Fashion for Two Boys

We had lunch today at the newly-opened Shabu-Shabu place at the basement of Power Plant Mall, called Gansu-Shabuway.  I love that they have coloring materials for the little one :D

Here's a photo of Little J and hubby in "almost" matching outfits ;)

I try not to make them wear the exact clothes, but just similar ones ;)

Sleeping Habits

... of Little J, that is:

H, Donkey Kong and Jazz Hands usually happens to us ;)

Enter the Water Dragon

For the first day of the Year of the Water Dragon, we had dinner at Shangri-la EDSA hotel.  I had Little J wear his Korean costume again (para sulit), and everyone loved it instantly ;)

Then, we went up to watch the Dragon dance on the 2nd floor

Little J was pretty stressed out with the noisy drum beat though hehe...  Can't blame him, I was like that also when I was about 3-5 years old ;)

Happy New Year again!

Gong Xi Fa Cai :D

We celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve at Xin Tian Ti restaurant at Crowne Plaza Hotel with my side of the family last night, with temple hopping in Chinatown past midnight.  I just wanted to document what he (partially) wore to dinner:

Here he is getting ready. We got this Korean costume at our last Seoul trip in October:

At the resto:

Can I just say that their Scallop Fruit Salad and Abalone with Dried Scallops are the bomb? :)

A final shot of the family:

May the Year of the Water Dragon bring us good fortune :D

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Getting Organized

I'm so proud of myself this week. I bought myself some magnets

... and did this on one of my walls :D

I gotta be extra OC this year with so many activities lined up for 2012 ;)  This way, I know right away what needs to be done for the day or the week.  Plus, our marketing coordinator and I will be in synched when it comes to our marketing events hehe...

My colleagues found it amusing, too!  Which makes this "calendar" all the more a success hehe :D

We can be Anything :)

I'm featured in this month's issue of Good Housekeeping :)  I know, I look fat with my chubby cheeks ... I always do.  That's the first thing my mom said when she saw this page :o

I'm part of the six women chosen for their multi-tasking skills and how they can juggle more than just one "job."  

Hope you can get yourself a copy and get inspired to follow the dreams that you've been putting off :)

"Skyping"

Another skype session happened earlier tonight with hubby—he's in China on a business trip.




Little J took these shots :) We can't wait to see you this weekend, Dada :D

Mic, Please :)

Because our little man had fun singing at his grandparents' place over the weekend, I brought out a similar microphone toy (which I bought for him at the Toy Kingdom warehouse sale last year) for him

I was amazed that you can also plug in your music player—will try that out soon :)

Budding Singer

This video made me smile; shot at my in-laws house this afternoon.

Hubby sent this one earlier tonight, while we "skyped" :D

XOXO

Flying Out

I'm leaving with my mom on a short trip to Singapore in a few hours.  I'm always sad the night before trips like these, as I will be missing my two boys :(  Here's a shot of them taken last December 30, at Nuvali.  Will post more on this trip soon :)

Have a great weekend!

New Year's Day

The next morning, on New Year's Day, was spent at Cartimar.  Because hubby got his new bike, he wanted to buy Little J one also.

Little J was one happy boy.
He kept pointing at the bike and saying "bike" :D
Another new word!

Then it was off to Midas Hotel in Roxas Boulevard for lunch with my side of the family

Little J bonded with the boys and the gadgets

Here are the last two shots of the day:

Hope everyone had a great start to 2012 :D Cheers!

New Year's Eve

10AM: Brunch with the King family (everyone until the fourth generation kiddos like Little J).  We ended the event with a family pic:

Another one with me, hubby and Little J

Then, we headed off to hubby's house where hubby took his bike (my gift for him) for a spin

While hubby was out biking around the village, Little J played inside.  Look how he matched all the cars on the right colored squares—this was a first :)

He has colds and we asked him to take a break to take his medicine; he was such a jolly good boy

My sis-in-law, Joy, arrived with her two boys.  She's a very crafty girl, and she brought with her a Gingerbread cookie making kit.  So, all the three boys were busy making their gingerbread man cookie :)

Here's Little J's :D

We had dinner with my in-laws, and moved to my parents' place around 11:30 PM.  First up was figuring out how to light the wishing lanterns

Hubby was able to figure it out ;)

My dad and hubby got busy with the fireworks

Here are a few shots of me covering Little J's ears.  He was pretty "disturbed" with the noise hehe...

Looses are part of every New Year's Eve celebration, as they are my mom's favorite

Thank you, Papa Miao (my dad) for the fireworks :D

Happy New Year, everyone!
