What's up Wednesday

Heller!! It's wednesday once again... Chilly wednesday. Still we're lucky that winter in Melbourne never reached negative degrees.. not unless you go to the foot of the mountains to see snow. Anyways.. here's what I'm up to.. Eating.. Toast bread with baked beans and mochaccino instant coffee. I ate quinoa and sirena tuna in oil with basil for lunch. Watched.. Third rate my way, is a new addition to three of my kdrama series that I've been watching weekly. Adding My love from the star Philippine version. So far, the remake is pretty good for my liking. I was expecting less, but they delivered it well.. but as they say.. nothing beats the original version. Thinking of.. What to cook for  Caiden's birthday, tomorrow. He'll turn 3 years old.. I'm also thinking of what to cook on the 16th.. we'll be celebrating Corbin and Caiden's birthday on the 16th with few friends we've met here down undah.. Planning.. Cath and I planned to

A year down under

It's been a year since we moved down under. We moved here 28th of May 2016. At that time, I've had this mixed emotion of sadness, happiness, worry and excitement. I was happy and  because we've been waiting for this, and it will be a great journey most specially for the kids. We are excited to explore the vast land it has to offer. Plus, coming from a tropical country, excited to feel the cold weather and the 4 seasons! I was sad to leave my friends behind and my colleagues, and my work. It was the first time I will be jobless and will focus on the kids and the family. I am so worried of what will happen with our future, thinking if this is really the right thing to do, what if we are just confused? Things like that keeps running through my mind. Thanks be to God for giving me peace of mind and assuring me that wherever we may go He will take care of us. I am holding on to His promise, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" and our family's verse Jer.

What's up Wednesday

I almost forgot to write my WUW.. whew! good thing I remembered.. I've been busy with my chores since I temporarily withdrew from my social media and series and drama watching.. so no time to procrastinate, which is  a good thing, I've accomplished lotsa tasks.. I am about to sleep so everything is in past tense.. ...ate Pancit (from last night) for brunch and banana bread from coles.. I don't usually eat lunch on weekdays.. I ate chicken fajita wrap that I made for dinnah! 😋 watching.. Not watching anything at the moment.. I've watch a few finals playoffs from NBA yesterday... DubNation here.. (we'll I was lakers before..) ..listening to.. Pastor Bong Saquing's old sermon, I think from 2 years ago..  If you wanna watch it click here He is one of the pastor of Christ Commission Fellowship in the Philippines. Since we went to AU we do not have a home church yet, if we didn't attend sunday service from Stairway church, we watch the live stree

Weekend's G

G, for ganap, or what have I been up to... Friday, busy day because it was what I thought, was my last minute shopping for Saturday night's party. But it turned out, it is hard to shop with 3 kids hanging on my skirt, not literally. My eldest son doesn't have school because it was their teacher's curriculum day. I don't really know what it meant, but more like doing some lesson plan I guess.. My second kid, well, let's just say I was too lazy to send him and pick him up for his kindy. My bad.. so there you go.. It was a total riot! Mainly because the unexpected tantrum of the most street smart among the three.. the yougest! He did some all out crying when we were in Target, without stopping! His crying voice is really loud! I was controlling myself not to get angry, well just because we are in a public place and I don't really want to shout and scream for him to stop. So I told them, let's just go home, while walking towards the parking lot, the eldest th

Dress to impress?

At last, I've made a decision to buy the most comfy and a bit formal clothes I can think of.  I have tried on different dresses, and different brands. Ang mahal pala ng dress dito kahit sale. And, those dress from H&M doesn't really fit my apple-shaped body. It was so hard for me. I have a slim arms and legs but my mid section is very full, top it up with a flat butt, ang sagwa lang.. Anyways, I bought two skirts, and it was an epic fail. I looked nice sa fitting room, pero when I tried it sa blouse na I was planning to wear, duh!! It emphasize my flat but and the humps on my upper hip, plus the love handles... what the!.. Now, I thought, I wanted something comfy, because I will be attending the party with my 3 boys, so I said, why not wear a formal shorts? My hubby doesn't like it at first, he thinks shorts can't be worn for formal occasions, I guess wala lang siyang idea. But I've seen a lot of those in the past. So I said I'd settle for shorts, it'

What's up Wednesday

 I'm back! I was planning to post a blog last Sunday because it's mother's day, but I procrastinated until I forgot about it. I've been busy lately, going back and fort to shopping centers because I need a dress or something to wear this Saturday for a semi-formal party which I am not used to.. I am a jeans and shirt plus sneakers kind of gal.. It's so stressful, specially if you have an apple bod like moi... Anyways, going back to topic... Food I ate/eating... I ate smoked salmon and black rice for dinner, ang some dumplings for brunch..  Honestly, I am not a fan of brown, red or whatever rice.. I just got curious with the black rice, which they say is much "healthier" and "fat-free", and I liked it! I thought only quinoa can substitute for my ever favorite white rice... but no.. Black rice tops it! But then again, it  pricey... so I guess I can alternate it with quinoa.. Yes, I am TRYING to be fit ( crossing my fingers) I realize it is 

What's up Wednesday

I've decided to make this what's up Wednesday on my blog. Just to be sure that at least once a week I have a blog entry. Crossing my fingers though. Food I ate/eating... I ate caramel chiffon cake and Mochaccino from Costco. That would be my brunch I guess.  I wanted to go on a diet.. and like most of you guys, I failed. I needed to control my cravings and discipline myself.. well, we'll see about that. Movies/Series I've watched/ watching... I am a kdrama fan, but recently, got hooked into this Pinoy rom-com drama. I just saw some tweets about it and I tried watching it recently, it started January, entitled "Meant to be". It is a feel good drama, reminds me of meteor garden, boys over flowers, cinderella and the 4 knights, but this one, all four men fall for her.. haba ng hair sobra...so now I'm hooked Feeling... I'm feeling sick, it is my first day or should I say day 1 and a half of my period and my migraine welcomes it with open arms

random facts about saintly

Here I go again, missing out with my blog entries.. well at least it didn't take years for me to realise that. I am not really that busy but I don't know, I just forgot about it... Anyways I wanted to try to write random facts about me, nakikigaya lang sa other bloggers... so here it goes.. 1.  I am a pessimist, a nega, negastar kind of person, I am TRYING my best to change that though, cause nothing good comes out of it, it just makes me feel emo, at all times, at galit sa mundo. 2. I am an only girl, I have wished to have a sister before, but I guess I am meant to be an Only Girl! I thank God at least he gave me 4 girl cousins, I grew up with them, they are like sisters to me. 3. My uncles used to take care of me when I was young, because my mom have those so called "rakets" or sidelines, thus growing up I became fond of listening to  "The Cure" and other 80s songs. and movies. 4. Edward Scissor hands is the first Johnny Depp movie I've watche
