Christmas-y Cupcakes we Love

Ok fine, ako na ang di updated sa pampaskong post! :)

My Xian loves cupcakes and breads. If the husband is a rice person, then the little one is a bread person. 

Lemon Square products is a staple in my grocery list because of  their diverse baked goodies perfect for Xian's snack. The little man loves their snack cakes , cake pies and cereal snacks. Since I'm a working mom, I do the grocery every weekend and I just filled  the fridge with snacks for the little man to munch anytime of the day. One time during my previous trip to the supermarket, I discovered the limited edition holiday cupcakes of Lemon Square which becomes a hit to the little man (and for mommy, too!)

Moist chocolate cupcakes with scrumptious deck of christmas-y toppings with delicious cream filling. A box of 6 individually packed cupcake is P60, very affordable for the quality of this snack.


It really tastes like Christmas (weh,para namang nalasahan ko na ang Pasko eh no!)  because Christmas just taste good, doesn't it? :D

LCC Goes To Vegas

I haven't been to blogger for the past few days because I've been very busy with some school-related activities like our outreach program to our school's adopted barangay and of course,our Christmas party.

Vegas is the theme for our Party last Thursday night, December 15.

Actually the first time we read the memo about it, the first thing that came into our mind about the common Vegas costume is this:

yes,showgirl kung showgirl.

But after a few minutes of searching online for some pegs,we found out that the costume for a Vegas-Themed Party is actually endless,as they say.We just chose the simple one without compromising comfort.

My officemates came in their black dress while I opted to wear a black top paired with my skinny jeans then we just wear a cute mini hat with some peacock feather details which we found at the tiangge.We also wear long fancy necklace to match our black outfit and that's it,we're all set! We just used our creativity and a little ingenuity to come up with our Vegas outfit (well,sort of!)  

Meet us!

 with my friend Kai. matched kami ng fancy necklace kase sya ang nagprovide.hehe.

  Best Dressed @ the LCC Vegas-Themed Christmas Party

I would love to share pa sana some of the photos that night,unfortunately my friend who's in-charged on our kodakan moments haven't uploaded yet the pics. But all in all, it was still a fun night. I even won a major prize in the raffle. Yey!

More of that on my upcoming posts.Clue about the prize: hindi sya plantsa at lalong hindi plato.hihi!

Mommy Jo's Wish List

My first post for December.

Enough na muna for the emo post, I had too much of it last week and December is a merry month. I still have a lot of reasons to be happy,sabi nga ni hubby.Anyway,since it is officially the month of gift buying and gift giving, I was inspired by Sis Em's Christmas list so here's my own wish list (gaya-gaya mode lang for today) teehee!

1. Nikon D90 DSLR Camera

My sister is using this brand for her DSLR and I love the quality of the photos plus I also used her camera for a couple of times already that's why having the same brand (if ever) will not be difficult for me. Besides, I've been using my ever-reliable digicam for 3 years already which is one of hubby's gift and I think kelangan na ni digicam mag-retire,kawawa na eh.hehe.

2.  Baking Tools

Since I have sweet tooth, I want to learn how to bake and whip up yummy goodies for me and my loved ones.I'll ask sisses Anney and Krissy for some baking tips :)

3. A new sofa set

I want a sofa set like this, I love the cheerful vibes. Parang ako lang.chos!  But since we only have a limited space in our living room right now,this will take a while to accomplish.For now,papa-upholster ko na lang yung luma namin.hehe!

4. SM Gift Card

I love going to SM, it's one of my stress relievers. At dahil stress ako lately, a giftcard will be highly appreciated.hehe.


5. Tory Burch Metallic Straw Reva Ballet Flat

Ever since,I'm a big fan of flat shoes. You'll seldom see me in high heels.(Feeling katangkaran eh no?) They composed majority of my shoes. I would love to have a pair of this ballet flat, named after Tory's stylish mother.simply timeless and classic.

6. Chocolates. Lots and lots of them!

to make my sweet tooth happy this holiday season,stock good for 1 year sana.lol.


6. McQueen stuffs.

Not for me but for the little man syempre. Since his happiness is my happiness,any McQueen stuffs for him this Christmas, over sa happy na si bagets. The McQueen bed is so cute!

7. Rest and Relaxation

oh di ba,nothing can beat some good old R & R. I want lots of time to spend with my family,no work and all play.

7. Hubby Dear.

Yes,I want him underneath my Christmas tree, but according to Santa next year na lang daw! :)

There goes my  simple Christmas wish list.  


 

Saturday Snapshots

I'm not kikay but I love seeing my nails with nail polish. a nice mani and pedi is one of my pampering session. Besides, typing away on the keyboard feels more fun when there's a flash of color! I especially like beige and happy colors. Actually the first time I put nail polish several years ago (I'm a late bloomer) is to keep me from biting my nails and eventually I love the result,that's the start of my love affair with nail polish and that's the explanation of my short nails.lol.

By the way I already set up our Christmas tree with the help of my two boys last Saturday afternoon although I'm thinking of adding more decors since I just recycled our decors last year (well except form the rice lights which we bought at Handyman last week) feeling ko talaga may kulang pa din that's why I'm not posting it yet. so anong connect ng Pasko sa kuko?

Here!

I don't know the name of the nail polish, I forgot to check the bottle but I love the hint of shimmer in my nails.very christmas-y!

Here's my little helper after our mini accomplishment, obviously happy with the result.

I know the set-up looks familiar from here, the only difference is that the little man beside the christmas tree is older. like what I've told you before I'll make this as Xian's yearly tradition of having a photo beside our Christmas tree.hehe! 

 

Let's Talk About Christmas!

I was browsing my fb pics when I saw this:

 <2010> my little man sooo enamored with our Christmas tree :)

..which reminds me that I haven't put up yet our Christmas tree! I don't think it's way too early, I knew some people who put up their own as early as September. I think I put up our Christmas tree last year around second week of October and I'm sure Xian will be excited and happy to see another one this year,parang ganitong level of happiness lang oh!

the first night I put up our Christmas tree,that explains the barely there ornaments.teehee!

For our Christmas tree this year, I'm excited to put up and decorate it,I'll ask the little man to help me in the decorations while the husband is in charge of the lights. That would be a nice family bonding. Maybe (just maybe) we could hang some of Xian's mini toy cars and knick-knacks to make it more child-friendly.

or probably it is a bad idea coz he might pick all the toy from the tree.haha! 

I've been thinking of what's our motif for this year.Kaya lang sayang naman yung last year, probably I'll incorporate some of the decors and just recycle it. I love the feeling of arriving from work then as soon as I open the door, the festive and happy feeling of Christmas welcomes me. Nakakagaan ng feeling. It's just 82 Days before Christmas,this will be Xian's 4th Christmas (starting from my 2008 preggy days) and as he grow older, he's learning to understand what Christmas is all about and it's all about the happy thoughts! :)


How about you,when do you usually put up your Christmas tree?

Xian's Wishlist 2010

Dear Ninongs and Ninangs, Lolos and Lolas, Titos and Titas:

Mommy forced me to make a wishlist this Christmas (you know how she is!). We made eye contact and now she knows what I want to receive this holidays and hopefully she can relay it accurately to you. That's how close I am to my mom. We have extraordinary powers.But as usual, I think she will overdo it. Well, it's just a wishlist anyways and like what the saying goes, "Libre lang naman ang mangarap."

Please feel free to browse and pick but whatever gifts I'll receive, I will love them anyway because they came from you =)

Advance Merry Christmas!!

 Love,

Xian Allen
