Treasures from the Past

I barely remember when I started eyeing for vintage and antiques. I have this belief that every piece has its own story to tell. A timeless remembrance of the past that helped to mold the present and future. Finding out important details like what year it was made and how it was used during the times just amazed me and also present market value of these pieces were rocketing. Great finds indeed!

Our Bed Moods

Our bedroom is our favorite place in the house. For me and my husband, it is our own private world where we can act in the weirdest way like sing out loud, play cards, watch scary movies and then scream to the top of our lungs, and a whole lot of other things that come between the sheets. 

The first look of our first room

Then with some simple touches it became like this

And then we transfered to another house and this became the look of
our room last Valentine's Day

And we just love the green walls to match our bed cover

A husband would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy wife than to a neatly made bed and an angry wife.

Scariest fun rides

I must say I love to ride roller coaster. I love the thrill and excitement that it brings. I first tried it when I was in grade 5 at Star City's Cyclone Loop, then I rode Enchanted Kingdom's Space Shuttle, and Universal Studios' Battlestar Galactica Cylon in Singapore all of these rides were funtastically pure FUN.

Last Sunday, I was with my two sisters and cousin we headed to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Excited and with all smiles even gigling as we saw the tall, nerve-racking rides from a far. After getting a map we tried to locate which one will be our first destination.

Superman ride

Medusa and Sky Screamer, looks so exciting even from a far

The first ride... Vertical Velocity

Insanely scary ride, going backwards

And going forward twisting

And then we took the second ride, Medusa

Highest drop point

the longest ride in the park

This ride took us to a different level, sooo high

 

It was a fun Sunday with the family. Once again we were happy to be like kids again curious, excited, and carefree.

My Baby Love

He is my "inaanak" (godson) and we fondly call him "bun" he used to have those bun-like cheeks when he was still a baby. This week we had a fun priceless bonding moments watching his favorite cartoon character, Mickey Mouse!

He used to be this cutie little angel 

And Ninang used to play with you, tossing you and you loved it

And time just flew so fast...

Mimicking Mickey Mouse even the voice 

Smiling for Ninang even if he is busy with his Kindle

And then he found this silicone bra padding placed it on his head while telling me,
 "Mickey Mouse ears!" LOL

Whenever I'm sweeping the floor he walks to me and will say "Let me do it"
Child labor??? LOL

And my little Bun got tired and slept in his "CAR" that was he said.
I tried to transfer him in the bed but he woke up and said I want to sleep here... Priceless!
