I'm Back (hopefully)

First of all Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim friends!

I'm back, hopefully. I have not been blogging for almost 3 years.

A lot of things have happened, switch jobs twice already, the baby is now a sweet little girl who's 6 years old, Kuya is now 11 years old, hubby switch jobs so we had to cancel all our UAE visa's and exit in Kish and a whole lot more....

Kuya just turned 11 last July 12

Family Dinner

Little girl

I hope to maintain this blog again and write about my adventures, misadventures, family and personal life, fashion finds, random ramblings and anything and everything under the sun.

Family

Time with family is very precious, that is why at least once a week I see to it that we go out with the kids. Yesterday, we went to Al Ain zoo and the smile on my kids face are priceless. Good thing I had complimentary tickets so our entry was free. We really enjoyed going around and since Nichole is bigger now and going to school so he now knows the animals and really had fun looking at them. Of course, picture taking is included and I must say I am very happy with all our family pictures. It's seldom that Nichole looks at the camera during family photos.

Below are my vanity shots, I will always be my hubby's model. As is super hilig ko mag pa pic no wonder ang anak ko eh manang mana sa akin and I really like to dress up. My dress is thrifted and bought from the flea market. Naniniwala talaga ako na nasa nagdadala lang talaga yan, it doesn't matter how expensive your clothes are pag d mo naman carry.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Our company is into CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). We had a pink bake sale last week in the office where the proceeds will go for donation. Staff were invited to bring in food items and non food items as well in pink and we also dressed up in pink for that particular day.

We also attended a Fun Run for the same cause. It was really hot as it happened at 3pm however the kids enjoyed and had fun. I did not join in the run anymore but our participation was more than enough since there were entry tickets that the company paid for. It is a nice feeling to be able to contribute as much as you can for a good cause.

Rain Dance Pool Party

We went to a Rain Dance Pool Party at Danal Al Ain Resort last month. Super enjoyed the night of fun and drinks. We went swimming as well and danced the night away.

Super like this pic, stolen yan

What's Up?

What was I up to this past couple of months???

Well, I have had a change in career path from Human Resources to purely Administration. How do I feel about it? Not much really since I have been doing both jobs for 2 yrs now. It’s just that now it is solely focused on Administration. 

 My little girl has already started school in KG 1. If you are my facebook friend or instagram or twitter follower you would see my photo overload of Nichole. Almost everyday she wants to have her photo taken before going to school. Napakaarte talaga at meron pa syang bestfriend na boy, si Aeron as in everyday kinukwento nya. 

First Day of School

Demure

Nichole and Aeron

  She really enjoys school and I am so happy that she looks forward to going everyday. Nagkasakit nga ayaw ba naman umabsent, ganun sya ka enjoy pumasok but eventually pinaabsent na din namin at grabe ang ubo at sipon baka makahawa pa ng iba. Hay my little girl is growing up so fast at ang arte talaga manag mana sa pinagmanahan.

Lara and Me

Today is weekend here and hubby is on duty, so what better way to spend the day then to be with my babies. Nichos is turning 8 so parang "binata" na sya talaga. He usually spends his time on the PC, PSP or Playstation. Me and Lara surely have a lot in common, mahilig kami mag pa picture at mag malling. This morning I watched Barbie a Mermaid's Tale with her and it was really fun kasi nauuna pa sya sa dialogue memorize na nya. Here are photo's of me and Lara and how she has grown up so fast before my eyes.

I really love this pic lumalabas talaga ang kaartehan at kakikayan nya

 

Celebrating Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day with a dinner date as I won a buffet roast dinner for 2 at Palm Greens Restaurant. My friends are always telling me I am so lucky as this was not the first time that I have won a dinner voucher and we recently just won an AED 500 voucher as well to Bawadi Mall a couple of weeks back. My gift to hubby was a Canon 18-200mm camera lens which he has been longing for. The price is almost the same as getting a new DSLR.

The smile on his face is priceless

The dinner was really good. The food was yummy and it was nice to dress up once in a while.
