I would like to grab this opportunity to welcome Cassandra Nicole to the Christian World. Nicole had her first baptismal last Monday. Nicole is my niece and i am invited as one of the God Fathers. Well, this is not my first time to attend such event but i still feel the excitement seeing her as she received her first baptismal.Here i took some photos before, during and after the event.

Nicoles cute clothes.

Preparing for her main event.

The baptismal Ceremony.

The Baptismal Party held at my Auntie’s house.

Foods and Guests.

I would also like to grab this opportunity to say sorry for all my blogger friends if i haven’t visiting your blog lately. I am just too busy with my work, events and other important matters but i will visit you very very soon. Happy blogging!

Yesterday, we celebrated our nephew’s first birthday in a private resort. We really had so much fun and in fact, a lot of foods were served. Some of them brought spaghetti, “puto” or fluffy rice cakes, ice cream and cakes. Since it is a swimming party, dishes are limited knowing that it is not our place and it will be time consuming if ever we bring a lot. For adults, beverages like hard drinks, vodkas and beers were served. We actually bring an outdoor grill but it took us forever to set the fire because the water from the pool were splashing and reaching the grill making it hard for us to set the fire. If we only have an outdoor electric grill, we will not be worrying anymore about those water splashes and it will also makes our work done faster. Anyway, we had so much fun and we are planning to celebrate my sister’s birthday on the same venue.

Milzon’s favorite fast food chain would be Chow King. We just love Chow King’s Siopao and Halo-halo and that’s what we ate last Sunday going after going to church.

We ordered 2 Siopao for us!


So Milzon Are you ready?

Timer Starts ….Now… 5…. 4…..3..2….1…..


Faster than the speed of light!! the Siopao is gone…
Okie dokie… Time for the desert!
Our All time favorite Halo Halo!

Enjoy!

it’s been a tradition already to have this game. Let me tell you first that this is not a competition , it is just a game and it
is all for fun. This is how i express my love into music. Blog Idol is 100% all about music where in a participant will pick a song from a certain song category. Every week, we will have a new category and then i will present you all their song entries here in my blog and all you have to do is to vote for the strongest song choice. The blogger who will get the least number of votes will be eliminated from the game.
This Year, it’s going to be more exciting because aside from the real prizes, voters will also have a chance to win the “I am a Certified Blogger” T shirt.

So happy that this site is one of the sponsors.

My all time favorite band ‘Tears For Fears” will gonna have a one night concert here in the Philippines. My dad is also a big fan. Actually, i first heard their music from my dad’s cd collection. One of my favorite hits from “Tears for Fears” is their hit song ~ Mad World. My favorite idol Adam Lambert also made his own version of the song which is also a big hit. TFF is formed by the duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. The concert will be held in Araneta Coliseum at May 2. Tickets ranges from P500+(general admission) to P7900+ (VIP ticket). Yikes, even though the ticket is quite expensive, my dad bought one for himslef ( so selfish haha). Well actually i can’t watch them on their concert because i have some important and work-related things to do on May 2.. So sad.. but i told my dad to bring a camera so that he can took some photos of the concert.

My younger sister, Mirasol, will be celebrating her birthday this coming May and I am very excited to it. Mom will take care of the foods, my brother Melvin will take care of the venue and I is responsible for the expenses. Is it so unfair (LOL) Anyway, I am also thinking of anything that I could give to my sister. She’s not a kid anymore so I think giving her a toy is very inappropriate now for her age. I want my gift to be something special since I failed to give one on her last year. I’ve been searching the web the whole day to find a perfect gift for my sis and I am very lucky to found an online shop that sells  Joe’s jeans. Here I grab a photo from that site.

My sis love to wear jeans especially those faded color jeans. I am so sure that my sister will jump out from her chair as soon as she see what’s inside my gift. I am so excited to see her reaction. Anyway, my decision is final, I will buy a jeans like this and give it to my sis on her birthday.

Here’s the last part of out discussion about staying away from buffet. The best way to keep your self away from buffet is do not sit near buffet tables.The sight not to mention the smell, of food is too tempting to resist. Don’t test yourself. Choose a healthier spot.

Exercise is Essential. During the holiday season, we spend a lot of time shopping and attending parties. Holidays do not mean we should also take a break from our exercise regimen. Stick to it! Your schedule is not an excuse to stop being physically active. Shopping can’t be that bad if you use the stairs at the mall or if you do legwork through the bazaar’s labyrinth.

Apart from attending parties, people are also traveling during the Holiday season.raveling can be quite tricky to eat and stay healthy. You want to sample the dishes you don’t have at home. With some dietary planning, you can avoid worrying about extra weight when you get home from that trip.

So that’s it. So i hope you’re now aware about buffet and the weight gain risk it could bring!

I’m getting so excited for this year’s upcoming movies. It seems that we got all the much awaited movie installments for this year. I don’t know but based on my observation, almost all the movies of the 20th century are remakes of the classic films from the 70’s and 80’s film just like the Clash of the Titans which is an original 1981 fantasy film about the adventure of Perseus. ilming was scheduled to begin in late April 2009, and the film is set to be released on March 26, 2010. Another movie remake is the comedy horror film entitled “Piranha 3D“. It is originally based on the 1978 film with the same title. The film is all about about the swarm of killer piranhas. Another interesting movie would be “The Expandables” which is an action adventure film with a star-studded cast. It includes action film veterans like Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke and a whole lot more.

We got great movie installments for this year like the much awaited Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 which would be the second to last installment of this immortalized  novel adaptation. Tony Stark is back with Iron Man 2. Another much awaited film installment would be  The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. There will be another installment of ” The Chronicles of Narnia” entitled The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Freddie Krueger is back on the screen as A Nightmare On Elm Street is set for another horrifying adventure this year.

2010 is generally for kids. Shrek is set for another movie installment in which i thought would be the last. The famous Lewis Carol’s creation “Alice In Wonderland” is an interesting film to watch too! Another film based on a children’s book would be “Robin Hood“. Unexpected but true, The film that started it all, The first ever 3D animeted film is set for a come back for its 3rd installment, it’s no other than the “Toy Story

Amazing, i just can’t wait to watch all this films!
