Charlotte's First Giveaway

I think, this month is a giveaway month 'cos almost everybody is hosting a giveaway.

Well, if you have a little dolly just like me and my friend Maritess, then you should not miss joining her contest. She is giving out a dozen of hair clips, headbands, ribbons, and tiaras for a one lucky princess. Wait there's more.. a set of stationary with a pencil case, pencil, eraser, sharpener, and ruler. Hmmm.. isn't that perfect for your preschooler?

So what are you waiting for ladies? Don't miss the fun. Click HERE to join now!

Lookies Brookies

So what do you call these cookies acting like brownies? What else but... BROOKIES! Just spread the dough in greased baking pans, bake until cooked, let cool, and cut into squares just like brownies.


Opppss.. I forgot to wipe the lens.


Instead of baking my brookies with the regular chocolate chips alone, I divided the dough into two and flavored them using tiny strawberry chips and choco chips that I bought from Bakers Depot two months ago. Yes, they are tiny, so they didn't make my brookies taste too sweet. One way of reducing the amount of sugar huh?


pink strawberry chips


I think my oven was too hot 'cause I almost burned the brookies. The brown sides did not bother us, though. Hubby finished the choco chips brookies after a couple of breakfasts. On the other hand, my daughter and I shared those with strawberry chips.

Hello Ladies!

♥♥I'm missed blogging, but we don't have internet for over a week now. Globe is still trying to retrieve the system. Haayyy.. thank God for free wi-fis!

Anyway, I wanna say thank you to all who joined my giveaway. I hope more ladies will enter 'cos after this one, I have a vanity kit and Victoria Secret t-shirt in queue. Oppsss, I'm not supposed to tell you this early. Basta promise.. still more freebies to get excited for before the year ends. Just keep on visiting my sites.

Oh hey.. thanks to the ladies who re-posted my giveaway. You don't really need to, but thanks again anyway.♥♥

Kitty Hearts

After the sunny April and May, here comes the rainy month of June. And while it's drizzling everywhere, some couples tie the knot, students queue for enrollment, and parents buy school supplies.



As a student, I loved studying and except for Mathematics, learning was all fun for me. I first attended school at the age of 5. I spent 1 year in kindergarten, 6 years in grade school, 4 years in high school, and 5 years in college plus a little graduate school.





My family didn't have a lot, but I always had enough pens and pads in my bag. I was saving my allowance to buy pink paper stationaries in high school and skipping snack time to get assorted jelly pens and glitter glue in college. Haha.


Maybe it is some kind of regression 'cos I still get excited with tiny notebooks and colorful pens like these. I couldn't stop myself from buying the other week while visiting the nearest bookstore. However, my scrapbooking box is already full, so I am giving them away to one lucky follower/ reader of this blog.


This giveaway is open internationally.

Thanks for joining everyone. I got a little excited, so I am posting the winner already. Hey, I hope you'll all join again next time.

Well, someone international almost won this giveaway. Unfortunately, she forgot to validate her entry by following this site so, she was automatically disqualified. My second try gave me number 7 and that revealed the winner by the name of aicute. Congratulations!!! Please contact me the soonest. Just don't forget to include your complete name, address, and telephone number.

Till the next giveaway ladies. Muah!

*PS. This is just my first "Turning 30" giveaway. As I promised, I have more giveaways coming until the year ends. I will post some of them at Pink MagaLine, so you have to follow that too.

Toxically Beautiful

Have you heard how poisonous this garden plant can be? This is locally known as adelfa, but its common name is nerium oleander.



the blossoms start to fold in the afternoon


Nerium oleander or simply oleander is an evergreen bush which originated from the Mediterranean and some parts of Asia. It can be trained as a tree and said to grow up to 20 feet. It has glossy dark green leaves with a shape of a spear. Oleander blossoms may come in a variety of colors like pink, white, yellow, orange, and red.

All parts of this plant are very poisonous, including the smoke if burned. A single leaf, when accidentally eaten, can cause nausea, vomiting, cardiac arrest, and the worst-- death! Despite these facts, people still use oleander as an ornamental plant.

In the Philippines, oleander can be seen anywhere along parks and roadsides. The photo above was taken at my neighbor's yard in Bulacan. I haven't talk to the owner yet, but I think I have to be cautious and disallow my daughter to go near it.
