On his birthday party…

Jody — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:40:33 +0000

The husband had his birthday party at home from friends from his former company. We were all taking about how to lose weight including those quicktrim reviews and how to keep ourselves healthy. The discussions were brought about after learning that one of our friends had to undergo bypass surgery at a very young age of 38 years old. It made all of us scared! But that night was not totally spared because we had a great meal which I ordered from a good caterer. Everyone raved about the food!

Grilled Chicken and Roast Pork with Caramelized Apple

Red Snapper with Mango Salsa and Lengua Estofado

Arrival of our newest baby…

Jody — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 06:05:37 +0000

We welcomed with open arms the arrival of our new baby. We consider it actually as our “baby boy.” My husband was of course very excited. He has been planning to get this one since late last year but we have delayed it a bit. I always believe that it is sweeter when you have patience. We have finally decide on the name. It would be called “Reno.” It was the husband who chose that one. I can’t contradict him for that. He wants to remember the fondest memory we had while we were in US. We really had a great time in Reno, Nevada actually.

It was baptized already last sunday. We are enjoying this new baby so much. I’m now thinking to plan to have a quick getaway somewhere nearby, let’s see.

Back to SB…

Yes, the husband is back to SB (South Beach Diet). It’s a rush thing as he is already losing on our bet! lol! He is even considering those diet pills that work he read over the internet so he wants us to check tomorrow if those are available in our local drugstores. But I am surprised that he lost few pounds already for just 2 days? Hmmm, in less than a week, we would know the final verdict. Who is the biggest loser and who will win the biggest prize?

8 years…

Jody — Tue, 04 May 2010 02:08:29 +0000

seem long enough if you weren’t living it happily, but it was a bliss of dreams that were all achieved with the love of your life. And it becomes more exciting if you two are on the same page on your journey through life. Thanks Babes for all the love and respect. I have indeed married a great man. We have built happy memories together for us and our kids to remember and together, I am still looking forward to be beside you on what tomorrow has in store for us!

8 years and counting! It is our Happy Wedding Anniversary!

Iron Man 2

Jody — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:19:19 +0000

The husband has been requesting me that we watch Iron Man 2 on it’s first showing day. Apparently, it was a busy week so we failed to do so. We heard a lot of good reviews about the movie and after seeing some eye-catching pop displays as well in Eastwood Cinema, I am pretty sure that the film is a hit to movie goers. We are watching tomorrow night instead after putting the kids to sleep. I look forward to it. It’s movie date night with the husband

Barely slept…

Jody — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:37:18 +0000

last night but I’ve got the best eye cream for dark circles so I am safe. I have put on some already. I waited for the husband to come home last night which was very late already. But so happy he is back home after two nights of being away. I really don’t think I can be an OFW wife, lol! I just can’t. I really look up to those who are on those situation because I know how hard it is to be away from family.

Now, off for a wedding in Tagaytay…

Long Weekend!

Jody — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 12:02:59 +0000

Yipee! It is long weekend again this coming week and next week again. May 3 declared as non-working holiday in lieu of the labor day celebration of May 1. And next week, it would be another long weekend since it is already election day. Speaking of election day, have you guys decided on who to vote? I think we should really take time to review the credentials and the characters of these candidates. And as for the automated voting system, let’s give it a chance. Let’s not be too negative yet about it and just pray that everything would work well without any flaws. Our country doesn’t need any negativism at this time. Let’s ask for God’s guidance for our people to vote wisely. Let’s pray for our nation.

The agencies involved have actually made necessary precautions anyway. My husband’s company is one of the telecommunications provider for COMELEC. In fact, he would also be on-call duty all throughout that day. Let us also pray for everyone’s safety.

Anniversary Date…

Jody — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:35:11 +0000

Yes, our Wedding Anniversary is coming up soon. We would be celebrating our 8th year this coming May 4. No definite plans yet as to where we are spending it since the husband still needs to go to work that day. It’s a Tuesday actually. I’m on reviews of fine dining restaurants that we haven’t tried. Since we are on a diet, a buffet in a hotel would definitely be out. Yes, we usually go to Peninsula Manila (where we had our wedding reception) for a dinner buffet, but this time we would like to try something different. Any suggestions? If all my research fail and if should i not find confidence on the recommended restaurants, I am sure Le Souffle Rockwell would always be a good choice. It’s been a while since we last ate there too anyway.

The Biggest Loser…

Jody — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 04:43:03 +0000

Our home edition would officially start on April 5! Yeah, the husband and I made a deal to go on a bet to lose weight seriously. When I say serious, it means it comes with a prize at stake as to whoever between us would win the competition. lol! We need to lose at minimum 10% of our current weight after a month. We would try to do all means on our own without cheating. I am so determined to lose weight so I may not eat anymore starting Monday, lol! I am dead set to win either a new bag (wink!) or some loose diamonds for a new pair of earrings! (wee!) But kidding aside, the prize would be healthier and longer life. It would be for our kids. Wish us luck!

New gadget…

Jody — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:22:20 +0000

I finally convinced the husband to spend for himself, lol!, as he deserves something great. He has a set budget already and have been thinking to get some of his options: new home theater system, wii, xbox 360 or an iPhone. Glad he chose the iPhone. A good friend offered to get it from the US and bring it with her in time for her arrival on friday here in Manila. I’m pretty excited so I am even going to pick her up in the airport. Got it at a very good deal compared to prices here in Manila. And glad that he agreed to get the 32g of the 3gs so we can load more movies and songs from iTunes! Do you notice that I’m the one more excited about this new gadget? lol!
