Welcome a New member of the family
My sister's birthday is near and I thought I should give her an early birthday present. I made her choose between a mango shirt or a tomagotchi. She chose the latter. She has been begging to buy her one...finally I bought her one. Besides the tomagotchi I got her the CD of duster (which I am currently listening to

weird day
I had the weirdest day ever. Earlier today I attended my cousin's wedding. I bought my sister early birthday gift. We visited my sick aunt. When we got back home, we learned my pet dog Squeegee died. Then around quarter to eleven my sister got a text message that my Aunt just died.
While my Officemates Where Away...
While my officemates went to Shanghai for a vacation I was also busy. Not really for the Kadayawan but I attended a wedding and a baptism. I had two days off plus Friday was also a holiday. Wednesday I was panic buying for a dress and a gift.
Earlier my Mom was invited to attend the wedding of her close friend Myrna Ong. We used to live near the Ong's in Damosa. My Moom said that I used to play with Ong children. I couldn't really remember because I was maybe 3-4 at that time. The Ong children were older than me. I got lost touch with them because we moved around a lot but my Mom never lost touch with Tita Myrna. Last time my Mom was also invited at Pearly's wedding. I was not around that time because I was in Manila. Mom was invited again to attend Lovely's wedding. Pearly is the second daughter and Lovely is the eldest. With lots of free time I decided to accompany my Mom to event. In the invitation it said the dress code was formal. I had to buy something because all my formal clothes are black. It is in tradition that you should wear black to the wedding. Wednesday I went shopping with my Mom.
I had a hard time finding something to wear. I am obviously not in my sexy state and so finding a dress is hard. Finding decent clothes here in Davao is also a challenge. After mall hopping I finally found a dress. Somehow luck was on my side, the dress was in a sale. I already had a pair of shoes at home so that was not a problem. I also manage to buy a gift for my future God daughter.
Saturday came. I wanted to have my hair done in a saloon because my hair is a mess but I woke up late so I had my sister blow dry my hair. I was not spectacular but at least it was its usual messy state.
The parade of food seems endless. There was a point where I wanted to eat more but I was already at a tipping point. I also fell in love with the dessert table. It was endless treats from Lachi's. It's my sister's and my favorite maker of cakes and sweets. I wanted to try everything but only manage to try four types.
I was happy that I did accompany my Mom to the said event. I got to see a very very beautiful wedding. Lovely and Roger is also a very happy couple. All through out the wedding they both keep of laughing and giggling. I didn't get to take a decent picture of the couple...bad digi cam.

They even had the M&M's with their faces on it. My Mom doesn't want to eat her share.

Sunday I was late for the Baptism. It was a double baptism of my nephew and niece. I am the God mother of Angel the younger one. After the baptism at church we went to my Cousin's house. It was actually a triple celebration. I was my cousin's birthday also.
Here I am with my God daughter Angel.
Next Saturday I am going attend again another wedding. It's going to be my cousin's wedding. I wouldn't be fancy but a simple affair.

Here is my gorgeous self....cough,cough well not really...
When I got to the Church I found the place was decorated nicely. Chandeliers where used to light the pathway toward the altar. Lots of white flowers. I really love the color of the dresses of the entourage. They wore teal! I thought the motif was dark blue because of the invitation but I like colors they used. From the principal sponsors to the cute little flowers girls everything was custom made. I was too shy to take pictures since I don't know them. I was also wearing 3 inch heels so taking pictures would take some effort.
I really wanted to take a picture of the beautiful Lovely but unfortunately my shots were blurry because of the low light. I didn't want to use flash...which was a mistake.
The wedding dinner was at 6 0'clocl but guests where served with cocktails. There were lots of chocolate, biscuits, nuts, candies and what not. There was also an open bar. I REALLY wanted to go there but I was with my Mom and my Mom does not know I drink. There was also a chocolate fountain. There was a large fresh fish for sushi. I didn't really much because I was preparing myself for dinner...even though the chocolate fountain was tempting.
When we finally got to Marco Polo's grand ball room, I was awestruck by the decorations. More beatiful large colored chandeliers, fresh white flowers and ambient lighting. The grand ball room didn't look the same..last time I was here when I took my IELTS exam. The room was really transformed. I wish I had a better camera with me. The dinner, the program...everything was superb. I really loved the dress Lovely wore for the reception. The designers went there and I could see that they were very proud of their creation. It was a very glamorous wedding. I have attended a number of weddings in my life and this was on top of my list.

When I got home I rummage through the give-away I got. I find the contents very sweet...literally sweet. A mug, a packet of cocoa, a packet of cappuccino, mints, kisses, and M&M's. Everything is personalized.
They even had the M&M's with their faces on it. My Mom doesn't want to eat her share.

Since my 50 book challenge I have been filling up my shelves with books again. Right now I am finishing the Harry Potter series. I have books 1-4 but didn't bought the last three books. I get read the last three books through my friends.
Downsizing
My family has a knack of collecting things. From clothes, shoes, toys, magazines, decorations and what not. After awhile these things tends to pile up. My closets are filled with clothes that I wore eons ago. Only a small percent that I really wear. Then there is a closet filled with bags and shoes. I am not bragging because even though I have a closet filled with whatever but most of the bulk are almost junk for me.
It's recession and every one is in a tight budget my sister needs to raise funds so she feels that we need to downsize our things. As they say one man's garbage is another man's treasure. Last week my sister and her friend rented a stall at Matina Town square. For 6 days I got to go to MTS after work.

These are some of the stuff that we sold

Usually in our breaks we have a bowl of cereal and cheesy nachos at Keepsakes.
It was a new experience for me and my sister because we are not really entrepreneurial people. My sister did get to meet new people and got to practice her rusting people skills. Overall the experience was fun. My sister did not sell everything but a lot of stuff were sold. The last day was the most tiring and also the most interesting. I got to see Sandwich perform live and free. But I am also glad that it is over because it was tiring me out going to MTS after work and staying there till 12. My sister will probably continue disposing old stuff but she will be doing it at home. Hope you could drop by sometime.
The Inner Pixie
Halloween is around the corner. Even though a horror lover kind of gal but when I am thinking of dressing up for Halloween I would wear something bright and whimsical. Yeah I know its ironic because people who know me would think that I would don on a gothic outfit. Instead I would definitely pick most pink fairy princess dream costume I could find. Looking around the net I have seen my favorite fashion bloggers wear rainbow inducing outfits that makes me want to put fairy wings myself.
With my inner little girl went to look up at cute costumes at princesstimestoys . Found lots of cute stuff. I got my eye on their latest Halloween line called the Simply Spooky. Little girls could pretend and have their own little adventures.
The sun is up and the flowers are blooming you could be a cheerful bumble bee in the garden. 
You want adventure and explore the seas as a pirate.
Magic is in the air and you smell something is brewing. You could be the neighborly witch.
Tap your ruby slippers as Dorothy did. 
Think happy thoughts and fairy dust. Fluttering like sweet quirky Tinkerbell.
You could be a shy laybug out in the garden for an afternoon stroll.
Be a little mermaid singer her heart out on the shore.
Well you could be like me be a fairy...
Besides these dresses for Halloween they have a Disney Princess line...like you just got of from Disneyland. Their costumes have good quality and easy take care since its washable. You could be a fairy not just for Halloween (I'm talking to little girls here).
At princesstimestoys they off not only costumes for little girls (and boys too!) from ages 1 to 9 but they also offer stuff for women with inner pixies in them... They also have offer other products like accessories, bedroom decor, toys, and even stuff for pets!
You can check out their blog or be updated with their twitter account.
Just wish I could fairy wings to work tomorrow....
