Zack Loves Music

Feb 13, 2012 by Paula

My baby is fond of the iPad. It’s where we watches his favorite music videos. Whenever he sees the iPad, he will get agitated and point to it. He will only stop when we give it to him and play his favorite video. If he doesn’t like the music he will touch and attempt to play another song. At one year old he is already humming some parts of the song, “Today is the Day” by Lincoln Brewster. I only discovered it by accident. I didn’t have the iPad within reach that time so I sang it to him instead. When I stopped to my surprise he continued the song by humming.

Hubby put together a video of his song. It’s not that clear but he was really singing there.

I guess our baby took after his dad when it comes to his love for music. I know hubby is thrilled that his youngest son is showing interest in music. Pretty soon he would be buying a williams encore digital piano or a children’s guitar for my baby’s little hands to practice on. My wish is he grows up as talented or even better than his Dad.

Weekly Dates

Feb 13, 2012 by Paula

It has been a month since we started our weekly date. If you’re married and are not going on a date every week I suggest you try it asap. I didn’t think we would have so much fun but we did. We always bring the kids with us wherever we go and we love bringing them along. Unfortunately, as a husband and wife we must also spend time with each other. So that’s what I suggested to my hubby a month ago. I’m glad he immediately agreed.

It was weird on our first date because we were so used to having the kids with us. Our date was just a simple one. We went to the mall and ate at Wendy’s. We reminisced the time when we first met – it was at Wendy’s – and laughed at our first impressions with each other. After that I went shopping at Forever 21. I had a hard time finding clothes among the dozens and dozens of clothes on display so it took me a while before I was able to pick clothes. Next time I’m just going online and shop at Damart. I heard they have beautiful and affordable clothes on sale. Poor hubby, he fell asleep waiting for me at the stairs nearby. haha! Yes, I’m definitely going to shop online next time.

Anyway, even though that happened he might have enjoyed it because he agreed to go on a date again the week after. We had dinner at Tokyo Tokyo for two weeks in a row. But the second time we went there I found a hair on my plate. waaa! So yesterday, for our weekly date we went to another Japanese restaurant. I forgot the name, so sorry! But we really enjoyed our food there and we’re planning to eat there again next week. After that, hubby bought me some chocolates and took me shopping. He’s really the greatest husband ever! I love you, Der!

We Grew Fat During Our Vacation

Jan 28, 2012 by Paula

When we were on vacation we indulge ourselves with the hotel food. All we had to do was to choose what we like on the variety of food available on the menu. We really did go a little crazy in ordering food. That’s why now we are kind of sorry because of the added pounds we took home with us.

We’re thinking how we can eliminate these excess fats we gained. I heard about the effectiveness of wii zumba and want to give it a try The thing about this workout is it’s not boring. The last thing I want is a workout that can put me to sleep!

Playing by the Beach

Jan 25, 2012 by Paula

This little one loves the beach! Just look at his photo enjoying the sand  sitting by the commercial picnic table. I thought he would hesitate stepping in the sand but once he saw his Kuya playing of course he followed.

It also helped that we were prepared. We brought all the toys that they could play with in the sand. There’s the shovel which you can see in the picture. We also bought his little buckets and a little sailboat for his Kuya. We were at the beach for 3 days only but look how sunburned he is already. Had we stayed there longer then I’m sure no one would be beyond recognition when we get home.

Why I’m Feeling Lucky

Jan 24, 2012 by Paula

I have never considered myself lucky. I was born to a broken family and I grew up alone with no siblings. I didn’t win any contests and I donn’t have any talents. Yes, I am not very lucky indeed.

But you know what? I think that changed when I found my husband. I got very lucky with him! Sshh, that’s our secret. Don’t tell him I told you that.

Anyway, here are the reasons why I scored high in the Luck Meter with my husband.

1. He’s God fearing. If you have a husband who fears God then for sure he will treat you right.
2. Great with kids. My kids adore him so much. He devotes quality and quantity time with them.
3. Talented. My hubby plays the guitar and he really knows his instrument well.
4. Sweet and loyal husband. I am his only one.

These are the reasons why I’m feeling truly lucky these days. We’ll be nearing our tenth anniversary and our relationship is stronger than ever. There were ups, downs, and bumps along the way but we managed to overcome it.

Hmm, maybe now that I am feeling lucky I might try my hand at the casino. They say that Luck and the casino should go hand in hand since you need lots of luck in order to win. I can think of a hundred things I’d want to buy if I win. haha! Trying your luck is so easy since you can do it in your laptop at your own home. You don’t have to travel to real casinos to try your luck. As for me, I’ll just try the roulette. It’s always been my dream to hit the jackpot there and catch the money with my hands just like in the movies. But if it’s online that’s okay, I’ll just be content with seeing my bank account with lots of $$.
