Lovely Christmas Pressies

Once in a while, my sister and I chat and we just exchange photos of pretty little things such, other wise known as Jewelry, Engagement Rings. We are both ring lovers. And since she is single but attached, and ever since we were young, she would obsess about getting engaged and tying the knot. Now she does it a little bit more often than me. Now that I am off the shelf, I don’t really indulge as much anymore. But of course, I still listen to her and comment on the lovely photos or links that she sends me about her current wish list goodie!

Just before Christmas, I was telling her to pick from a website what ring she wanted. Told her I’d get it for her for Christmas. And, asked her to pick other jewelry items for the rest of the family. And, then before ending the chat I told her to go and print them off the computer because these lovelies were my Christmas present!! She did, and gave the print out to the rest of my family! Haha! Oh well, I wish next year I could hand deliver my present to them. Although, most likely it will not be those expensive Diamonds or rubies!

Are you a jewelry person?

I don’t think I am. But two things I know I can appreciate are Pearls and Diamond Jewelry. I wear pearls mostly everyday (occasionally I try a funky pair of fancy ones) and wear Diamond Earrings or Diamond Necklace on special occasions. I have a few which has been passed on to me by mum, and I love them! Hubby has also given me a few pieces which I so very much love as well! I know would pass these pieces to my future daughters as well.



Recently while window shopping I have been winking at my love, about getting me this really nice ring. He still hasn’t got the message yet, but I am sure if I get a bit more obvious he’d get it!

Okay, I should probably rephrase, I am not an accessories person, but I like jewelry. Enough said.

Cupcake Mania

If you think cupcake mania's just in Manila, you are mistaken! It is everywhere! Even in Sydney. I have come across Cupcakes on Pitt more than a year ago, while I was training for my current job, one of the trainor/speakers have brought in these yummy goodies! It was a very welcome break to our tired brains during training. The cupcakes were so cute that you would want to stare at it first before munching them in. So cute that from time to time, visitors at work would bring boxes of these to the office. A few times there was even our company logo on the goodies! How cool!

These cupcakes are guaranteed fresh on the day, and have no preservatives at all in their ingredients. These tempting treats are priced at A$2 each, which is not a bad price at all.

I heard on Valentines day this year the line actually extended all the way to Ted's Camera store next door! Cupcakes are the new Roses??

I can't wait to have my Manila friends who are visiting (soon), to try this! I guess Sonja's Cupcakes has competition. But then again, thats miles and miles away.

P.S. At one time I actually bought this game for my palm, which was Cake Mania, if you're into baking and cakes, this is quite an interesting and fun game! It's kept me up every night for a good few months!
