Happy Birthday Love

 

Koffy barely three months old

... and today October 12 is his third birthday

Dear Koffy,

It's your birthday today. Do you know that? I think you know, because you kissed me differently this morning, almost hurt my cheek. We love you Koffy, more and more each day. You have no idea how much you trained and prepared mom and dad for serious parenting. And soon you're gonna be a big brother. I know you're gonna be good because we loved you first and will always be our first love. Okay this is getting long. Birthday greetings are supposed to be short, so okay, we'll go out a little later. We'll buy you a cake and a candle and fried chicken and beer (cos Diane said he's legal now) and we'll celebrate somewhere far where you can just run anywhere you want. 

love,

mom and dad

where is koffy?????

Bringing Down The Flats

my indestructible 5 year old flats from Happy Feet 

a couple of comfy sandals all from Primadonna seen worn here, here and here.

So I had a very busy weekend. Lots of errands and some home projects that kept my mind occupied even passed bedtime that surely turned my legs, hands and feet into a hard rock mass but with a jelly-like weakness. To top it all off, i hardly had any sleep. But our breakfast today was nice. Ginataang kalabasa at sitaw, menudo and paksiw na isda. They were all leftovers but I don't mind. Food can heal anything. 

Monday, Monday, Monday. What do you have in store for us?

Floral Mesh Studs

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement you left on my last post. The emails poured from the wonderful mommies and gorgeous ladies all over the net, and believe it or not, it gave me an instant lift from all the blues am experiencing a couple of days ago. I know pregnancy isn't always glam and pretty, but darn it, it is the BEST. Sometimes I tend to forget that this is (above all else) the greatest blessing any woman can ever receive. This is life, a once in a lifetime journey, to be able to conceive life for the first time which cannot be replicated again. This is our first child, our first love. 

But then again, sometimes i forget how lucky am I to be a healthy mommy. All my medical check ups are giving best results. No complications. My body is fit to carry a child. It is my mind that messes up with me sometimes. So yesterday with your help, I decided to suck it up, dress nicely, smile and put on a little eye liner that took me forever to "perfect". And to the rest of the afternoon I started feeling good again. Thanks to you, you're the wind beneath my tush.

Paradigm Shift

First of all, let me congratulate our friend Toxic Disco Boy and his business partner Inkarlcerating for their first clothing brand, the Paradigm Shift. I don't know how to describe clothes, it's not in my tongue, but when I see something new, beautiful and unique, it's not impossible to say something a little thing or two about it.

Launching Mindsteps, this monochrome severity of their first collection was a step away from the romance of  the season. Or maybe it was a different kind of romance. The architectural cuts and yet the simple stripping-everything-away-design and just letting the clothes speak for itself is brilliant. I like that the silhouette of each piece isn't shape conscious unlike other types of clothes. Will surely order something from them soon. And am just inspired to put together an outfit ala Paradigm Shift soon.
