Another surprise by my husband is my new pasta machine. He knows that I've been wanting to have one for a long time and since it is a bit too costly I opt myself from getting one.

Well he found one that is way too fit for our budget and just right for my basic skills. So without long intro, here is my first try with my new kitchen gadget.

It was such a nice experience to attend a Filipino festival in a foreign hotel here in UAE. It promotes, of course, Filipino food, culture and places in our country.

Since I've won Dhs100 worth of food voucher for the event, plus the entrace was free, we didn't spend any penny for this event :)

It was unfortunate that we didn't able to finish the whole event. Well, here are some snap shots of food and the place :)

A week before my birthday and already found a surprise gift on my bed when I got home from office. I came in our room while my husband is doing the laundry and cooking lunch for us in the kitchen. At first, I didn't notice the big box on our bed since it was covered with our comforter until i was about to lay on our bed. To my surprise, I was not able to say a thing and just burst into tears.

We've been through a lot of rough times these days and I just didn't expect that he'll do such an effort to surprise me. Any way, his gift for me is a stand mixer. I just broke my old mixer and i couldn't bake these past days. He knows how much I love to have a new one and he sure knows how to make me happy.

It seems that I have neglected my blog for quite a long time...
I've very busy with work, of course, and with my online schooling for the past few months...
Yes, I have a very good excuse and it was worth it!




Also, another lazy excuse was that I've got my new Ipad and I was busy playing and instagraming =)



Plus Christmas has just finished and it also made me busy cooking :) Then.... new year! he he he

Chicken Soup has been my all time favorite book. Aside from the fact that it is inspirational and kinda' refreshes my mind, what I love about it the most is it's easy to read short stories. Yeah, I know I'm lazy =)

I have read several Chicken Soup books when I was in college. Since then, I consider it as my comfort book. I've owned one which was given by a friend but I've left it in the Philippines. It was quite difficult for me to search for it here in UAE, so when there was a book-sale in the mall, I've got a chance to find a good one and bought it in a very affordable price!

Well, my husband actually bought it for me =)

it is officially summer here in UAE... =( summer here means extreme heat!

Well, to cool down a little, my husband bought me this :)


nom nom nom :)

I love my husband sooooo much! Thanks to his weekend gift that he personally did for me! He fixed my old make-up table into new and much better version! With bulbs on the sides. Just like a movie star vanity table =D
