This picture shows how we would look like if we would take those quick weight loss diet pills! Can you guess who are those in the picture?  Thanks to Joy and Aggie for coming out with this one.  It is part of the gift to our great personal shopper, Glo. We all look good, don’t you think so?  Woot, woot!  It was a total make-over from what type of bodies we have now!  I love this!  

Final Answer:  (from L to R) Peachy, Jane, Glo, Jacqui and me!

Yes, the husband is moving office, not to a new company but to a new office building.  Their office is moving much farther to our place now.  The husband is asking me to reseach on designs of office furniture since the mancom members were given free hand to decide on what they want for their individual rooms. He said he would have a bigger room this time, almost double the size on what he currently has on their office so he wants to have a separate reception area inside.  I actually emailed him already this morning few layouts and styles I have seen online. They are quite appropriate for a bigger space. I am recommending a small conference table so he could already conduct some his team meetings inside the room.  He’s pretty excited with this move.

Yes, we finally have confirmed bookings on hotels where we would stay in HongKong in two weeks time. After much of my delay, I finally decided to give Marco Polo Gateway Hotel a try. All hotel entrances/exits are leading to Harbour City so I’m going to be one happy shopper then. This is a much needed trip for our family. We really wanted to go on with this family vacation as this could mean bonding time with the kids (read: no yayas at all!). I have psyched myself that I can manage my two little girls, mind you they are still quite unmanageable especially when together. I should actually show the husband that I cannot lose my sanity from this trip otherwise I doubt if the husband would agree to bring them to some other foreign destinations like the beautiful white-sand beaches of Riviera Maya. I have been wishing to have the chance to stay in one of those Karisma Hotels. It’s going to be one vacation that can be truly relaxing, with superb luxurious accommodations, great beach, and feasting on deliciously prepared Gourmet food. It could really be a treat. In truth, I am including it in our list of destinations to go to.

Its the 2nd working day of the week and I’m extremely B-U-S-Y!  In fact, it’s even an understatement.  2 overseas clients are currently here in Manila so my schedules are occupied.  Plus bagging the account last week from the presentation makes me wonder how could I fit everything in a day with just 24 hours!  Oh but I am not at all complaining.  These are all blessings and I am just so grateful.  Besides, another blessing came in this morning.  Early Pay-out from my favorite sheriff in town!  And all my tasks came in for cut-off!  Greatness!  I can now pay Glo!  Lol!

in Margaux’s school happened last Tuesday. I immediately bought her costume 2 weeks ago from Kultura store in SM upon receiving the notice from her school. I know how it could easily get out of stock since most moms are also buying for their kids.I wanted to get the igorot or the muslim costumes but the sizes available are too big for her.  Maybe, I would try again next year! lol!   Apparently, I took pictures of Margaux from her school but for some reason now, I cannot find the usb cable in transferring pictures from my camera. Grrr!

Good thing I took her picture when I was fitting the dress on her when I got home from the mall, and then I was still able to download it. So I’ve only got this one…

of the husband went very well. We checked-in last wednesday in St. Lukes and stayed there until thursday afternoon. We were given a nice suite. It was indeed for an executive. Aw! Too bad that I forgot to bring my camera. I wasn’t able to take a picture of the room complete with amenities. The room also has a free wi-fi!

The husband passed all tests in flying colors. Nothing to be worried about. Thank God! I’m very happy with the results since he’s very much healthy. Though of course he was asked to lose weight. He would go back again next week to get the official results.

Now, we gotta be working really to shed off those extra pounds.

Me, I spent quality time with the husband and the kids as I didn’t have any events and we just didn’t plan anything over the weekend. We just enjoyed lazing around the bedroom, quickly went to the mall last saturday so kids can play and buy few sale items.  We heard mass yesterday, run few miles around the village, then footspa and massage last night.

But I think I also gained 5lbs just over the weekend. I cooked a lot and also ate a lot. Bad!  Prepared Beef Tenderloin Chinese Style last saturday and pan-fried cream dory in light soy sauce yesterday. Yes, it was chinese cooking over the weekend! Also prepared banana cake and boiled sweet corn for merienda. We also had some left over chocolate cake and ice cream so all we had to do was eat while doing some DVD marathons.

The husband decided to have his executive medical check-up this week so today is the official start of his cleansing diet. Aside from colon cleanse reviews I have given him, he also would like to try other diets that he was able to research over the net. But of course all of it should still be consulted to his doctor. We would be checking in St Lukes Hospital this wednesday till thursday. I am going to camp with him in the room. I wish, they are going to give him a nicer room!  

Here’s to hoping that husband is fit and healthy aside from being slightly overweight!  gee!  :-<

I got an email from a friend today offering me some best buy hand dryers for the house.  She is getting it from a great supplier of hand dryers and washroom accessories.  I am tempted since the ones she emailed me are beautifully crafted and perfectly in white color.  Some are even less 100usd.  Best priced really.  I am also tempted to get a soap dish dispenser for just less than 25usd.  Hmm, makes me think.  It could be included in another balikbayan box of a friend coming on September.  I am thinking to put those for the powder room.

It doesn’t seem to be noticeable at all!  I had my haircut last week.  Again, the stylist doesn’t want to do any drastic change yet.  I thought I am going to look like Katie Holmes already  

She took off almost 3 inches already.  She’s asking me to go back again after another 8 weeks to totally cut off already the rebonded part of my hair.  She said it would then be good to style and color my hair after that.  

I don’t know until when I could last on this daily routine of blow drying my hair!  But I am loving how my hair falls back now.  Its becoming more natural!  

 But I am happy with the complement from my best admirer.  The husband said I look younger!

when we moved to the city from Disneyland for 1 night stay in HongKong this September.  How pathetic it could be?  Just 1 night and I can’t even decide?  lol! Well, I am considering a lot of things since we are bringing the kids. But in my husband’s point of view, I am just complicating things!  *rolleyes*  Ok fine, I might be overacting but I just want to get a nice hotel in a very good location.  I am also considering size of the room and cleanliness of the comfort room plus accessibility to transportation means. I am still hoping to extend our stay for another night if PAL would open up some slots!  Now, I am willing to pay extra.  But in choosing the hotel, I also have to consider rates of course.  I have been to Hongkong a lot of times but I just don’t know why its taking a while for me to decide on matters I should know already!  ;-) Reading a lot of reviews makes me delay things.  I really need to book already before this weekend as the husband might change his mind for the budget set for this trip.  ;)  How I wish it was just as easy as booking orlando florida hotel packages. They have amazing prices that includes flight, accommodations and theme park tickets already.  Hmm, makes me think if we could include it in our itinerary next year.

Can’t wait to be staying here again…sounds pathetic, but i am just counting the days…exactly a month from now will be our trip to HongKong!  In fact, I so miss HK already!  Its just that I cannot miss a year without going there and I would never get tired in spending quick getaway there.  

It would be the first time of the kids so I am pretty excited.  This trip is really for them so we are staying here for 3 days and two nights before we finally move to the city.  

Decided to just stay in Disney Hollywood Hotel based also on my superb experience last year.  I love the interiors of the hotel so as the room of course.  Though I was thinking before to try the Disneyland Hotel, other friends told me that the interiors are more victorian and the kids may not find it fancy.  Also, the Hollywood Hotel is a lot cheaper as well.  We just intend to dine in the Disneyland Hotel since they said that food is better there.  

I really can’t wait…I hope the weather would cooperate with us on our travel dates.

our family had lunch together with husband’s relatives in Zong in Fort Bonifacio.  Then we decided to stroll around Bonifacio High Street to kill time and have dinner also at Abe in Serendra.  We don’t want to go home anymore since we wanted the kids to be sleeping by the time we were home.  (yes, pagurin ng husto!, lol!).

So after the lunch, we all went to Krispy Kreme to have desserts and coffee.  The kids saw the Club Princess store so we decided to go in.  I have seen this store already before and in fact, I know that Adworks own it as well.  But when we got there, Margaux insisted to have a hair styling cause she saw a little girl being made up as well.  

I had them both tried the hair make-over.  We then strolled and played in the grounds and we let them play inside Landes and Hobbes store.

Here are some of our pictures last weekend…

I am just grateful for some weekends that I am not working!  ;)
