Knitting Strong

I stayed at the hospital with my terminally-ill father and knitted this cowl for my uncle, who’s celebrating his birthday in Europe next month. 

I used The Attic Yarn and Craftery’s choco fusion yarn to complete this project. 

I also got to attend Easter Sunday mass at the Pink Sisters Convent with my helper, Racquel.  

We had brekkie at Mushroomburger, where I was pleasantly surprised by their delicious food, coffee, and buko panda macapuno sundae.  

I met up with my paternal relatives for lunch to celebrate my uncle’s birthday in advance. I also gave my advance birthday gift to my goddaughter, Kate. I got her a curvy Barbie doll, to teach her about body inclusivity at an early age.  

I also made her fit the beanie I was knitting for her for size. 

I drove home and it was a beautiful summer day! Here’s to more sunny days where I knit myself strong.  

Barbie Style

Yesterday, I spent time with my family. We had lunch at Via Mare, where I had the corned beef sauté breakfast meal.  

I was able to buy doll clothes and shoes for my Made to Move Barbie doll at Landmark Department Store. 

I got this burgundy gown which was too long for my doll.  

The pack of shoes were delightful, though. The jelly heels match her existing Hello Kitty outfit perfectly.  

I shortened her gown and turned it into a dress to showcase her new pairs of shoes.  

With a little creativity and imagination, life can be so much better! I’m never too old to enjoy the simple joys of play.  

Forever Young

As I face many challenges with my dad being terminally-ill and my jobhunting journey, I felt that I needed a break. I went to Barkin’ Blends Dog Cafe to unwind with their friendly doggos.  

I missed my favorite dog Ella’s kisses! She’s a tiny chiweenie with a big heart.  

With Bonita, a tiny poodle. 

Chocnut and Stitch!

With Stitch. 

With Martha. 

And Happy the Pug!

I had lunch with my family at Conti’s. Their chicken roulade was delicious! 

For dessert, I had the Oreo matcha frozen yogurt from Elait.  

Then, I dropped by the Barbie birthday event at The Block. 

I’m a shameless Barbie fan. I got dolls for me and my goddaughter Kate.  

I could hardly contain my excitement with my new doll. 

My Grab car yesterday was cute! It had Doraemon seatcovers. 

Then, I dressed my new doll in her new Hello Kitty outfit.  

She’s a Made to Move Barbie, and I had fun posing her. 

There’s nothing wrong with playing with toys as an adult. Being forever young helps me manage with life’s stresses with positivity and good vibes.  

Here’s to more happy days ahead!
