Can you explain this?

White Rabbit Candy

We all have probably eaten dozens of these growing up, but eat this no more cause there are chemicals found in them that can kill you! I just wanna eat hella of these now just to get it out of my system! SUCKS!

Singapore's Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) says its latest laboratory findings show that the "White Rabbit Creamy Candy" from China is also contaminated with melamine. It advises consumers who have bought the affected product not to consume them. The latest test results bring the total number of milk and related products from China imported into Singapore that are found to be contaminated with melamine to three. The other two affected products are "Yili Brand" Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection" and "Dutch Lady" brand of strawberry flavoured milk. All the affected products have been recalled earlier. Since September 19, AVA has suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China. These products include milk, ice-cream, yoghurt, confectionery such as chocolates, biscuits and sweets as well as any other products containing milk from China as an ingredient. Retailers and importers have been instructed to recall these products and withhold them from sale. As a precaution, consumers are also advised not to consume any milk or milk products from China. AVA says it will not hesitate to prosecute any retailer or importer who fails to remove these products from their shelves. Under the Sale of Food Act, anyone found selling unwholesome food can be fined up to $10,000 and/or sentenced to three months' jail, or both.

Twilight Moms

I read this article about Twilight Moms.... These books are targeting young adults (I think ages 14-17) but it's funny that not only are teenagers enjoying this book but everyone, no matter what age you are!

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE whose life turned upside down when you read Twilight? Is your house a disaster with piles of piles of laundry in every corner and stacks of dirty dishes at record breaking heights? Have you imagined your husband is a vampire (or werewolf) and suddenly have the libido of newlywed again? Do you convince yourself that "cold cereal" makes a perfectly wholesome dinner? Is the pizza delivery boy now on your Christmas card list? Are your children free to run a muck as long as no one comes too you bleeding . . .(too badly)? Oh, you feel guilty, but that's not enough! You still can't tear yourself away from the book and damned be the consequences! The good new is- YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Fans of the Twilight Series in OUR STAGE of life (whether you're a mom or not) now have a place where we can gather unashamed of our irrational obsession with vampires and werewolves. We have a place where "our kind" can relate without having to wade through all the teenage Internet code mumbo jumbo like "OMG!!! IMHO Edward is sooo Hawt!!!" (usually a dead giveaway that you should be doing your social studies homework for 3rd period instead of playing on the computer.) FYI, it was a group of 14/15 year olds that "changed" me. However, OUR world of balancing family, work, home, marriage AND...our Twilight obsession is unique, fun, and oh, so very humorous. The personal stories and experiences I've heard and read from women all over the world are a blast. YOU LADIES ROCK!!! ...and "Twilight Moms" is dedicated to YOU!!! Enjoy this little corner of the Internet that is just for us. Explore the web site, keep up with breaking news and join the forum.

Book 2

I'm finally done with book 2! This one took me longer than Twilight only cause it felt like it was a little dragging towards the middle of the book, it totally gets better towards the end - but overall I liked it! They should do a movie on this one too! Can't wait to read the third....

Nanay Ping

These pictures were taken back in 2005 when Ro and I went to the Philippines and stopped by Bohol to visit Nanay.... That was the last time we hugged and kissed her..

I miss you, Nay.

RIP

Hawaii

Hawaii was GREAT! The weather was perfect andthe beaches were beautiful...

Thanks to all of you who texted, called, emailed us and wished us a happy one year anniversary! It made our day much more special...

Happy 1 Year Wedding Anniversary, Bubby..

Marriage is wonderful........................................

And yet another wedding..........

Magno-Romero Wedding

I can't believe their wedding is already over! Wen made a really beautiful, beautiful bride! My brother is very lucky - he found a beautiful AND smart one at that! They're still in Hawaii for their honeymoon, so it'll just be another week until they settle into their new roles in society as husband and wife as well as settle into their new home! Can't wait til they get back so we can all get together for their gift opening and watch the video/view the pictures of their big day...

My mom's speech really made me sad - she had the whole place in tears... She mentioned how her house isn't a mansion, but now that all of us kids are out of the house and have settled down, the house is just so massive to her and my dad now.. It just made me ball thinking that it was just her and my dad in the house and it made me very sad.. Us siblings do a good job of having family time with my parents on the weekends, but I think with my brother out of the house now, these gatherings just won't be the same for my parents - when we get together on the weekends, Ma usually has my brother BBQ, or mop the floor and vacuum before we all come...

I mean, I talk to my mom everyday through email (like dude, 100 emails a day), phone, etc. so I dont feel thaaaaaat sad.. It just makes me think now that I'm married and planning a family, that I wouldn't mind having a bigger family than I planned. I loved growing up in a very loud home, full of screaming and laughter all at the same time. I mean, I ain't trying to have like 5 kids, but thinking of our family xmas' together at my sisters house, ALL of us being together being all loud, playing retarded board games really warms my heart...

Anyway, I totally went off topic (I've been emo since the wedding) - just wanted to wish Benny and Wenny many wonderful years of marriage... Love yalls :)

*sigh*

Call me crazy... but I think I'm in love with Edward Cullen.

Twilight

Yes that's right.. I'm also addicted to this book! My girlfriends and I have created a "book club" just for this... We have until November to read it so we have time to discuss and watch the movie together (coming to a theater near you November 21st)!!

I found this movie poster online of the characters.. It's kinda nice to put a face to a name (even though this is fictional), but this Edward isn't cute at all - well at least in THIS picture he isn't (Edelee knows what I'm talking about). I was picturing someone totally different in my head! Oh well, still can't wait to see the movie! Get ready girls..............................................

Cabanas-Abrera Wedding

Congratulations

Tea With the Girls...

For one of Cherra's birthday events, we had tea at Tyme for Tea in Fremont. The girls picked hats for us to wear, which we all surprisingly wore the WHOLE time. This was the first time for Ate and the girls to experience high tea, and they had a blast!! So much so that they want to go again (this time bringing my mom).. Suggestions on other nice tea places around the area?
