On invitations.

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I love invitations - from birthdays to baptism to themed ones or even Christmas invitations. In fact, I don’t mind spending for a nice invitation really. For both my daughter’s birthdays, I had really pretty invitations made which elicited very nice comments from guests to my satisfaction and delight.

For her first birthday, here’s what she had…

Tagaytay Highlands.

Tagaytay Highlands is said to be the country’s premier destination for luxury living. Situated just sixty kilometers away from Metro Manila, The Highlands is a world-class recreational and residential complex nestled amid the natural splendor and cool, unpolluted atmosphere of the Tagaytay Ridge. With tons of exciting activities, plush facilities, fine dining & drinking, and Asia’s most exciting golf course, The Highlands is truly the ideal getaway haven from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Finally, after two months of waiting, the processing of our membership is done. Our membership cards are ready for pick up at the Tagaytay Highlands Country Club. Soon, we’ll be able to enjoy the amenities this club has to offer. I hope they are worth the wait and money we spent for.

I wish though we were filthy rich to be able to get one of their log cabins but since we are not, we need to content ourselves with renting out the villas they offer inside the club if we do decide to stay for the night. But isn’t these cabins just perfect for a weekend getaway?

So if you can afford one, go to your nearest mortgage lenders now and get yourself and your family the log cabin of your dreams.

The IT Bottles.

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

If you are expecting like me, you probably are in a daze on what bottles to get for your little one. After the BPA issue, I am now letting go of my Avent craze. You see, I went Avent all the way with my eldest. Right now, I am getting the IT bottles of the moment, Dr. Brown’s Bottles. Read about them here.

***If you don’t like glass bottles, you can still go BPA free with Dr. Brown as they now have the Polypropylene Bottles which are BPA free.
