Simone does'nt have so many toys, just enough for her to learn, discover new things, and keep her amused. We buy her a new toy one at a time so she can maximize playing with it until it gets worn out. haha. But her first comfort toy is more like a security blanket (err..pillow) and two small stuffed toys she can never leave home without. :)
This is Elmo. This was mine, i got it when i was in high school i think and I'm passing it on to her. hehe. She loves this Elmo so much. She adores Elmo and can speak Elmo more clearly than when she pronounces mommy or daddy. haha. Barney comes to a close second place to simone's heart. She used to love Barney so much too and can speak the word Barney effortlessly.
If you see the white small pillow tucked beside her, the one without any cover in it, that's her security pillow. She does'nt sleep without this. I mean, she can sleep but she'd wake up and will look for her pillow. haha, if you want her to have a good sleep, never, never leave the pillow by her side. :)Thanks for the tag! So Renzo, Yakee, Vito and Carlos, what are your favorite toys?
The weekend that was
Sunday was dress up day for King's birthday and I was so happy to meet Concon's family again. They are very friendly, even the guys. You'd expect some guys to just nod at you and pass by at you. Con's brothers are machika, warm and always smiling. Con's sister, Tin, was her usual smart and machika too. I just so love them. While I was decorating their house, I could'nt help but observe them cook and take over each of their own corner in the kitchen to prepare their assigned viand. A family who loves to cook! Their mom won't even have a hard time preparing for events such as this. Cool! Thanks con!
In the afternoon, we went to church and spent the rest of the day with the family.

Good start
But seriously, God is really good and even if it's a small venture, He blesses it and we're all happy. The husband is happy seeing me happy, i'm happy seeing my clients happy, and my clients are happy seeing many balloons. hahaha. loove it!
I'm thinking of coming up with a blog for it where i'd be sharing tips on how to properly inflate balloons, how to DIY balloon decorations, and the like. It's for moms who don't have the budget for balloons but would want to make a party festive by coming up with nice touches as decors.
I'm also organizing my files of different venues and their guidelines for party decorators so i'd be well-briefed and i'm coming up with my form for every client i have so that i'd easily take note their theme, motiff, balloon requests etc.
What do you think? Should i have a separate blog for party boosters? hmmm...on the other hand, i can use all of those in my multiply site. ahehe.

Prayer Tag

Thanks for the tag, Jannesse
Dear God, we pray for the quick recovery of all the sick and the dying especially those suffering from LUPUS and CANCER. And to those 700 plus lives who have lost during the Princess of the Star Voyage tragedy during the typhoon last week. I pray that their bodies will be found and if not they will rest in peace. My heart aches for them... Amen.
To those who will be all you have to do is keep this circulating. Even if it’s to only one person. In memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by a serious illness like Lupus or Cancer or is still living with it. A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle. Blogs who prayed: 1.) Eida’s Closet 2.) My Precious 3.) Just Me.. Eds 4.) Me and Mine 5.) In This Game of Life 6.) Because Life is Fun 7.) Mommy Talks 8.) Anorexic 9.) Me, Myself and I 10.) A Multiple's Choice 11.) Our Family Adventure! 12.) My Random Thoughts 13) Shopaholic Ties the Knot 14)The Wifey Diaries - Jannesse 15) That's the way the cookie crumbles
Please Keep This Candle Going!There will be a cure soon. Continue to have hope and continue to pray.
Am now passing this on to CWL sisters.

Quick blogger update
Anyway, i'm kinda busy with my newest baby and i'm enjoying the "busy-ness" of the business. haha. I never realized how much i love events, I mean, I know I just love organizing one, but I never thought that i'd venture into something like this. God is really good for giving me an opportunity to help other moms who are preparing for their kids' birthday, whether simple or grand. and it's very fulfilling to see the smiles on their faces and hearing the sweet thank yous. It makes my heart leap a beat faster. haha. parang kinikilig?!
And I love how the husband is very supportive of everything i do. He's always been there and he even told me that he loves seeing me enjoying what i do. haha. i'm so blessed with him.
thanks and more updates soon.

The one with pay2surf
I shared with one of my egroups about pay2surf and how easy you can earn with just clicking sites. and even if i've read from other forums that they really do pay, i still have to confirm it myself by receiving my first payout. Just the other day, i requested for a payout already since it reaced the minimum amount of $40. they responded immediately that i have to wait for a maximum fo five days so they can process the payment. It's been two days already and i have three more days to confirm its legitimacy. I hope they really do pay! i'll give you an update as soon the bread goes into the oven, *cashing!*
