Saturday 9: St. Patrick’s Day
1. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17th (Thursday). Do you celebrate and wear green? Drink Green Beer? Ignore it? we don’t really celebrate in here in PH, but i used to when i was still working in a call centre
2. If a leprechaun told you that you could have any amount of money from his pot of gold but it had to be a specified amount for a specified item, how much would you ask for and what would it be for? Php 400,000 for a fellow pinay blogger’s surgery
3. One of the symbols of St. Patrick’s Day is the leprechaun. Name a celebrity that you think would look good as a leprechaun. Name a celebrity that would look ridiculous as a leprechaun. Is there any one celebrity that would make a really scary leprechaun? a good one, joe pesci; a ridiculous leprechaun – robby coltrane; a scary one – anthony hopkins (think the rite meets silence of the lambs!)
4. For a prize of $1,000,000,000 you are challenged to make yourself a costume for a St. Patricks Day party. The ONLY rules are that you aren’t allow to use clothing and it has to be green. Using anything other than clothing, describe your costume to us using ANYTHING else in the house. i’d probably cut off some banana leaves from the neighbor’s backyard, sew it to make a dress + come to the party as earth goddess!
5. What day of the week is your busiest? Tell us about your schedule. it had to be mid-week, cause that’s when i’d be compelled to finish all the chores i’ve put off the last few days!
6. No matter what’s going on in your life, what always makes you smile? my son smiling back at me.
7. Of all the clothes you own, what do you feel most comfortable wearing, and why? my boracay shirt + my black shorts, soft, well-worn fabric makes it comfy + the fit makes me free to move around.
8. On what television show—either past or present—would you like to make to make a guest appearance, and what role would you play? hiro’s resurrected mum in “heroes”
9. What else is on your mind? Go ahead and rant. i just wish that no more quakes visit japan any time soon + that may all the survivors of the tragic incident be rescued by the rescue teams..

friday fill-ins 2011.10
1. Oh gross! I thought it was just a tiny burn cause i brushed the burning pot with my arm while sterilizing my son’s feeding bottles, but no! it has to be huge, hope it won’t leave an ugly scar though!
2. Smoking is definitely a no, no, will not try it for the life of me, well THAT’s off my bucket list!
3. No, please, no more earthquakes for this year.
4. Motherhood is the core of my heart and soul.
5. And then sleep seems to call me from a distance imploring me to close my eyes .
6. I can’t forget the video of the earthquake + tsunami that hit japan earlier yesterday that i saw.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to turning in early with my baby love, tomorrow my plans include doing my week-old laundry (lame right?) and hopefully going out with jared and Sunday, I want to spend the day relaxing + lazying around!

pink friday:a pink book
for this week’s edition of pink fridays, i have sophie kinsella’s book confessions of a shopaholic (i had to get this image from the net since i have the other version where the spine is the only pink part of the cover!). i discovered this series when i was pregnant, my very-much-preggy friend back then, jannai (who later on became my kumare) introduced me to sophie kinsella + to her wonderful + most often hilarious world! she told me i am going to like it, but i really had my doubts since chiclit + girly literary stuffs are not really my kind of reading, but what do you know, it’s probably the hormones or the fact that i just want something very light to read back then, i was smitten by this brit novelist – hook, line + sinker! i’ve been a self-confessed kinsella addict + was on my way to reading the other installments of the series long before i was even aware of it!
to date i have read every book sophie has written on this series but i would really love to read the latest one again (i didn’t enjoy reading it much, having to read it in front of my desktop since i only got a digital copy!), Mini Shopaholic, and now that i think about it, i’ll be going e-bay hunting for a secondhand copy of that in the coming days so wish me luck!

| the very first toy car we bought for jared |
jared has recently discovered the bliss that is playing with his toy cars. after months of laying around in his room, finally, he was eying them with a lot of interest before picking them up to play with them. play consist of running the car down the sides of his crib, on the floor or in bed (much like what’s shown on the first photo), using the pillows as a ramp before the car skid to the floor + my son erupting to peals of giggles. he definitely enjoys his cars + the art of picking them after every fall. i’m glad we bought him this green playskool car a few days before his first birthday, maybe we can buy him some more^^
