I miss them

0 Comments

As I was cleaning my files on my laptop, I saw these pictures again. This was taken one year ago during our weekend getaway in Puerto Galera.   These are my friends from my previous company.  

It’s been almost three months since I quit my job. It was actually a hard decision for me leave my friends behind. We were together for two years, and they are like brother and sisters to me.  I heard most of them left the company too.

I hope one of these days, we’ll see each other again.  I miss all of you so much!

SkyWatch: Fire in the Sky

10 Comments
Sky Watch Friday

The first photo was taken using a digital camera around 6 P.M. However, around 6:15 my husband went out and took the camera. I thought he was taking more shots of the sun set. But he did not.

The second photo was taken the same day, but using my Sony Ericsson K800i only. It was around 6:30 P.M. and it was getting really dark. It looked like there’s fire in the sky. Anyway, this photo could be better if my husband left the digital camera with me.

Weekend Snapshot: Birthday

9 Comments
Weekend Snapshot

Yesterday, we celebrated our grandfather’s birthday, Daddy John. We had shrimp, lengua (cow’s tongue), lapu-lapu, Bicol Express, and more. But my favorite is the birthday cake, the Estrel’s caramel cake:

Anyway, this caramel flavored cake is a chiffon cake but it was not too sweet. The icing is neither thick nor thin, very smooth, and light brown in color. The flower trimmings are made with butter icing, not hardened sugar in toothpicks. It is so perfect. Yummy!

As far as I know, it costs P550 for an 8-inch round cake with caramel filling and P500 without filling. And since this is a made-to-order cake, you need to order two days in advance.

Here’s their contact info:
Call: 3722965 or 3717938.
Address: 54 Scout Tobias St. corner Scout Limbaga. Bgy. Laging Handa, Q.C.

Aeirin is on Working Mom Magazine

8 Comments

One of my unfulfilled dreams has finally come true. Mommy Charm, Mommy Cara, and I are on the Working Mom Magazine October 2008 issue. Pinay Mommies Community (PMC) is featured on this issue.

It was the first week of September when Mommy Ruby asked us if we can represent PMC. At first I was hesitant, but Mommy Ruby convinced me that this is my chance to fulfill one of my dreams, that is to be in a magazine.

The interview and pictorial was done last September 9, 2008 at Bonifacio High Street. During that day, I really wanted to look good so I decided to stop by a salon. Funny, Mommy Charm was also there to have her hair done.

After the salon, we went straight to the meeting place. We were shocked that we had make up artist, because a day before the shoot, we were told that there would be no make up artist. We were so lucky because the other groups did not have make up artist.

Our photo shoot and interview took almost 1 to 2 hours. But it was really a fun experience for me. Thanks to Mommy Ruby for making one of unfulfilled dreams into reality. Here are some of our photos behind the shoot.

Snow World Manila

4 Comments
After our family lunch out, my cousin Karen invited us to go to Snow World Manila. I’ve seen Snow World Manila on television and I find it interesting, so we all agreed to come.

Snow World Manila, located at Star City, features the Ice carvings of World Ice Sculpture Arts Champions. Winter Wonderland Entertainment partnered with Star City to bring the Snow World from Indonesia to Manila.

Upon entering the place, I was really amazed by the real snow, real ice sculpture and real ice slide! Not too mention, I was really freezing. The entire place was -15 degrees Celsius, could you imagine how cold it is? Anyway, we skipped the ice sculptures and headed directly to the main attraction, the 68 meters long ice slide. Everyone wanted to try the slide, so it took us time before we can experience the fun. It was really cold, I felt my feet started to get numb. (I was only wearing slippers). Maybe after 10 minutes of wait, our turn came. To be honest, I’m afraid of slides, but this is a one-time experience, so why not try it. I positioned myself and getting ready to slide, but I felt my heart was beating so fast, then my dad pushed me…. I just screamed and screamed but not because of fright, but because I was enjoying it. Even my Dad and Uncle Nenad tried the slide. It was really fun.

Too bad cameras are not allowed, so we had our photo taken by Snow World’s photographer. (100 per photo)

Above photo: (Left to right) Jeri, my cousin Karen, Me, my brother Nikko, my sister Kiss, and Uncle Nenad. Above us: my husband Monch and my dad.

We only stay there for 1 hour because we cant stand the coldness anymore. But it was definitely an experience to remember.

For those who want to experience the fun, you may visit Snow World Manila at Star City CCP Complex. Entrance is only P160.00
