competing always to myself...
me against my stubbornness
me against my laziness
me against my boredom
me against challenges
me against my endeavors

Cebu,Mactan Resorts

August 9, 2008

I cannot quite imagine what I experienced today, we had an errand courtesy of our boss, to find and book  his special someone (his family member not the other way you are thinking).  It resulted to resort slash hotel hopping galore.  First we went to Plantation Bay, we already made a reservation for August 12 through telephone,  we went there to pay  our reservation but unfortunately our reservation was not honoured, we don’t know what went wrong. So we where force to find another one. I’d been living in Cebu for thirteen long years and specifically working in Lapu-lapu for almost six years but only this day I discovered how beautiful  Cebu is (really really!).

 

We went to Plantation bay, then to Costabella Hotel, Blue water ,then to Shangri La Hotel/resort/, to White Sands then back to Shangri la. Wait, did I mention we went to Jollibee? Just imagine how exhausted we were at the end of the day, the good news is I was not wearing my high heels shoes, but Wella did (tsk tsk). One of the thing Wella and I noticed foreigners from Korea dominate among the tourists.

here are the sites, thu I took some pictures, there resorts are best presented, where else–> but in their web sites

Look Mom Cotton Ball

August 8, 2008

 

I was cleaning my face with small amount of cleanser in a cotton ball, when I noticed my daughter got her own cotton ball and rubbed it in her face the way I did. I certainly laughed watching her imitating my actions.  She’s only 1 year old, 5 months and 17 days but she can make everybody laugh, she’s truly the darling at home, and with my husband’s entire family and relatives she surely know how to entertain them. There were times that we had a visitors she immediately flashed her warm smile. It is true that you will never fully appreciate motherhood until you have child of your own.

Look Mom, I can do it!

 I remembered the day it was April 26 this year when she learned to walk properly… I nearly cried, though it was hard for her to take two steps (for they say she’s a little bit bigger in her own age, thanks to Dad’s genes!) she really tried. After one step she swayed a little, then took another steps until she made it.  My heart was pounding ,I hugged her, when I saw that she was frightened a little.

As the days passed she tried it again, I know how ordinary this things are at her stage but  it was so special to me,  of course because she’s my own daughter. I am one happy mommy.

  A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart.

Twilight

August 6, 2008

Finally I got my own copies (clap clap), after months of waiting National bookstore  Ayala branch called  informing that the book I reserved is already available. It was months ago that I learned about this novel, I was searching for a book to read when I stumbled upon to a certian internet forum discussing that what would be the perfect book to read, some  recommended this book. I was surprised actually by the numbers of people who urged to read this novel. I even tried to search this books in ebay but unluckily the price is pretty higher compared to bookstore considering I have also to pay the freight. 

 

You might be intrigued what this books all about. Just refer to Kumareng Wikipedia –> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_(novel)

Havaianas Flip flip flop!

August 3, 2008

This Brazillian rubber took the world with storm. It is very comfortable and durable, I had my first Havi last year and it is always suitable whenever I wear my jeans, skirts or in dress. We were so lucky that we have our direct supplier (hehe)  of these unique branded flip flop.

 

 

    

     

 But of course I also love our very own spartan.
