Almost 61!

My mom will be celebrating her 61st birthday next month and my father this month. That soon? It was only last year when they turned 60. Time does fly so fast. I know I am gonna miss their birthday again this year but I know they understand. I just have to make sure that we give them a call in time for their birthdays.

I am hoping to give her something special this year. I am thinking of a birthstone ring or a bracelet or her favorite fragrance. For moms, the possibilities are endless I am actually confused. Maybe I can find some great birthday gift ideas for moms over at makemymothersring.com and where I can get them. I just have to check it out!

As for my Dad, maybe we can buy him some Birkenstock footwear or a Swiss watch. We'll just see what we can come up with.

Last year, we got them a digital camera and then my sisters and I chipped in to give them a vacation in Bohol as they have never been there yet. They turned sixty last year after all.

When giving gifts to parents, it is not the monetary value of the gift that counts but the thought and sincerity that comes with it. I know that I will be content receiving a birthday card from my little girl which she made herself. So that I know that whatever we give for my parents on their birthday, they will be happy about it.

Singing Lullabies

If you are a mom, you must at one point in your life sang songs to your babies and children, especially when you try to lull them to sleep or soothe whatever pain they are feeling. Whether you have a golden voice or not, it doesn't matter... your voice is still that one thing that will soothe them and put them at ease.

My little girl is growing up so fast. I can still remember the nights when I would sing her to sleep. Even her daddy would sing her the lullaby that I have put together from different lullabies. Now that she is "big" as she claims it, I still hum to her especially if I want her to take her afternoon nap. She does love to sing and dance too. I guess the time will come when she will be the one singing to me. I am looking forward for that day to come.

It has been a while since I posted a photo of my little girl. So here it is:



Big isn't she? And pretty too!

A Museum Of Me

I have always loved Intel! We all know that if a computer has an Intel inside, you are sure that it is fast and reliable. And it has never failed to meet and even exceed my expectations. But hey, there is something new that is even more interesting to all Intel and Facebook fans out there!

Ever heard of the Museum of Me? Take a look at the video below to find out more about it! And be sure to like the Facebook Intel page after you're done watching.

TCP#100: Finding Neverland

Hello Couchers! Finally, we are on the 100th edition of Tuesday Couch Potatoes! I hope that it was fun for you all as it was fun for me. Since we are on the 100th post, our theme for this week will be: Famous! If you know of a good film about a famous person, then come share it with us this Tuesday.

My pick for this week: Finding Neverland. It is an interesting film as it is about how James Barrie came to create Peter Pan and Neverland, inspired by his neighbors, the Davies brothers, who lost their father. Set in pre-WWII London in the year 1940, it showed the struggles of James Barrie to bring Peter Pan to the stage for the very first time. The musical turned out to be a success in the end. In the film, James Barrie also found himself becoming a surrogate father to the orphaned Davies brothers.

With a star-studded cast composed of Johnny Depp as James Barrie, Kate Winslet as the boys mother Sylvia Davies, Radha Mitchell as Barrie's wife Mary Ansell Barrie, Dustin Hoffman as producer Charles Frohman, and Julie Christie as the boys' grandmother Emma du Maurier. This movie is magical and suitable for the entire family. Just goes to show that in every one of us is a child.
