Back From a Dinner Invite

We just got back from that dinner invite by hubby’s aunt and boy! It was a fun, fun dinner in terms of the food and lively company. And yes, we will definitely be back a few days from now because they will be celebrating their Patron Saint’s Feast day and I am sure, the fiesta food would be oh so yummy!

Hello, apidexin? Hrhrhr…

I may have to walk off these food that I indulged in, crunchy deep-fried wrapped shrimps, grilled tuna (guilt-free food!) salad and glasses of my favorite ice-cold cola.

I am just letting the food settle down and while I am at it, hubby is calling me to share a Loumar’s Buko Pie Crumble or Buko Tart. That would be in my next post and I hope there will still be left for photo opp. 😀

Krispy Kreme For the Sweetest Mom Week 2

Here is Cookie’s entry for the Krispy Kreme The Sweetest Mom Contest:
Please click on the photo to enlarge.

These photos were taken during my youngest daughter’s 5th birthday.  We were booked at our favorite hotel and we invited the family over to kill time before heading off to dinner.  However, my mom who isn’t much of a “gimik” person initially refused to come and instead wanted to just go home and join us for dinner later on.  After some prodding, she relented although reluctantly.

Upon entering our suite she was surprised to see that we had one of the city’s best views of Manila Bay.  She took a seat by the bay window and marveled as the sun began to descend.  She was so engrossed with the view that she didn’t even notice that we were taking goofy pictures already.  What made the occassion magical was that my Mother, in her own quiet way, found fulfillment in simply sitting by the window and watching the sun set.  Having lived near the bay as a child, it was one sight that she has missed all these years.  And from our hotel window, she has never seen the bay and its sunset as beautiful.

She made us promise to take her along again if and when we stay there again.  Thats a promise I am bound to fulfill if only to see my Mom sitting by the window with a look of quiet contentment.  Nothing could be more magical than that.

Update:
Congratulations Cookie, YOU are THE winner 🙂

For the Sweetest Mom – A Krispy Kreme Contest May 17 – 21, 2010

For the Sweetest Mom – Krispy Kreme Contest here is Chats aka iMom for her entry:

Here’s my magical moment picture with my Mom. It’s magical because it was one of the few occasions that we went out on a just-us date. My mom and I live in different parts of the country and rarely get to be with each other. On this visit, I decided to treat my mom on a movie-and-pizza date. I remember we watched “Caregiver” by Sharon Cuneta, LOL, and had pizza afterwards, where we had these photo ops. It’s magical because it’s often simple moments like these that create the most beautiful memories.

UPDATE: Congratulations, Chats! You are THE winner! 😀

Say “Thank You” with Toblerone on Mother’s Day

We celebrate Mother’s day every second Sunday of May. One way to say “thank you” to our dearest moms. Those special people who we look up to as second moms, they may be our tita, grandma, mentor, teacher, or even our yaya deserve to know how much we appreciate and love them.

Though overlooked with their efforts mostly going unnoticed, anyone you’ve come to consider as a second mother has undoubtedly made an impact. Extend your sweetest thank-you’s to them – the same way that Toblerone will be honouring the unsung heroes of our everyday lives in a big celebration on October 20. And yes, your yaya, teacher and lola and all the other women whom you’ve regarded as your second moms—are invited to this event. In the meantime, make Mothers’ Day extra special for them by thanking them with Triangles. Thank them with Toblerone.

Be sure to log on to www.toblerone.com.ph and discover new ways to thank those 2nd moms on Mothers’ Day.
