1940′s wedding theme

Attended a fabulous 1940′s-inspired wedding theme last December 4 in Antonio’s Tagaytay.  The place is a perfect choice with the right combination of food and choice of music. I enjoyed dressing up for that event complete with my head dress, stockings and black gloves.  The couple were giving out cigars upon entry of guests. Wines were overflowing too. And canapes were being offered during cocktails. There was a special audio-visual presentation which was fitting to the theme. It was like a mob-like scene from The Godfather. It was truly entertaining. I enjoyed company of friends. Here’s what I was wearing that night…

Children’s Place Monster Sale

As I was looking for some nice headphones as christmas gifts for my nephews, I came across this great deal from Children’s Place.

I heart Children’s Place. I got a number of shirts for my kids from this brand when we were in the US. Their tees are cotton made so it’s very comfortable for the kids.  And this time of the year, they do have holiday clearance event so I would like to take advantage.  I’m even ordering for my nieces as well.  I’m sure they would love the nice striped layering tee like this…

New LV…

No, I am not getting a new Louis Vuitton as a christmas present. I was just browsing through their site which I haven’t done for so long now. In fact, I was just checking options for best term life insurance, lol! And the husband caught me browsing something else!  The only one that caught my fancy is this one…

The above is the Artsy GM. But I am still not too sold to it. With its price of $1630 in the site, I think I would rather get another Balenciaga or an Alexa! (wink!)

My list is not yet done…

I am still not done with my christmas shopping. I think I need to allot few more days to actually finish everything. I am loosing some ideas on what to give to teenage nephews. Any suggestions? I saw some nice jackets from Jimmy Jazz. I wonder if my nephews would actually like those coogi clothing but they are just so cute. In fact, they offer great discounts and even guarantees that items would be shipped before christmas. I particularly love their men’s outwears. Saw something that my husband would even like.

Moments with Kids…

Just have to savour those quality time with my kids. Those are just priceless. Time really flies so fast. I really make sure to make the most of it especially on every moment that I could get to be with them on my travels.

The picture above was taken just about when we arrived in Shangri-la Mactan in Cebu. It was an early flight from Manila but the kids were both up and excited. I was feeling a little sad here since the husband cannot join us last minute with the trip. But totally surprised when he showed up on our second night. Yes, he missed us that much, lol! We have other travels lined-up for next year and of course I am excited for all of it. Traveling with the family especially with my kids makes my heart pounder. Though I really need to learn more on some top rated fat burner as the next trip we will be up to will be in Shangri-la Boracay! Excited much!

Shangrila Mactan

The above was the view from our room the last time we stayed in Shangrila Mactan. My kids love the place to bits. I remember one of my daughters saying “It’s amazing, I cannot believe this place, it has everything!” And yes indeed, it practically has everything. A beach, pools, spa, time zone arcade, play area for kids, lots of restaurants to choose from. We would definitely go back to the place. And I hope the fat burner I am taking would work already so I would look better with my swimsuit. Notice that I won’t post any of my pictures on swimsuit as I do not want a scandal here, lol!
