Rainbow themed party

Not so long ago, we celebrated Ysa's ( our househelp's daughter ) Christening. Time flies so fast, now we are celebrating her first birthday. ...and as a doting Tita, I prepared a rainbow themed birthday party.

Bangs

Last Saturday, my best friend asked me to a movie date.... movie date with Kimmy Dora.

Ryan Bang's bangs caught me... Interesting bangs!

And on Sunday , after a session of pampering with my best friend, we watched Snow White and the Huntsman in our local cinema. I noticed, filmmakers nowadays are giving the traditionally known fairy tale a new face. It is perhaps giving opportunity for the adults to enjoy the story. In the classic tale, a brother of Snow White's stepmother wasn't mentioned. But the remake of the tale has introduced, Finn.

Meet Finn, Queen Ravenna's brother and ally....It's the bangs again!

It seems to be that the movies are speaking to me and reminding me of something. I have been reminded that it's my sister's birthday today. :))

To my twin sister who is 6 years older than me, Happy Birthday! To my highly opinionated; fearless; very thoughtful; funny in a nice and intelligent way ; creative and truly an artist sister, thank you for always being there for me . Thank you for putting up with my bratty ways and for inspiring me to be creative.

It's the bangs! Bangs matters! .... I love you a latte!

Eleven People

I'd like to share a clever story that I've read years back.

" Eleven people were hanging on a rope, under a helicopter. Ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because, otherwise, they were all going to fall. They weren't able to choose that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a
woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return. As soon as she finished her speech,
all the men started clapping. "

They say it's a man's world and life is tough for women. But hey! Never underestimate a woman. Behind that weak, shy, sweet and gooey facade lies a brave, strong and clever character. Be afraid. Be very afraid!

The Versatile Blogger Award

I got an award! The last time I got an award was way back in high school when I received a loyalty award. :)) Thank you Lil Divine for this one big surprise, I didn't expect this. ... and to my fellow awardees, Congratulations!

The rules of this award are the following:
1. Thank the blogger who gave you the award. Don't forget to link his/her blog.
2. Post 7 random things about you.
3. Give the award to 15 other bloggers you love and let them know you gave them this award.


Good thing I have thought about this a long time ago when I posted my "31 Truths About Tatum" blog post years ago. So, I copied and pasted most of it for the 7 Random things about me. Easy as eating peanuts! :)) ... but for the 15 bloggers, that's a lot! I only know and follow a few. So if you're one of the few bloggers i know, you're pretty special.


7 Random things about me:

1. I'm a cry baby. I even cry at commercials.
2. I love Christmas. Decorating as early as November and getting it off on the feast of the three Kings or the Chinese New Year makes it the longest season for me.
3. Clowns and mascots give me the creeps. It freaks me out. Behind that happy face facade is a mysterious, evil and creepy creature.
4. I hate ants. Killing spree with ants is so therapeutic for me.
5. My sister tells me, I eat icing on the cake like no other. I'm leaving it to your imagination.
6. I always thought that I can get good-piano-playing syndrome if I go with my brother wherever he goes when I was young.
7. I can be loud! I burp like a truck driver. I snore like a drunk and I fart louder and deadlier than Shrek. Take that!


... And the Versatile Blogger Award goes to :
