A father and son bonding at Burnham

Last April was hubby's birthday and here's a photo when we celebrate his' at Baguio for 4 days. We went to his cousin's house and make a vacation on their home without interrupting their moments, lol. At first day, we just stay at home nd make some rest after our 4-hour van trip. The next day, we went on walking and just an endless walking at session road and bought some veggies and seafoods for dinner. So, in the morning we went in Burnham Park and play along with the lagoon, bicycle and recreational area. Its just a day full of joys and worry-free. After that, we went into the public market and look for something to buy, guess what- I bought just 5 kilos of lemon (lemon is cheaper there-only 25 to 40 pesos per kilo) because lemon here is pricey. And of course, I found something interesting...basil, parsley and mint. I'll post it sometime this month. Happy birthday daddy!

Sponge Cake (Spongebob cake) on Dylan's 2nd bday

I can't help it to put a lot of effort for Dylan's party- my 2nd year old baby last May 15, 2010. He loves spongebob and wants it to be his cake's theme. Unfortunately, mom is so busy with other things for the party. It is a good thing that Mamu is here to make the pinata and cooked the chicken balls aka chicken nuggets. Tita Lyn (my brother's ex gf) is also helpful for putting hotdog and mallows on the toothpicks. And also Ate as the ice tea master. So, I got some time to buy a smal cake at Goldilocks at around 300+ pesos and some for decorations. I found this embossed spongebob sticker at my Abubot's box. So I grab my spatula and liquid food color (blue) and started to crumpled the icing and make it look likes an ocean. I also got inspired with the chocolate blocks and pearl candies so I make it look likes a treasure chest. And of course, aquatic jelly candies and chocolate coins are a must. And add some really cute flowers brought from a local market. And the stickers look like a 3D object in there plus the cute factor of a stationery fish saying "Happy 2nd birthday Dylan"- a handwritten of mine. Also, don't forget spongebob's trademark- burgers! Dylan was so amazed with his Spongebob cake and very overwhelmed with his simple party, lots of kids and play and yummy treats from mom's kitchen!

Benefits of a kiss

Our little ones need more attention than what we knew. We often take them for granted whenever they want something and cry for it. It is very important that even though we didn't give them what they want-we always make something to make them feel good. The power of kissing is beyond what we thought of it, it is one of the most precious thing to give to our love ones to show our affection and their significance. A simple kiss can say a lot of thing like, "I love you", "I miss you", "It's gonna be ok", "I'm here"- its show different positive things and yet the simplest way to show our love. There's a lot of benefits from kissing, such as- comfort, encouragement, trust, amazement, humility, respect and both of the person involve gets the benefits. Like our little ones, whenever they feel upset they need our little lips to ease their pain. Of course, no more greatness than a mother's love. Happy Mother's day everyone!
