Healthy drink is in!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of TrickOrTreatMe. All opinions are 100% mine.

One thing that I am so proud of my little girl is her love of chocolate milk. She is a voracious eater, she loves her milk and she loves chocolate milk in single serve cartons. Chocolate milk is one thing common on our every visit to the grocery. It is easy to keep in our pantry or refrigerator but most all this product has no preservatives! I am very keen on keeping my child healthy on whatever she eats or drinks, so this very healthy drink is and will always be a must in my grocery items.

I buy and stock this healthy treat at home as I am fond of giving this treat to my nephews and nieces as well. And now I realize why didn’t I include this drink last trick or treat? I saw some healthy suggestions at Trick or Treat Me blog. Oh! I love reading that blog; they have very good advice on the importance of good nutrition to children plus I learned that by buying the healthy chocolate milk in carton we help save the environment. If you want to learn more about the health and environmental benefits of serving milk in shelf stable cartons visit their blog and share this Twick or Tweet Me news to all your friends in twitter! I know you will find the site very beneficial on your everyday living. And for sure you will find tips on your next trick or treating! Enjoy!

The first year

Yobib and I were already living together in an apartment in manila before our wedding but still there were a lot of adjustments, bumps and rough paths we had gone through for the first year of our married life. Yobib’s dad and my mother were confined to a hospital a month after our wedding. I was 7 months pregnant with yena at that time. There were lots of problems on the first 30 days, in terms of finances. But we made it through.

We had the worst fight on our first Christmas as husband and wife. I was 8 months pregnant when I ran away from their home and spent Christmas alone and crying. It wasn’t nice remembering that but now I smiled recalling how much of a fool I was. I don’t talk when angry while he talks a lot when mad. After few months of adjustments, we learned to communicate a lot. When Yena was born on January everything just fell into right places. We fight a little, laugh and cried with our foolishness and strive hard to be a blessing to each other.

8 months after the wedding, we have a 6 months old Yena :)

And just one thing, from the day we became a couple, husband gave the golden rule and that is to attend the mass and hear the word of God every sunday. He doesn't look religious i know, but he is really prayerful! It would be a hard life without God at the center of our lives, and I know and we try hard to make God the center of our union and our family..

Ultimate wish

Husband’s ultimate wish since summer is that 32inches LCD TV. I am so excited to watch my favorite soap opera at night and I know he is excited all the more. I thought we would buy the LCD TV last weekend, but the frugal him attacked so we went home with nothing. He said he would wait for another promo next month, he is quite certain there will be another promo and the price would be much cheaper by that time. I am hoping he is getting it right coz I can’t wait for so long already.

In addition to having that precious LCD TV, i know we would need Direct TV. It will be fun weekend to watch all our favorites. Am sure we would be locked up at home for some time and enjoy the magic of the LCD TV plus directv. I can imagine how my daughter would be singing and danicing with barney or spongebob while watching her favorite cds on that huge screen. And yes, certainly husband would be glued on the sports channel.

Now and again, I always thank the importance of modern technology. Now we enjoy everything right in front of us right at home. I was just talking to a friend who lives in California, she said one of her friend just moved to New York but doesn’t worry much about cable TV and channels. There is direct tv in NY in case you don’t know!

Air Force One

One of my favorite movies of all time is Air Force One! This is my share for Kikamz’ TCP with a theme of American president and his family.

I watched this movie when I was still in the Sisters of Mary School, I was high school then. But every time I see a copy I would recall all the scene as if I watched it just last night. I just love this move and I love Harrison Ford!
For those who haven't watched it yet, here's the summary of Air Force One:

The President of the United States is on a journey home after making a speech in Moscow. But on the journey, Russian hi-jakers take over the plane, disguising themselves as newspaper reporters. They want the President to ring Moscow and release General Redek. But they think that the President has escaped in the pod. But the president is really still on board air force One attempting to regain control of the plane and to rescue his wife and daughter. Written by Dilen Foster

I love you this much, I do!

October 26, 2007, The day I said I do the man that I love was the day I hurt my mother the most..

Me, Yobib and his family

My decision to marry yobib was against my families wish. But marrying him was my ultimate wish and it’s the best decision I had ever made in my entire life. I know I hurt my mother but I know sooner than soon my family will accept my decision no matter how much they refuse it.

Sunny friday on that month of October (full moon to be exact!), I went to the municipal hall without my parents or any of my family member by my side. Yobib was with his parents and eldest brother. We have one set of godparents to witness our union. I remember yobib’s eldest sister, yobib’s aunt and their neighbors’ are crying, they pity me so much. I would be marrying him without my family’s support. It always brings tears to my eyes remembering how I felt forsaken by my family on my wedding day but I can’t blame them.

Our godparents

So at 10am we were wed solemnly at Victoria’s Court. The judge that wed us was Atty Victoria by the way, that’s what her court was called by her employees. After that less than 30 minutes ritual we went to Balinsasayaw for our wedding reception.. The next day was the drink all you can session with some of our friends and yobib’s family and relatives..

I went home only to cry, my mother disown me for marrying Yobib. But after all has been said and done, my mother warmed up as the days pass by and now the atmosphere between her and Yobib has changed a lot for the better..

What Marriage Proposal?

I was a bit scared to write my entry at today’s CC. First, I have a very bad memory on what happened way back 2006 and second, I am afraid to get another ‘objective’ comment on my ‘dry writing’. LOL

But nonetheless, this is for my kumareng liz, so what the heck! :D I cannot afford to miss an entry at CC! So please forgive me if I am not as ‘gifted writer’ as my husband is. I will continue to write for as long as I like!

I already asked husband to join in today's meme. I really need to hear his side. Anyways, as for my account, there was no surprise marriage proposal, no flowers, no romantic dinner though I wish there was something of that sortl just like any couple do, hahah. But hey I love how my love story is written, it isn’t planned and it is what kept us together so I have no regrets. I just hope my bad memory serves me right. IF you still want to know our story before we said I do, read on..

Contrary to what other people know, I run away from home ALONE. Yobib followed me to Manila and decided to live with me after a couple of months. I run away from home November 2006. December 2006 we bought our wedding ring together at Binondo. You can buy cheapest jewelries there, i just can't guarantee if their fake or not. Oppps. Free advertising. ;)

We drop by at Binondo Church, he said he was going to marry me (not that telenovela style) it was a sincere talk between us in front of the altar. We were holding each other’s hands and we wore our ring for the first time while praying to God to bless us.

The ring at Binondo Church @ December 2006

So after that talk at the Binondo Church we head home with our ring on. We told everybody that we were wed secretly at a nearby municipal hall. I knew they didn’t believe us but then that was what we want to believe, that we are married already. ;)

And yes, we were married ten months after, the mushy and teary details i will share on my next CC entry! :)

All's fair when love is war

For today's TCP theme is about DRAMA films. I know i have watched lots of dramatic films and shed a lot of tears already but i really love dramas and the tears that comes with it. LOL. So what come's first on my list is my all time favorite dramatic film, The Good Son. Boy, i cried a river while watching that drama from way back when.

Anyways, yesterday husband and i watched this 2009 film OBSESSED and i was really obsessed. The film has a negative reviews but for me it was quiet good! It was like riding a roller coaster ride with my emotions, i was really moved by the movie but surprisingly i didn't cry! Though, I lost my favorite pearl earrings while watching... ihhhh i was so mad at Ali Larter's character i threw my earring somewhere, LOL! Toldyah i was really into that film yesterday. LOL

For a story summary:
A successful asset manager, who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage. But a temp worker starts stalking him, all the things he's worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy.

Patek Fake Watches and their Rough Features

The presence of the original and replica Patek watches is very real in so many online and physical shops. But, this presence is being challenged today by the reality of the Patek Philippe fake watches which also co-exist with them both online and else where in the world.

Patek fake watches are indeed available today and they are posing a great challenge to the entire world of the original and replica Patek watches of old. There are so many ways to use in detecting the Patek fake watches from the replicas. One way is by getting to know the rough features of these fake brands.

Here are some of the rough features of Patek Fake watches:

• Patek fake watches have very glaring rough edges in their various appearances. Sometimes many of them are very shapeless when you critically observe them well.

• Patek Fake watches have poorly designed bracelets which are mainly coated with particles of stainless steel. The bracelets are in no way stainless as they do wear off after some months of purchase.

• Facially, the glasses of Patek Fake watches are made from poor quality plastic materials which look like pure mineral crystal glass used in the production of the originals and the replicas. The plastic glass used in the production of the Patek Fake watches normally allow and enjoy all manner of scratches. This makes the watches to look very old after few months of purchase.

• Patek fake watches are also known for their lack of longevity which is a basic characteristic of good watches. Such fakes watches normally get spoilt after few months of purchase.

• In all, Patek fake watches are also very cheap and very much available on line. Many have fallen victims of their usage.

We’re in love!

The atmosphere after our ‘friendly’ date at chowking had change between us. No more endless teasing from Yobib, all has changed for the better. He cares for me like a very ardent suitor.

I always look forward to weekends, for our table tennis bonding time. I am always excited to see my emails, half of them came from him. I love chatting with him all day long.. Everything looks so brand new. We would go out on weekends for a movie date.. Stroll at baywalk.. Roam Tagaytay.. Talk endlessly every time all the time..

The conflict began when my parents knew about our relationship. As I was engaged to be married to my then BF, they look at Yobib as a villain. Like a child, they don’t want me to go out, scared that I might go with Yobib and see him somewhere else. Suffocated, I runaway. They just didn’t understand that my love for Yobib has gone a very long way than my love for the man I am supposed to get married to. With Yobib, I feel loved, adored and cared for all the time.

The MUSHROOM by the way, started from the moment we were in love. We were like mushrooms sprouting in the shade, afraid to show our love in public.. But then love really conquers all! Now our love is like mushrooms sprouting everywhere.. LOL

How about you? Care to share your love story? Join us at Couples Corner hosted by my Mareng Liz. See you!

PS:
Today, 28th of October, marks our 39th month as lovers! Happy Monthsary to the man who always makes me happy, sad, mad and insane! For better and for worst baby! The best is still yet to come! I LOVE YOU!
