Last weekend, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have been bombarded by tons and tons of photos from various Halloween parties. I loved seeing all the creative costumes online, especially photos of kids who are all smiles in their cute costumes. I never really got the chance to go trick or treating when I was young. Come to think of it, I don't think it was even a 'thing' back in the 90's. What I remember from the halloweens of my childhood were the endless scary stories from  friends, the moments when I would try not to go to the bathroom after watching "Magandang Gabi, Bayan", and of co ..read more

Michael - or Mikey - has been my friend since 2008. I met him freshman year. I never really noticed him outright, until we were asked to introduce ourselves in class. His introduction went a little like this:     "Hi, I am Michael Llanes. I am 12 years old 4 years ago."  It made the class laugh. I honestly couldn't remember what happened next, but what I am sure of is that at that moment, 10 years ago, I found one of the best persons in my life. Mikel is always the life of the party. The extrovert to my introverted self. Oftentimes, we would mock him because he ..read more

Hey, everyone! Can you believe it? We are halfway through the year!! I have been inactive for too long. :D Anyway, last May 28 (I know, I know, that's 2 months too late), my husband turned 28.  Instead of throwing an all-night walwalan like he used to, he decided to spend it with his two favorite girls - Klongski and me. :) We went to Ace Water Spa. Klong loves the spa so much, she started when she was barely a year old. Also, my husband is working long hours in the kitchen and he really deserves to be pampered. Unfortunately, taking pictures is strictly prohibited in the spa ..read more

Hello, everyone! It has been 4 weeks since we all said goodbye to 2017, and prayed that 2018 will be better. I originally wanted to post something more personal (probably more dramatic) as a year ender, but 2018 proved to be a bit busier than the last, at least for me, so I might as well just make this a quick one. Here's my year in review, suck and sweet edition (the good and the bad). Suck:  1. We failed to zero out our bucket list for 2017. -   My husband almost never avails his leave incentive, and he also goes to work even on holidays, so it is really hard for us to ..read more

Disclaimer: This is a picture-heavy post.  Last August, my mother-in-law celebrated her 60th birthday. It was a very memorable one not only for her, but for me as well, because not only did I get to spend the entire weekend with my husband's entire family, I also witnessed how much my husband and his brothers love their mom, one thing that I hope I could experience from my daughter, someday. Her party was held at Tres Pinos Beach resort in Infanta, Quezon. Before I begin showing you the party pictures, let me tell you about my uber-talented sister-in-law first. My Ate Abi is a nurse ..read more

Hello, hello! It's been a while since I last posted my little madam's OOTDs. I'm telling you, she is growing up fast. Last time I checked, she still cannot say a straight word, and now, she's talking about how I should only have a crush on one guy - her tatay. (will blog about this soon on Klongversations) Anyways, July and August have both been busy months for the entire family, with our brother-in-law and his family coming home from Kuwait, to the preparations (read it here) and the party for my mother-in-law (will blog about this next), to the time that we had to bring Klong to her doctor ..read more

A few months back, my brothers and sisters-in-law created a group chat so that we could all plan a party in celebration of my Mother-in-law's 60th birthday. Yes, it took us months to prepare because the Perez brothers are everywhere, one is in Kuwait, one is in Teresa, Rizal, another one is in Laguna, and only two are here in Pasig. My MIL also wanted to celebrate in Infanta, Quezon because that is where most of her relatives are. August 13, 2017, we all drove up to Quezon to prepare for her party which will be held the following day. I will dedicate a separate blog for my MIL's special day ..read more

I know I originally wanted to post Klong's OOTDs on a monthly basis, but I wasn't able to do so, because we barely went out lately, and we also haven't done any little madam shopping for quite a while, hence, the lack of OOTD entries. Hahaha. On the very few occasions that we left home, I find it harder to take good photos of Klong. Maybe it's because she is hyper, and wants to run around all the time. Anyhoo, here are some of the pictures that I have of her for the past weeks. ♥♥ At BSA Twin Towers: Swimsuit - Taytay Market, Cover-up - Pasig Market At Kanto Breakfast: Dre ..read more

Kidzoona is still Klong's favorite place. It's her 4th time there (5th, if you consider the first time she went inside but didn't actually play because she was still 4 months old then), but she still gets so excited whenever I tell her that we will be going to Kidzoona again. 2 weeks ago, we brought her back to her happy place. As usual, Klong was ecstatic. We barely made it to the play area when she started jumping and yelling "BAAAAALLLSSSS!!!!" and off she went to the ball pit. I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures because I was also busy playing and running after Klong. Here are som ..read more

Disclaimer: Selfie overload Happy weekend, guys! Unfortunately for me, I work on weekends. This afternoon, I do not have much to do at work so I looked at my old photos in facebook. I realized just how much of a roller coaster my weight is. I had my senti mode on upon looking at my pictures during those pre-Klongski years. I also had a short trip down memory lane, and realized that before I got married, I was edgy, I was adventurous, I was carefree. Oh well, I miss that personality but of course, nothing beats being a mom to my little madam, even if it means letting go of my short shorts, my ..read more
