Birthday! Birthday! Oh, what fun!



I had my birthday last July, which I always share with Hobbes since we don't know when his is-- my little baby, Mandy, had her birthday a few days earlier, but we only got to celebrate it a couple of weeks after because of all the rain.. a doggy party's no fun if it ain't sunny :)  here are a few snapshots:





My Birthday
This is me with my birthday cake.. yummy! 
Since forever, we've always bought our birthday cakes from the same bakery. 
It's a taste of my childhood and birthdays just wouldn't be the same without it :)
(Hobbes' says "dibs!" on the sugar flowers)

some of the really special people in my life :) 
i'm really glad they came to celebrate my birthday with me
even with the rain storm.




my brother and christine, one of my oldest and bestest friends, 
making chika about college, 
life, friends and relationships. haha 

Cheers!



The Food. Glorious, Scrumptious Food.
All lovingly done by my sister :)

Humus with some cut up veggies 



the cheese and pesto with crackers


barbecue (which never made it to the ref :D), lumpia and pastel (my mom's specialty)




and the dessert table --my personal favorite!

Cream Puffs ^_^




Spicy Chocolate Pudding

and fruit salad. man, did i eat!





Mandy's party


her brothers look on excitedly 

On the Menu:

mini cakes with liver in the middle (YUM-O!), topped with some sweet frosting and a sprinkling of crunchy dog food for each of them.
(luckily my sister was icing a cake and we got a bowlful just for us!) 



-- crackers topped with liver spread and a few crunchy munchies!


Mo starts on his crackers by employing the forklift method of picking up a piece 
and setting it down outside his bowl.


you can imagine how antsy they were all getting when i was sorting the food in front of them haha
i had to slap (in a gentle, loving way) a few stray snouts here and there :)


by this time, Fudge was shivering with excitement when he smelled the liver (his ULTIMATE fave) 
i couldn't get a decent photo haha
We call him Mr. Shivers

"can i eat now? --
how about NOW?! please?"


after our little party we had a nice lunch (of course!) of rice and dog food, our usual fare, plus lots and lots a meaty chunks and... you guessed it, LIVER! :)

Needless to say Bubu's 4th bday was a happy success!

purpleluggage floral headbands

Just a little info on the floral headbands I just posted. A lot of people have been asking about them saying they look so pretty and dainty but wonder why they're priced differently than most headbands out in the market, so I wanted to give you guys a little peek into what actually goes into making these pretty floral pieces :) I begin by making the petal canes I will use to make flowers. I usually make them by batches so i always have several canes with the same color scheme. my pasta machine, my trusty sidekick When I've made enough canes, i cut very thin slices from these petal canes and make the flowers by hand, building each flower petal by petal. And when I've made enough flowers I assemble them and lay them out on a brass finish headband base and bake the whole shebang in the oven. The whole process ( from making canes to baking to post-curing processes) takes about two days. yep. Two days. So although they do cost more th

Trash to Treasure

Okay. i will not start by saying i dont have enough time to do everything i want, because it feels there never ever will be enough time.  now isnt that just a obvious attempt at fake not-mentioning that i wish i had more time? confused O_o forgive me, it's 3am and i just finished the 1st blog entry on my to do list. those darned fb games are the devil's instrument, i tell you!! stupid bubble island made me lose 1 1/2hours blog time ( and here i was saying there never is enough time when there actually IS, i just dont know how to use it :P) so where was i, really? ah. the challenge. we had a challenge this week with the theme: Trash to Treasure.  It was something really close to my heart because by nature i am a pack rat. i save stuff i think i may need "in the future". sometimes i do find a use for them, sometimes i dont, but knowing they're there when i need them is an odd comfort. 2 days before the deadline, i swam deep into my treasured mountain of trash a
