Yesterday's view at the beach; cloudy and windy. Nice weather to eat soup but my brother offered ice cream instead. Who am I to not accept, its free!!! Friday is here, I still have no plans for tomorrow as I am now busy cooking. Hope that my housemates will appreciate it; they don't have a choice tho as I am today's chef! ...^•°... Have a great Friday noisemates!

My very own version of sweet and sour lapu-lapu, with periwinkle on top!!! Trying to be pro and to make my housemates smile before tasting it. Achieved!! They really smiled and said my version is really good and even better than our version of baked bangus. ...^•^... Hard work really pays off when you put your heart and wittiness in it😁
Love is love The universal language as they say Some twist lies just to make it look right Some just love, no questions asked But what is the most important love of all? The love that our loving Father has for us Eternal, pure, incomparable, full of compassion. May we all learn to bow down and glorify Him. ...^•°... Good night noisemates!
Another pretty bloom In my garden make a boom I could not help but say Wow, what a wow! ...^•^... After months of waiting, my rose finally blossomed with a pretty hot pink. Hope that more and more flowers will come out soon. Trust the process Learn to wait Patience will always give you reward. Happy weekend noisemates!
I was not feeling so well after lunch that I slept instantly. Yuri did not sleep, she just played. But to my surprise, she showed me this cute crying face. She said, she felt sad because mommy is sick. Aw, sweet little darling.
I have been longing to capture this kind of sunset As it was raining almost every sunset time And today is a little different The sky was glowing, fascinating, amazing I did run as fast as I could just to have a glimpse of it And it was successful Now, I have something to share with you.
A proposed wine bar just under our stairs. Hubby drew it as I am slow at picking and imagining in verbal. Now, I am in quest of finding the right slab for this project. I am excited to see the final result. Actually, it will not be a wine bar, it will be coke bar because we are so addicted to coke🙂 ...^•°... Happy Monday noisemates!
Samsung inspired wood phone for Yuri! She has been requesting her dad to make one because the one she was using was a plastic toy. Good thing daddy has this wood and just drew unicorn as the screensaver then added some phone details including the brand. Yuri was so delighted and excitedly showed it to her friends.🙂 Isn't it cute? How's Monday noisemates?
Waiting, waiting Waiting for the waves to fall Set my phone to landscape Then find a good angle Click, click, and click What a reflection shot it creates! ...^•°... Thankful to have witnessed such an astonishing sunset yesterday. I still could get over it:) Night y'all!
Trying to be productive but the market just don't cooperate this time. But patience is the key and also a talent, so I'll just wait and see and hopefully, later on these charts will be on my side😁 Happy Wednesday noisemates!
Went to the beach for a super quick breather I got bored after cooking our dinner Good thing my company (father and daughter, including Jac) immediately said yes when I invited them What a relief after feeling the sand and the splash of water in my feet Now, I am energized and ready to eat! How's your day noisemates?
Those raindrops Makes my jaw drop Especially when it's under These mulberries that I so love!!! ...^•°... Passed by at this bountiful mulberry tree of our neighbor and before picking some ripe fruits, I took advantage to take a shot. They said mulberry is healthy so I might asked a branch from my good neighbor so I can have one at our backyard too. Do you like mulberries too noisemates?
Sometimes we need constant reminders of our goals, of our values, of how we should perceive things or situations we face in life Because there are times that we forget, we lost track But there will always be people, things or also scenarios wherein we will remember, that will tap us that hey, this is what you should do or should be doing. ...^•°... Random thoughts before I bid goodnight because it's almost 11pm in this side of globe. Good night noisemates!
Daddy: Mommy gising ka na, tanghali na Yuri: Daddy, wag mo gisingin si mommy kailangan nya mag-ipon ng energy. May ubo pa sya di ba? Daddy: Ay, oo nga napuyat pala kakaubo si mommy. Sige hayaan na lang muna natin. ...^•°... Naulinigan kong usapan ng mag-ama ko kanina, kaya inextend ko na ng kaunti ang tulog ko. Ang sweet naman talaga ng mga taong nasa paligid ko, gagaling agad ako nito🙂. Gandang Friday noisemates!
Missed another sunset today because we went swimming early. I planned to go back to capture the sunset but I totally forgot about it when a neighbor came to visit us. When I opened my Fb, I saw a friend who posted the gorgeous sunset she just captured today. Oh, being marites sometimes is not good😁. Anyway, sharing this pretty sky I captured the other day. How's Friday noisemates?
Ako ay napahanga Sa gandang taglay nya Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa kanya Para kunan ng litrato nya Kaso tila ba sya ay nahihiya At ka-cute'an ko yata Sa kanya ay di uubra Ako sana ay kakanta Paro-paro G na laging kinakanta ng mga bata Kaso sya ay tinabihan na Ng bubuyog bigla Kaya ayon, sya ay lumipad at di ko na nakita. ...^•°... Gandang umaga mga ka-noise!
Ako ay naatasang magluto Ng paborito naming bilo-bilo Dahil ang kapatid ko Ay di naman pala marunong nito Kaya ako ay napa-oo Nung sa akin sya ay nakisuyo Buti nalang sinipag ako Kaya naman napasarap ito Oo, walang halong biro Dahil si hubby ko Nakatatlong balik ito! Kaya naman ang tanong ko Sa hapunan kaya kakain pa ito? ...^•°... Masarap na bilo-bilo para sa maulang araw ng Sabado mga ka-noise!
In my garden I see A succulent so pretty I know she's been there for a while But I was busy taking care of my other plants Thanks for the rain Because I noticed her once again. ...^•°... Sometimes in life, because of the so many priorities in line we overlook the basic things that would really make us happy. May we learn to slow down, take it easy and enjoy the now that we have. Have a blessed Sunday noisemates!
Life is full of wonders, mystery and miracles It's hard to decipher what will happen next We just wait as it is and let them surprise us After all, we all love surprises right? ...^•°... Been a busy day for me and now time to jump to bed and call it a day. Good night noisemates!
Every morning is a blessing as they say and yeah, that is so true especially when you see this kind of view. You really feel how God love each one of us and that He never wants us to be unhappy. Went to the beach earlier to buy some ice cream🙂 Happy new week noisemates!
Never let that spark go dim Keep it glowing, keep it shining So is your dream Keep working on it Even if the world seems against it. ...^•°... Found this little drop shining, shimmering under a leaf. As if reminding me, hey it's a beautiful day! Happy Tuesday noisemates!!!
Go my dear, Even if it hurts I will let you spread your wings Follow and achieve your dreams I will just be right here Cheering and waiting Until you will say, Mommy I'm home! But for now, I will let you rest in my arms Hold you tight and give you a very tight hug Sing you lullabies until you fall asleep Cook your favorite macaroni And fill your baby memories With laughter, love and bonding times So that when you face trials You will just look back and smile. ...^•°... Sleep…
She may be dangerous in your eyes And might be scared to be even bitten But that's how she created She needs to do it to survive. We all have a purpose Even with our imperfections We may not understand it at first But God has his ways for us to see and realize them soon. Happy Wednesday noisemates!
Me and my little princess will have a date tomorrow. She has been asking if when can we have a mommy and daughter bonding and so we have decided to have it done tomorrow! Yes, we will be going to Vigan and she already prepared our itinerary. 1. Visit National Bookstore (special request). 2. Eat in Jollibee. 3. Go to the Department Store. 4. No cellphone allowed. And because she is too excited, she already prepared her outfit😁. This little girl is growing up too fast and soon…
A day in the park. We had a windy weather, a bit cloudy and only few kids around. Yuri and Jac enjoyed playing around, using all the facilities all by themselves. A perfect bonding moment of these two cuties. Our mother and daughter bonding is postponed but Yuri had a great day especially when she saw and tasted spaghetti and jolly hotdog. Now, time to rest noisemates!
A special cake for our Auntie Bely today!!! She just turned 66 today and what better way to surprise her but with this specially made cake for her. Nanang gave me 66 pesos which I put under this cupcake. Now, I am excited to see her reaction when she sees this one. Each day is a celebration, so we should make sure that it will be a blast! Happy Friday noisemates!
Yuri created her own phone version using card board box, bond paper and my phone. She copied some apps and drew it on her phone. How cute!!! To support her and show that we are proud of what she does, I pretended to open the camera of her 'phone' and took a selfie🙂. ..^•°.. Just woke up from afternoon nap and we are ready to eat dinner.
This morning, we visited a cousin who, we haven't seen for 10 years and as a treat, he bought us these fish! Yes, that's a lot! He said, it's his way of making up for the lost time. Now, we have a lot of these for today and the coming days as our viand. How's your weekend noisemates?
In this life, we see people who really work hard even on holidays People who tirelessly are striving to pursue their dreams To achieve what they think is destined for them Yap, that is okay and alright But please, when you the top or even when you are on your way there Don't forget to be kind. ...^•°... A daily reminder from Wood Arts by Roy and me:) Happy new week noisemates!
Isang araw na naman ang matatapos Ang linyahan ko pa din ay kapos Parang boses na namaos Dahil sa pilit na pagkanta ng maayos Pero itong gandang aking nasilayan Sa baybayin sa kanluran Na kahit na may konting ulan Ito pa din ay aking inabangan Di naman nasayang Aking pagtakbo ng mabilisan Dahil kahit ang ulap ay may kakapalan Di nagpadaig ang ganda ng kalangitan Parang ang ganda mo lang kaibigan Dumating man mga delubyo o pagsubok na yan Isang ngiti mo lang Sure na taob mga…
Recycling at its finest! This hanger like wood has been hanging in my garden since pandemic and since my hubby has been looking for something to build, I thought that he might be able to think of something good out of it. And I was so right, he turned it into an amazing and unique lampshade!!! When my brother saw it, he wanted to bring it to Casa and sell it. But no, this one is mine ans exclusively for our home:) Do you like it too noisemates?
No swimming for today Just beach watching Yuri is not feeling well because of her colds And she just wanted to breath the salty sea breeze. How's everyone? Hope you are all having a great day because it's already Friday!!!
Si kapitbahay Namigay ng lumang kahoy Ayon, naisipan ni hubby Gawin na lang lagayan ng mga wine at wine glass Eto nagawa na, kaso wine glass pa lang meron Yung wine di pa nakabili Yung nakadisplay juice po mga yun😁 Pero ang ganda-ganda talaga ng pagkakagawa Simpleng lagari, liha at barena At madaming sipag at tyaga Ayun, may instant lagayan na kami! Sa mga gusto po magpagawa Contact us lang..heheh
Another work-in-progress if my ever determined, creative, and super hard working hubby. He could not sleep without completing some tasks and so for today, he managed to finally build our wine bar! Plus, a lampshade! Some more finishing touches before we will finally transfer it to it's proper place and can't wait to share it with you my dear noisemates! We can all be creative, we just don't limit our imagination!
How great is that scene Never before seen Not even my wildest imagination have foreseen The beauty of the sun setting. Life battles and triumphs cannot be foreseen too But we keep on looking forward Because we believe that at the end of it all Is a satisfying result. ...^•°... How's your weekend so far noisemates?
Early to rise! Yey, finally woke up earlier than Yuri and this time I was able to capture Mr. Moon before Mr. Sun will rise. What a great feeling witnessing the beauty of the morning sky, smelling the cold breeze while sipping a not so hot coffee. Now, time to cook our breakfast noisemates! Stay blessed everyone!!!
Yuri is up and about Here at the beach and enjoying the salty water The water is a bit cold and really really refreshing As much as I want to join them now I need to do my part in keeping mother nature clean In the coastal clean-up drive of our barangay. So, see you all guys later!
All were busy cleaning-up while I am busy capturing moments like this for documentation purposes. (I was in-charged of taking photos kasi:)) That is why, I have no picture of what I did earlier for the coastal clean-up drive. But I am so happy that we did this drive again and I hope that with or without such event, we will maintain our environment clean and free from rubbish. After an almost 3-hours cleaning, I deserve quick dip at the beach! Whoaah, so relaxing!!!
A customer of Casa asked, who designed this place? I answered, actually Ma'am this place is the result of pandemic. It's a team effort especially these young minds who wanted to enhance our place. Customer, oh wow! Unbelievable! This is really beautiful! Can I get your number? I must ask your guys help for our property nearby. Oh, thank you Ma'am! ...^•°... I saw in that woman's face how delighted she really was at Casa. She even told me before they left that I'll expect a…
Truly, great things comes after a storm Another proof of this breathtaking sunset I just witnessed now. It is so gold, serene and it totally blew my breath away. Life is not all about trials, sadness and pains There are more times when we are triumphant, joyful and at peace We just learn to see how blessed we are. Happy Monday noisemates!!!
Tulong-tulong sa pag-ahon Di urong sulong Natapos na ang unang SONA ng pangulo Daming natuwa pero syempre may mga hindi Mga kapwa ko Pinoy ba naman To see is to believe lagi Kaya habang ginawa ng pangulo at kanyang kabinete ang kanilang tungkulin Gampanan din natin ang atin Alagaan ang ating kapaligiran Respetuhin ang ating kapwa Dahil sa munti nating gawa Kahit pano may malaking dulot ito sa ating kapwa, sa ating bansa, at sa ating mahal na lupa. Gandang Martes sa aking mga…
Shrimp pasta for today! It's a special day today because it's my Tatang's birthday. He may be in heaven now but in our hearts, he is still with us. If your parents are still with you, don't forget to give them a tight hug and sweet kisses. Have a good night noisemates!!!
What a very scary morning! That was one strong and a bit long earthquake we experienced today. We were on the upper level of our house and about to start with our lesson when house started shaking. I immediately approached Yuri and hugged her tightly while praying. News said that Vigan is the epicenter of the earthquake and it's only 30 mins away from us. Praying for no more aftershocks and even tsunami scare.
The sea is so serene No trace that an earthquake was felt There were still aftershocks until this afternoon But thank you Lord because they were just mild Reports showed that there are no tsunami alert. Oh Lord, we put our trust in you🙏🙏🙏. ...^•°... In times like this, may we not panic but bend our knees and pray. Keep safe noisemates!
What makes life beautiful? It's the people surrounding us, marites or not The air we breath, the food we eat The greens and other blooms in the garden The blessings that we receive There are so much more to enumerate But the most important one, Is a loving Father who continues to embrace us with His eternal love. Happy Thursday noisemates!!!
The beauty that never fades, The colors that never stop shining, The vibe and feeling that it brings, The peace in the lonely or a happy heart That's what sunset gives The impact that is hard to explain Something great, something intangible. How about you noisemates, how do you feel about sunset?
Last night, we felt another shaking of the earth Yuri was too scared that she jumped off from her chair and hugged me so tight We slept downstairs with mother because that would make her feel better She even told me this morning to not sleep in our room yet And she just wants to go back when there will no longer be earthquake for 2-3 consecutive days. And tonight, my nephew said, it's evening again Our house will dance again Tita. ...^•° ... Kids are afraid, so we as adults…
New designs from Yuri's accessories! She asked me if I can design flower out of the seed beads that she have and so I searched in Youtube for simple ways to create one. It's so easy to make, just that there was again an earthquake so we needed to go outside of our house for safety. The two other designs were made by Yuri herself, they're cute right? When she showed it to her resellers, they were excited to order🙂 ...^•°... How are you noisemates?
