it's all about the monkey!

This is what logos should be.
Makes you want to start a collection, or go terno-crazy from bikinis to bags. Never complicated nor boring, these monkeys make money!

If they were rhinoceroses, would Paul Frank still be Paul Frank?

P.S. My husband said if he was with me shopping, I wouldn't have gotten Zaiid another pair of slippers. Hehe, he was just pointing out some values to me again. Oh sweet love :)

dreaming of baby boys

Feeling a lot better today. With lots of lovin' and playin', to a sick pregnant woman, those are the only medicines she could rely.

I have been dreaming about baby boys lately. The first time was he appeared as Baby Manghud and he was talkative, alert and very assertive. He had an idea that he'd rather have me as his girlfriend than having some kind of a "Britney Spears". I laughed so hard in my dream that in reality, my sister told me I was giggling while asleep.

Does that mean I want another boy? Or do dreams get opposite answers in reality? Hmm... I don't know, but soon we'll see. I can't wait to get an ultrasound this weekend and find out eggbellylove's sex! *daydreaming again...

"Thank You"

This is from my friend Tschai who had survived Dengue last week.

Dear Family and Friends

Last week proved to be a difficult week for me and my family. Some of you may have sent birthday greetings, and some have prayed for my health.
Seeing my love ones harnessing all their strength to be there for me in one of the lowest times of my life gave me the courage to fight back and recover. At first, I thought spending my 30th birthday on the hospital was the worst birthday ever. With all your support and prayers, I realized it was the best birthday gift anyone could ever ask for - the gift of life. I have gone through a lot and I know, because of your support and love, I am given the strength to see it through...
God in his own time will surely shower each of you His blessings. My family will always be forever grateful.

love always,
Chai

Let's Feast!

Who can take away the magic of dancing brings? And even if I'm a bad dancer, or even if Zaiid never dances, we managed to...dance! Today is Mother's Day. I am sick but I am not complaining. I am dancing with my babyloves... we are celebrating eachother. (Of course Papa is the DJ and cameraman.)

Dancing to the tune of Le Festin! :)

the dancing begins....

'Gen! says Zaiid.
He wants another round.

Happy Mother's Day to the wonderful Mothers in my life :)
