Suzie Logus

Catchy name right? Oh well I still prefer Choco Banana but I can't be choosy now. Since the accident, my love for Choco Banana lessen. D's right, we need more power and Choco Banana, being old and everything, cannot give us the power we need.

Oh I might be confusing you. I'm talking about D's motorcycles. He decided to sell his CB110 (we named him Choco Banana) and get a new SZ (named Suzie).

I love Suzie's color though. But comfortability-wise, I still want Choco Banana. First thing I noticed was the backride seat. For some reasons, I feel more comfortable with the CB's seat. Then the horrible heat in my feet! More noticeably in my right foot. Maybe the heat is from the tambutso or makina? Whatever I want that to go! Argh

But still Suzie's such a beauty -

Before anything else, let's make Suzie fear God.

Ohh such exciting times. Next weekend, we'll break you in. Wait for it.

Suzie's mama,
Yosh

Our baby boy

Happy Monday loves! Oh yes I decided to start the week with joy in my heart! Haha!

First off, I finally found time to take proper pictures of Pepper, Roji's son. Our first baby boy in the family for more or less a decade now. We are all excited! Even until now that Pepper is on his 2nd week.

So picture galore!

How's that for a Monday? Ok, I will let Pepper convince you to smile. :)

Happy on a Monday,

Yosh

Bangon Pilipinas

My birthday last weekend was made more memorable by the recent typhoon that hit the Philippines. When I say hit, it did hit hard. They said it's the strongest typhoon that ever hit the earth. Too bad for my home land. These past few days, we're seeing devastating pictures of the calamity, specially from the province of Leyte. I was really worried because I know 2 of my friends lived there (or at least their families are there at the time of the typhoon). For 3 days we were in the darkness because they weren't able to contact their families. Communication means were down. Yesterday, news started coming in after a satellite was set in the area. The pictures were really heartbreaking. 

But on the brigther note, my friends' families in Tacloban were found. Thank you Lord! This is a great reason to celebrate and sing - A thrill of hope, a weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! ♪♩♬ 

There are still others (more!) who need help. But material things are not enough. Sana kahit papaano nashare ko ang positivity ng aming tahanan sa ibang mas nangangailangan ng pag-asa. Bangon Pilipinas!

Sending my hope and prayers, 
Yosh

My 29th at a glance

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm now officially enjoying the last year of being 20ish. Argh! But instead of sulking on it, might as well just enjoy.

So here's what happened to my birthday weekend:

Since D have work on Saturdays and he cannot skip work just because it's my birthday (insert bitterness here), I woke up early to prepare my birthday cake. I was too tamad to bake a full cake so I made a mug cake instead.

My first mug cake - Chocolate Peanut Butter

Unfortunately, it didn't pass D's standards, even mine. I might try it again but using different recipe.

I went home to Taytay by lunchtime as I promised my family that I will celebrate my birthday with them. I was expecting the gifts from the kids (because my tita told me the night before to make sure I'll go home). But what surprised me was the party they planned for me! Yes complete with birthday cake and party poppers! Yay! I'm super touched. Thank you Turnene Family.

I left at around 4 in the afternoon. I dropped by the salon for a pedi and haircut then went home to wait for D. I set my mind to not expect anything from him. You see my husband is not a big fan of gifts or surprises. As expected his plan was just for us to have dinner somewhere then have a massage. Ok better than nothing diba? We had my birthday dinner at Binalot! Kaloka! But I just let it be because he's not feeling well and can only take that salty food. But surprise surprise! He has a gift for me! It's on my wishlist (which I told him I want to receive on my birthday hehe) so I'm super happy.

He was very much willing to give me a new watch as I am now using his watches after mine broke. Hehe

That ended my natal day but the celebration still continues the day after.

Before lunch, D and I, together with our friend Leo went to the Auto Show at MOA. It's a nice experience since we are planning to get a new car (maybe!). My eyes were fixed on the Lancer EX. No other cars can match it for me. Hehe

We were supposed to have lunch at Vikings but Leo suggested we try the Ramen House that was so popular in Instagram. Well the food was nice. Nothing extra special.

By 5pm, we were already at Royden's place to watch the Finals of Motogp. Marc Marquez won! Yey! As if I care. haha! We ended the day by 2 boxes of pizza (again!) and ice cream.

What a nice birthday weekend. My excitement for birthday is back! Weee

Happy na birthday pa,

Yosh

9th of November

Look at me, I am old. But I'm happy. 

Yes I'm a year older today. But heck! Age is just a number. So I guess I'll rephrase it na lang- I'm a year wiser today. 

Happy Birthday to me! :)

Enjoying my day,

Yosh

Roji's Joaquin

Hello! Long time no post. Haha! Anyway, it's November already. It's my birth month. Yay! But before that, I will talk about Roji's pregnancy. Any minute now my cousin will give birth to the baby boy we've all been waiting for. For more or less a decade now, our family was deprived of a prince. Palagi na lang prinsesa! Ayun sunod-sunod na girlies. We call them Kwatro Marias.

Let's first talk about our prince's name -

Joaquin is the name given by his Tita Jayna. Yun kasi ang name ng crush ni bagets sa school. Ang landeee! Our bottleneck was with the second name. I suggested having it start with A para matuwa si Turing, our lolo Arturo. But Roji made it even better, she decided it will be the english version of Arturo, Arthur! Nice!

Photos galore on your next scroll :)
