Happy 2016 From Our Family!

2015 has been a very challenging year for us. I am still in awe how we get through this year. But God is amazingly great that He makes everything possible. He humbles us and let us learn our lessons in very trial He gave us. He blessed us with more than what we pray for. Truly God is the greatest source of strength and hope.

May 2016 be as bountiful and blessed. Happy 2016 from Our Family to Yours!

On Spending Quality Time With Matthew and Daddy

Few weeks ago, Matthew had his first pajama party at school. I already wrote that we failed to fulfill our promise to accompany him to school. To make up for that, the next day we brought him to work to spend some quality time with him.

We did grocery first then went to nearest park to see the Christmas tree. However, the tree has no lights yet. Still, the little boy enjoyed our that day. Let me share how we spend quality without spending much.

We had first our merienda. Daddy bought fishball, kikiam and egg balls. 

Matthew was so excited, he immediately grabbed one cup.

And moved away from us. Feeling aagawan, haha!

Then, we went to near the Christmas tree. As I have said, there's the tree has no lights yet.

Daddy and I sat on the grass as we watched Matthew ran around.

That moment as I watched him, all I can see was the smile on his face and all I can hear was his laughter.

It's always a joy seeing Matthew like that. He was running na parang walang kapaguran. Then he sat beside us.

And told me, "Mommy thank you. I'm happy. Ang saya saya ko." 

I was so touched. Feeling ko nakabawi na ko sa kanya. That gave us so much joy in our heart. Pacheesy lang ng konti here.

Then after that, we went to McDonald's for dinner.

Gusto daw nya yun #AlDub Chicken Filler Ala King Meal. Look!

Of course, this McDonald's dinner will never be complete with this pabebe wave. Haha!

Spending quality time with my two boys always bring me so much happiness. Simple lang pero sobrang napasaya namin ang little boy namin. We will definitely do this again. I just wish we have a guitar with 5 string short scale bass. Sobrang sayang siguro to sing at the park.

So that's how we spend quality time together. Please share too how you spend quality time with your family.

Again, this is our little boy saying... until then!

Weekends at Home + #Aldub + #OTWOL

For almost 2 months now, we are spending our weekends at home. That's because our new house help takes her rest day on weekends and Nanay can not always go out with us. The ending is, we are always under house arrest. Okay lang naman kasi nakakatipid, hehe.

Spending weekends at home gives us time to have a little rest since we only have a one-day rest day. But since we are not used to just sleeping or being a couch potato, we ended up cleaning and organizing, and fixing things at home that needs to be fixed. The best thing about spending weekends at home is to spend time with the family and watching our favorite shows like #AlDub and On the Wings of Love #OTWOL.

Just like last Saturday. We watched #‎ALDubEBforLOVE‬. Even if we are not a big fan, we were very affected and kilig, haha!

My little boy did the Pabebe Wave again. So cute :)

I wanted to do the Pabebe Wave too but opted not too, haha!

But look who's kinikilig too. 

Then on Sunday, after finishing all the house chores, we will watch "On the Wings of Love". We also love this series but since it's airing is a bit late every week days, Daddy make a way so we can watch all its episodes. Yey!

As you can see, Daddy and I were still busy. He's repairing and sewing some of clothes, while I do blogging. Speaking of blogging, I am happy because blog opportunities keep on coming. If these offers will continuously come, I really needed to have a work space at home. I would prefer a good table with 5 foot drawer slides so it will be easier for me to type on my laptop while doing other things like crochet. Also, I badly need my own laptop. Daddy, please read this, haha!

So that's our weekends at home. How's your weekend?

The #AlDub fever, The Pabebe Wave and The Pababy Alden

#AlDub is just an accidental love team but look how they make the whole nation hooked in watching them in Eat Bulaga's Kalyeserye. I don't really watch them everyday because I am at work. But one time I got a chance to watch them, I felt as if I am an avid fan of them already. They bring so much kilig I must say. That maybe one of the reasons why millions of Filipinos are talking non-stop about them. The #AlDub fever is spreading nationwide and even worldwide.

And did you know my son is not exempted from this nationwide/worldwide fever? One night when we were having a dinner, he's telling us about how his school went that day. Suddenly, he stopped my hand and said, "Mommy, si Yaya Dub na-kidnap." I was not surprised because our househelp watch them everyday. He even said he's Alden daw, then he will make the Pabebe Wave like this.

I called him Pababy Alden. Pwede na, they both have dimples, haha! 

Anyway, watching #AlDub fighting for their love against all odds, and waiting for tamang panahon, is for me, what makes them an instant hit, a certified hit that is. We always love watching underdogs beating the odds and succeeding in the end. We are all excited for their happy ending yet we don't want the story to end. But for me, #AlDub is more than just the kilig they bring to each one of us. For it teaches us also to keep our hope and faith, to be patient and to fight for love.

Ayie! Even if I am not a regular viewer of them, I am greatly affected by their tandem. What more pa those who really follow their love story everyday. I can't blame them kasi nakaka-good vibes naman talaga. Just what we need in our stressful everyday lives, right?

Are you an #AlDub fan too?
