Cakes for Reef

And lastly for our youngest, Arkin Reef...

I have to say that we've been loyal to this bakery/pastry shop where we got these cakes from for 4 years now and yes, we are satisfied clients. They've always been part of Rush' and Reef's milestones :)

Happy 2nd Birthday Kung Fu Reef!

Our youngest, Arkin Reef turned 2 last January 18 and since we already moved in to our new home, we decided to have a house blessing-slash-birthday celebration in one. I did a lot of DIY stuff from party favors to decors and will share them all here soon. The house blessing was officiated by Fr. Jovic Lemoncito of St. Jude Thaddeus, Alijis, it was more meaningful since he was also the one who baptized Reef 2 years ago. The pictures will say the rest. Enjoy!

the Theme: Kung Fu Panda-slash-Chinese New Year effect.
the Venue: Moncatar's new residence at Terra Nova

Halloween Fun

My Boys, Rush and Reef enjoyed their first Trick or Treat together. Rush was a Cowboy that day and Reef as a Car Race Driver. It was more delightful knowing that Manong Rush became a finalist for the Best Costume award. Thanks to the Baltazar family who invited us in their home at Sta. Clara, we will definitely do this every year because the boys just loved the thought of getting candies and wear costumes. The rest are their beautiful pictures that afternoon.

Ready for trick or treat boys? Them in their first names:) Rush was tagged as Alton and Reef was Arkin:) They rarely addressed in their first names and I loved it that way!

Hi Cowboy! Where's your horse? :)

Hello Racer! Where's your ride?:)

Rush' 3rd Birrrday

Our eldest, Alton Rush turned 3 last September 26 and we celebrated it with birds and pigs!
There were no pabitins, clowns or games this time. It was a simple celebration in an overnight stay to a resort, a trip to a zoo and with his angry birds:) We love you so much Manong Rush:)

A Blessed 12th!

Happy Linen (12th) Anniversary as a couple and Happy Leather (3rd)Wedding Anniversary to us!

When I started blogging way back 2005, It was a choice not to share much about my lovelife. Before, I felt that its just too cheesy to share and that the idea of publishing it online will make our relationship mushier. But as I read back my old posts now, I regret not sharing a little bit of everything about it. I seriously tell that to myself now, I mean why not?!

They said we have the perfect relationship ever! Let me see, we've known each other since kindergarten... spent same school memories during elementary years... always end up as a pair in school dance or plays... we were always seatmates... he was my grade school crush... still classmates when we reached high school... he said i was his crush... started dating when we were 3rd year high school... officially together the same year... broke up but went back to each other's arms after 3months... went to the same university during college... took up the same course... unintentionally became classmates again... got the best thesis award together... graduated college together... and the list became longer and longer.

It was during 2008 that we finally decided to get married and on our 9th anniversary as a couple. Now, we are blessed with 2 charming boys that will always be a living reminder of our love for each other. We are always grateful how God made everything possible for us. It was indeed a long ride, bumpy and rocky sometimes but surely the trip was all worth it!
