How I Met My Husband
Good morning to everyone! This post is not fashion related. I just want to share a private now public part of my life to all of you.
Today marks our 9th year wedding anniversary. I just want to share to all my readers how blessed I am to have my husband in my life. And All of you would not believe how I met him. This post is dedicated to him because he always supports me in everything I do, specially this blogging! Now that He became my official photographer. Thank you so much sweetie!
Back in 1999, I was attending my cousin’s birthday but I was getting bored so I thought about texting random numbers close to the last 4 digit of my cellphone number just to say hi and see who will respond back to a stranger. It was my husband’s cousin who responded to my message. She was very friendly, so we’ve been texting ever since then. Then she gave my number to (now) my sister-in-law then she gave my number to her brother (now) my husband because she said we we’re the same age.
Then he started texting me, he told me where he goes to school, where he stays and since then, he started sending me those’ cute quotes almost everyday. Which was so sweet of him. It was fun texting with him because He is a very sensible man. I didn’t feel love though, just having fun exchanging messages with him.
So, it has been 2 months texting each other. He started asking this questions “can you be my girl?” And I was just playing so I responded back right away saying “yup!” Lol. Then he asked me again “so you’re my girl now?” And I said “yup!” After that I got really scared and nervous because he started saying I love you on all his text messages after me saying yes. Then he asked me if we could meet up. It was really nervous and scared of course because I will be meeting a total stranger even though we always text each other.
I found out I was gonna be my baby brothers chaperone for his field trip. That gave me an idea that it will be a safe place to meet a stranger because we have the other school people with us. So I told him yes we can meet at the zoo, he agreed!
Yes, it was at the Manila Zoo, right in front of the big bird cage that we met for the first time. He was with his younger cousin and he doesn’t look scary. He was very pleasant and he was very nice to me and my baby brother. It was so funny meeting each other for the first time to think we are officially BF and GF technically. Then he started putting his arms around me then I gave him the look. Then he backed off and by the end of the trip he was asking for a goodbye kiss. And I said “no!” Can you see all my baby brother classmates mom? They are gonna tell my parents. Then he stopped asking.
After that, we started talking more on the phone not just texting. He really invested time, effort everything to me, then I stared falling in love with him and that was it!
He is the present, enjoying our life together with our two beautiful children.
I also wanna share some of our pictures on our anniversary, because it is close to Halloween some of them we celebrated on Halloween day 🙂

Have a nice day!

Fall Essentials
Hello Everyone! I just want to thank you all for taking time reading my blog. I just want to share my 6 fall essentials to you.
Plaid shirt (similar here)I believe that this shirt is always a must during this time of the year and plus, this can be a go to outfit for everyone. You can actually wear this all year round.
Outerwear (similar here) This is a must for this season because as we know it, it is only chilly at this time of the year. You do not need to much of a cold support. This can be a stylish outwear for you in your closet.
Ankle boots (similar here) This booties are good to wear when transitioning from summer to fall. The length of this boots is just right for this seasons chills.
Michael Kors bag (similar here) This color is really for fall/winter look, it is always a good idea to have one for your wardrobe.
Jessica Alba
A woman who has been an inspiration to me. I can kinda relate because we are the same age and also a mom of two. I admire her for she has come a long way. Now, she is know for as the wealthiest woman in America, she is fit, she has a beautiful family of her own. Wouldn’t you be inspired with that?
Not just that, she is a very stylish person too. I love all her styles, she can put on any clothes as simple as a T-shirt and jeans and it will still look classy.
It’ll be my birthday next week. So I was just contemplating about myself and have her on my vision board as my goal. At least close to it 🙂 I am happy to where I am right now but I know I can do better in terms of staying fit, improving my career preparing for our children’s future.
How about you? Do you have a person you look up to?
Happy Friday everyone!

Happy Wednesday!
I have not worn anything like this before, but like I said on my about page. I am in that stage where I’ve been trying out different style. I just wanted to see if it looks good and it did. I really liked the outfit. So stylish! The material is okay, I think it would have been nicer if it is satin.
You can wear this making or when getting some cocktails with your girlfriends and some day time parties.

Eagle Rock Resort
Eagle Rock Resort
We had a wonderful weekend together with our family and friends. We were so Ockham to have a perfect weather for this mini getaway. This is actually an annual thing for our family and relatives in NY. We always get to enjoy nature and the good company.
This weekend was the first time have been in Eagle rock were they have a special event. It was a summerfest, it was a family day event. They had free food, face painting, hay ride, balloons and moon bounce for the kids. The kids really enjoyed their stay, and of course everybody did!
At the pool, they had games for the kids by diving to get the gold coin underneath the pool. It was so much fun! Adi really enjoyed that one.
It was also the first time, my daughter Adi was able to try swimming by herself. My husband and I was so excited. We had her enrolled on a swimming class last year, but after the first day when the instructor asked them to submerged in the water. We couldn’t get her to come back to the class the next day, she was crying.
As for our little boy Aidan, he was enjoying everything from the pool, moon bounce and just by running around, taking his slippers off. We couldn’t get him to wear it.
This time also, we got to go to the lake that they have. It was so gorgeous! Since we have known this resort we never tried coming to the lake. We had been missing a lot. It was never too late. They have paddle boats, row boats, canoes and pedal boats for the whole family. The weather was just so perfect! So we decided to try the row boat, when we got to the middle of the lake my husband and our friend decided that they wanna jump off the boat. The water temp was just right so I joined them. The funny part was we couldn’t jump back in to the boat. So what happened was we just swam from there to get back to the shore. Tiring!
We also had a lot of food to share, we stayed at the picnic tables they had at the side of the lake. When it was getting dark, we decided to check out the clubhouse to see what they have there.
At the clubhouse, they have a lot of activities for people of Ll ages. There was an activity room, room for toddlers where they can play with toys. There billiards, Xbox, arcade, lounge where they show movies, air hockey, foozball, lounge where you can watch a movie, basketball court. On the outside they have another outdoor pool.
I wish we can be there for a week, maybe next time we will plan it that way. As for place to stay, they have the Inn, sugarloaf townhouses, and hotel, but we prefer to stay on an outside hotel like the Marriot Residence Inn. Which is like a mile or 2 away from there.
Positive vibes friends!
Have a nice day everyone!
Simply,
Christianne
Another Summer Day
When it is summer time, as a family, we love going out to the park or anywhere close to where we live. We always make it a point we use up all the good weather outdoors, because when the weather gets cold… All indoors activities again.
We always love going to the National Harbor. It is only 10 mins away from home and they have a lot of things to do there for everyone, people of all ages.
As you can see, I wore this very simple casual outfit, because with Aidan. OMG! he loves pulling of my shirt. I had to wear something that is comfy and child proof outfit. Plus, I just realized when putting on the clothes, all 3 of us have shades of pink. Lovely color to wear in the summer time. As you can see, My husband is not in the picture because he is our official photographer.
I hope you all are having a great summer!
