Thank You, 2012! Hello 2013!

2012 is a great year for me. There were bumps along the way but it was still a great year!

Here's a rundown of my 2012 in random order:

January, I celebrated my first blog anniversary with a giveaway. And in just 2 weeks, my little blog will be 2 years old! Yay! Thank you for the love and support. Hoping for bigger things for the blog next year! This was  also the year that I attended my first ever blog event with Teleserv and a few more after that.

I was pregnant with our precious little boy. I gave birth June 11, 4 days earlier than our scheduled day. I thought I was having tummy ache when it was contractions na pala! Hihi.

Y got hospitalized for the first time because of febrile seizure. It was probably the scariest moment of my life! I thought she was going to die. Really. I'm glad she's fine and now giving me a headache with her being her, a toddler with the most terrible of terrible twos. :)

The BOS and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. Has it been 4 years? Feels like a lifetime. Hehe.. I love you!

I was also a lucky buntis. I was not a lucky buntis with Y's pregnancy. But this time I won a lot of blog giveaways and I won the biggest prize of all the giveaways I've joined, the Zalora Wishlist contest (you can read it here).

I've gained a lot of new friends thru social media. Some I've known since last year but this year they became my really good friends and colleagues.

And thru my new social media friends, I became a pioneer member of Mommy Mundo SoMoms! Yay! :) At this point, when all these happened, I really feel blessed for this year!

This year I also attended The Mompreneur Summit and It's A WAHMderful Life workshop! I've been planning and longing to be quit work and stay at home for so long and these workshops I've attended really helped me and inspired me to really take further steps in making my goal of becoming a stay at home and at the same time have a business on the side.

And just this December, after 6 months of waiting and meetings, we finally launched Paper Chic Studio! My new business venture, my stepping stone to becoming a WAHM (hopefully!), my baby! We had a product shoot, had a website made which is still under construction, Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram. I didn't think it would take so much time unlike before! I'm very happy with how things are working out, hoping to more success of Paper Chic Studio!

Thank you, 2012. You have been great! Looking forward and excited to 2013!

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

May 23, 2012
Supposed to post this on Mother's Day but our DSL broke down.. still posting it!


Two years into motherhood, my husband says I'm great (kisses to BOS!) but I think I'm still a work-in-progress! And in four weeks, I'll be giving birth again. Mommy times two! Can't wait! :)

To my mom, we may not see eye to eye all the time, I may not be big on words, and I know I've been a bad daughter in the past, but you have been there for me no matter what and never gave up on me. I love you, Mommy! Happy Mother's Day!


To my sisters, Happy Mother's Day to us! Can't believe we're all mommies now!
And of course, Happy Mother's Day to every mom, mom-to-be, grandma, and great grandma out there! :)


We'll be spending Mother's Day at our grandaunt's. Hope you'll have a great one too!

Setting Goals For This Year!

I don't really make New Year's resolutions, because I never do them. So instead, I'm setting goals for this year!

1. Cook more this year!

I'm no cook. I try the best that I can. This year, I want to learn and cook more recipes. Use my crock pot more and buy an oven! Most of the recipes I want to try needs baking, so hopefully this year, I get to do that.

2. Fix the kids' room.

I'll be giving birth to Baby#2 on June or July. As early as now, I want to make a plan on how to fix the kids' room, if we need to buy a bed for Y. The room is currently a play room for Y, it's not a big room but we have to add a few things here and there. We need to buy another closet or drawers for the new baby's clothes, an air con, put up some shades... and I really want to repaint the crib but I don't know if I have the time. and I want to buy a table and chair set for Y! Oh my, ang dami!

3. Get back into photography.

At least make time for my old hobby. Use my film camera again or at least some of my lomo cameras. They are just gathering dust at my parents' house. This weekend, for my shobe's wedding, I'm hoping to use some of my cameras. I also want to see Y in film!

4. Put up a small business.

The BOS and I have been discussing and scouting products that we can sell. Everything is still half-baked. Hopefully we'll be able to start something this year! Working-at-home is the dream!

Keeping it short! Making a long list would just make it unreal. Hope I can accomplish everything in this list!

Happy New Year!

2012, here we come!


Happy New Year to my dear readers, friends, family! 2011 wouldn't be the same without this blog and twitter!


I'm still lazy to blog but I promise to blog soon!
