Birthday Treat at Paseo Uno

By | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

Thank you Dette and Brenda for your every year birthday treat!!!  I am so happy we have a reason to get together because I enjoy being with them

This year we went to Paseo Uno which we really enjoyed.  So nice to bump into Isabelle Cang and Charisse Chuidian from the Mandarin Oriental

 When you sit, they serve you this really good foccacia bread!  Which comes from the brick oven at the back of the dessert buffet

 The Nilagang baka is a must! I told the girls that it must be a specialty because it is highlighted in one of the stations. So we all had it 🙂

I had one prawn tempura and asked for the tempura batter crisps 🙂

I love the grill station!!

Thankful

By | Celebrations, Education, Homes and Interiors | No Comments

Monday night, Javier and I were already sleeping when James woke us up to the best surprise ever!!  Jaime came back for Thanksgiving!!!  I was so upset that day that he was not replying to my texts asking if he had arrived in New York City, only to find out he was on his way here!  The original plan was for him to go to NYC and I have been so worried thinking of how he will be there alone in the CONCRETE JUNGLE! 🙂 So thankful to the Lord for bringing our family together for Thanksgiving!!

Last September, we dropped Jaime in his school!  I love the greens surrounding the campus!!!

We wanted to make sure everything was okay.  How could he have possibly done this all by himself?? 🙂

He is lucky he has a great Papa!  I would not know what to do without his Papa

There were things already there from last schoolyear which they kept in storage.  When we arrived, the school had already placed them in their room which is a big help!

Each dorm or house has around 5 advisers per house.  Mr. Rodriguez is Jaime’s adviser.  We talked with him for awhile before leaving

Of course Mommy Pam is so prepared!!!! When we got to the hospital to visit, there were personalized kisses with Pepe’s name on them!! His clothes were all ready by the outfit and by the day! 🙂  And take note, the laundry bag of Pepe is also personalized!  I love it! 🙂

I witnessed the first bath of Pepe!!  The nurse came in and brought the crib to the bathroom where she bathed him

The crib already has a drawer which is complete with all the things needed for the baby!

Here he is with eyes opened!!! Pepe was full term already which is why when he came out – his features were very well developed already!  So adorable this nephew of mine!

Of course I am distracted with the goodies on the table!!!  Mommy Pam also prepared all the goodies already and so we had so much food to munch on there!! Take note of the disposable napkin with is monogrammed with the letter L!!  🙂

And his very cute room which was designed by Mommy Pam and has been waiting for Pepe to come home.  The rocking chair is so sentimental for me.  That was my first rocking chair when I gave birth to my first child and from then on, I passed it on to my sister, then my brother, then I believe my other brother and now it is with my youngest brother.  It’s already an heirloom! 🙂  It was originally white and now its turned brown to match Pepe’s room
