Welcome 2010!

Let's start the year with a bang! And continue the whole year with lots of joy, love and peace in our hearts.

I am really looking forward to the days ahead. This is a very good opportunity to live life to the fullest and make our loved ones feel important and cared for. Life is too short not to let them feel it.

I Love Log Cakes!

Log cakes are a thing here at SG especially during this festive season. I received this one when two of my colleagues and their friends went to our place and sang a few Christmas songs for us (2nd wk of December). They even blessed us with a prayer. Nice.. :)

Btw, the log cake is yummy. I think the little boy (my inaanak David) did enjoy it al well. Most cakes here in Singapore are a bit 'matabang' for my taste so this one satisfied my craving for Pinoy-made cakes. :p

Oh no! Now I am missing the Red Ribbon Mango Cake! :-s

Yotsuba Series - Blog Reader

As I've said, Yotsuba has accumulated a lot of pics but I don't have the chance to organize our pics that I cannot upload it all at once.

It gave me an idea to create a series as my task of organizing pics is a work in progress. I'd probably have other series' on the other stuffs I love..

I'll leave you with the cutey Yotsuba reading my other blog.. :p

I Love Avatar!

Just watched Avatar in 3D and it is freakin' awesome! It's the first time I have watched a full-length film in 3D. Lovett!

The first time I saw the trailer in the cinema, I'm hooked already. I felt the movie is really really great. And my expectations were exceeded ten-folds!

My two cents: the movie is really action and adventure-packed. The concept is really great. Graphics are realistic, crisp and state-of-the-art. The production is impeccable. Ooops, not trying to be a professional movie critic here. Just really enjoyed the film and I am overwhelmed. :p Watch the trailer in HD.



Here are some fun trivias from imdb.

You guys have to watch it. I suggest in 3D because it's more fun and will give you one helluva joy ride. It's a two thumbs up for me. I even want to watch it again. :p You'll regret if you don't watch it in cinemas. :)

Splashing Waters..

.. in front of VivoCity.

McDonald's-Coca cola Contour Glasses

'twas actually Mon's idea to collect this one. He became obsessed that he collected two of each color (lime, pink, blue, green, purple and charcoal). :p

Love ko 'to!

Snow in Singapore?

Not really.. Tanglin Mall's idea of creating a 'snowy Christmas' using soap suds in Singapore is really nice. Everyone seems to be enjoying it, minus the cold... But it makes me think how it feels like to spend Christmas on a country with real snow.. Hmm... :p

Weeeee, We have a Wii!

An early Christmas gift to each other. So happy that we finally indulged! haha..Mon, thanks for the title idea. :p


Would that mean I'd be too busy to blog? Nah! I had so much more reasons to.. :p Mon even blogged about it too. :D

Season's Greetings!

Play, Play, Play!

Please see this post about the little big boy... :p

My Favorite Spot

Here is where I usually eat lunch. Most of the times with Cel. :)

I love this spot since it is very relaxing place. The 'myna?' birds flying around, waiting for some food, the chameleons hunting for their lunch and the cute squirrel that jumps and plays from tree to tree. Nature-tripping! :p

That little spot is one of my sanctuaries... I have been there on times I just want to relax.. to reflect on things... to note the things I want to do or blog... to be away on the work mode for just a while..

I don't like rains that much because it makes my mood gloomy. So when it rains, of course we couldn't have lunch there, it adds up to the gloominess I feel. But then again, I look forward for the following day when we can again spend some time there..

I Love Nissin Seafood Cup Noodles

I still think the one from Japan is the best! Tried the milk seafood and it's also yummy. :p

Christmas is Love

Oh how I miss our families back home. Good decision for me to splurge a little and setup our autumn-themed christmas tree so that I'll be constantly reminded of our Christmas celebs in Pinas.

I really love our tree and I am having a crazy idea of having it in our living room even until Christmas season is over! :p It's just became a very good accent, that's why.. hehehe..

Here it is, all lit up. :D

I Love Wrapping Gifts

Hehehe.. so far here are the loots for the Christmas.. I stayed late last night just to wrap most of the gifts. Just a few more to wrap and I'm all done! :p

Wrapping gifts seem to be therapeutic. It's very relaxing though some 'complicated' items can be a headache sometimes. :p Nevertheless, I still love doing it.. :D

Here's the set of gifts for now..


I wrapped the kids' gifts using the Toys 'r Us gift wrap. Nice no? :p

I Love Modesto's!

Modesto's is an Italian resto here in Singapore. The food is really good, coupled with a very nice ambiance.

Everything we ordered was really yummy!

Carbonarra

I Love My Kimmidoll Wallpaper

At the office...

I got mine at the Kimmidoll website. I even signed up for their online membership and newsletter. :)

I Love Boots' Tomato and Tangerine Lotion

If only I can fly back to Bangkok soon and hoard it along with the Green Tea and Soybean too. :p


(See? I've used half of it already. In no time, it's all gone. Waahh..)

I Love My Nanay!

The love, understanding and patience that you have showered me through all these years are amazing and unconditional. I love you so much...Happy happy birthday!

I Love Marche

Located at Singapore's biggest mall, VivoCity, Marche is definitely a restaurant not to be missed. I love love love these..


Chicken and Seafood Paella Calamari

Will probably try their famous/house-special rosti though I think it is a very calorie-hugging dish. Their movenpick ice creams are a must-try as well. :p

I Love Snoopy's World

Snoopy's World, Hong Kong
April 2007

I Love Kokontozai

A Japanese novelty shop in Holland Village. Items are expensive though as most items are made from Japanese Kimono clothes.

Bought this Sakura and Cherry charm for handphones. :)

I Love This Photo..

I love love this pic.. This was from Weng's mac book. Funny eh! :p

I Love Pepperlunch!

Beef Pepper Rice! Yum yum!

I Love Starbucks Toffee Nut!

Latte, iced, frapuccino -- as long as it's toffee nut, I'm hooked! :)

I Love Matching Watches..

I Love Kinokos!

Mon started it all.. Nahawa lang ako.. :p It's his kinoko coin bank collection. What's cool: everytime a coin is dropped, it makes different sounds -- all from super mario game! :)

I Love Snowflakes!!

And I would probably start collecting any stuffs with snowflakes. :p Pic taken is from our Christmas tree..

I Love KFC Bangkok

Another Craving from Bangkok. No gravy for their chicken but it's delicious. The rice is so yummy as well as the shrimp roll. :)

I Love MK Restaurant..

Tried this resto in Bangkok, Thailand.. Their Roast Duck with Green Noodle is the best! :)

I Love Beijing Pork Dumplings!

One of the yummiest dumplings I have ever tasted. This was from Crystal Jade Kitchen, Holland Village. :)

I Love Our Office Restroom

Haha.. Just the door actually.. Can you guess where's the ladies' room.. in 2 seconds?

Confusing, huh? :p

I Love Cereal Prawns

Eaten at Glutton's Bay.. Was taken last May 4, Mon's birthday.. Suddenly, I'm craving!

I Love Muji..

..mainly because of their sweet treats. :) They're not too sweet but so so yummy! :p

Dropped by their BHG Bugis branch and bought this:

Left to right: Pet Orange Soda Drink, Soymilk and Okara Pound Cake and Sweet Potato Muffin

The soda drink is actually free when you purchase 5sgd worth of their food products. Nice! I have yet to try what the soda drink tastes like.

I Love Scallops!

Yum.. yum.. yum!

I never imagined myself eating scallops this way. I dunno exactly the style of cooking. But from the looks of it, it's like kinilaw na talaba (oyster). The sauce is oriental, with clear, thin noodles and lots of red chilli and spring onions. I tasted the sauce first and it was delicious. Actually, the sauce is just a bonus! The scallop itself is superb. :p

Ate this at Crystal Jade Kitchen Holland Village. What's so cool is that it only costs a dollar! This was because our bill exceeded 50sgd. Lovett!

I Love Yotsuba!

This was given to me by two of my very good friends, Ronnie and Gnet. I already have taken a lot of pics of her but the lazy me still hasn't upload any. :p Will just share a shot or two.. :p

Here she is..

And with her newfound friends (Mon's faves -- and mine na din hehe)

I Love Marron Cream!

Yes, this not-so-popular Sanrio character is my favorite way back high school. I am not a pink color fanatic but I think during that time, I want to veer away from common popular Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, Little Twin Stars, My Melody and Kero Keroppi.

Marron Cream was born on May 31, 1985 at Paris, France. A very birght and cheerful little rabbit with good fashion sense, good with handicrafts and making delicious sweets. (Courtesy of Sanrio site).

I don't have much Marron Cream stuffs. I only have a collection of Marron Cream stationeriesckers from Japan, and stia couple of handkerchief (from Tayne), a pen, a cotton buds dispenser (from Tayne as well), A4 size fillers, Multi-colored notebook and a key chain. I turned over my stationery collection to my nieces, the rest is still back home.

There are a lot of characters that emerged over the years but whenever I pass by specialty stores and Sanrio shops, I try to look for Marron Cream stuffs. But no luck for me.. Maybe someday I will be able to travel Japan (wishful thinking) and buy even just one Marron Cream item to rekindle my liking to it. :)

I Love The Esplanade..

The view is so nice especially in the evening. Shot taken at the Merlion.

:)

Just thought of creating a separate blog to journal the stuffs I love. Yun lang.. :p
