A Hit.

I'm helping my sister scour for a new pair of eyewear and in my search I read Zenni Optical in the New York Times?! I've known about Zenni for a long time as their Prescription eyeglasses for only $8! are really a hit. In these economic hard times, they're surely the supplier to turn to and depend on. Seeing Straight Without Breaking Bank is their humble mission. By the way, they have a vast collection of stylish frames, go ahead and I'm sure you'll find a pair that will match your preferences and style.

Valentines Dinner.

Just four nights to go then it's the most awaited day of the lovers. Have you planned or thought so far where and how you and your better half will spend that special day? With all honesty, I haven't. Hubby and I haven't talked about it. I wonder if he's up to something again. I'm not yearning for anything fancy. After all, splurging is at the least of our priority these days especially with the little one's birthday party two and half weeks from now. Perhaps, just a simple dine out in a not so posh or elegant resto. Our fave fast food in Glorietta's Food Choices will do. I'm craving for a World Chicken meal so I'd totally be delighted if I'll be treated to a yummy roasted chicken feast. But if the husband has saved for a romantic dinner in an elegant resto like Spice China or those other Denver Restaurants in Colorado, then who am I to resist? I've just read a review on Spice China (located in Boulder) and they got a two thumbs up from the critic.

Bouganvillea.

The husband has been testing shots in manual mode and this is one of his best.

Bougainvillea ni Pondong.

Nope, this not one specie of those Japanese Magnolia trees. It's the bouganvillea plant that is common among countries with warm climate. My in-laws have them in the garden and it's such a pretty sight when they bloom. Asher is, in fact, also fascinated with these flowers when he sees them. He'd love to touch them but I stop him because he'd just rip the flowers mercilessly out of fascination. Nevertheless, as young as he is, he already has the eye for beauty.

The Giveways.

I have been yakking in my other blogs about the party preparations I'm doing for my son's birthday next month. Well, it's kinda exhausting doing all by myself the nitty gritty details but all the more that I'm excited to see how will everyone, especially Asher, enjoy the party. Almost all details have been ironed out including the souvenirs. It took me quite a long while thinking of a nice token. In fact I even checked out the catalog of a custom promotional product supplier to get an idea. But the featured products, although nice and unique, are quite costly. And so I settled with these home made chocolates I found over the web. The best thing about this is that the choco wrappers can be customized by none other than me. And so, here's how will it look like:

The chocolate is sweet but the whole of it is made sweeter because it is done with a labor of love.
