A day with my tita elvie

With 2 weeks of "NO work" , i was so bored went to Sto Tomas Batangas to finally visit my tita elvie's house...when they used to live near my mom's house...i used to spend alot of times with her...mostly watching movies...we love to make comments after each movie, like giving own analysis on why this scene happened or what woulda been a nicer ending things like that...and thats what i really missed so much...someone that i can talk after each movie....i so got to used to watching movies alone...and just used for making me fall asleep...
anyways...we cooked lugaw with tokwa and we talked like crazy...i miss her loud mouth!!
she asked me stay for the night after playing tong its (of course i won again...i do all the time hehe) and after watching twilight ( i saw that movie for like 100 times already)
and then we bought pandesal at 5:30 am ,,it was so cold there that it felt like i was in Baguio with airconditioning. i went home at lunchtime, she wants me to stay for lunch but i know my mom is already breathing fire so...anyways..i had so much fun....

its my birthday its my birthday

i spent the night at Vj's house and she cooked sopas for me, and she didn't even knew that it was my fave...and then my teammates and cool TM bought a chocolate cake for me, ill show you the pics later and they sang happy birthday to me while im on a call!!! hehehe so happy happy today

It's Rosebelle's Birthday

i already planned on what cake to bake for my bunso, but as much as it hurt, it seems that i'll have to get new ideas on how to celebrate her birthday...oh well...there will come a time that'll i'll bake her that tiara cake and more!

High School Musical 3

Kids are so excited already with this movie which is going to be released Oct. 24, seeing the sweet Troy and Gabriella again together in this 3rd sequel of the blockbuster hit movie. I wonder how this movie will do this time, after Vanessa's nude pic scandal. They changed her sweet skirt and pop up sleeved blouse attires to bohemian-influenced style, just so to balanced her character with that of the scandal, making her more mature and kinda ready for college look. She still carries that sweet innocent look on her eyes, so i hope that whatever that nude image that still remains in our mind whenever we see her pics will be gone once we start watching this movie.

Joren's Birthday

I baked 2 cakes for him and 24 cupcakes. The yellow cake is my first fondant cake, its MMF. Joren had 2 classmates that came over, a cutey girl and his friend Austin. He was jumping for joy when he found out that his Lolo Rody gave him a bike. His Mamu gave him Lechon de Leche and his Papa prepared a Shabu-shabu. His uncle wawat and Ate May prepared chocolate fountain for him with marshmallows, wafer biscuits and sticko for dippings. I prepared spaghetti and Pancit malabon too with white puto. He was happy and doesn't want to go to sleep yet at 11pm, coz we were still singing that time, he told me it's his birthday.

My 5 day vacation

With so many things i wanted to do, i don't know where to start. Ironic isn't it? I have a book ive been wanting to read. Two printouts i woulda read long time ago. My mermaid crosstitch that i put out already on the my top drawer so i could make a few stitch here and there, btw i started doing that 3 years ago and i'm a few hundred stitches shy of finishing it. What else? oh i bought a Hugh Grant Dvd and i planned to watch all of it. And i have planned to have a date with my best friend Cherry again. And i've been wanting to do that creamcheese pie....urggghhhh what to do...what to do?
Hubby is asking to have a motorcycle ride with him to Quiapo...with all of these in mind, maybe going out with him is a better idea until i came up with what to do next.

No sleep for hubby and Rj

Its was very nice of Rj and hubby to let me take some sleep while they sell the cakes and cookies hehe. I fell asleep at an unused corridor with pile of broken chairs, the chairs there was comfy enuff and that i slept for 7 hours hehehe. I have finally adopted myself with this crazy work schedule, FINALLY.

Ice Cream Personality Test

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are. You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild... but they would call you responsible. You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it. You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask. You can be a big dramatic and over the top sometimes. You are bold in every way

cupcakes for bazaar

I'm here posting my cupcakes, when i should be baking. I still need to bake 2 more cakes and a batch of cookies. *scratches my head*

A Visit to Fully Booked

I can literally live in a bookstore, that is if they allow me, it's haven for me, i know alot of people can relate. And when we went to Greenhills yesterday, i get to reminisce the feeling of being inside a bookstore again. (here i go again) with the kind of job that i have, i don't really have much time to go or even have time to stay there for a while. Anyways, i just found out that there is another series of books that people are going gah gah over, and which just tells that THAT'S how i am detached to the book world nowadays. Its the books by Stephenie Meyers, the vampire lovestory saga. I don't know why i kinda likevampire books or movies, something in them that makes me fascinated, except Anne Rice books, it gives me a chill from my insides, i mean i like vampires because of fascination but not to the point that i can already sense someone dark watching me hehehe well that's how good A. Rice is.
Anyways i already started to rearrange my book shelf for that 3 vampire books, and hopefully next payday my wallet will spare some money for me *starts doing the math*

A Cake for Flor

Flor just got home from the hospital about 2 days ago and it's her birthday today, so after coming from work i decided to make a chocolate cake for her. Coz i remember when i was making a chocolate cake with lots of marshmallows she really liked it, so i throw a bagful of marshmallows on her cake and i made another cake the same one just that i made it square , for my kids, i know that once Flor put her cake on the table my kids prolly will not have enough to eat. So the square one is solely for them.

A Taxi Ride with Rosebelle & Aaron

The traffic was heavy, we have a 4 yr old & an 8 yr old, a teenager whose getting our attention by telling jokes and two women who loves to talk(one was me), we were on our way to Greenhills. It was chaos! I started taking pics and it gave a moment of silence, i found that nick of time of silence precious!

Computer Crashed!!!

I was JUST about to email all the powerpoint files i made about cupcakes & cake designing, just that i got lazy and watched dvd instead. The day after that my pc crashed and i can hear that little voice inside my head, who likes to blame me all the time, saying ' told you so'. I think thats her favorite line.
So without a pc for a few days is not my worry really, but its more of like i can't really make my son NOT to download games from the net, it's becoming habitual already, that i have to think of another strategy, thats my college son, he seems to be getting a little selfish lately, not considering how others will be affected with his actions. *breathes deeply*.
He was able to retrieve my files tho, so im happy with it. And he helped his uncle to reformat the pc, i hope he learns this time.

The Kobey Bryant Shoes Collection

This is hubby showing off the new Kobey rubber shoes that he wore for the 2008 Olympics games in Beijing. This particular collection has a number 10 imprinted on the side, Kobey's jersey number for the 2008 Dream Team.

The last Kobey Shoes that he has is still inside the box, untouched.. i think this is the one they call Black Mamba. Not to mention he has the same shoe with a different color. And he has an eye for that new shoe again. .

His first Kobey shoe was bought from Singapore i dunno what it's called but it looked like a robot with totally blackshiny skin and no strings at all.

Don't make me start telling his Kobey's jersey collection.

Weird Memory

I am VERY VERY forgetful, like turned-the-cabinet-inside-&-out-looking-for-keys-just-to-find-out-its-inside-my-pocket, forgetful. Sometimes i hide my wallet to places i can't remember that i end up buying a new one. Or money that i save for emergencies, i would put it inside somewhere that nobody will ever find, EVEN me. BUT it boggles my mind why there are certain dates that i cannot forget, dates like one of my highschool best friend's bday, which is Sept.
6, her name is Flordeliza,, it's like whenever that day comes im always wishing that if only theres a way to communicate with her.
And the Heavens heard me that Flordeliza got my number and exchange txts msgs since early this year and when Sept 6 came i greeted her early morning. She said that she was SO suprised and happy that i remembered her birthday, we haven't seen each other since after highschool and that was 20 yrs ago and i can't even remember what her last name was, and there i was greeting her on her birthday.
I made a special person of my highschool life happy and after 2o yrs of remembering her every Sept 6 i am able to greet her Happy Birthday finally.

Carrot Cake

Last Bazaar i have request for a mango cake and carrot cake, thats why i made a carrot cake the other day, and i was suprise to find out that my kids actually love it. If i can still remember the last time i bake one was last New Year, uhmmm and at that time they didn't even want to touch it, i wonder is it because we have like 3 cakes on the table that time or they really didn't knew that it was a carrot cake? Creamcheese frosting is a knock- out and i drizzle a generous amount of melted white chocolate on top, so prolly that gave it a kick to them. Nevertheless, i am again a happy mother :)

Logo sticker

i talked with my sister's hubby early this afternoon and since he is very good at doing ads i asked him if he can make me a logo for my pastries, SO he is really very good at that and he ask me about putting up things that i want to be in logo, so its 4 am and i'm here browsing.

cookie cut outs II

It was a bit soft for cutting through the cookie dough was just good enough to leave a mark on the dough and i used a knife to really remove the shaped cookies. So im going to think of more harder material to use.
