Techie Valentine


I have been celebrating Valentine's Day with the man i love for almost 15 years.
He will be forever my Valentine.




Some give flowers and chocolates for Valentine.
Yesterday, my husband gave both, with matching digital frame and external hard disc (for my infinite photos, hahaha)

I love this hi-tech world! =)

Love You Babes!

From London, with Love

Dorothy is a registered nurse back in the Philippines and found her way to London, England. My hub's cousin, Philip is a registered nurse too in the Philippines and found his way here in Milan, Italy. Love knows no boundaries! Maybe a lot of long distance love affair don't last that long, but somehow, Dorothy & Philip makes that love more exciting than ever, even far away from each other. They are now engaged and will get married by January 2012.


This is Dorothy's first visit in Italy. I wished i was there with them to stroll around Milan. My little daughter's sick, so i need to stay home. My hub made it up for us.


But, of course, Dorothy want to see Zendra and me, so they went straight to our home and brought personally the gifts from london. Wow! i got 1 pack of Marks & Spencer underwears and a scarf! Love them! Thanks Dorothy.







My hub got a Nike tshirt and my son got a Nike windbreaker, and of course, my little princess had a british style dress, completed with a nice hat. Even a bit sick, Zendra was excited to fit/wear the dress and smile a bit for the camera.




I am glad, these two lovers met finally after 6 or 7 years of not really seeing each other in flesh. I won't be on their wedding next year, so i wish them all the success and happiness in the world.

From Verona, with Love


I was so surprised receiving this envelope full of pretty stuffs!
Thanks Valentina!


personalized necklaces...wow!


i adore these earringssssssssssss!!! love love love!



Valentina and i have been friends for less than a year now. We met at facebook and i was trying to help her edit her Blogger page those times. She's new to Blogger so she didn't know how that time. Now, she got a beautiful Blogger page. From then on, we have been good friends, and fortunately we met last June, 2011 here in Milan. She photographed Zendra and all the fotos were awesome. we're looking forward to meeting again next year. I'm excited!

Romeo & Juliet


It was a very interesting Sunday (June 26) for me and my daughter Zendra. It was Zendra's fotoshoot!
It was the first time i met in person the fotographer Valentina Mantovani from Verona. It's her first time in Milan. We met only at Facebook first, then at Blogger. I love her fotos. She's a good fotographer even still very young.
I was honored and proud that she chose my daughter as her model for her fotos.
This cute gift was from Valentina, from her town Verona, of the famous Romeo and Juliet love story. Someday, i'm gonnna visit Verona to see for myself that famous "balcony" where the lovers promised their endless love. =)

rainy monday


another monday again. the wheather forecast was right, it will rain today. we got sunshine yesterday...the wheather's continue changing here each day. 2 more weeks and it will be spring. i hope by march the rain will diminish.

my son is still sleeping, so i called him up..."svegliati jaki" (wake up), "you'll be late for school". zendra is still sleeping. it's 7am. hub went to the kitchen and fried some hotdogs for breakfast. he went off to work at about 8am.

jaki and i got out of the house at 8:17am and left Zendra to my brother-in-law in the house.
the bell is already ringing when we arrived at jaki's school. so he kissed me up quickly.

back to the house, there are two peruvian guys who are installing a surveillance camera. it's about time they put a cam. the buildings' basement were robbed last year and we lost some of our things down there. few days ago, i saw bottle garbages near the gate. what the...? what was that person thinking? the bin for bottles is just 10-step walk out of the building. why would he/she left it in front of our gate? but, no cams yet. we can't point the suspect.

i peeked at our mail box and there's a letter for me, from ASL (health department). info's of vaccinations and stuffs. seeing the porter, i asked her if i can post the "avviso" (notice) for all the "condomini" (all the people living in the building). we have an appointment on wednesday for hydraulics, so the main switch for water supply will be closed from 9:00-11:00. we got leaks in the bathroom for quite sometime. i showed the porter my note and she said, make it bigger. so i went up, re-print the notice, in bolder and bigger fonts.

it says: Avviso Importante
Chiusura dell'acqua per lavoro, 24 febbraio, mercoledi, 9:00-11:00
Scusate per il disagio, grazie

(translation: important notice: closing of water for a job, 24 february, wednesday, excuse us for some inconveniences, thanks)

my daughter is still sleeping. i remember the bags and packs i still need to put in order. i was busy last saturday for carnevale and, sunday for making/editing invitation for baptismal and birthday parties. of course i'll be paid..small business. it's global crisis, no more "thank you's" hahaha. i'm talking of 100 copies, so i'm crazy if i don't ask for a cash, right?


so we got a surprise package from New Jersey, USA (my hub's cousin). these are for my daughter zendra.



last saturday, hub went to decathlon (sport store) and bought us surprises, yey! i got a black nike sweat shirt, adidas for jaki and a pink shoes for zendra. hub got his new spring jacket (again). i would say he got thrice the number of jackets compared to mine.




yesterday my friend arrived from the philippines and i got some packs from my sister-in-law, Bheng. she sent shoes for zendra and some vitamins for me. there are 6 bottles, but i gave my brother 2 and my mom, 2. of course, dvd films! yey! got 17 english films! i might have a movie marathon this weekend.

i seldom go to the theaters here because they all dubbed the new english films to italian. although, honestly i can understand more of italian now than slang english, i still prefer the original film language. i just need to put subtitles, 'coz im having a difficulty now with vocal english comprehension. it's not easy when all you're hearing here is italian. you tend not to practice speaking english. thru writing it's much easier. speaking is another story.


kiara don't want to remove the pink shoes anymore...





it's almost 2pm and i gave zendra some of her snacks: banana yogurt for kids, albicocca juice and a bread. she's really a "mangione" (great eater). she never rejects any food.




after eating she tried her acrobatics skill...standing up on her toy bag carrying her balloon. i guess she'll be in circus one day, hahaha.

still raining...

i can't open up some Fb applications. argh!
anyway, i'm busier these days at blogger site.

gotta think about my lunch. i'm starving.
