How Old Is Old?
Thanks to Blenda of OhMyGums for passing me this tag.
Intelligence comes with age. The older we get, the wiser we are! At least, that is what I believed in and I am the living proof! Age is just a number. What matters is how you feel deep inside!
Hint: I am no longer fond of going out. I would not go out at night if I have a choice, sometimes I just ran out of alibi so no choice but I prefer to stay at home after office and stay with the kids or just do a movie marathon. Do I feel old? Yes I do! I am a happy and contented 32 years old!

I am passing this tag to my blogger friends: Golden, Lina, Santhy, Ayessa and Schizo

Bought at Php 300.00. Isnt that lovely?


Bought in gold and silver. I love this!

They have an ongoing promo for clothes : Buy 3 and pay Php 1.00 for the third one! Truly a big catch! Great savings for a superb Italian made clothes and shoes.

Update on Ikea Products
We visited the shop Moebler located at 4977 Enrique Street, Palanan, Makati City. Its very easy to find, from Gil Puyat turn left to Bautista Street, then left to Enrique. Ikea signage is really small so you really have to look at the signage.
Ikea is located at the third floor of the building. They have good Ikea products and not too many choices. However, you can also order from Ikea catalog. You may also visit Ikea's website at www.ikea.com/au.
I saw the blue and red tables and chairs which I posted earlier but for my kiddos, its already too small for them. So the idea is already off!
I just bought 3 pcs of this lovely red waste basket at Php 180.00 each. Forgot to bring my camera so I took this photo from my blackberry, resolution is not nice!

World's Worst Ribs & Awfull Chicken
If you are craving for the worst ribs and an awfull chicken, there is only once place to go - LYNDON.
This is so creative. Is this an inviting or disgusting name? You judge, but for me, its worth a try! 
The people behind this name is brave enough to name it like that! I wouldnt. But different folks different strokes!

Avocado Egg Salad
My friend Janice invited me and the kids for an afternoon chika-chikahan with fellow mommies and ex-classmates of Francis from Kindercare. I must admit I can be very lazy in going out but just for the sake of my children's friends I went.
The afternoon filled with laughter while the kids were busy playing.. sometimes fighting over toys! Mommies were chatting and eating, while daddies were drinking beers.. so much fun! Janice is always so kind to be the host.. to be the cook... and she is really good!
One of the food she served is the Avocado Egg Salad which I loved most!
Ingredients:
Avocado
Tomato
Egg
Sour Cream
Lemon juice
Salt to taste
I just love to eat, no talent in cooking and preparing food! Will update this entry after I asked my yaya how Janice made it.

Story of Four People
This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when actually Nobody asked Anybody.

Sunday Activities
We had a normal Sunday schedule. Breakfast, then back in bed, just watching movies. At 11:00 AM, kids wanted to eat in Jollibee. Nothing to do anyway so we headed to Jollibee Niog. Boys got excited when the toys offered are Justice League. They both love Justice League. But when toys were given, Christoph was upset as there is no Batman.. he only adores Batman.. to lighten up his mood, told him that we will buy Batman in SM. Francis was happy to get Superman.
After lunch, we headed to Quantum at SM Bacoor. This is our usual Sunday. Just play and play until they get tired.
Some of the photos of my boys:

BOC Experience

We recently had a problem with our shipments so I have to go to Customs office to show that we are a legitimate company and that we will pull out all our abandoned shipments.
We initially said that we were not able to pull out our containers fast as we simply encountered financial loss. With the world recession, a lot of big banks and companies closed down and who are we, being small companies, to experienced the same? Why is that not a valid answer? Isn't that acceptable in Customs? We are happy not to close down, that amidst financial losses we managed to slowly pull out containers. Even paying the high demurrage and storage fees, why cant they see that?
I was invited by our broker to go with her so I can talk and explain the conditions of our company and why they cannot foreclosed on our shipments. Yes, we have a very valid reason as our shipments are being monitored by DENR and the same company in Germany.
I waited the whole afternoon last Wednesday and the whole afternoon again yesterday. But to no avail, I was just waiting for nothing! They said, I will be invited to join the conversation if they need an audience! Ha. Ha. Ha.
Anyway, at the end of the tunnel, I can see some light. By Monday there will be decision and hopefully its for the best!

Pizza Hut's Palm Card
![]()
Pizza Hut's Palm Card - is it worth the price of Php 349? Is it really working? Buy 1 Take 1?
If you ask any of the above questions then the answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE.
I bought mine when we were still in Alabang, around March 2009. The validity of this card is only 6 months. If you are a pizza addict like me, then this is a big help!
I cannot remember how many times Ive used this card, maybe 30 times or even more.. Imagine how many free pizza ive already received for the price of 349. Sometimes I wonder, how can they earn in this? My colleagues would even borrow my card for their family.. lugi kaya talaga ang Pizza Hut nito? Maybe yes maybe not.. whatever it is, I love my Palm Card! This is probably my 3rd Palm Card already..
For more information about Palm Card, visit this link
Actually, I just ordered from Pizza Hut.. so 2 family pizza is coming!! Yehey!

Buhos Traffic System in Cavite
I experienced the worst traffic ever in Cavite. Although this is a common complains of the Caviteno.. But today was horrible for me.
We lived in Meadowood Exec Village while our warehouse is located in Niog 3. That is approximately 1 kilometer in distance. We left the house at around 8:45 AM but I couldnt believed that we arrived in the office at 10:00 AM. Horrible! And we are only talking here in Niog area. How about Aguinaldo Highway? It could be worst than we experienced. We could not stand anymore so we left the car in the road, took a tricycle and let Eric, our driver, to fetch it.
This buhos system is I think bullshit! Why on earth do they have to apply that here in Cavite? What is the benefit of that system? Why the local government cannot hear the complains of the locals? Why they keep a blind eye and deaf ear over this problem?
When you are stucked in traffic in Cavite - you are dead!
Took some photos of bored passengers and my hubby!My bored hubby
