Sunday dresses

My baby is getting bigger. I think she will be taller than me when she's 8 years old and I am already contemplating the thought that I have to look up while I scold talk to her in the future.

Pictures taken last Sunday.

She wore: baby Gap dress, shoes from Philippines, pink headband
I wore: $4 dress from Ross, shoes from K-mart

Let's go Outback

Sunday lunch @ Outback.  RC looked mad at the picture below. She was falling asleep in the car and we had to get out.

She definitely got her nose from me. =)

I got this dress from Nordstrom rack, $10. I love that store.  I didn't post food pictures this time because we had steak and the pictures will just look the same as my last entry.

Tomorrow is Monday, I can't wait till it's the weekend again.

Breakfast @ Sam's

Food- eggs benedict/ steak with eggs, hash browns and bread.

RC had bread wtih jelly and an orange juice.

I love how they  have a boat inside their restaurant. If we ate in the boat, it would feel like we're on a breakfast cruise without the ocean.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am having a good one, I did a little shopping after breakfast at Ross downtown. I just realized how long I  haven't gone there, it used to be my favorite store.

Collections..

What are your collections?

I have a small collection of angels, I used to have more but due to moving I needed to give up a lot of them.

Aside from shoes and clothes, I also collect purses, accessories (for me and RC) and some gold jewelries.  I do not have a Prada or LV bag yet, that will have to be in my future. Most of my real gold were given to me by my grandma and my  mom. I think it is time for me to go shopping for my own gold, particulary earrings and rings.

For frugal ladies like me, you can check out treasures under $50. I've been looking at myjewelrybox.com and I'm loving their website.

D & B

Went to D & B resto, bar and arcade with two other mommies (both are gorgeous) and their families. The babies are so cute. It was a fun day. My social life is suddenly improving which is good, I also got invited to a baby shower recently.

As usual, I haven't asked if I can put their pics in here so I cropped the photos.

She was so "malikot" (wriggly) while these pictures below are being taken.

my little drama queen, she wanted me to hold her hand but I can't take a picture of her if I did. The drama lasted for only a few seconds.

learning how to drive

Back to P.I.

All pictures were taken last month. I don't know when will be the next time I can go back, hopefully in 2012. It's going to be awhile before we take another vacation, I don't have much vacation days at work, I maximized it for this trip.

40th

..no, i'm not turning 40 yet, it's just my 40th post (correction, 39th, there was one draft post that was counted) **, hopefully there will be more to come.  I'm still enjoying this and I hope I continue to blog.

--pictures from Sunday morning after going to church--

--we were  swinging together, so sweet--

--she wanted to put her hands so high--

--she was happy and looking at me when I started using the swing too, not just you baby--

--she did not want to go home yet but it was too hot, she got no more drinks--

--Monday, Labor day, no work, the hubby did not date me so I found another date, my coworkers--

--just took some picture before I went to the theatre to see The Last Exorcism, the movie wasn't great but I'm so glad it's not very scary as I thought--

--just noting that I haven't been to the theatre for about two years, I remember the last time I was still pregnant with RC, that's why I can't say no even if I hated going to horror movies--

--RC insisted I should take a picture with her--

Only there

RC's first jeepney ride (Aug 3,2010), we rented this jeep for our personal use that day.

RC's first tricycle ride- Aug 4,2010

Full picture of the trike, this was so early in the morning at a barrio market

bottled Cokes from a sari sari store

Sprite in plastic bag

I picked this background, looks like a squatter's house behind us.

I think the main purpose of my trip was to see our close relatives still living in the Philippines and try to relive the life I had before, I was glad to ride the trike, the jeepney, eat at jollibee's, see familiar places and changes (there was so much changes). I still had some on my list that I was not able to do like try to eat balut, yes I can eat that before as long as the "sisiw" isn't big. I also missed eating street foods like fishballs. I also wished I was able to stay in Manila for awhile, see my old friends from college but that would be tough for RC.

--- and only in the Philippines will I be able to afford a foot spa, full body massage, full body scrub and a simple facial, all for 800 pesos or about $18
