September Photo Dump (in no particular order)

Our happy little family. ♥ Our pa-cute daughter is enjoying my mango shake–a wee bit too much, I must add. No, I don’t have any skin disease or such, that weird purplish cast is from the restaurant’s lighting.

Sweetness overload the night before he left for the US. You could say we were making the most of the little vacation time he had left. He completed the My LIttle Pony Happy Meal toys for Francine. Oh, and I think that’s the only time I ever kissed him (even this chastely) in public. And documented it on camera to boot. I figured, what the heck, it’s a special circumstance since he’s leaving the next day. 😀

While waiting for our Zingers and fries. Yeah, I guess you could say the guy’s (very) happy when we’re together. Need further proof than this photo? Kitang-kita na nga ang pangmais eh. 😀 Would you believe he finished his whole meal (Zinger, fries and OJ), ordered another burger meal (and had to wait a few minutes for it) and managed to finish that before I was even two-thirds into my own Zinger? 😮 Ako na nga ang mabagal kumain. 😀

A childhood frustration fulfilled. His, not mine. 😀 No, not the My Little Pony stuff, but completing a whole set of Happy Meal toys. Surprised me actually, but well, goes to show there’s always new things to learn about your partner. 🙂

Couple selfie. 😉 He took this photo. Hmmm… He really is waaaay more photogenic than I am. 😀

Francine and Kuya Donn, her favorite cousin, posing for the camera. Car models, anyone? 😉 They really do grow up so fast. Seems only yesterday that Francine was a bouncing baby and now here she is, already posing and emote-ing on photos. Though truth be told, photos cannot quite capture her gregarious personality properly. Oh well, I really must practice shooting more. 😛

Stylized His & Hers eye drawings on Francine’s sketch boards. We both used to draw a lot when we were younger. His was mostly anime or manga-style while mine were girls and clothes (frustrated fashion designer, that’s me). So I guess this is us rekindling our old passions and sorta succeeding.

The cutout toys on the McDonald’s Happy Meal box. I assembled the penguin, and him, the panda. He complained that I got the easier one. Oh well. 😛

That’s him assembling the panda. Large hands and small cutouts are apparently not a good combination. 😛 But he did enjoy it because we’re kids at heart like that. Afterward, he was like, “Dapat ingatan yan ni ineng, pinaghirapan yan ng Daddy!” 😀

Human ♥ Nature Overnight Elixir. Launched last Saturday, I grabbed one online agad-agad because I’m an addict like that. 😀 Been using this since Monday night. Recommended usage is 4 drops for the face and neck, but it seems insufficient (for me anyway) so I’m still trying to figure out how much to really use in one go. So far, so good. I’m badly breaking out because I just had my period, but aside from those nasty pimples, my skin looked real nice the morning after. An office friend commented yesterday morning that I looked like I put on BB cream (except for those damned pimples of course, grrrrr) even though I was bare-faced save for moisturizer and was up all night finishing The Cuckoo’s Calling. Not bad. Hopefully it would improve my skin with continued use. 🙂

I finally joined the bandwagon and got my self a jar each of Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter (not pictured) and this Lotus Biscoff Crunchy. I like this so much better. Apparently, my daughter does too because the jar was mysteriously emptied in just a couple of days, whereas the Cookie Butter still has about a fourth of the jar left the last time I looked yesterday. I got them both from Joe and Cherry. Theirs is mostly pre-order so I got this just earlier this month though I ordered way back in June. Yes, that long. And I couldn’t wait that long again to get my Biscoff fix so I looked around for other online sellers and found The Gourmet Grocer. Thankfully, they have extra stocks so I was able to order three more jars of the addicting stuff and am currently impatiently awaiting their arrival.

One of my happy discoveries this month. 😀 First saw this at 7-11 for just P5 apiece. I was like, seriously?! because it was really good. And really crunchy. Can you say cheap thrills? 😀

Oh, and I got this cutie patootie camera card holder from the lovely Lizzie of Pretty Ugly. 😀 Thanks thanks much pretty Miss!

One more photo of me and the guy I love most. ♥

So, that ends my short hiatus and photo-heavy post. Hope you didn’t get too tired of my haggard mug posted all over. ’til next! 🙂
