DIY Balloon Decor

I couldn’t sleep last night…

Was home at around 11:00 PM from Direk Bert De leon's show at Hard Rock Café –no, it was not a valentine date or dinner..rather it was a valentine work for me.

And so while hubby is going gaga over this racing game on his mobile phone, I took out the 10 pieces small balloons I bought later that afternoon and made him look for my handy balloon inflater which took us mga 15 minutes pa before we were able to figure out saan namin nilagay. Haay..may memory gap na yata kami pareho.

I was greatly inspired by Kathy's entry to her blog about their DIY balloon décor on her daughter 1st birthday. I learned that she enrolled herself in youtube university so I enrolled myself too.

And here’s my first project finished at around 1:30 AM

My first DIY flower balloon...what do you think?

I might be trying my hands on the "column" tonight.

high hopes

I still feel weak today but a lot better than yesterday.

I have to cut my office work at 11:00 AM yesterday because I suddenly felt so weak, I threw up many times and I was so cold.

So I rushed home and tried to rest after answering some pahabol phone calls from the office..you see..I really have no right to get sick…

Hubby was so worried, he keep on asking if there is any pain…actually I wonder why I feel so weak and kept on vomiting pero I don’t feel any pain in the stomach or anywhere..

So..the result of all this vomiting-all the people around us suspected I might be pregnant. It’s funny and it’s so wishing..kasi ako mismo was in high hope and whispering..sana nga..sana nga. Even one of my boss clapped pa when I told him I have to go home because I don’t feel good..sabay sabi..”buntis ka na?” haay talaga…

But it’s weird, this morning I woke up and surprised that I don’t feel any panlalamig ng sikmura…I don’t feel throwing up at all..but still weak because I think I got so tired yesterday.

I just had a preg test last Saturday and it’s negative..

I don’t think I’m ready to have another test this weekend..but I’m planning to have one next weekend.

Sana nga..magdilang anghel lahat ng tao sa paligid ko..:)

Food tasting with Jerlyn

My very good friend Jerlyn’s here already.. 3 weeks before her wedding..yay!

Yesterday, we went food tasting at Pearl Garden Hotel their chosen venue, so far she liked the place naman, I’m quite worried before because I know it’s different when you see things in personal and not only thru websites or pictures, We booked Pearl Garden while she was still in Georgia.

This is Pearl Garden's function room, it's an L type and can accomodate up to 200 guests.

And all their wedding things, she only got to finally touch and was able to take a closer look only yesterday, the invitations, the pouches, the barongs and all.

I believe she’s quite satisfied naman specially with the food from pearl Garden, except for the lentil soup which she eventually decided to change.She opted na lang for the creamy crab and corn soup.

This is the moonriver restaurant located at the 2nd floor, where we had our food tasting..

I like the chicken cordon bleu and the beef with broccoli…although looks like its broccoli with beef..sa sobrang dami ng broccoli nila. Hehe! But over all masarap naman ang food nila.

I'll se if they will deliver again after Jerl's wedding. The first wedding I had there was Raffy and Sharon's wedding and haven't had any bad feedbacks naman.Hope they'll do better this time because Jerlyn and Lester are very dear friends of mine.

Feeding Frenzy

Nope, this is not about that game where you feed your fish in aquarium but this is what we did last Friday night till Sunday evening.

Friday was my birthday and though I’m very much married now, my ever loving sister made sure they’ll have something pa rin for my birthday and this time, she and mom made spaghetti and ube halaya (which was so yummy) made from the real ube crops transported pa from our province. I am blessed to have such sweet family.

And since our Pastor Mar and I have the same birthdate, double celebration din kami sa center. Friday night, after the prayer meeting, eating to the max kami, our Head Pastor gifted us with a very delicious cake from Becky’s Kitchen, one of the most yummy cake I ever tasted! so love the coffee taste of it.

And I made fruit salad..na pinag fiestahan ng mga boys, specially hubby and neil.
And there were also other foods na gift from other church members, kilawin, gatang tilapia, laing,pansit and many more.

Hubby and I feasted on the cake and salad till Saturday.

To all those who made this feeding frenzy memorable..thank you so much from the bottom of my stomach..este my heart. Love you all!!!

on alarm clocks and waking up

Just a quick note before I go home..yes I do blogging at the office..and yes you can conclude that I am a bad employee.

I wish we have dsl connection at home so I can update there but up to this time, I guess the application still pending. We have terminated the Smart bro connection months ago for oh so many reasons…

Time check : 4:55

That means I still have at least an hour and a half here.

Today, I came in late..oh no..I really am a bad employee..haha! that’s why I was never a model employee even once.. I am late because I woke up late. I was actually shocked when I opened my eyes at 8:45 on our clock.

Kasi naman, I slept late again, around 1 AM na yata, spend time chatting with Lester and hubby while finishing the yema.. but the real reason I wasn’t able to wake up in time is the alarm clock..I am the kind of person who depends in alarm clock for me to wake up.

For the past two mornings now, hubby is setting the alarm at 4:00 AM, he said he wants to pray and do quiet time, so whenever that alarm clock rings, I wake up too and wake up hubby..but you can guess what happens next..he doesn’t wake up, he will only turn the alarm off…resulting to me waking up late for office because the alarm was not set into 7:00 AM, my regular waking up time.

Hehe! Tonight I know he’ll not do it again..I gave him a serious warning this morning..:) he knows he has to set the alarm again at 7:00

Time check : 5:05

I still have plenty of time, I’ll go back to work now.

BIGGEST HEART

thank you Nadia for this biggest heart award.

It's a pleasure to share this award to mec -you really have a big heart sis. this is for you.

My best gift ever

It’s 2 more days before my birthday..
And I know I have already received the best gift way back April 2005..and it is still the best gift I have now..that is where the title of this blog came from “Regalo ng Diyos (God’s gift)”

My husband is the best gift I got and he’ll always be.

It is a wonderful feeling knowing I am number one in his life..second from the Lord of course.



It is a blessing to wake up every morning with his kisses and hugs..
It is a blessing to have him praying for us regularly.
It is a blessing seeing Him so dependent on the Lord in every aspect of our married life.
It is a blessing hearing him singing songs for the Lord, composing song from his heart and making melodies from his heart.
It is a blessing to have his hands hold mine when I worry.
It is a blessing to have him assure me that everything’s gonna be fine when we’re facing trials.
It is a blessing knowing that his love for me won’t change with or without our own kids in the future.

And for all those blessings..Thank you Lord..indeed you love me so much and that you only want the best for me..

You have given me the best husband. :)

AWARD!!!

thanks so much melisse for this award!! appreciate it with all my heart!




I'm also giving this award to mari, to kathy and to jennie . Mga sis 5 star naman talaga ang mga blogs nyo..:) you girls deserve this award I think more than I do..hehe!

Early birthday blues

It's already February, ist day of the month and 6 days to go before my birthday..

and I don’t know what’s happening to me…because I usually don’t have issues about my birthdays..I used to wait for it with eager anticipation specially during our AGL days..because my birthday means one big celebration in the house..friends from Midway and AGL will plan about this weeks before..what to cook as pulutan, who will cook and what to drink…but life is different now..for one, I have long forgotten alcohol..and second I don’t live in AGL now.

so why am I having this kind of feeling?Could it be because I’m again getting a year older and still no baby news yet? Not even a hint of conception or whatsoever?????

And everyone as in everybody that knows me and my husband keep on asking about us getting pregnant???And every time my tummy aches..someone will quote..uy baka buntis ka na? ”hindi po..medyo masama lang po talaga tiyan ko”…..

I’m turning 35 soon…Mom had me when she was 34..and I was the youngest in the family. My eldest sister had her first born when she was 34 and they have 2 kids now..

I love my life now..the turn around of things for me..from a life of no direction to a purpose driven life..God has indeed in control..and I’ve just got to re-assure my self with that.
