27th!

Last December 17 was my 27th birthday. At the start of the day it didn't turn out right BUT as the hour passes, it was getting better and better and at the end of the day ~ it was the B-E-S-T!

7:00 am ♥ prepared breakfast and "baon" for mommy and sheela since they have no time to cook at the store. After helping out at the kitchen, time to water the plants. Sweep the dried leaves and dirt in front of the house.

8:48 am ♥ slept for a couple of hours, prepared the things that i have to bring along with me:
Wallet -
Cellphone -
List of names of our ina anaks -
keys -
And of course, the most important of all, Kikay kit -

11:30 am ♥ Called Sheela and asked her to pick me up since we are going to have lunch at the store together, Mommy insisted that I need to eat pancit since it is my special day - long life you know hihihi.

1:30 pm ♥ Went to a bridal boutique in plaridel for Ate Carol's Wedding since I'm one of the secondary sponsors. Then, went to pine rose to buy some stuff mommy asked me to buy.

2:00 + pm (i can't remember the exact time) ♥ Finally, I'm at SM and I was just in time I think. Finally Sweets didn't have to wait for me since I'm always late. Christmas shopping - Part 1
4:30 pm ♥ have to go back @ the store to pick up mommy and Sheela since 5 pm is our closing time. At the same time, Sweets told me he needs to go home as well. After I got home, time for retouch coz you have to look fresh all the time ( wink...wink...). Then I left again....off to NiQ's house.

7:10 pm ♥ I'm at Nikki San's house to pick up my pinky cupcakes she baked for my special day. Texted Sweets that I'm on my way to SM again...Then, just when I need my phone-- Battery Empty! It was so frustrating and annoying!

Pinky Cup Cakes for my special day baked by NiQ

7:48 pm ♥ Finally I'm back at SM. Christmas shopping - Part 2.

9:00 pm ♥ Dinner with Sweets and got my birthday present and this actually made my day! The gift was well perfect but what made it super special was the effort on how he got my present, it was "to the highest level!" woohoo! hihihi

Wilton's Deluxe Tip Set - The best birthday present ever!

I so love this =)

Sweet day to all!

Sad news

Hello all! It's been a while since I last updated my journal. Sorry guys, for the past few weeks I was not in the mood to write...I have a lot in mind that I wanted to share but I guess it's just plain laziness taking over me...Anyway....Most of you already know that Sweet's Dad passed away last December 6 that's another reason or major reason why I was not in the mood to write. Guys, I will not post the details here as to what happened and I think most you of you already knew about it...Anyway, let's just pray for him. He's with our creator now, he's in a better place...


~ Those who are dearest to us never really leave;
they live on in the way they cared, shared and made us happy.

Edward and Bella

Mood: Happy Happy Happy
Music: River flows in you - Yiruma

I just can't get enough of Edward and Bella, in just 5 days I have finished reading the first and second book. I'm already on my 3rd book well ummm...halfway already ;). Their love story is so so so addicting. And I am all giddy for the upcoming movie.


If you're not familiar with the story, here's the summary of the first book...

Bella Swan or Isabella Marie Swan moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie and to allow her mother, Renée, to travel with her new husband, Phil, a baseball player. After moving to Forks, Bella finds herself involuntarily drawn to a mysterious, handsome or should I say beautiful boy, Edward Cullen, who at first was trying to avoid her, but later found out that he is a vampire who drinks animal blood as opposed to human blood. They both fell in love. Everything seemed perfect for them until the Cullen's had an unexpected visitor of 3 vampires (James, Laurent and Victoria) who are drawn to drink Bella's blood. Bella escapes to Phoenix, Arizona because they thought it will be safer for here there. She was tricked into confronting James, the tracker vampire who wishes to kill her. Edward was able to follow her just in time to save her and take her home to Forks.

It's a modern day Romeo - Juliet love story which I'm sure most of you will love.

Hope you'll like the trailer.





Sweet day to all!

Do you remember the cookbook I was telling you about? I have it finally! Few days after our shopping spree, I've decided to buy the book after payday. I realized that, all the cheesecake recipe that are in the book are actually worth it and I would never find any other cheesecake cookbook that have all the yummy and unique cheesecake recipe. The cookbook has a lot to offer me, it has a lot of yummy treats in store for me. So there, after deciding on whether to buy or not to buy the book, I immediately sent an IM to Sweets and told him that I will buy the book and ummmm and....and.....if he can go get it for me before he reports to work that night ( because work on a graveyard shift). He asked me if he can just do it the next day since it was our day off the next day but, I insisted to buy it immediately. And because Sweets knew that I was so super duper excited about the book, that night, he left early just to go to the mall and buy me my precious cookbook!


This is my new favorite book - Junior's Cheesecake Cookbook. The book features their 50-To-Die-for recipes for New York Style Cheesecake. Junior's is a very popular restaurant in New York and their specialty? - Cheesecakes. They've been baking cheesecakes since the 1950s, over the years their bakers have perfected it all from the ingredients, techniques, and of course the recipes too. Most of the secrets and techniques are all in this book. Now, let me ask you. Do you think buying this book was all worth it?


I've never been to the US so I have never tried their popular New York Style cheesecake. And, you wouldn't know if the recipes in the book are really yummylicious unless you've tried it yourself. So, last November 1, I tried to bake one of their SkyScraper Cheesecakes recipe.

My new masterpiece! Lemon Custard Cheesecake Ü
-I actually made some changes with the recipe so that I could call it my Own Recipe! This is my own version of Junior's Lemon Coconut Cheesecake. It's just mouthwatering...yummy!

What made this a unique from all other cheesecakes is because it it is a cake within a cake! This is a two layered cake. The first layer is a traditional home made cake, then enhanced them with rich, thick, creamy layer of original New York style cheesecake. This type of cakes are two day affairs. The cheesecake is baked on the first day and frozen overnight, the put together with the cake layer the following day. It takes a lot of work, patience and love but hey, it's worth the wait!

Till next time, S-w-e-e-t Day to all!
