So here are the cakes I baked for them. Next business will definitely include my cakes pero ngayon try muna sa mga kamag-anak pag naperfect na magdesign go go go!!!

this and the last pic is for simon. today is his birhtday!

Simon's was a rectangle cake cut to make 2 cars. Opo, cars yan ha :D
The book said you can put them together and make them stand. But you see the cake is a little thin na even if you put them together they wont stand. So there, I just made two side view cars. I need to practice flooding the cake, ayan sumobra flood nagoverflow tuloy hehe. Next time, it will be more fab promise :)

wishing on a Twinkling Star

"Winke Winke yitey tar aw ay der wat are"

I just heard Thea sang her first song. Yep, you read it right she sang a song. I'll say it again now read with joy

"THEA SANG A SONG!!!"

I am a very proud momma!

Side kwento muna, yesterday her teacher said they were putting the star shape on the board and they heard her say "twinkle twinkle, I got a lil jealous because I havent heard it yet. Then I remembered last Monday she was doing the shape board with her teacher in Manila I sang Twinkle Twinkle, she was sleepy na kasi and I want to catch her attention. I didnt know she'd recall the song and say it to teacher tuesday. Her yaya told me she sang it too this morning, I wasnt there because I delivered order for the chocolate lollipops, so me naman though I am proud of her syempre I want to hear it too. A while ago she sang it to mommy with action pa.

My heart is sooo sooo happy. I love you much Thea. Mommy is very proud of you.

Oh and by the way, she got Mommy's voice :D
And here's me wishing on every Twinkling Star to hear more songs from my little girl.
wish wish wish hope hope hope

valentines day goodies

Hey Hey Hey! Valentines na naman.

Didnt I say I'll launch my business this coming valentines? I tried baking several recipes. Bought heart shape pans, red chocolates, valentine cookie cutters the works men! Then suddenly we had a project to help our niece so the new valentine goodies include roses and rose chocolates.

I started making the rose chocolates early January. Googled/YouTubed the correct way of melting them, but I dont have a double broiler so set it in a very very low fire na lang. Then read some more about how to put filling, then searched for the right filling. The first try was too sweet for me but my tasters (aka pamangkins) liked it!

I was looking through the sched and the to-do list and saw the ginormous task I need to do. Hubby knew it too so he said I'd take the cupcakes off the goodies list.Oh my Oh my.

Oh well, I could use them some other time. Hopefully on the bridal showers of my two besties who are now engaged (deserves another post I know ).

So there, here are some pics of our chocolate popsies. So if you know anyone from Calumpit or even Apalit (hi Chie!) please endorse our goods ha.

God Has a Purpose

God has a purpose when He gave me a good voice.
He knew I'll have a baby who will be musically inclined and I'd have to sing to her all the time to make her happy.
He knew I'll mesmerize my 2nd year classmate with "Till My Heartaches End" song and I will marry him years later.

God has a purpose when He brought us to Brunei.
He knew our relationship is young and we need to be away from our comfort zone to rely on each other.
He knew I wont learn how to cook if I stayed in Manila and work during the day.

God has a purpose why Thea isnt madaldal yet.
He knew things I dont know yet but I know in my heart He does have a purpose. I have to be patient till He gives me the answers.
And though I havent grasp His plan fully yet I learned to enjoy the little things I could have neglected if Thea started talking much agad. You see I beam with pride when she says "Uh Oh", when she says "POP POP" for bubbles, "YEHEY" when she's extra happy, HAYFAY for HI-5, (yes she still watch TV in moderation naman).

Last week, Ate Lalah asked her "Thea ano gawa mo?" Thea said "Jump Thea." I was like "Did she really say that?" I asked her again but you know Thea doesnt like saying it again so she didnt.

Then we went to playroom and played the dollhouse. It has a doorbell and I kept on saying DingDong DingDong, you know with the dingdongish ring sound. She loved it and even looked at me when I say it so I just kept saying it, well mommies want to make their children happy dont they? Then she asked to go out of the room na and she said "DiDung" I could still recall the ring sound of her voice. Twas a happy happy moment. I dont know if you can relate but I am in cloud nine that day. I kept on talking to her till my voice cracked haha!

There was this time too that we were reading Fiddle I Fee, she likes loves this book (next to Clifford i mean). It was a book with animal sound and when she looked at me during the sheep sound I knew she likes me to repeat it so I did a hundred times (exag i know) but you get the picture, I just said Baaa Baaa Baaa till I heard her say BAAA and then she smiled. Would you believe I almost cried?

Everynight I pray to God to please give Thea a new word for the day and when He gives it my heart just overflows. I still pray that she'll learn new words everyday but more than that I am thankful for the joy she brings me every minute of each day. I am thankful that Thea is healthy. I am thankful that she soooo love mommy.

Mommy loves you loads and loads my dear Thea. God has a purpose why we need to go to teacher, why we need to stay here in Pinas while daddy works in Brunei, why mommy keeps on brushing and massaging you in the morning, why you have to bounce on your gym ball, why we have to do several activities per day. When you grow up I want you to know that you are a strong girl and that you are sooo kind. Me and your dad are proud of you.

My dear friends God has a purpose for everything.
Hope and have faith and love love love.
