Who's insomiac?

I don't want it to be me! I want to sleep - 10 hours straight!

We were ready to sleep before 10 PM last night, earlier than our usual nights as we usually sleep after 1130 on weeknights especially because I am an avid fan ( although I don't wanna be obvious about it) of Imortal, a primetime show about vampires and wolves in TFC. LOL Speaking of vampires, when my daughter saw the commercial of Wall E on Disney Channel, she exclaimed, "Mom, that's my fave'rit!" and I said, yes, that's my fave'rit too but she disagreed and said, "No, fave'rit mo Jacob, Edwart, vampwire, tapos Otal (imortal)". I just LOL

So going back, I thought we will be sleeping early. After Hershey found her moment to get sleepy, I was left lying wandering. I checked hubby and found that he too is on his sweetest sleep so then I woke him up because I am a good wife, I need him to live by his promise, for better or worst, etc etc. LOL So my dear husband though already sleepy agreed and told me stories about anything while trying not to sleep. I checked the clock and it's past midnight and because I am a concerned wife, I told him it's timed out and we need to sleep although I still feel not sleepy.

It was difficult. I think just about anything. I see different faces. I prayed, I prayed. I'm not sure if I was able to sleep but I knew, I checked the clock 245 AM, 430 AM, 530 AM - I was restless until 545 I heard the alarm. I emailed my boss that I would be working from home as I am unwell and I saw Hershey woke up when I'm preparing to take a bath but eventually, I decided to just go to work.

Now I'm here, I went to Starbucks to get my morning latte to help me feel awake but I don't think it's helping. I want to go home and play with my daughter. I know this feeling - this is what I feel before every long break. I will be on leave starting on the 22nd of Dec and I can't wait! LOL I am already excited.

*Sigh* I wish I can sleep well tonight. Looking forward. Thanking heavens in advance.

Mommy Moments - BIG Things!

I am posting pictures of my daughter with anything big! Good thing I saved pics I used to create her photobook so I have some to grab and post here. :)

See Hershey with two big people, her grandparents - Nanay and Tatay.

Then that is her with larger than life Care Bears with us and grandma Virgie. My hubby's mom.

And finally, Hershey with her favorite Pooh Bear and friends in SM Bacolod. :)

Lovely!

Happy Thanksgiving Day! What am I thankful for?

It is America's Thanksgiving Day tonight, 25th of Nov and there's a trending  in Twitter now, #IamThankful and while going through tweets I thought of the same. What I am thankful for this year? Whew, I would have the longest list. One that tops my list would be the life extension the Lord has given to my parents. You see they are on their 60s already and my father had his 2nd stroke but there is no physical sign that he had. He is old yes but no facial droop or slurred speech. The only thing that was affected was his memory. He forgets but not totally forget everything. Well, I am forgetful too even without experiencing a stroke! LOL With that said, I am grateful that my father is still with us and my mom is still healthy.

Next would be our life here in Singapore. I am thankful that we are able to enjoy our earnings and still able to save and give.

I am thankful that the Lord has used me for His ministry. It was my heart's desire to be used in church, I used to sing, play the piano, dance, teach the kids, etc at Church but I haven't done any of those now. I can't definitely sing on the stage during praise and worship because my daughter would surely love to join us on stage. My husband plays the guitar and sometimes song leads so I think it's just ideal for both of us to sing for the glory of the King, together. Well, nevertheless, the Lord gave me a little responsibility, to prepare everyone's dinner after each service. I will also be the narrator on our upcoming Youth on Fire event this 5th of Dec. Nice start!

I am thankful for a lot of things. Our jobs, they are stable now. My daughter's nanny, whom we can trust 100% and who loves my daughter as well. She is indeed a blessing. I am thankful for my husband who still spoil me with everything. I am thankful for my friends who are always there to talk to me and listen to my sometimes non sense stories.

I am grateful for my daughter who is healthy everyday. She grows fast and smart. I am thankful that she let us feel complete, and inspire us to be better and do better.

I am thankful that I am able to pay my credit card bill in full though right now we are on financial crisis because of me! LOL. I am thankful that I don't have insomia! That I always feel sleepy. Still I envy those who falls asleep easily everywhere, even with just sitting on a chair.

I am thankful of the negative things that happen between me and other people. I was able to sit down, keep quiet and analyze what's happening and what went wrong. I realized that I don't have control over it so I am happy that I was again able to talk to God about it and thank Him for comforting me and telling me everything is gonna be okay so my heart is okay now.

I have a lot more to be thankful for. I can consume the whole day writing them down. LOL. Since all these are His will, I will just always be thankful. So with all my heart, thank you Lord for everything and I love you.

"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV

Hapi, Kay Ganda

So even the citizens didn't like it. That is the new Philippine tourism slogan which was changed from Wow, Philippines to Pilipinas, Kay Ganda and received heavy criticism online. The logo is a rip-off itself, a similar version from Poland's logo, check this out, P vs P. Pilipinas, Kay Ganda sounds like a morning show too. I read from one comment, it should have been, "Philippines, We'll Knock You Out" with Manny's caricature! LOL

So to just enjoy the fiasco, Pinoy FB user has created an apps that will create your own Kay Ganda logo. :)  Look at my version,

 KAY GANDA KO! :)

GT: Plato addict!

I'm a day late but nevertheless, I still want to join GirlsTalk for November. This week's girltalk is shopping housewares. I <3 it :)

Even while in highschool when going to the mall with friends, my closest buddies Maricel and Iris would say, "I know where Hapi is heading. Sa mga pinggan, kurtina, etc etc!" Haha. I just love beautiful home with beautiful housewares and let me include furnitures, okay? :) Home furnishings. :)

When the time comes when the Lord grants our wish of our own home in Singapore, I will surely love the day when we shop for furniture and household stuff. Just last week actually I thought that I might need to ship a rattan living room sofa if I can't find the classic one in Singapore for our own house. Wishing! I want the classic style, I saw the most comfortable and beautiful white rattan sofa in Bacolod at the famous Cuadra mansion. :) Something like the below but bigger and white. And will add up voile curtains behind. Hehe. It feels and looks cozy. Simple but elegant.

So for housewares I usually buy from Ikea. It's one stop shop, cheaper and practical here, http://www.ikea.com.sg/en/catalogue/index.asp  browse your like! hehe

2 months ago I changed our plates and mugs to Ikea Dinera blue, from apple green before. I also bought new sets of Ikea PANNA place mats, light blue.

Everytime you visit Ikea you think whatever is displayed is needed at home. You will end up buying more than what you planned. Our kitchen wares are bought from different stores as the kitchen appliances. We almost have everything a little home needs, so shopping for these stuff is not all the time as much as I want. :)
