WEEK 47: november 16...

finally done packing all of sis. noelle's things to be shipped. the 2 big boxes at the bottom will be shipped by sea, and the rest (3 smaller boxes will be shipped by air). i sent some stuff for my family (through the air cargo) and i hope it will reach them before christmas. they said it will take 10 days to get there. so if they will be picked up on november 21 and shipped out within in next 3 days after that... by first week of december it should be in the philippes. well, i hope it will work as planned.

LAYOUT: week 45

i know this is late but i have been really busy the past week and our pc got locked out. i don't really know how to explain it but all my (recent)files are here and even if i got to connect to the net using our laptop, i still couldn't work or my recently downloaded kits and recent pictures because i couldn't retrieve them from the desktop computer. a friend fixed it last friday so finally i got to work on everything over the weekend. i'll catch up soon...

WEEK 46: november 14 - 15....

november 15 -- the first picture here was taken around 1:41 in the morning! nitz scored higher in bejeweled and i couldn't sleep til i beat him! hahaha this is really nothing serious but it just bothered me. so i played a bit before i went to bed (...a bit meaning an hour..hahaha) and i got a high score!! highest score i ever had!!ok...now you can call me a 'bejeweled' addict!!

after lunch we attended a holloween party! it was a little bit late but my friend, maria, just wanted a reason to have a get-together. it was a nice party! thank you, maria, for inviting us!



november 14 --spent the morning practising songs for the mass. i decided to take a picture of the church where i sing!!
so here is the podium where i stand...

and here is how it looks like when you are standing at the podium. i have been singing for more than a year now but i still get nervous when i go up there.

WEEK 46: november 12 - 13....

november 13 -- sis. noelle needed to buy some more stuff to bring home to the philippines as 'pasalubong' so i took her to carrefour.

november 12 -- got some new addition for our tree. nothing too fancy, just more stars!! it doesn't really change the tree much but it gives me that feeling that there is something new on our tree.

and when the kids got home they did notice the new stars. i took of picture of isabelle with tree...

WEEK 46: november 11...

i am posting this day separately because i have more pictures to share!!

first, sis. noelle arrived, she was the guest we were expecting. she was scheduled to fly back to the philippines on saturday. she arrived early because she needed to pack all her stuff that would be shipped back home.

we also put up our christmas tree!!! it might sound too early but back in the philippines we put it up as early as november 3 (right after all saits and all souls!!), that is how excited we are about christmas. so in our standards i am a bit late already.

my husband tried to video us while we put up the tree, and the kids were all excited to see themselves on camera...hahaha! nitz took a picture of them looking at themselves at the cam.

sis. noelle helped us put up the tree!!

time to put all the ornaments...


and here is our tree!!

this has been our tree for the past 5 years now... i am actually getting tired of it! but i don't want to buy a new tree or a totally new set of ornaments. maybe i would just look for new stuff to add on the tree...we'll see.

WEEK 46: november 9 - 10....

november 10 -- well, i started the day with a good cup of coffee and...bagels!! i was so excited about those bagels. the last time i had them was summer of 2008 (that long time ago!!!) bagels are not really common here. i found these in picard, they have it frozen. i wanted to try them and they were good! oh...and i put some philadelphia cream cheese (strawberry flavor) that my ate mel sent through tita tess. yummy!!

and for dinner we had baked chicken wings, mini-pizza and some salad! the kids loved it!!

november 9 -- another monday...nothing so spectacular today. started the day cleaning and organizing some stuff in the house. during lunch, i took a picture of sofia eating her noodles. she would get the noodles using his fork then she would put the noodles on her spoon then to her mouth...hahaha. that's how she eats her noodles!!

WEEK 45: november 8...

november 8 -- we attended mass today at 11am. then after mass we ate at mc donald's!! (the kids requested for that!!) then we decided to head to our photo-shoot venue. i was a bit hesitant to do it today because the sky is grey... very gloomy in paris. but since i don't have another time to do this, i decided to push through with this photo-shoot. so here are some photos i want to share!!







to my kids and my dear husband...thank you for supporting my passion in photography and scrapping! mwah!!
