May Celebration

May is a very busy month with a lot of birthday Celebration. To start off, last May 3 was my Sweet's special day. And of course, one of the best way to celebrate his birthday is to eat out and shopping =).  Good thing, labor day was moved to this day since I don't have to report to work. Yay for the uber long weekend! So there, we just ate lunch at Pepper Steak House @ Marquee Mall, then after we've satisfied our cravings, we went to 3rd floor to check out the cellphone shops. I even got confused on which phone I should get, my first choice was the Blackberry Bold 9700, then Nokia E72 and lastly Samsung Omnia i910HD. In the end we left the mall empty handed...still thinking which one would be perfect for me. Then we've decided to go to SM Clark to check out the cellshopes there, the price range of the stores are basically the same with the stores @ Marquee except in INBOX, their gadgets are soooo expensive! I don't know why their items are very costly when in fact the items they are selling are just the same with the other stores, even the warranty package, they're all the same. Anyway, I was able to finally buy the perfect phone for me -- Nokia N900.

♥Sweets♥




Mango and Watermelon Fruit shakes, Bay calamari for appetizer and 3 of Pepper Steak's famous signature sauces.




Finally the main course =)




Stuffed and Bloated!


Another special day that we celebrated was last May 5, this time it was my Mom's birthday. We had a nice late family dinner at Maranao Grill (yes it was late because it was almost 9 pm alread). Just like what we usually do during dinner, aside from eating, we share stories, we have never ending stories to tell each other...and while we are enjoying our chitchat, my sister's and mom's phone is also busy, she's been getting a lot of phone calls from my cousins abroad. And when we finally came home, we had a little pictorial at our house.

The Birthday girl - my ♥Mom♥

♫ Tres Marias ♫

Last May 18, it was my Daddy's turn, it was his birthday. If he is still with us, he would be 60 years old by now. For further details, you can check out my previous post and it is all about him. =)

And lastly, Sweets and I celebrated our 3rd year Sweetsarry last May 22. Instead of saying anniversary I always say sweetsary, wanna know why? thats because it's unique and cute! At first, we have no idea on how we are going to celebrate it this year. For the past two years we always celebrated it by having a nice fine dinner @ Maranao Grill, but this time we want it differently. Sweet's plan was to have dinner at around 6 at C' Italian and after our dinner we can go to SM Clark to watch either Iron Man 2 or Shrek. I told Sweets that it will be much better if we skip the dinner part and just watch the two movies since we have a very limited time and I really want to watch the two movies :) So there, after work, he went to SM Clark to just wait for me there since he is just a few minutes away to the mall. And I of course am always late, I arrived around 6:30, we were supposed to watch the first movie (Shrek) at 6:10 pm hahahaha and because of that we have to wait for another hour for the next show time.  While waiting, we went to the department store to do some shopping. And when I say shopping it means Make Up shopping. Woohooo! Finally, I was able to buy Maybelline's Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black, it has been out of stock for quite some time now, I also bought Clear Smooth Mineral Liquid Foundation in Rose white and Angelfit's 2 way foundation refill in Very Light Ochre, too bad their BB creams are currently out of stock, I only have 2-3 drops left so I really need to get a new one. BB creams are always out of stock, I hope they could restock immediately. In case you haven't notice all of the products are I use are all from Maybelline, I really love their products they're really affordarble and works well with my super sensitive skin. Oh, before I forgot, I also bought 1 eyeshadow brush and 1 blending brush from Marinaud, their brushes are really cheap but they're really soft. Its better than those Elf brushes. Okay, so after shopping we bought some foodies at KFC then headed to the movie house.   Good thing we already bought the tickets for both movies, it saves time rather than falling in line again to buy ticket for the next movie. So there, the first movie ended  around 8:45, then off to the next cinema to watch Iron Man 2 which was about to start in 15 minutes.  At the end of the day it was all perfect! We enjoyed the day not because of the food we ate, the things we--I'd rather say I (because all the stuff we bought are all mine hahaha) and the movies we watched. What made it special is because we spent the whole day together.
 
Till next time SweetHearts!
♥Sweet Day to ya'll♥

Missing Daddy

It has been five years since I last saw Daddy's face. He left us five years ago to be with our mighty creator and life has never been the same without him. If he is still with us, he would be 60 years old. Until now, I sometimes daydream that he is still alive. I miss the talk and chit chats. I miss having our family dinner where everyone gets to share the things, experiences, or anything that happened throughout the day, we share jokes, stories just about anything under the sun. And whenever I come home from work then I would sleep right away, my dad would usually go to my room to kiss me goodbye before they go to the shop. I miss him sooo much, I long to hug and kiss him, and tell him "I Love You," when daddy was still with us, I never fail to tell him I love him, so guys if you still have your mom and dad with you, never miss an opportunity to tell them that you love them dearly. You have to tell them that you love them while they're still around and not when they're already gone.



We are very thankful for giving us the best daddy. He may not be a perfect father but he is close to being one...

Me and Daddy


Mommy and Daddy


God keeps his promise and he will not allow you to
be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time
you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to
endure it, and so provide you with a way out.

Have a uber great day!

Amigos y la comida mexicana

Last friday, me and my gal pals (from work) decided to have a short but fun bonding time before going to work  and of course most of you know that the best way to enjoy giggles, laughter and chit chats is that you have to have FOOD!

We've decided to go to Zapata's Mexican Restaurant. This is one of my favorite resto here in Angeles City not just because of the food but because of the place too,  I've never been to Mexico or Spain but once you get to see inside, it just gives you a feeling that you are in a different place, the yellow walls and pictures and mexican antiques is just perfect. 

They offer a wide range of mouthwatering authentic mexican dishes and they also serve the best iced tea! Just in case you do not know, I am a HUGE fan of their iced tea =) Don't get me wrong guys, aside from their iced tea, they also serve a wide variety of beverages, particularly cocktails.

Here are some of the snapshots...sorry for the poor picture quality, I don't have my digicam with me, I just used my phone's cam.

For the appetizer, we ordered Quesadilla. Sorry guys, I wasn't able to take a picture, we were so hungry that we immediately stuffed it in! So I just took a pic of the plate though, look how colorful it is. :P


 For our second course, we ordered Fajitas: grilled strips of marinated chicken which was brought sizzling at our table with mexi rice and grilled peppers.  This was served with Salsa, tortillas and sour cream...hmmmnnn oh so heavenly! 
 

And lastly, our main meal, Tacos: 2 large tacos with a tasty sauce - choice of  spiced beef or chicken ( we ordered beef) served on a soft fresh tortilla. Topped with lettuce, tomato and cheese.


Meet tita shawie and mariel rodriguez all rolled in to one and also a fellow blogger - Ads, (the one wearing black and red blouse) and Pao-Pao and her famous dimples (the one wearing yellow shirt)

 And of course, I should be in the picture too! Meet the ever so beautiful Toots and yours truly, forgive me guys, I look very tired because I went to Manila that day and I still need to report to work...what a bummer! and i don't have any make up on =) yeah yeah yeah, so much for the explanation ♥



 If you happen to be here in Angeles City and would like to have a mexican food trip, try to visit Zapata's Mexican Restaurant, located at 488 Don Jucio Avenue in Angeles City, Pampanga.

Oh and before I leave you sweethearts, I have a quick trivia for you. This (Zapata's) is where Sweets and I had our ♥first date♥
