I wish

• I wish I had more time to do household chores (yes, you read it right!)
• I wish I had more time to play with my twins
• I wish I had more time to sleep
• I wish I had more time for myself to take a long bath, shop and go to the parlor
• I wish I had more time to work to finish all in one day without having to leave some tasks in the pending tray.

But unfortunately, a day lasts only 24 hours. Tsk.

Anyway, the weekend that was is just what I wanted. A 3-day weekend that is. So what did we do?

Sunday brunch at Conti's in Trinoma

Attended a Class at Gymboree (they just slept cried)

Played with our adoring twins

Gear them up

Spend more time with cousins/relatives (at home on Mickey and Cyril's Graduation/Thanksgiving Party)

*with my cousins. I don't look like I am a decade older no? haha!*

The pretty girl in skirt and the boy who just woke up...

My office space

In around 2-3 months, we are due to transfer office so from being in the heart of Makati and staying in the tallest building in the Philippines in particular, we will now transfer to an office building right next to the biggest mall in Asia. I am now trying to cherish the remaining months in my office so I took the liberty of taking some photos.

I'm lucky to have a great view of the metro from my room. The corner room is facing the north area so even St. Francis Square can easily be seen. The drawback though is that I am situated a few steps away from my staff.

So what's in my space?

Share your space too - be it home or office!

I'm catching up...

Yeah, catching up on blogging...

Extremely busy at work lately and my twins are more than a handful so blogging became last of the priority. But now that my dearest husband and kids are asleep, I can spend a little more time to update my blog.

Here are some updates:

March: The Birthday Month/ Bora Trip
Spent my birthday in Boracay with my family and my in-laws! We were close to 20. It was fun and yet so 'bitin'. It's Sean and Sophia's first time on the beach. They were at 4.5 months then. We were surprised since they hate the beach. We wonder why given that Che and I are both beach lovers. Anyway, here are some pics.

More bora pics to follow.

The Graduation
Attended 2 graduation rites - Sato graduating from High School and Mickey graduating from College. Cyril has also recently graduated. I'm proud to say that my sister Mickey graduated Cum Laude! Congrats! Mana sa ate hehe!

Celebrating Easter
We heard mass at Mount Carmel Church and then had lunch at C2 restaurant in Shangri-la Place. Oh boy, Sean and Sophia love malling! They never cried and was just happy sight-seeing. I didn't had a solo picture of Sean here... love Sophia's outfit hehe.

The Ear Piercing
It was their scheduled visit to the pedia (we switched to Che's cousin Ate Ruchie) for Sean and Sophia's scheduled immunization. I had to double the pain for Sophia wth her ears pierced. Well, just for the sake of vanity. Look at the picture though, she seems to enjoy it..

First Solid Feeding
Exactly on their 5th month bday, Sean and Sophia had their first solid food - Cerelac 1. Sean really liked it and can really munch and swallow. Sophia pushed the cereal out using her tongue. It was a milestone that of course had to be recorded.

Daddy Mito's Bday at Market! Market!
It was Daddy Mito's bday today and we had buffet lunch at Kamayan in Market! Market! Love all the pics of Sean and Sophia. Check more in my friendster account..

Proud Mommy

Love to Laugh

Bulaga!

Bulagta!

Whew! That was quite a plenty. Well those are the highlights since March!

I love my job!

Yes, I do!

• I like it that i primarily do business/strategic planning
• I find doing organizational development very interesting
• Strangely enough, I like it that I am swamped with work!
• I love that my office is located at the 2nd to the top most floor of the tallest building in the Philippines and the room from my office provides a great view of the metro.
• I like that I am always challenged
• I like that I am working with smart people
• I like the global opportunities that the company provides

I am proud to say that I have a star on my forehead!

2nd Wedding Anniversary

It was Che and I's wedding anniversary yesterday. Since we are both busy, we just had dinner at Chelsea in Serendra. I've had dinner there before with my boss and my supervisors. Food was good so I taught it was a good choice.

We had the following for our menu:

Summer Squash Soup

Cheese Fondue (combination of two kinds of cheese with dips like nachos, croutons, olives, bell peppers, potatoes etc)

Salmon Sandwich (an uncooked salmon with mangoes, onions and herbs on top of a sandwhich served with fries)

Herb Marinated Chicken (this one was good except that the veggies were overcooked)

Our refreshing drinks were Frozen Lemon Iced Tea and Peach Iced Tea. Funny we didn't go for white wine which we originally intend to drink to match the cheese. :)

The food was too much. The guests next to our table look in awe whenever the food is served and probably wondering how hungry we were. Hahaha. Well, every serving from soup to main course is always good to share. But probably since it's our wedding anniversary, an excuse to skip our diet, we ordered items of our liking in the menu. So it turned out that we have leftovers today for breakfast.

As usual, the restaurant was full even it's a raining weekday. We even saw Ogie and Regine and they actually look good together in person. I am not a fan of them though. And I was thrilled to also saw an old colleague, Angelie. She used to work in my department and was a MISE trainee (like me). She resigned few months back and is now currently studying at AIM. She was with the other MISE trainees from Belgium who came here to visit them.

Sean & Sophia

Sean and Sophia sleeping. Sean likes to sleep on the side so couldn't really get a good glimpse of him. Sean is awake here but not looking at Mommy ;( Sophia on the verge of crying...

Hooked

I was lately hooked aka addicted to shopping for bras and underwear. It started when I went to the mall last week and saw the undergarments section being on sale (must be related to valentine's day hehe). Triumph is the first place I go to whenever I need to buy undergarments and I can always find something to buy. Majority (that is more than half) of what I wear is from Triumph. Anyways, I was surprised to see there were nice items on sale. And so I bought half a dozen pairs. 2 day after, I bought another pair. And last Tuesday, I went to the mall again after work and told Che that I'll be passing by the mall to buy something. He texted back 'Siguro bibili ka na naman ng bra, addict ka na ata sa bra, loves!' And I replied, 'No, I'll buy the panty to pair it with'. Haha, then it sinked in to me that I am probably already hooked..
