Another Year.

March 22 went by again.  Of course, this is a special day for me and my little boy because it's the Daddy's birthday.


On the eve of hubby's day, the little boy and I surprised him with this...
And this...
But really... nothing else screams HAPPY BIRTHDAY other than this.
I must point out, though, that I never got any gift from the hubby during my birthday... so this screams "Happy Birthday to ME", too!


Happy birthday, love.

Repost: Spot The Difference

This is our 6th Valentine's Day together as a married couple.  And the most unforgettable February 14 to date was last 2008.  Here's why...

March 2008

1. Colors of the envelope
     Left -- Red
     Right -- White
2. Brightness -- Left picture seems to have a brighter shade.
3. Time the card was given
     Left -- Valentine's Day 2007
     Right -- Valentine's Day 2008

Things hubby and I realized:
1. Hubby is REALLY forgetful.
2. I am also forgetful.   I shed a tear when I read the message of the card this valentine.  I only found out that it was the same as last year's when I went all sentimental and checked out his past cards to me.
3. His thoughts of me remain the same even after a year.
4. One should never buy cards for the same occasion from the same store for two consecutive years.  In our case, it's The Office WareHouse at the Paseo Center.

Christmas and Love.

Christmas is the best time to give lovely gifts.  And those lovely gifts must shout LOVE! to the special persons who will receive them.


Here is my gift to husband who worked his ass off during 2011.

Here is my gift to self... I, who sort of had a roller coaster ride in 2011.  It will seem to continue in 2012.  But what the heck... that's life... and now, I have this.

(It matches my Kate Middleton ring, by the way).

Ultimate Thomas Gift.

I am pretty sure you remember BakeHappy and her wonderful cakes.

She read my post and was very happy about it (which really made me kilig because as I said she IS famous).  So the next Monday, I found this note on my office desk. 
With it was a box with THE ultimate Thomas and Friends gift for my little boy. 
 I was stunned. 
 Speechless.  And touched by her kindness.  She not only made Thomas (the blue train), James (red) and Percy (green), she also made tracks with grass.  She also made the sky via these stars.  My little boy loved them... and chose to eat Thomas first with the Thomas fork his Lola Racel gave him.  The chocolate cupcake was very good, my little boy kept saying, "This is my favorite!"  Then, he regretted eating Thomas after he took a bite of the face.  But he was just happy and perky all night... he could not forget his Thomas experience.

The rest of the week was filled with Thomas cupcake desserts.  Who can top that super special treat?!

Thanks, Tita Marie!  I am sure the little boy will remember that night for a very long time.

Hubby's Back.

After one looooong month, he's back.

And here is my prize.

It's an Op Art Coach wristlet that I have been longing to have since two years ago. 

Yey!

This Blog and My Birthday Gifts.

Because I have been diligent in writing the things I like in this blog, I get gifts that I need and want!

Hubby decided to rely on my Christmas wishlist.  I scored two more which ups my batting average to 7/9.

First, he got me no. 6 in my list -- an iPhone earphone + mic.

He also got me no. 9 -- the Suesh Makeup Brushes!

My good friend Allan also gave me a super nice treat!  Face Shop nail polish... not just one but FIVE colors!  I love you, Allan. :)

March is hubby's month.  What to get him?  Nuninuninu... If only he has his published list...

My Christmas Wishlist -- How Did I Fare?

Let's see how many wishes in a Christmas wishlist do come true.

1.  Belle de Jour 2011 Power Planner (CHECK).  Did not get it for Christmas but my teammates gave it to me as a transferring-to-another-team gift.  It was one of those 'awww' moments.  Thanks, DSO! :)

2.  Mini mouse that will match my netbook (CHECK).  Care of my in-laws.  It does match my machine -- cute, pink (on the sides) and gurly!

3.  Gown/dress for my Christmas affairs (CHECK).  This was my gift to me.  The dress was by Noel Crisostomo and purchased in Myth.  It was beyond my budget so I must wear it again to be all worth it!  Ha!

4.  Girly laptop trolley bag (CHECK).  My hubby's gift to me (after Christmas!) and it's on its way to Manila in February.

5.  Great spa treatment (CHECK).

6.  Earphone + mic to replace my worn out one for my iPhone.  Save for next year or just put it in my Birthday wishlist because of urgency?

7.  Holiday in HK.  Save this for next year.

8.  Winning the lottery ticket.  Put this in my daily wishlist.

9.  Suesh Makeup brushes. The Personal Elegant Set.  Save for next year.

Oh!  That's 5 out of 9 not counting world peace.  I did well then.
