my other half
2007-11-24 16:22:00 I was tagged by Mai. 1. His name: Ramil. We both have a short single name.

a hearty appetite

christmas away from home
2007-11-21 02:37:00 I grew up knowing how difficult it is to celebrate important dates away from your family.

When I got older, I’d buy my own greeting card for my dad. ... More About: Christmas , Home

2007-11-21 02:19:00 We’ve experienced being attacked before. Not by other people but by viruses and spywares.

mamu in the house

our little young boy
2007-11-20 16:09:00 These past few weeks, I’ve been so senti. I’d look at my baby and think that he’s not a baby anymore! He’s looking more and more like a little boy with each passing day.

my so-called diet

getting that perfect make-up
2007-11-20 01:00:00 I am not much of a make-up user. Basically because, I don’t feel like I look better with make-up on. Blame it on the fact that I don’t really know how to put make-up on myself. Usually, I’d just put on some face powder, a little blush, and a little gloss on my lips. Still, ... More About: Make Up , Make , Perfect , Make-up

yaya woes
2007-11-14 16:26:00 Mateo’s new yaya arrived last Friday. Her skills in housework are superb but how she handles Mateo is a bit lacking. She’s not bubbly like Cat, Mateo’s old yaya.
