There are three sets of parties already scheduled in the house this December. The Christmas Invitations are all out. That is why I made sure to finish buying stuff I need for the party entertaining. My friends are gushing about the Christmas party invitations they got from us. Luckily, I was able to get some free Christmas invitations from http://www.holiday-invitations.com/.
My friends were asking me as to where I got those Christmas invitation wording I used because they so ecstatic when they received it. Everything is from Holiday-Invitations actually. I usually get all my holiday cards from them as I don’t even have problems in ordering online since they can print and ship my order the same day that I have approved the proof. Also, since I have been a regular customer, getting some free invitation cards with free shipping is a very sweet advantage. Now, I look forward to these gathering of friends in the house.
We are back from Guam since this morning but I am still in denial that vacation is finally over. We had a grand time in Guam! It was a perfect get-away for me, the husband and the two kids. We love Guam! We love our hotel, the Westin Resort Guam. We love the beach, the pool and the outlet shopping! Would love to go back there since it’s a short plane ride from Manila. In fact, a budget for a trip to Boracay in an upscale resort is almost the same with a get-away in Guam. So why not right?
I have yet to upload our pictures and make a detailed story of the trip. For the meantime, I need to freshen up as I have a party to attend to tonight. Our association is having a suppliers’ party and I still need to get those business gifts I ordered last week. I am hoping the cards are done since I still have to write on those.
Hope to post some pictures tomorrow.

for Guam. Gladly, the little girl, Margaux has no fever anymore since yesterday afternoon. I was so worried for her as we might even have to cancel the trip. Thank goodness, she got well. We would be equipped with right medications for the trip anyway. Also, I am happy that I was able to finish all errands and tasks that the husband asked me to do. I was able to even finalize and get the life insurance rate we were asking from our agent. Would read through it while we are on trip and would finally give our decision by next week. For the meantime, there are still some work I need to do this morning before I finally finish packing.
There’s a number of advertisements already in TV and print ads for the forthcoming election next year. All presidentiables are presenting already their plans for the country. I wonder which one would really pose to be a great candidate. One consideration for the youth in voting the right president is one that would consider programs on how to solve the problem on drug addiction. According to the researches from national institute of drug abuse, this problem is global in phenomenon. That’s why, reliable and effective drug rehab like those in Florida should be also be a considered project of the next president. Since the youth has been the driving force of the country today, paying much attention to them, next to providing their employement is entirely needed.
As for me, I have started already on some. But I haven’t started wrapping anything yet so there’s nothing underneath the christmas tree yet. I still have a long list of people to give to. I am hoping I can scout some in the premier outlets while we are in Guam. My nephews actually asked me to get them their truck accessories. I wonder if there would be available stuff there. But I’m pretty excited for shopping since I heard that it’s tax-free shopping there.
Having a Med School Graduation Invitations is probably something new for some. But its one great milestone in one’s life so preparing for it should highly be considered. My aunt who gave medical school graduation announcements for her daughter is one very proud mommy. I am sure she is.
These kind of invitations like even those law school graduation invitations, tech school graduation party invitations are available from GraduationCardsShop. You can order from their site at http://www.graduationcardsshop.com/. What’s good about them is that they can print and ship your order the same day that you approved the proof. Well, proof reading is also not a problem since they can email it within one hour during business day after you have placed your order. My aunt who ordered from them is very happy with the cards she ordered.
and we are bound for the island of Guam. We would be staying here…

The Westin Resort Guam
We are excited of course. Although I haven’t done our itinerary yet. I need to finish it by today as the husband would look at it tonight. Aside from the Guam Itinerary, he is also asking me to check out Fort Worth apartments as he wants to consider including Texas for the trip to mainland next year to see and meet his bestfriend. I wonder how we could fit all our schedules by then.
For the meantime, I need to print all necessary information we need for the upcoming trip to Guam like transportation options, attractions, dining options, and shopping of course. We are praying for Mr. Sun to shine on us while we enjoy the beach and sands of Tumon Island! Can’t wait!
I am not new for another Baby Shower Invitations as two of my friends recently announced that they are pregnant. We are very much happy for them. They have been waiting for it actually. As early as now, they are very excited already and been praying to also be blessed with baby boys this time. Aside from checking on clothes for baby boys, they are also keen on what are the latest trends on cute baby invitations.
Unique and exclusive designs of baby shower invitations are all available only at CardsShoppe. I even told them that they could even get free invitation cards and free shipping if they get to check now their website at http://www.cardsshoppe.com/. Nowadays, shower invitations have never been these beautiful!
I love travelling! And to just say that is even an understatement. We are leaving for Guam this friday and yet I am also busy researching and canvassing for our next trip next year. If everything falls into place, time and budget, would like to avail of the disney world vacations. I’m sure the kids would have a blast there. We are sure to be in the West Coast by May of next year and I am haggling to the husband that we stay for a minimum of 30days. Disneynald in Anaheim and Universal Studios would all be included in our itinerary. This time, the kids are bigger so I’m pretty sure they would enjoy it most. For the meantime, I got to get back on my research as I am preparing for our itinerary for Guam this week.
is already up inside the house. We bought it early November and we just can’t wait not to put it up right away. We fixed it last weekend. The kids helped as we placed the decors in the tree. It would definitely become a yearly family tradition for us. We want the kids to participate as we put up all our christmas decorations. The husband and I agreed on the traditional colors of red and gold so it could last very long. Well, we also intend to use it again in the next few years. . Not to mention that the colors are appropriate for our furnitures.
It’s our first christmas in the new house so you bet, we are pretty excited
. I have changed also other stuff in the house to make it more christmas feel. We also bought new stuff like the lanterns and the singing Santa Family. I have yet to post the pictures of those next time.
For the meantime, here’s our tree…


The finished product with the lights on already
…

After the holloween, it is time for Thanksgiving Holiday Invitations. I almost can’t wait not only for the holiday invites but also for the thanksgiving sale invites from different brands! (lol!)
Kidding aside, much more about sale, thanksgiving is an important holiday celebrated in the US. Here in the Philippines, Christmas is most celebrated instead. Are you ready for your invitations holiday? I am. In fact, I have booked the dates already for the parties in the house. I plan to order holiday party invitations from http://www.invitations-shoppe.com/. I heard they even provide free invitation cards and free shipping from their site. They can also create a special design for me in case i don’t find the exact card I am looking for from their online store. Well, Invitations-Shoppe has been our regular supplier for any holiday cards we need.
The following day, November 6, Bianca also celebrated her birthday in school. It was for the mixed group of Toddlers, Nursery and Kinder. So there were lots of kids which made the party more fun. The teachers prepared some games. There were also song numbers for the bday celebrate and well-wishers for her. I ordered chickenjoy and spaghetti from Jollibee. It was so fun to see the kids. Good thing, Ate Margaux was able to join us as well. She didn’t have school yet that time. We gave out HighSchool Musical bags with candies and toys inside as her lootbags. As mentioned before, Bianca loves High School Musical to bits. She dances and sings all songs from the first High School Musical that’s why I decided for it to be her birthday theme.
Here are some pictures…








It was a rush birthday party I prepared at home. I want her to actually to have a candle blowing with kids on her exact birthday. I had to move her party in school the following day, because I learned that there was also another kid celebrating his birthday the same day as Bianca. (it was a miscommunication with the school). Anyway, a day before her birthday, I went to buy few toys and candies so we can have some games and prizes. I was able to prepare lootbags as well for like 12 kids. So despite the rain, we had a simple celebration of Bianca’s 3rd birthday at home…



Since a friend gave birth like 2 weeks in advance than her scheduled delivery, she is looking now for a supplier to accommodate her order for rush Thank You Cards. She just gave birth yesterday and she wasn’t prepared yet for her baby thank you cards. I told her about the site of Announcements-Shoppe. I mentioned to her that she might find want to also look for printable thank you cards from there to make it easier for her to choose the design.
I know delivery is not a problem with them since they can print and ship your orders the same day that you approve the proof from them. Also, you can view the proof right away since they have that instant preview feature from their website, http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/. It was the same store I recommended to my aunt who was also in the rush to order my cousin’s graduation thank cards.
when I last checked my weight this morning. Arg, it’s slow! But I have learned to be patient. Well, I cheated few times during the weekends. With all the parties we attended, I think I gained back the supposed 3lbs to make me less by 10lbs already. But I am still working that my belly fat won’t show. Double time in dieting as I am hoping to still fit in my skimpy swim suit as we stroll along Tumon Beach next week!
things to write about, I just can’t find time to sit down and do so. Tons of pictures are in our cameras and I haven’t even uploaded everything. So let’s make this list a reminder for me on things I should write about and catch up for the coming days…

Would really try to blog soon but for now, I need to hit the sack as I have been sleeping for like 4 hours only every night! I’m like a walking zombie in the morning! :P
I was browsing the New Arrivals from Zenni Optical since I want to get a new pair of eyeglasses in time for the holiday season. I found nice and cute Holiday Fun Eyeglasses which caught my fancy. I sent to the husband the site so he can take a look as well. I told him to just get me those affordable and stylish $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses instead. So he could save on what he would get me. That means, there would be more budget for the rest of the items on my list

My dear little girl Bianca celebrated her 3rd Birthday today. She had a simple party here in the house a while ago with few of her classmates and also some of our neighbors’ kids. Tomorrow, she would have another party in her school.
How fast it could be that it was already 3 years ago when I gave birth to a bouncing baby girl at 7.1lbs. I gave birth to her at 9:18am. I recalled everything else that happened that joyous day. I read again my birthing story here. After just few lines of reading and watching the video again (do check my birthing story), tears fell down my eyes.
I am thankful for the blessings of my kids. They are the most precious to me. Now, I wonder if I have been doing the right thing to become a good mother to them. I may not be perfect but I am doing my very best. I always pray for graciousness that I may be able to teach my kids the values of being a good person. I may sound overacting since they are just so little, but everything else starts from home.
To my dear Bianca, happy happy birthday to you. I wish that you may grow as a very fine girl. Thank you for letting me learn the ropes of being a mom. I would try my best to teach you the proper ways of life. I would do my share in moulding you not just as a good daughter, a good sister but a definite good kind-hearted person.

We love you!
Have you started your christmas shopping already? As for me, I haven’t actually started on gifts but already bought some christmas decors for the house. We have yet to buy a new lantern also to put in our porch. For the gifts, I haven’t finished my list. I am hoping I won’t forget anyone. There’s an upcoming Toy Sale in Megamall starting tomorrow, November 6 and ends by November 8. I would want to check it out tomorrow. It’s an exclusive sale for entry only of BDO card holders and SM Advantage card holders. For November 7 and 8, it would be open for the public. I hope to finish atleast my list for the godsons and daughters by tonight so I can start shopping as well. Good thing, they do accept credit cards. It would really be easy to plan out purchases that way as long as you also pay your full balance every due date!
Counting like eight to nine months from now, I am looking forward to receive the Birth Announcements of my two online friends. We are very excited for their pregnancies. Both having it their 2nd child this time. I am so happy to receive the news from them actually as I know they have been planning for it as well already. I am sure they would be as OC as they have been just like their first-born. They would probably have photo birth announcements made as well. I so love receiving birth announcement cards especially from close friends.
I would likely recommend to them to check out the site http://www.cards-411.com/. Cards-411 carries beautiful designs for baby birth announcements. They can really put their baby’s picture in the card and even modify the design or color of it. I’m sure they would also love to note that they can also get free shipping and some free cards if they have promotions.
We are starting to feel the cool breeze of the season. It’s getting colder every morning now. Christmas is almost here! We have started shopping last weekend for christmas decors. The kids are getting excited everyday. They keep on asking as to when would Santa Claus start giving out gifts. They are excited to put on their big socks on the christmas tree.
Last saturday, they even made some decorations out of paper (with help of yayas) and placed it on their wall. As one of the christmas gifts for them, we are thinking to buy a new flat screen TV and get a sturdy mounts for it instead to maximize space in their playroom.
