Another Milestone

I decided to blog about this lest I forget! :)

Kyle experienced another milestone last night. For the first time, he slept without a diaper and he didn't pee in the bed the whole night! :) He isn't potty trained yet but we decided to remove his diaper during his sleep because he had some rashes. We were prepared that he would pee in bed so we put all the necessary "precautions" like plastic mat, extra cloth to absorb the wetness etc...

But lo and behold! When he woke up this morning, the bed was dry! No "wee-wee" at all! :) I was so proud of my son!

Just sharing with you the simple "highs" of motherhood...

Michael Jackson, Gone Too Soon...

The whole world is mourning right now because Michael Jackson is GONE... I found out about what happened on the morning of June 26 (Manila time). I was about to check my Yahoo email when I saw the news that Michael Jackson has passed away. I initially thought it was a joke but I was shocked to read that he was indeed gone... Circumstances surrounding his death still remain mysterious although initial reports indicate that he suffered from cardiac arrest...

I feel bad that Michael was not able to finish "This Is It" - the final concert of his career. Charice, a Filipina singer, was invited to perform with him in this concert!

Anyway, wherever Michael is now, I hope that he's in a better place full of peace and happiness - something I'm not sure he was able to achieve in his lifetime despite his many successes in his career...

Michael, your music will surely live on forever! May you rest in peace!

Pistachio Crisps!

I have always been a fan of Frito-Lay products. For the longest time, Lay's Potato Chips and Cheetos Puffs have been my favorite snacks of all time! :) That is until I discovered True North Pistachio Crisps!

Unfortunately, I don't think True North Pistachio Crisps are available here in the Philippines... As such, I have no choice but to wait for relatives or friends who are coming home from the US to bring me home some!

Hay, I hope they make this snack available in the Philippines soon...

Where To Go in Davao?

My family and I are going to Davao in less than 2 weeks and I still don't know where to bring Kyle... I was hoping we can bring him to a resort or a hotel with swimming pool so he can enjoy swimming... We will be there for 3 nights and 4 days.

Any suggestions on kid-friend places and restaurants?

Florsheim,Naturalizer, Bossini Sale!

Good news for budget-conscious mommies like me! :)

I found out that there is a warehouse sale for Florsheim, Naturalizer and Bossini from June 18-20 from 9am to 6pm at Retail Specialist, Inc. (RSI), 2295 Jannov Building, Pasong Tamo Extension.

I love these 3 brands that's why I feel bad that they're holding the sale on a weekday! :( I so want to buy Naturalizer shoes for myself and Florsheim shoes and Bossini shirts for Kyle.

Actually, most of Kyle's shirts are Bossini because I find them reasonably priced and at the same time the quality is good - very cool and comfy! Florsheim shoes are a bit pricey but the durability is great and it's also very comfortable! For Naturalizer, well, I don't think I have to say more! The brand speaks for itself! It's synonymous with quality and comfort.

Hay, I wonder how can go to the sale....

Looking for McDo Bee Movie Figurines...

I'm currently planning for Kyle's 3rd birthday party and the most likely theme will be "Bee Movie" since he likes that movie so much! I know it's outdated but for some reason, my son really adores Barry Benson! He's probably watched that movie more than 10x! :)

Anyway, the party will just be a simple one. I'm not even sure if we'll invite friends or just stick to family. Nonetheless, I plan to have spaghetti, cake and ice cream for him...

The reason why I'm on the lookout for McDo Bee Movie figurines for sale is that I intend to use them as cake toppers... I was able to find some McDo Bee Movie figurines in Ebay USA but if there are cheaper alternatives here, I would rather buy the items here!

If you have old McDo Bee movie figurines which you're not using anymore, please let me know! :)
