and let's end the 2008 by checking this Rhonna Farrer giveaway.

{stay safe}

super loaded tree

got to finish {almost} all gift-shopping yesterday. just need to buy one more. sometimes it's just so difficult to think of what to give someone who almost always get what that person wants. hmmm.

anyway, am so excited for jp. have his gift still kept in a cabinet. will wrap it on the 24th {just to be sure he wont peek}. he's been conning us to tell him what it is. he just have to learn the virtue patience. :-) hihihi.

hope you all have a happy holidays {merry christmas to all}

a {very} wonderful birthday-Christmas present

i am a {very} happy Babe :-D

best peanut butter cookies i have ever made. plus PW best chocolate sheet cake. ever.

i love - cookies. peanut butter. chocolate chips. my favorite? keebler's soft batch cookies. that's how soft i love my cookies.

smittenkitchen has a recipe for {the only} peanut butter cookies she makes. tried them today. made half a batch for me and JP (soft) and half a batch for ruben (crunchy). photo from smittenkitchen

if you want to see how to make this cookie. hop on to smittenkitchen. you may be enticed to try it and like me, be persuaded to have this recipe as the only peanut butter cookie recipe you will ever follow. :-D

got to try pioneerwoman's chocolate sheet cake too. my boys just love it. :-)

on another note, is everyone done with their Christmas shopping? not me. and i don't know what fate awaits me when i go to the mall to complete all gifts. a tree with no gifts under it

oh, well. i brought this to myself. now suffer! {hihihi}

i really hope you have completed your holiday shopping. really. it's for your own good. :-D

school friends

twilight really had an effect on me (haha). i kinda missed school. friends. barkadas. crushes.

came across this old picture. so young. there are 2 other girlfriends missing in the picture. my college barkada. missed these gals.

jp's into shawarma lately.

and found this picture of us having shawarma at home (taken december 30,2007). we were going to watch the fireworks display at SM and we do not have time to grab some shawarma so we made our own when we got home.

as you see, eating is one of our favorite bonding time. hihi. just wanted to share. :)
