Valentine’s day plans

Do you have any Valentine’s Day plans in mind with your special someone yet? I’ve thought about it ever since January and I was/am planning to make the husband dinner at home but I seriously don’t know how I would feel like that day. I can’t stand for too long these days because of the extra weight. Sometimes I’m more tired and lazy. I know making dinner at home is more thoughtful but I don’t think I can do it this year. We’ll probably go out for a romantic candle light dinner and just enjoy the day. I’ll make him something special next year. But if I feel like it – I’ll add baking a cake for this year. What’s your plans? Share with me!

Chinese New Year Goodies

We don’t have one of these trays at home – I wanted to get one this year but I thought I’ll wait a bit till I find a Mickey Mouse one. This one is at my husband’s grandparents place. Cute huh? I couldn’t have any of those goodies because of my gestational diabetes – but that’s alright. I’ll wait till next year. I’m more into the fried stuff than the these sweets. What’s your favorite Chinese New Year goodies??

Baby Shower for Baby Boys

Baby shower is finally over! After months of preparation and planning – it was pretty successful! I love planning events like this with a theme. I’ve been looking forward to this date for so long. Thank goodness I can cross this out on my list of “to do’s” now and focus on other things ahead. It was so nice seeing everyone again – some I see a couple times a year – so it was nice catching up. I wasn’t too busy and thank goodness there were a photographer taking photos for us – or else I’ll be a bit busy capturing memories instead of chatting. It’s so convenient having a photographer in each special events. I think I’m getting too used to it now. Now that the baby shower is over – I can focus on the prenatal classes and the arrival of our little one! WOOHOO!

Valentine’s Ideas for Meals

Isn’t this heart shape pan cute? When I see these things in store – I just can’t help myself but get it. I don’t necessarily need it but I don’t mind having it. Do you call this crazy buying? I’m not even sure. But I did try this pan out – it’s not that bad. I thought I would just wake up and make Valentine’s day breakfast for my hubby – but I’m not too sure if I would wake up on time. *heheh* I’m still not a morning person till this date! But I’ll make him a heart shape egg one day – just not in the morning.

I’m planning to make his favorite lobster and steak dinner for this year’s Valentine’s day. The first year – I’ve made seafood dinner for him and the rest of the year – we just went out to eat. I mean -I love going out to eat but I hardly make dinner at home for him. So making dinner at home is a little more special on special days. I’ll see how that goes cooking in the kitchen with a big belly this year. What are you planning for Valentine’s day? I know there’s still a month to go – so still lots of time to plan!

Planning Hubby’s Birthday

If there is one thing to brag about – I got to brag about what a lucky girl I am to have such a wonderful husband! I’m blessed and I just can’t put it in words how wonderful he is!

Anyways – his birthday is coming up and I plan to celebrate his birthday early this year with just him & I. He enjoys seafood and steak – so I’m looking to bring him to a fine dining restaurant for his 29^th birthday this year. He’s 29! Can you believe it? I certainly can’t imagine myself being 29 yet – it’s still a good six years to go for me. But he’s accomplished a lot in these couple years and I can’t be a more proud wife! His achievements are earned by hard work! Oh by the way – this picture was taken on my birthday just a couple weeks ago – he took me to Rosewater – this fine dining restaurant at Downtown, Toronto. And look what he ordered!? His favorite – lobster with steak. Your probably thinking – why don’t I just make him a fancy dinner at home? But this man enjoys eating out! I don’t mind cooking but he enjoys being served. Less work for me eh?

Everyone’s graduating next year 2012

Yeppers – most of my friends are graduating next year from their university/college programs! I’m kind of excited – excited that they’ll find a job and start working towards their career. Most of them are looking for Project Manager Jobs – hopefully it’s not as competitive as other jobs. I know how bad the economy is these days. Even with a university degree – you are not guaranteed with a job! Let’s pray 2012 will be a better year for everyone and best of luck!

Kids Birthday Parties

This is a super belated post – from a month ago. Well a little less than a month I attended my god daughter Tiffany’s birthday. She is finally one! Time flies by way too quick and kids grow up too fast! I didn’t get a chance to hold her that night because she was crying the whole night because of the large amount of people. Now I can’t wait to have a one year old party for our little man. But hopefully he won’t cry the whole night though. I’m excited to plan parties like this.

Cute cake and cupcakes eh?? So adorable!

Officially done with Christmas Shopping!

Yes!! I am done with Christmas shopping for everyone else. The mall is already so crowded in November and I can’t imagine how worst it would get. I don’t like crowds and lineups – so every year – I try to do the shopping two months earlier. It was such a rushy day last Friday – not because it was Black Friday but it was because I had dinner with my in-laws for my birthday. But good thing I did everything on time. I even got time to get lithium batteries at the store for one of my facial machines. I’m a happy camper now.

My 23rd Celebrations

I basically celebrated my 23rd birthday the entire month of November. Thinking about it – I should of just done it once and get it over with. There’s a lot of planning involved with dinners and getting people together. Sometimes I wonder where I get all the energy to do so. But again – I’m the “planner” amongst all my friends. I plan mostly all the events. Halloween, Christmas or Reunions. I need someone to take over my job next year – because I’ll be super busy next year with the little one.

All in all – my celebration was a blast. Being twentry is kind of scaring me because in two years – I’ll be hitting the mid-twenties line. With another couple years – I’ll be hitting the 30s. I’ve heard that in the 30s – that’s really when women ages. *yikeees* I better stop be thinking about it and just live my early twenties now. But time is flying by so quick – each year – we’re a year older! Isn’t that freaky? Okay – okay I’ll stop now.

Christmas in 26 days!

Yeppers! Nearly a month! I’ve got all my events and gatherings organized this year – have you? This time of the year is just going to fly by so quick because everyones busy! Either out getting presents for others or having get together dinners! It’s been an awesome year and I’ve been counting my blessings! For wonderful friends, awesome families, and a wonderful husband. I can’t be greedy and ask for more right?

HO HO HO Merry Christmas! Merry early Christmas everyone!
