On A Wonderful Day Like Today

'Tis again the season of Christmas and parents are in a rush trying to find the best Santa gifts to give to their kids. Well, inasmuch as that I'd like to be one with the true spirit of Christmas, it's a bit of an exception when it comes to my kids. We went to all the toy sales in town. Name it, we were there, bwehehehe. Here are some of the 'major major' toy finds that we got (as far as I can remember). Chicco Circus Suprise at 50% off: Barbie Cash Register also at 50% off: Mickey Mouse bike for only 1k: Chicco Talking Driver at 50% off (speaks English and Italian!

We also enjoyed dining at the usual Tagaytay eating places (more on that later). The following day was spent on going to Sunday mass at Lourdes Church and then passing by Tierra Maria as a thanksgiving to the five wonderful years of our being together. We pray for many more years of happiness and love. Happy Anniversary Honey.

At least, I got to sleep and rest a little to recover from all the stress that I’ve been going through in the office. I’m actually just trying to make good use of time now at the computer before leaving with my hubby today for a quick merienda date. Busy couples like us need that important pocket of time to be together, to talk and just update ourselves with the things. I want to check out this newly-opened restaurant in Katipunan and try out their specialties. Afterwards, I’m planning on tagging him along to a place where we can check out some ceiling fans . You see I have an idea to put a ceiling fan at the attic. We’ve already pulled up our old sofa into that area an...
