little grown up

little grownup by govinda on Polyvore.com

Thundering with coolness. I can imagine my almost-3-years-old boy putting on in this outfit - crayon swirling, holding a teddy and an iPod. Last sunday, I head out to shop for a beanie for my two boys but couldn't really find one. Some are too big or I didn't like the print. But this Gap beanie is what I'm looking for. Love it!

sea of shoes

I found Jane Aldrige's blog through my good friend/wind faerie, bevlee, who happens to be a hyper chatterbox. (That is a good thing.) We were chatting on how I am becoming really addicted to Polyvore and so she gives me the sea of shoes and thought on how cool this 17yo shoe lover is, how I think she had to be an old soul, a very fine vintage baby - and I'm definitely loving her fashion sense. 

I'm not a shoe person really. Just your average flip flop kind of girl. The reasons, for one - I can't get my shoe size *too small and two - I don't know how to walk on high heels.  

It's amazing how creative you become when you've found your true passion. And I think it works overtime and with ease when you know what you want, and how you want to share it to the world.

happy little 9months old

Today our Akii turned 9months old. But it's a sad thing when he got his fever from me. I'm not feeling well since yesterday and now, my little baby's got it. I'm sorry babylove. You will be fine soon, I promise.

newest trick: wants to be out of his walker and wants a help on his own real walks.

the giveaway plan

This is the plan for the giveaway: A little paper bag full of Zaiid's favorite things. That means we're giving away tiny toy cars, some characters of his recent favorite movies, a bunch of numbers and letters, cookies and biscuits, a chuckie chocolate drink, and definitely a rock.

Each paper bag will be sealed with an adorable sticker that says "The stuff i Love! - 07•04•09 family park, cebu • open this bag and you'll find the stuff i love! • 3 years of awesomeness" I think I will have to doodle something out on the paper bag so it would look a bit of a fun-mess.

So what do you guys think of this idea? Any more I can add? Let me know. Thanks!

I shouldn't be blogging about this, should I? I would take out the surprise touch on the big day. Oh well, I don't think my little boy's guests read my blog hehe.

my bestfriend's wedding

I think this set is adorable. Gleaming in pure happiness and sweet real love. And so I am waiting for my best friend to approve it for her "no-date-yet" wedding. Although I don't think I can wear those shoes, haha!

what's in a resume

"...People don't talk about the soul very much anymore. It's so much easier to write a resume than to craft a spirit. But a resume is cold comfort on a winter's night, or when you're sad, or broke, or lonely, or when you've received your test results and they're not so good.

Here is my resume: I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my work stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the centre of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today, because I would be a cardboard cut out. But I call them on the phone, and I meet them for lunch. I would be rotten, at best mediocre at my job if those other things were not true.

You cannot be really first rate at your work if your work is all you are. So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger pay cheque, the larger house. Do you think you'd care so very much about those things if you blew an aneurysm one afternoon, or found a lump in your breast?..."

Anna Quindlen is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and bestselling author. I haven't read any of her books but I am moved by this particular part of her speech she made at a graduation ceremony. 

True, the best resumes in the world contains something about offering yourself to others unconditionally. I hope I can build a spirit resume that I can show off to my Maker at the end of my journey on earth.
