! We were laughing at the name butt paste but it was indeed a paste that heals those delicate baby butts! Now my niece sleeps comfortably and she has no more rashes after less than a week of use. I told my cousin that I will be sure to recommend Boudreaux's Butt Paste to my mom friends because they can get free samples too! All they have to do is visit Boudreaux's Butt Paste website to get their free samples! I am sure they will believe me because this product has been featured on Oprah, Tonight Show and People Magazine to name a few.
Mommy Moments: Dear Baby
Feb 11, 2011
I thank the Lord every night in my prayers for giving me the joy of becoming of your mother. There are really no words to express how a mother feels for her children but please know that I would lay my life in a heartbeat for each of you. You are my life's greatest joy and I can not ask for anything more but for you to grow up into happy and contented adults. I wish for you to become what you wish to be: as long as you are happy, then I happier for you!

Mommy Moments: Love Song
Feb 4, 2011

Taylor Swift
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that
(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Wont let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out
Someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school
(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Taylor Swift Never Grow Up lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/taylor-swift-never-grow-up-lyrics.html
It could stay this simple
No one's ever burned
Nothing's ever left you scarred
Even though you want to, just try to never grow up
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone
So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up
It could still be simple
(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heat
And even throuhg toyu want to, please try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just never grow up
