My husband is so simple. Walang kaarte arte sa katawan yan.
Sa food, kahit anong ipakain mo sa kanya, kakainin niya yan (Basta edible ha!). Lahat masarap. Sabi nga nila, may vetsin daw siya sa dila. Hahaha!
Nagbabaon si hubby everday. Mas gusto raw niya ang baon kaysa bumili ng food. Mas nabubusog daw siya and mas gusto niya ang luto ko (Naks!). Kasi nga naman, sa labas, magastos na, bitin pa! Nakakatuwa ano? Bilib nga sa kanya parents ko eh kasi raw hindi nahihiya magbaon. Yung iba raw kasi nahihiya kapag baon ang pagkain.
When it comes to eating out. Adventurous din si hubby. Kahit turo turo lang, ihaw ihaw or street food, kumakain yan. Mahilig din yan sa mga eat all you can and rice all you can. Kung saan siya mabubusog, ok sa kanya. Pero siyempre it doesn't mean naman na hindi kami kumakain sa mga bonggang restaurant. Hehe!
Sa susuotin niyang damit, hindi rin mapili yan. Branded man o hindi, susuotin niya. Actually, wala naman talaga siyang pakialam, basta kasya sa kanya, ok na sa kanya yun.
When it comes to shoes, wapakels din siya sa brand. As long as comfy sa kanya, ok na sa kanya. Sa katunayan nga ang pampasok niya na shoes is yung World Balance Easysoft lang. Yung tig P399.75 lang. Pero in fairness ha, yun talaga yung nagtatagal niya na everyday shoes. Natry na namin mula sa mura hanggang sa mahal na shoes, eto lang ang durable. Ang plus pa dito is waterproof siya. Di kasi siya leather. Rubber siya na mukhang leather shoes.
Pero ang drawback naman sa pagkasimple niya is hindi niya ginagamit yung mga pricey things niya! Alam niyo yun, para siyang may museum. Sobrang minsan lang kung gamitin.
For example...
Sa shoes, pagmamamasyal kami, mas pipiliin pang gamitin yung Happy Feet na buy 1 take 1 na nabili ko ages ago kaysa sa Sperry niya. Kesyo nakakahinayang gamitin daw. Ang sabi ko naman, mas nakakahinayang kung masira lang dahil hindi nagagamit. Di ba ganun ang mga shoes, rumurupok kapag di nagagamit?
Sa watch naman, ganun din yan. Yung Seiko watch lang niya ang ginagamit niya. Yung ibang watches niya, nakatago lang. Alam niyo yun, nakakaloka talaga!
Tapos eto na...
Nasira na kasi yung messenger bag niya. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, reregaluhan ko siya ng signature bag para naman bagay sa profession niya. Basta makita ko ang tamang leather bag, bibilhin ko para sa kanya.
Nung nagpunta kami sa Guam, dun ako naghanap. Mas mura kasi dun ang signature kasi tax free sila. So nakita ko na and binili ko na ang "the one"...
Nung binili ko yun, alam ko na ang magiging banat niya. Sabi ko nga sa mom ko, ang problema niyan baka hindi gamitin kasi manghihinayang yan malamang. Then, tama nga ako. Nung nakapagsolo kaming dalawa...
Doc Padu (mukhang namromroblema): Be, kailan ko gagamitin yung bag?
Me: Everyday!
Doc Padu: Ha!? Sayang naman.
Me: Niye! Kailan mo ba balak gamitin yun?
Doc Padu: For special occasion lang.
Me: Ano ka ba? Kaya nga binili ko yun para gamitin mo eh.
Doc Padu: Ang mahal kasi eh. PXX,XXX.XX pang aaraw araw ko lang?
Me: Ok lang yan. Tumi lang yan ha, paano pa kaya kung Prada ang binili ko sa iyo. Sabi ko na nga ba manghihinayang kang gamitin yun eh. Basta, gagamitin mo yun!
Anyway, wala na siyang magagawa. Nilipat ko na mga gamit niya sa new bag niya. Haha!

Christmas Came Too Early for Us
This blog post is supposed to be last last week pa... pero, as usual, nabaon lang sa aking drafts folder. Super duper busy talaga (yun naman talaga ang ultimate reason ko why I haven't blogged that much the past few months eh) plus I'm still adjusting my schedule since the birth of Ina plus Christmas season pa. Huhuhu! Kulang talaga ang 24 hours eh...
Anyway, I think we've been good this year. Ang aga kasing dumating ng pasko sa amin eh. Specially to my boys.
Bakit kamo? One Sunday, bigla na lang naisipan ng kanilang Papa G na ipagshopping sila...
Here are their gifts from their Papa G:
Light sabers and Spiderman figures for the twins and Darthvader Mr. Potato Head for Christoff...

Here are their gifts from their Papa G:
Light sabers and Spiderman figures for the twins and Darthvader Mr. Potato Head for Christoff...
Tablets for the boys...
Mahabang kwento yan kaya nabigyan ng mga tablets ang mga boys. Actually, gusto ko talaga irequest kay Papa G na tablets na lang ang ibigay na Christmas gift sa twins. They'll be using it kasi for their studies eh. As homeschoolers, they'll be having portfolio reviews (A portfolio review is equivalent to an examination). Since it's too much, na shy shy ako magrequest. Kaya, instead of requesting for a new one, nagtanong na lang ako sa kanya if he is still using his tablet PC...
Me: Daddy, yung tablet PC na pareho kayo ni mommy ginagamit mo pa ba?
Papa G: Oo, bakit?
Me: Ah... akala ko hindi mo na ginagamit. hihingin ko na lang sana kasi para sa kambal, gagamitin kasi nila sa school para sa portfolio review presentation nila. Yung iPad ko sana ang ipapagamit ko kaso lang bumigay na, biglang ayaw na mag-on.
Papa G: Meron ako yung Galaxy Tab, yun na lang. Ipaalala mo sa akin para madala ko.
Me: Ok. Thank you daddy!
So nung binigay na niya sa akin yung Galaxy Tab, I immediately installed some educational apps then pinagamit ko na sa mga boys. Nung nakita ni Papa G na all the 3 boys are taking turns sa pag gamit ng tablet, bigla na lang sinabi na bibilhan na lang niya yung kambal ng tablets para isa isa na sila and para di mag-away. Pero may condition yun, dapat may oras ang pag gamit and hindi madalas. Siyempre, I agreed to the condition kasi personally ganun naman talaga ang gagawin ko. Ayaw ko siyempre masanay sila sa video games and mas maganda pa rin yung may physical interaction.
Wait! Wait! May naalala lang ako. May funny conversation kami ng dad ko while buying the tablets.
Me: Grabe talaga ha, nung bata kami,
Papa G: ngingiti ngiti
Me: Bakit ka ngingiti ngiti daddy?
Papa G: Wala... Ang lakas mo talaga sa akin... May toys and tablets na ang mga anak tapos may kotse ka pa!
Me: Hmmm... Ang lakas kamo ng mga apo mo sa iyo!
Octagon OIC: Pwede po bang maging apo niyo na rin ako sir?
Hahaha! Nakakatawa yung OIC ng Octagon, nag-papaampon! Tapos si daddy, ako raw itong malakas sa kanya, pero sa totoo yung mga apo naman talaga niya ang malakas sa kanya at di matiis. =)
Then nung pabalik na kami ng parking, biglang naglambing si Ian kay Papa G. Ayaw sumama sa amin, gusto kay Papa G lang. Eh may dinner parents ko with my Ninong at City of Dreams. Di niya natiis ang apo niya, isasama na lang daw niya. Eh sabi ko paano yun, walang dalang extra clothes, ibibili na lang daw niya. Kaya ayan, may new polo si Ian at pati si Chris binilhan din...
And may pahabol pa, toy cars from Petron...
Kaya look at my boys, they were very happy with the gifts that they received from Papa G that day...
Of course, ako rin may blessing... naging maaga rin ang pasko ko... kasi my brother gave me a new cellphone... Akala ko nagbibiro lang, serioso pala...
Thank you Papa G and to my brother Paolo dahil napaaga niyo ang pasko naming mag-iina! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! =)

My Children: Blessing and Gift from God
In the Bible, it is written in Psalm 127:3 that children are a blessing and gift from the Lord. That is really true and I can attest to that! =)
To give you a brief background, my husband and I were having a hard time conceiving during our first few years as a married couple. It came to the point that we had ourselves tested which made us somehow lose our hope of having a child because we found out that I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and hubby has a low sperm count.
Then on our fourth year as a married couple, a BIG surprise came. I couldn't believe it that we were already pregnant not only with one but two babies. Alam niyo yun, sobrang nakakaiyak kasi we were only asking for one but God gave us two kaagad unexpectedly because, honestly speaking, we weren't trying anymore. And guess what? They came out on February 1. A perfect gift for our 5th year wedding anniversary.
For our next baby naman, come what may na ang thinking namin because I'm not sure again if I could still conceive kasi nga hirap kami gumawa before. Surprisingly, after 2 years, we became pregnant again. We were really hoping for a baby girl para sana quota na dahil nga tumatanda na kami. But I think God has another plan for us that's why he gave us another boy. And guess what? He came out on December 16. A perfect Christmas gift to us!
For our "last" baby ("last" kasi di pa sure kung last na talaga. LOL!), medyo napaaga kasi ang dating niya. Pangit man pakinggan, siya ay unplanned. Ayaw ko pa sana sundan si Christoff eh kasi wala pang 2 y/o. Iniisip ko kasi na baka di ko siya masyadong matutukan or baka mabale wala ko dahil busy ako sa pag-homeschool sa twins tapos siyempre ang baby alagain din. Pero siyempre, sino naman ako para magreklamo di ba? Ang baby blessing yan. Malay natin, maging future president yan o di kaya ang maging suwerte sa buhay namin. Anyway, our last baby is finally a girl. Katuparan din ng wish namin mag-asawa. And guess what? She came out on October 22. Of course, a perfect birthday gift for me. And hindi lang yun, magkabirthday pa kami!
Di ba ang ganda ng mga birthday nila? Laging may special occasion na katapat. =)

SWAG: Mid-June Blessings
I'm just grateful for the blessings that we are receiving. Though medyo hirap nowadays financially, we are still continually blessed and well-provided by Him. =)
Here are the things that we received in one buhos somewhat mid-June:
One tray of native eggs from Mama G...
Di pa ubos yung last supply namin, meron kaagad kapalit! Hehe!
Some goodies given by different med reps...
Nakakatuwa right? Kahit hindi pasko, ang daming nagbibigay. =)

SWAG: June, Please Be Good to Us...
Let me start my June post with a positive blog entry...
During the first few days of June, medyo feel ko na magiging maganda ang takbo ng buwan namin. Last May kasi, medyo sablay eh. Ang laki ng difference ng income namin from last year. As in hindi man lang umabot at least 50% from last year. Wala kasi masyadong in-patients si hubby eh tapos ang dami pang no clinic schedules dahil sa mga activities ni kambal, prenatal checkup ko, PHA and PCP conventions and some emergencies. But still, nakasurvive naman kami. Hindi pa rin naman kami pinabayaan ni Lord. I could still say that we are still blessed. =)
Anyway, I just want to share to you the blessings that we received today:
A tray of native eggs from Mama G...
Yes, talagang consistent si Mama G sa pagrasyon sa amin ng mga native eggs. Hehehe!
Lam niyo ba, last Monday night, bigla na lang yan sumulpot sa bahay namin ng walang pasabi. Nagulat na lang kami at bumubusina siya. Yun pala may dala sa amin na sari saring pagkain from Salazar Bakeshop. Sayang at hindi ko na nakunan. Ang sweet ni mother ano?
5-piece Chowking Chinese-Style fried chicken from Papa G...
Actually, katas ng BPI credit card purchase niya yan. Sa dami ng coupons niya, binigyan niya ako. Sayang din, pangdinner din namin. Oh di ba, masasabi namin na "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!"
Gigantic chocolate bar from a med rep...
Super duper laki talaga nito! Mukhang pang-ilang buwan na kain eh. Hehehe!!
Some cake, pastry and juice from a med rep...
For this one, nagtataka ako kung bakit di pa kinain ni hubby. I actually asked him why. Ang sabi niya, gusto raw niya makita namin and ishare sa amin. Ang sweet ni hubby, right?
We all got these things today. As in isang bagsakan! Kakatuwa di ba?

From Taiwan with Love by Mama G
My parents and my brother went to Taiwan early this week. It's actually a business trip of my dad with the Pillar's 5 group. He just tagged along my mom and brother. Sinasama nga kami eh, pero nag-pass muna ako. Lam niyo na, no clinic, no money kami (yan ang buhay doctor). Plus ang daming bayarin at kailangan makabawi sa laki ng gastos last year.
Kaya nga naman... Nagbilin na ako kay madir! =)
Actually, 3 lang naman ang biling ko. (1) Diaper bag - ang ganda kasi ng nabili ko na diaper bag sa Taiwan dati eh. Very unique and matibay. (2) Kiddie Toothbrush - may nabili kasi ako before na soft bristle na kiddie toothbrush sa Taiwan na mura kaya nagbilin din ako nito. And (3) Malaking Yakult - ito ang wala sa atin eh. Yung gallon gallon na Yakult. Hahaha!
Lahat naman ng bilin ko nabili ni Mama G. Kay Mama G pa, malakas naman ako este ang mga apo niya sa kanya. Here are our pasalubong from Mama G:
Diaper bag...
Kiddie Toothbrush...
and Gigantic Yakult...
But wait! There's more!!! Di nagtatapos sa bilin ko ang pasalubong ni Mama G. She also bought us the following:
Nougat...
UCC Coffee...
Soya Milk...
Wafer Sticks...
Shoulder bag...
Some treats from Taiwan...
Sabi sa inyo eh, malakas ako kay Mama G! Hahaha!
Thank you Mama G sa mga pasalubong! Mwah! =)

Pasalubong From Europe and Dubai
Papa G and Mama G just came back from their 3-week Europe and Dubai trip. Sarap nila ano? Panay ang gala. Actually, sa work talaga yun dahil sa business meeting with Crowe Horwath International in Paris. Sinulit lang nila yung pamasahe kaya nilubos lubos na ang tour. Kumbaga, nandun na lang din naman, eh di mamasyal na ng bonggang bongga.
Deserving naman sila for this kind of vacation because of their hardwork here in the Philippines kaya nga I'm very happy for them. Excited na excited nga ako for them bago pa sila umalis eh. Ang tagal na rin kasi nilang gusto pumunta doon and timing din dahil they just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary.
Sobra ngang dami nilang pictures and kitang kita sa kanilang mga mukha na they really enjoyed the trip. Wait, may naalala ako. Natatawa ako sa dad ko. Kasi nung first week nila dun, nag-aabang ako ng mga pictures nila pero wala akong nakita ni isa. Kaya nung nagkachance na makausap ko sila sa Viber, I asked him bakit hindi siya nagpopost and I told him na inaabangan ko pictures nila. Secret na lang ang sagot ni daddy ha. Hehehe. Pero wag ka, after ko magrequest na magpost siya ng mga pictures, ayan na, sunod sunod na ang pagpost niya. As in flooding to the MAX!!! Hahaha! Tawanan nga kami nung nagkwekwentuhan kami pagkasundo namin sa kanila sa airport eh. Sabi kasi ng brother ko na nag-unsubscribe (tama ba yung term?) na siya sa mga posts nila daddy dahil sandamakmak na notifications ang nakukuha niya. Hahaha.
Sa shopping naman, si mommy pigil na pigil daw siya dahil ilang kilo lang ang allowed na baggage for them. You want to see my parents' pasalubong for us?
Here are their pasalubong for the boys...
Talagang tinotoo ni mother ang pagbili ng boots sa mga bata ha. Sabi kasi niya sa akin bago sila umalis, that she'll buy them boots dahil maraming nice leather boots dun. Yung Patchi chocolates naman, bigay yun ng cousin ko from Dubai, nagshare lang sila sa amin since chocolate lover si Ian.
Here are their pasalubong for me...
The leather bag doubles as a birthday gift na for me since it was my birthday last October 22. My mom asked me if type ko and here is our conversation...
Mama G: Anak, eto oh binili ka namin ng bag. Leather yan kaso hindi na signature. Yung Goyard naman kasi tumingin kami ng daddy mo nasa isang daang libo mahigit tapos hindi pa leather lahat. Nakakita nga daddy mo ng €1,800.00 gusto na sana bilhin kaso sabi ko parang hindi naman worth it dahil hindi naman purong leather. Type mo ba?
Me: Hmmm... Ok lang naman kaso parang pangmatanda...
Mama G: Pangmatanda ba? Yan ang uso ngayon na designs eh. And besides, matanda ka na eh!
AROUCH naman!!! Talagang pinamukha pa sa akin ni madir na matanda na ako. Pero di pa naman ako 40's eh. Hahaha! Pero ok lang naman sa akin yung design, yung texture lang talaga ng leather na parang crocodile skin, yun yung malakas makatanda. Hehehe.
I really loved the everyday canvas bag. Ang lakas maka-chic eh. Pang-araw araw talaga. =) And the Christmas chocolates, pang display ko raw yun sa table ko. Ang nice din nung mga knives eh. Sobrang cute!
And here's a pahabol pa...
This is a ceramic choker and bracelet in one. Very Mama G ito. Siya kasi ang sobrang mahilig sa mga accessories eh. That's even during her dalaga days.
Aside from that, may mga ref magnets pa raw siyang ibibigay. Hindi pa lang daw niya naaayos mga gamit niya.
And here are the pasalubong for hubby...
Yan ang mga type ni hubby. Ang hilig kasi sobra sa iba't ibang klaseng cheese. Tineterno niya yan sa wine.
Medyo madami ba? Pigil pa raw ang pagshop ni Mama G sa lagay na yan ha. Hehehe.

Lola's Boys
My boys are so blessed because they have loving and thoughtful grandmothers. They are lolas' favorites! No choice ang mga lola eh kasi sila lang ang apo nila both sides. Haha. Kidding aside, talagang love na love sila ng kanilang mga lola. Di baleng wala sila or ang kanilang mga anak, huwag lang ang kanilang mga apo. Sila rin ang number one kakampi ng mga boys kapag napapagalitan namin sila. Kaya naman ang mga yan (Kulilits), mega umiiyak kuno kapag kaharap ang kanilang mga lola. Hehe.
Tignan niyo naman, kahit walang okasyon, laging may natatanggap na mga blessings ang mga boys from them. Yesterday, Mama G gave the boys one tray of organic eggs and grapes.
And today, the boys received a lot of PJs from Lola Es...
Oh di ba? Sa mga boys (Kulilits and Christoff) lang yang mga yan. Kasweswerteng mga bata di ba?

SWAG: A Blessed Week
We had a very blessed week and I'm very very grateful to God for it. =) Sobrang nakakatuwa kasi halos every day may narereceive kaming blessing. Small or big man ito, sobrang nakakapagpasaya na sa aming family.
Just like yesterday, we were given a free overnight stay at Lima Park Hotel in Malvar, Batangas. At least kahit may kasamang work ni hubby, nakapagbonding naman kami as a family afterwards. Ika nga nila, work and pleasure rolled into one. =)
Aside from the overnight stay, here are the other blessings that we received this week:
A box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts from a med rep. Sakto nga ito eh kasi Ian was craving for a doughnut the day we received it. =)

BBB Project
Remember, I have a secret project that I mentioned in my blog post here. Well, it's our BBB or Balik Bayan Box project.
Why Balik Bayan Box?
That is because we want to grant our parents' wish to receive a Balik Bayan Box from their own children.
I remembered kasi the exchange of comments of my mom and my MIL way way back. It's like my mom is making parinig to my brother, who lives in the US, that she never received a Balik Bayan Box from him. Na tipong kailan kaya raw siya makakatanggap ng Balik Bayan Box. Then my MIL also commented na pareho lang daw sila ni mother kasi she never received also a Balik Bayan Box from my brother-in-law who is working in Singapore. Hehe.
So there, I mentioned to my mom na ako na lang kaya ang magpadala sa kanya ng Balik Bayan Box. She thought that I was just kidding but sinerioso ko yun. As in kinareer ko ang BBB project.
Ilang months rin namin pinag-ipunan ni husband ang laman ng box ha. Every time we do grocery shopping, I made sure that I'll buy something also for the boxes. Ang hirap pala magpuno ng balik bayan box ano? Sabi ko nga kay hubby mukhang napasubo kami. Hehe.
Anyway, seeing our parents' reactions when they received their balik bayan boxes is PRICELESS. Worth it lahat ng effort namin. =)
First, when I brought the box to my parents' house. It was very late in the evening na that time. My mom thought that the box came from my brother. She wouldn't believe that it came from us. Nakatanggap na rin daw siya sa wakas ng balik bayan box. Hehe!
She even posted it on Facebook...
The next delivery is to my in-laws. My FIL thought na nag-grocery lang kami. Di rin sila makapaniwala na bigay namin sa kanila yung box. Hehe.
Here are the photos of my in-laws with their box via hubby's Instagram account:
Balikbayan Box from the Pinas...
Pangkabuhayan package...
Ang sarap lang ng feeling when we saw our parents very happy when we surprised them with the boxes. =)
Why Balik Bayan Box?
That is because we want to grant our parents' wish to receive a Balik Bayan Box from their own children.
I remembered kasi the exchange of comments of my mom and my MIL way way back. It's like my mom is making parinig to my brother, who lives in the US, that she never received a Balik Bayan Box from him. Na tipong kailan kaya raw siya makakatanggap ng Balik Bayan Box. Then my MIL also commented na pareho lang daw sila ni mother kasi she never received also a Balik Bayan Box from my brother-in-law who is working in Singapore. Hehe.
