final fling before the ring

A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride to be in anticipation of her wedding . It's been a year since  I  threw a surprise bridal shower party to my bestfriend. I prepared super naughty games that made everyone shout and laugh out loud =) . Held the evening party at their resort ( goodthing the cctv camera was off  that time ) .

 I even hired a hunk to dance over her. ( oppss..the pictures of these are prohibited  * wink *)

The guest brougt some silly gifts too. Guests are chosen from among the bride's personal friends, family, and other well-wishers.

give thanks

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

We give thanks to You oh Lord
We give thanks

child-proof your home



alec at 6months  -  2005



we're always busy,from the timew we get up in the morning until we lay down at night. we barely have time to relax. sometimes in the middle of a busy day we suddenly begin to worry about our little ones we left at home. kids, they are the main reasons why we should keep our homes accident free. here are some suggestions on how to maintain it safely and worry-free:


• store all breakables ( glass , ceramics) out of children's reach
• do not put jars or bowls of cookies, candies and other muchies where small children can get them easily. they may choke on them or insert it to their nose or ears
• plug -up unused outlets , there are fancy-cover available in hardware stores
• store toxic substances like medicines and cleaning supplies out of their sight
• put matches, lighters, candles in their proper places immediately after use
  
• put away toys that requires instruction in safe handling
• do not leave sharp materials on top of the tables where kids can easily grab them

• keep stairways and corridors well-lighted and clotter free
• cover electric wire and cords for a safer and organize rooms

i wonder

Just figured out why I'm overweight! The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my body says "for extra volume and body". I'm going to start using dishwashing liquid. It says "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove" =)

sleep, sleep, sleep

sleep solutions to try on

• don't sleep in on weekends, it will throw off your schedule
• limit your afternoon naps to 1 hour only
• don't exercise just before bedtime, it can keep you revved up for hours
• don't drink liquor. it may doze you off but will not guarantee good night's sleep
• don't go to bed either hungry or stuffed
  
  
• don't take sleeping pills, overuse may worsen your insomnia

How to get there from Manila

From Manila, take the South Luzon Expressway all the way to the new South Luzon Toll Way (otherwise known as the Alabang-Calamba-Sto.

You may choose to take the Lipa Exit or Ibaan Exit.

2. Take the road to the right of Mc Donald's (C.M. Recto Ave.). This road will lead you to make a right immediately after. After the first block, make a left to re-enter CM Recto Ave. Traverse C.M. Recto Ave. then turn right at the corner of the Mercury Drug store, which is P. Torres St.
3. Drive 8.5 km towards Padre Garcia town. Make a left turn at the road sign pointing to Padre Garcia. Turn right after passing the Padre Garcia town market.
