I just now had the time to blog about my luck from an online friend who recently held a contest over her blog.

And guess what? I won!

I posted this contest here. This is what I will get in a few months. I asked ate Faye to have it delivered to our home in the Philippines since it might get here during our vacation. I can’t wait to see in for real.

Thanks so much ate Faye! And congratulations too for Prismona and online friend Suzanne as well. Till next time.

It’s been a while since my last meme. So for a change, thanks to Amina for the tag.

5. Tag as many as you can and instruct them to get back to Arlene’s site to leave their url if they have joined.

Trip over love, you can get up.  Fall in love and you fall forever.  ~Author Unknown

I’m tagging randomly with my eyes close hmmm…. ate Anney, Maria, Mommy Enchie, Mommy  Chris, Mommy Joy and Sis Shey. Let me know please if yours is done so that I can check back. Thank you.

My goodness! I just realized that my last entry for ate Chris’ Mommy Moments Meme was last April 2009! Shucks! I’m so sorry ate Chris. I was really too busy. I’m trying to cope up with my blogging activities. Please help me here, keep on buzzing me up. Hehe! I’m trying my very best to at least post everyday.

Join us here if you want to enjoy more on Motherhood.

Here’s my entry for these week. A kiss from baby Julia. Coming home from work tired, receiving a kiss from my little one, ahhh… sigh… it’s like a cure to make me feel relaxed.

…and it’s time for another meme to share.

• It’s another day out with dear friends and we’ll go bowling tonight.
• Julia got a new red dress – an advance gift from Khalo Mhd [Thanks Hamude & Ninang Mojo ]
• We launched the new iPhone 3Gs in our shops and hopefully we’ll have more benefits for it and it’ll do great sales for us.
• 22 days more and we’re off for a month vacation to see Hubby’s family – and this time, it’ll be my first to visit Lebanon. So excited!
• Bought a new book to read. Haven’t started with it since I’m still organizing myself. Hopefully during vacation, I can read a chapter or 2.
• It’s still the holy month of Ramadan, and I’m praying as always that our sacrifices for this month shall be rewarded fully by Allah’s (God) grace.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
