A Crazy Day with Dayne

I basically grew up in the kitchen but I'm not good at baking. I remember when I was younger my mother used to make cakes for weddings and birthdays once or twice a week and she would ask me and my sister Richelle to make edible decorations or mini sugar flower bouquets. Sometimes I would refuse to help her because I felt I am being deprived of playing.
But honestly, those were the times I miss truly.

During my sleeping day I decided to take Dayne at the DIY House of Mini.

She really enjoyed decorating those mini cupcakes.

Quite good attempt Baby!

Cupcakes inspired by Dayne.

 

So cute and tiny.

Cupcakes are amazing!

Make one for your Mom. Knowing that it came from your heart and hands is more than enough for her.

A Hearty Enjoyment

When I got home I felt a sudden relish for pleasure... pleasure of playing with my daughter Dayne.

Playing with her is priceless. She got tons of them. I've got only one, HER!

Pretty as a picture
Sweeter than a swisher
Mad cause I'm cuter than the girl that's witcha
I can talk about it cause I know that I'm pretty
-Keri Hison-

Caring for Barbie dolls is fairly simple. Add a few drops of mild dish detergent to a small amount of lukewarm water. Test a place on the doll’s body that isn’t visible when she is fully clothed. Use caution on the face so that the facial paint is not damaged. Dip a cotton swab in the liquid and gently clean the doll. -Free Articles Directory-

All eyes on me when I walk in,
No question that this girl's a 10
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful
My walk, my talk the way I dress
It's not my fault so please don't trip
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful -Keri Hilson-

If you're looking for me you can catch me (pass by)
Cameras flashing
Girls think I'm conceited cause I know I'm attractive
Get yourself together don't hate (never do it),
jealousy is the ugliest trait (don't ever do it)
I can talk about it cause I know that I'm pretty -Keri Hilson-

Dayne has been collecting Barbie since she was a toddler.

She couldn't get enough of them!

Her latest!

After playing, she made mango shake for merienda. ( Mangoes taken from our backyard. )

After that, tonsillitis took over. 

Goodnight Everyone!

I Love Her from Head to Toe Tip

 Archie's favorite song!

Isn't She Lovely
-Stevie Wonder-

Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful?
Isn't she precious? Less than one minute old
I never thought through love
We'd me making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty? Truly the Angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy, we have been been Heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us He's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love?


Lovely, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very love, made from love

My lovely little lady.

Littlest Things make the Biggest

Photo credit: Google images

When boredom attacks, I do simple things to alleviate it - things likely to make me happy. Unnecessary conversations or 'tsismisan' is definitely not one of them. (Minsan lang!)

Aside from searching good blogs, I also enjoy writing. I like to write about the littlest things or any special portion of events and the blessings and teachings they contain.

I've always had the yearning to draw and sketch even if sometimes I cannot get the exact result that I want. I love to sketch frocks or any formal attire. When I was young I also aspired of becoming a fashion illustrator but Nursing was more of a priority to me.
I remember doing paper dolls for my friends and their thank you gestures were my sweetest reward.

I can draw depending on my mood.

A desperate photographer - Yes! I love taking pictures. I'm not an expert but I always find pleasure in doing it. I have shot a few of my impressive macros and I'm keen to learning and trying. I love to take pictures of flowers and sceneries too but oftentimes I can't get a sharp, decent composition just like other photographers do. A proper tutorial from the likes of Lito Sy or Nelwin Uy will surely create a professional quality.
......and speaking of flowers, Roses for valentines day would be nice. If Archie is unable to remember this day, I'll give him a chance to redeem himself 'till the 18th! But seriously,  being a devoted and loving husband is more than enough than having a cozy dinner at a romantic restaurant or showering our bed with Rose petals!

I love this picture! The lighting is a little dramatic.

Reading can be such a solitary experience yet it gives me different kind of excitement. One of my favorite books - The Shack by William P. Young. This was given to me by a patient who is a priest in Spain. It's a Christian novel. It made me realised the lack of faith that I have. Well, it depends upon on how you draw your own percention of faith. It is very inspirational and has a beyond interesting contents. Reading it can be too engaging but it can also be dangerous - Catholic Media Review.

Another book that I can suggest is from one of our local writers Jon Escoto. There was a point in time when I wanted to leave my profession because it has been so routinely and that I found no more excitement to hug but his book made me see beyond the soul of work.
It also suggested wise and concrete ideas to make your job worth keeping and enjoying. You can easily find it in our local religious bookshops or you rather borrow mine.

40 Days of meeting God in your Office Cubicle...:)
You spend more than 60 percent of your waking hours at work. So if you're miserable in the office, you are therefore miserable more than half time you're awake! Imagine what your life woud be if you could turn those long working hours of sheer drudgery into Extraordinay Joy - something you only dream about while you sleep.

DIY party favors - I love doing party favors for free! I mean, you buy and I can do it for you free of charge ( for as long as I'm not busy ). There are plenty of DIY party favor ideas available in the internet, you just have to browse them with patience.
They doesn't have to be very expensive but they should be creative and lovely as they serve as the memento of the event.

Meet my lovable assistant!

Crafting = Mother and daughter bonding.
Being with Dayne makes me feel young yet it also makes me look old. Playing with her makes me feel like a kid again but after the 'kalat' you will hear her famous line "mi you can fix them better than I do."....oh gosh, poor Nanay! Lucky, Tatay is always there to rescue...Nonetheless, spending time with her is priceless.

You can't disturb her. She's busy!

She and her subtle mind!

Trying to create another Tinkerbell!

Love gives meaning to our lives – as do friendship, or art or faith in God. These are factors of true happiness, of inner peace, of feelings of harmony, allowing meaning to our existence.

God Sent

Martina Mcbride - In my Daughter's Eyes In my daughter's eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise and I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I wanna be In my daughter's eyes In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes And when she wraps her hand around my finger Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light It's in my daughter's eyes In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be Though she'll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes Credit: Smilebox
