This May 23, 2010 Morning and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. It seems like it was just yesterday when I’m still single. But now, I have a very loving and supportive husband and of course I have my very lovable and sweet son, Biboy. We are planning to visit Subic on our anniversary and enojoy the beach and watch those dolphins. I’m sure Biboy will enjoy it. We are all looking forward to it.

Bread dough is a claylike substance that can be used to create all manner of household decorations. The dough can be prepared in two different ways. In one method, flour, salt, and water are mixed and then baked in an oven, producing Baker’s Clay. The other method is a no-bake variety that uses bread and glue as its ingredients. Since both kinds of dough look and smell good, your children may be tempted to taste them. But please remember to instruct your children: DO NOT EAT THE DOUGH!

Here are some Helpful Hints on how you can make your bread to dough:
• Use bread one to three days old.
• Before kneading, work some hand lotion into your hands to help keep the dough from sticking.
• Refrigerated and stored in a plastic bag inside a plastic container, bread dough will keep for weeks. Put any unused portions of dough in a plastic bag to keep it moist and pliable.
• If the dough tends to dry out while you are working with it, knead in a few drops of water or white glue.
• Add dough onto dough by gluing. Or crosshatch the area where the pieces will meet, brush with water, and then stick them together.
• A garlic press will break if you overload it, so teach the children how to use it properly.
• If you paint your piece after it has been made, be very sure that the paint is dry before attempting to seal it.
• Do not place bread-dough articles in very humid areas such as the bathroom or over the kitchen sink. Clean each piece by wiping it off with a slightly damp cloth.

B.boy’s long awaited day finally came. We woke up very early and packed all our bags and trooped to MTR. When we reached Central, we transferred lines to Tung Chung line. It was a log ride but we were all very excited especially when we saw the Disney trains at Sunny Bay.

We were at the Disney gate at around 10am. It was a hot and humid day and thank goodness, we’ve brought a lot of shirts for Biboy. We all bought our tickets and Lolo, B.boy and I went inside the park. The rest of the gang went to check in to the hotel and leave our luggage there.

B.boy and I explored the place while we left lolo in one of the exhibit rooms. The first that we visited is Tomorrowland. We rode the Orbitron. B.boy pilot his own rocket jet amid the spinning planets. After that we were able to watch the Lilo & Stitch parade at the Main Street. We also rode the train in Main Street which quickly toured us around the park. Read more…

I can’t believe we’ll be going back to Singapore in July next year. Blame it on Cebu Pacific Airline Piso Fare Promo. We were able to purchase 7 airline tickets online and availed of the Piso fare promo. We just paid less than six thousand pesos, (Php 5,509 to be exact) including taxes, round trip ticket for seven persons. What a deal!  Morning is busy searching online for our hotel accommodations.   Papa, Mama, Ivy and Noreen will be going with us on this 5 day vacation trip.

How was your weekend? Mine was superb! The highlight was our lunch at Dampa MOA yesterday. My SIL and BIL arrived from US and they treated us there. It was so nice to meet them all again after 2 years. The couple really looked good and happy.

We had sinigang na Pampano, Buttered Crabs, Inihaw na Tilapia, Inihaw na Liempo and Tempura. Hahaha! It was quite a feast. I am guilty. I pigged out again. How can your resist such a fare? I can see my cheeks ballooning.

So when I went online this morning, the first thing I did was to look for those top diet pills. I saw a lot it’s just that I’m so scared to try.

We spent almost the whole day yesterday lying in bed while watching Pres Cory Aquino’s funeral rites. It was raining so hard and the weather is very inviting to just hug the boys at bed. I am happy because I got the chance to cook for them. They loved the chicken sopas that I made. It’s heartwarming to feel that they appreciate my cooking.

We went to Glorietta at around 5pm. The activity center is under repair so we have no choice but to hang out at Timezone. Our little boy had loads of fun with all the games there. He likes racing games, bowling and that game when you throw balls to hit the target. I can see that he’s into electronic games and would be asking us to buy him PS3 in a few years time. We better save up for that huh?

We went home around 10pm tired and happy. It was a holiday well spent. I love these little breaks that help me recharge.

Mama loves area rugs. We have one at home in our living room. She bought that one when we were still in Riyadh and she bought it at a cheaper price. It still looks good after 20 years.

I on the other hand are not so into rugs and carpets. Maybe mainly because it accumulates dust and I find it cumbersome to maintain and clean. You have to vacuum and shampoo it from time to time. However, while browsing the net yesterday, I found a website for area rugs. It features contemporary design and surprisingly, I was drawn to it. I’m sure Mama will be happy to know that I’m beginning to be a convert.

Mama & Papa has a very nice garden and patio at home. They both have a green thumb and so we have a lot of ornamental plants, flowery shrubs, and orchids. Our patio is used to entertain visitors and sales agents who come to visit their small home office. Recently, they’ve wished to hold Barbeque parties for friends.

The problem is that we do not have the appropriate furniture for this. I’ve seen some great pieces of patio furniture sets in one website. It has a lot of variety of styles and chose from and the prices are very reasonable. I’ll show this to them. For sure it will help them out.

Yipeeeeee! We’re so happy to be blessed with a bright and sunny weather. This is our summer’s last hurrah. I took a leave at work as we’re leaving today.  We’ve been waiting this for the longest time.  A nice time at the beach is the perfect break for all the stress at work.

Anyway, tomorrow’s the BIG day. We will be celebrating our 4th Wedding Anniversary. We’re pretty sure that we will be having a blast.

Hmmmm…how about European cruises next year?
