Pasalubong Galore

Tuesday 28 February 2012

February must truly be a month for gift giving =) Our friends recently went to Florida and these are their pasalubong for us.

The photo does not give the 2012 Disney t-shirt justice. It is coloured blue and the Disney characters are so vibrant it can easily make anyone smile. Poj absolutely loves it. 

There's also an Aveeno Baby lotion for Poj, this is the only moisturizer that can put his eczema at bay. And there's a Burt's Bees lip balm for me. I tried this before and loved it, but never bought another one when I lost it. 

There are also Hershey's Special Dark miniatures and Reese's peanut butter cups as well as chocolate biscuits in the goody bag. And lastly there's a Mickey Mouse - Florida fridge magnet that stays longer in Poj's hand than on the fridge's door, lol =)

Thanks Tito Tantan, Tita Cheche, Kuya Cayden and Baby Kian for our pasalubong =)

Shattered!

Wednesday 15 February 2012

I took 2 days off a couple of weeks ago when little Poj was unwell. The first day was granted as carer's leave and the second day was meant to be taken out from my annual leave. But since I only had 4 hours of annual leave left I have to pay back the 3.5 hours that I owe. 

There is no pressure to pay back the said hours straight away but I just wanted to get it over with. I usually work 7.5 hours a day but today I worked for 9 hours! We were up early coz I have to prepare our breakfast and baon plus get ourselves ready for work & Poj for nursery, malayo din kasi ang house namin sa hospital. (Reminder to self - I have to do this all again tomorrow!)

So it was a very loooong and tiring day for all of us. My boys are now in bed but yours truly is still waiting for Mr Sleep to come pay me a visit. 

Hayz, I must be getting old! I used to work 16hours straight during my UST days but now I feel shattered only after working 9! At ang pinagbuntunan ng pagod? Ang box of chocolate na bigay ni Papa E! haha =)

My Valentine

Tuesday 14 February 2012

Happy Valentine's day everyone =)

Papa E is not the most romantic guy there is. He is thoughtful and caring - but not romantic. He would buy me gifts that I like, want or need and would usually give these in between occasions. But we've been together long enough to know not to expect anything on Valentine's day.

But he stepped up this year by giving me a box of my favourite chocolate. We also had a candlelit dinner at home which was really lovely and, yes - romantic. We know we can't go out on a date because we don't have any relatives that could look after Poj. But nevertheless, it was still nice to have a grown up dinner and have a grown up conversation.  We miss moments like this and we will try to do it more often...


Thanks Papa E ♡♥♡♥♡♥
