My new found hobby..

Taking pictures! I've enjoyed doing this for quite some time now but never really had the chance to buy a good camera. Anyhow, now that I have a digital camera along with me, i'll try to show you how I see things my way.=)

Spam email from a so called Ma. Arlene Trillanes


As I was scanning some of my spammed emails (which I honestly seldom do), this certain email which included Arlene Trillanes's name immediately caught my attention.

Ms. Arlene Trillanes has been one of my online classmates at the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) when I was taking up one of their program, Master in Information Systems. She's been one of my group mate so I know how good and kind this person is. So to those who received a similar email, just ignore it and better trash it instead. By the way, in the email it was mentioned that Arlene was the sister of Senator Trillanes which is another flaw because in reality Arlene is the wife and NOT the sister of Senator Trillanes.

Below is the hoax email. Watch out and don't be deceived by this scam.

-----------
Dear One,

I am Ma. Arlene Trillanes, a native
of philippine nationality. I would
like tohave a long lasting and confidant
relationship with you if possible
entrustingmy life time fortune into your
possession.

As now I am broken hearted and needs someone
to trust,without remembering my past and forsaken
experiences from close confidants and family.
I need someone who would take me for whom
I am and as a life time partner.well, from your
profile I believe in me that you ought to
be a very honest person. I would like to give you
a brief description of my life.

I am the sister of senator Antonio Fuentes
Trillanes,who was arrested and since
detained by the government forces on the
29th day of November 2007. You may wish
to update yourself with more information of my family,
official pictures and news about my brother here:
(http://www.worldpress.org/Asia/3007.cfm).

But not quite long, I was also arrested along
with my brother,now I have been released and
I am under security watch by the present
government of Madam Gloria Arroyo.

All I want from you is to assist me make
claims of some funds, he did deposited with a
diplomatic vault in Asia,the Amount being
deposited is much about 20.2
million euros.

All I want from you is honesty and sincerity,
as soon as this money is claimed by you, I will
advise you on how to wire some me to me here in
Philippine to enable me pay off the chief justice
for his demand in getting my brother out of prison.
And then fly over to meet you. I wait your reply
for more details.
Sincerely yours,

Ma. Arlene Trillanes

Early Summer Fun for my sweet little girls=)

I love spending weekends with my two cute little angels=) And since last Saturday was a free day for our business, I used the opportunity to play with Missy and CJ!

Since I know how much our babies love the water so much, what better way to enjoy the day than to take a bath and swim! Note that we needed to heat water from our kettle twice to ensure that they're swimming in warm water.

Here's CJ showing her best smile on the camera. For me this means big thanks mommy=)


Big sister Missy who's maybe teaching CJ how to play ball in the water..?




How I wish we could do this everyday..




Wedding at Malolos Club Royale Resort, Malolos Bulacan

Wedding for me is one of the most special day in the lives of two couples in love. As such, we make sure that our setup also makes the wedded couple's day extra especial.

It's not our first time to go to Malolos but this was our first wedding event in this place. This also is our first out of town and first Diamond package event.

For this setup, our clients chose white fondue and milk chocolate fondue. Their non-fruit dippings included Chocolate Wafer Stick, Vanilla Wafer, Breadsticks, Marshmallows, Pretzels, Mini Donuts, Churros, Rosquillos (extra request), Flavored Mini-Barquillos in Chocolate;Strawberry; and Pandan flavors. Fruit dippings were Banana, Melon, Kiwi, and Strawberries.

Here are some shots we took that day












Again, to make occasion extra special, I asked some help from my brother and told him to send me fresh strawberries from Baguio. Delicious!



But the best part for me is having a close up encounter with the legendary Mr. Pepe Smith(who we just fortunately saw was leaving from his stay in the same resort)! My husband is really one of his biggest fan! And I must say that Mr. Pepe Smith is truly kind and down to earth to his big fan.hehehe =)

7th Birthday at Ysabel's Garden, Las Pinas City


We've never been to Las Pinas City. So to make sure we get to our client's venue on time, we had to leave our home a bit early. Good thing my business partner gave me a well drawn map that's why we were able to drive through the right roads and be at the venue earlier than expected.

For this event, I was not in direct contact with the birthday celebrant's parents. I only had to deal with my business partner who was really so easy and care free to talk to.

Their Silver Package included Graham, Vanilla Wafer, Marshmallows, Apple, and Banana. They also requested for themed sprinkles in Green and Orange to match the event's motif.



More pictures from our site=)



1st Birthday in Barneys Theme at Sky One Tower Binondo, Manila

I've never really been to Binondo before. I just pass by some parts of this place when we go to Divisoria. But I know this used to be the financial district of the country since most of the Filipino-Chinese businessmen started their business here.

I was also hoping to get a shot of some cool antique structures such as the old Binondo church also known as the Minor Basilica of St. Lorenzo Ruiz. I love these kinds of old structures especially those built during the Spaniard days. This church was built in 1596 so a lot of history and stories has passed. But our event ended a little late already since our client got the full package of barney entertainment which included the games for kids and adults, story telling with Kermit the Frog, the magic show, candie showers, pinata, and balloon burst! Everything was fun fun fun!

For their party, our client got the Silver Package in Barney colors (Purple, Green, and Yellow). Their dippings included Chocolate Wafer Sticks, Breadstick, Mallows, Apple, and Melon. They also got additional add-ons like Pink, Yellow, and Green combined sprinkles to match the theme (pink replaced the purple color since no purple sprinkle was available), crispies, and mini colored candy coated choco drops.










And some shots of their lovely balloon decorations=)







Happy Valentines!!!

Dropped by to greet everyone a happy valentines day=) Hope you have a celebration full of peace, happiness, and love..

Here's some chocolate treat i'm making for our valentines dinner tonight.=)


Will share some more pics tomorrow after the dinner. I am really so excited because it's me and my hubby's first time to really prepare and cook for a valentines celebration.

More pictures=)



My CJ now dances, sings, says A-B-C, and 1-2-3 with me=)

I just love the feeling every time we enter our home from a hectic day at work. =) Our girls truly sweeps away all our stress.

Now, it's not only Missy doing the talks but even CJ! CJ always dances to the tunes on the commercials, sings a-b-c and 1-2-3 with you, smiles a lot, and easily mimics what you're saying.=) All this new milestones CJ is able to do was also because of her new nanny who seems so fond to teaching her these songs and dances.








1st Birthday in Mickey Mouse Theme at Jollibee Philam-West Ave Branch

Jollibee is not an official partner of Mickey Mouse but our clients were able to have a Mickey Mouse themed 1st birthday party for their cute little baby boy=) We also celebrated our youngest baby's 1st birthday at Jollibee but I never new that this could be possible. How I wish I could turn back time so that I can also have a party with a different theme..

Here's our gold package in Mickey Mouse (Red, Blue, and Yellow) theme. Their selection of dippings were choco wafer sticks, vanilla waffer, marshmallows, pretzels, banana, and melon.







I just wished Jollibee had table cloth.. I wasn't really much satisfied with the table setup but am glad that our client, Ms. Shiela, thanked us and mentioned that their guests did enjoy the chocolate fountain.=)



WHTF*&^%$#*&^%!!

Sorry bout that title. I just got a little freaked out and shocked while I was browsing through one of our competitor's site. They copied a hell lot from us! Our packages and rates,terms and conditions, almost all my words were used!

I mean, if you're really interested in engaging into a business then create your own style. Don't just go browsing other sites to copy their ideas. Come on.. Think! Wala ba kayong originality?!?!


*JUST THINKING OUT LOUD*

Wedding at Casa Blanca, Intramuros




It was the first time we catered to a wedding event last Saturday, Jan 31,2009. And I personally want to thank Bianx for giving us this opportunity to showcase our platinum event for her cousin's wedding.

Everyone loved the setup. It was a platinum package in lilac theme. The bride initially requested for a purple fondue, but when I mentioned that I can do a lilac by mixing the white and purple chocolates, they agreed on the lilac colored fondues right away.

For this Platinum package, the bride chose Chocolate Wafer Stick (I got the purple colored one to match their theme), Vanilla Wafer, Bread Stick, Marshmallows for their regular dippings. Special dippings were Mini-donuts, and my Churros recipie which most guests enjoyed as well. Fruit dippings were Apple, Melon, Banana, and Seedless California Grapes.
