Wordless Wednesday #65

I'm one day behind but I hope it's still OK if I still post my WW. :)

Yohan is celebrating his 6th Birthday this coming Saturday. He will have a post birthday celebration in school next week. I've been busy looking for small birthday giveaways for my son's classmates. I found cute little little ponies and zebras (stuffed toys) for the girls. You can see a sample on my other blog. Hope you can go there to check out my Wordless Wednesday #65. For the boys I bought mini cars. I still need to buy sweet treats to put inside the loot bags.

Dog Shampoo

I love pets especially dogs. I believe that all pet owners should be responsible for the proper grooming and well being of their pets. Dogs for example require regular grooming. If you notice that your dog is itching, scratching or emitting a bag smell, then chances are you are not giving your dog the proper bath it needs. There might be something wrong if the odor returns quickly despite giving your dog constant baths. Other owners wait weeks between bathing their dogs because of flaky, dry and sensitive skin. Some owners complain of their dogs' excessive shedding. When you encounter problems like these, you might want to re-think if you are using the right products for your dogs. There are many dog products sold in the market that have strong components resulting to skin irritations. Protect your dogs by giving them safe and gentle grooming products.

You might want to try the all natural dog shampoo Dogosuds ® made by Dinovite, Inc. This natural dog shampoo makes your dog smell clean for a long period. It also lathers perfectly and rinses easily. Dog owners can be assured that it contains 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils. Dogs can benefit from its natural and healing properties. This dog shampoo is perfect for sensitive skin because of its gentle soothing formula. It has no chemicals, perfumes and fillers that can irritate your dog's skin. For fleas problem, this dog shampoo is an effective natural flea deterrent. It even works agains skunk odor. You may also want to check out the other remarkable Dinovite products at their site.

My son loves building stuff using his City Series blocks (similar to Lego). The small structures usually come with instructions. I was desperately helping my son with his windmill when hubby came home to the rescue. I was relieved when hubby was nice enough to fill my shoes for this task. :) Yohan was so pleased when it was finished. Yohan made the wheel barrow and truck all by himself.

In our village, we use colored strings to tie garbage bags to distinguish its contents. Green strings are used for biodegradable waste like food. Yellow strings are reserved for cans, plastic, glass and metal. Blue strings are designated for dry paper waste while red strings are for waste that cannot be recycled nor put to good use (like diapers and napkins).

When you want a dose of sugar rush, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

I usually think of a piece of chocolate. A slice of cake would be great as well. If all things fail, a glass of coke would do. Ha ha!

My son is looking forward to watching Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Hubby and I promised to take him to the movie theater soon. Yohan was glad to dropped by McDonald's to take advantage of the current Happy Meal featuring characters from the said movie.

McDonald's Twister Fries

Yohan's first three choices are Manny, Diego and Momma Dino. He also recently acquired Sid and Ruby (not included in the photo). He needs three more to complete the set.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to my friends in the US. I decorated my yard (in Pet Society game) in honor of this special occasion. :)

I gave this gift to my SIL on her recent birthday. I decorated a miniature "Chinese take out style" box with pink flowers. I put a pink cologne inside.


Here's an empty pink heart-shaped container I found at home.

Is there something you're sorry about?

I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry to my blog friends who have recently tagged me with meme and awards. I'm sorry if I failed to do recent tags because I've been a little preoccupied. I'm afraid I lost track of some tags already and hope you won't take it against me. I hope I can make it up to you next time.

Weekend Snapshot #79 - Bratz Party

My family and I attended the 7th birthday party of my niece, Alex last Saturday. It was a Bratz theme party. We all had a wonderful time especially Yohan.

The host of the party did a magnificent job providing the entertainment. He was a funny comedian, a great balloon twister, a great game master and a terrific magician.



Yohan joined a lot of games and he won many prizes. Below is a fun game of "chef on the go". The kids were grouped into two. The kids took turn wearing the chef hat and holding the frying spatula with a toy egg. Each participant had to run around a chair before handing out the props to the next kid. Yohan (wearing the printed blue shirt) is on the move in this shot.


Even the adults had a great time participating in some of the games. Below you can see my cousin (wearing green) and hubby (wearing gray) participating in the "guess the title of the movie". The host played songs from random movies and the participant who hit the buzzer first got the chance to make a guess. Each correct answer gave the corresponding group 1 point. When I took this shot, the score was 2-4 (in favor of hubby's group). Hubby and his group mates won this game.


Here is Alex's lovely Bratz cake with matching Bratz cookies. For party favors, mini back packs with fun goodies inside were given away (pink for girls and blue for boys).


Yohan got one Bratz cookie and gave it to me. We brought home these chocolate giveaways too. It was a great and fun party. We gave the birthday celebrant a cute Bratz magic eight ball (unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture of the present).

Have you ever watched Michael Jackson in concert?

It's sad to think that the King of Pop is now gone. Michael Jackson will always be one of my favorite 80's icons.

I watched Michael Jackson in concert back in December 1996 when he went to the Philippines. That was around three months after my college graduation. I watched the concert with my best friend, Chary. The concert was held at The Reclamation Area in Pasay City. During that time, it was a vast vacant, open land area.

I remember the huge crowd, the deafening scream of fans and Michael Jackson's superb performance. There was a point when it became quite difficult to properly see Michael on stage because people were standing up. I still remember the cute couple near us. The guy carried his girlfriend on his shoulders so she could have a better view of the stage.

Another thing that made that night unforgettable was my unfortunate experience after the concert. There was a lot of soil and dust particles in the air that triggered some sort of skin allergy. I developed rashes all over my body and I had fever for around 2 days. Despite getting sick, I still have fond memories of that momentous concert.
