Another Good Find! - baby stuff

For those of  you who love digiscrapbooking and are expecting little ones in the coming months here's a cute little element pack to jazz up your pages by Creashens (available at Catscrap). Isn't it just adorable? I love the little baby stroller with the sort of lacy crib bedding peeking thru. I still have a lot of baby pics of my ds and dd to scan and scrap and this is perfect for both boy and girl layouts. Two in one, right? Definitely, a good find!


Happy scrapping!

Scary Go Round

There's a new kiddie play area at Paseo de Sta. Rosa and they have this mini carousel for kids. So we asked the kids if they wanted to ride. Of course, they said yes. Well, I had this dream for them long ago that I wanted them to be equestriennes one day. I just find these horse riders so graceful...  almost like dancers on saddles. So up went the kiddies on the fake horses and off I went to dreamland wishing that someday they would get the chance to do the real thing. After two rounds, my little girl started crying and wanted to get off - they had to stop the thing for a few minutes so we could get her. Poor thing got scared. Oh well, maybe she would prefer those real dwarf horses where she can almost touch the ground.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Ever wonder how celebs or politicians can go from one movie premiere or ribbon cutting in one city and be at a wedding reception or press conference half way around the world and still not look harassed as most of do just inching thru the traffic in Metro Manila? Well, for the well-heeled and the powerful - a private jet charter or a private helicopter is one way to beat the traffic. I remember when we joined a tree planting event earlier this year, one of the government officials arrived in a helicopter beating the usual Saturday traffic in a matter of minutes. What a way to go! :P Of course for us mere mortals, we can always beat the steering wheel to pulp out of frustration whenever we get stuck in traffic, eh? :P


Drive safely!

Artful Blogging Challenge at Bookoto

Bookoto is having a blog makeover challenge over at their blog with lots of yummy magazines as prizes. I'd love to join the challenge but I'm quite happy with this blog's template right now but who knows I just might change the whole look altogether or start a whole new blog altogether just for the challenge. lol Anyway, even if you don't join the challenge you can always browse through their shop - absolutely mouth-watering titles to choose from and the plus factor is that the prices are in pesos so no need to keep converting using the ever fluctuating peso rates.Our family loves books and we could spend a whole day in a bookstore anytime but it's also fun to just do a bit of  'windows' shopping right in your slippers and jammies. :D. Check out Bookoto and support our own Pinoy online bookstore. You might find a new hobby to get addicted to. :)

Finally - Unlocked Cellphones

Isn't if frustrating when your relative from abroad decides to send you the latest cellphone as a gift and you end up not using it because it's locked into the service provider's restrictions. We have a few of those and they end up collecting dust because they couldn't be used.  I just found out today that you can actually buy (or ask your favorite tita or tito to buy :P) an unlocked phone. I'm not a cellphone junkie (I prefer other tech toys :D) but this one caught my eye. it costs a hefty $888.00 which I could use to get a new fully loaded laptop already (yikes!). But if you're into it, you might want to try this little toy out or better yet, tell tita or tito all about it. :P
