It's About Time: VOTE Wisely!

-
The 2010 Elections is happening in 6 days! While I really haven't made up my mind on which candidate to support, I know that no matter that, I have to make my vote count and that I shall vote wisely.


Life was easier back then, when business was in full swing, when the peso-dollar rate is pretty close to one another, when there were more peace and security, when everyone respected our government officials.

Let us bring those days back.

I wish for my future kids to experience the same carefree life that my parents were able to give me. Let corruption and violence stop NOW.

Come election time, this is also the height of bloodshed, violence and all the horrible things that bring chill up my spine as I watch the news. I can never forget the sight of the Maguindanao massacre where close to three dozen innocent journalists were brutally killed. This single incident caused a huge chain of effects to their loved ones as well. My heart goes out to their young children, their widowed spouses and to their elderly parents.

I came upon this website that is calling out to stop electoral violence. It's About Time is their battle cry and they are just asking us to do one thing -- to sign their petition as a sign of support to their advocacy. 

Here at Frannywanny.com, I will be raffling off a limited edition Cherie Paris It's About Time watch piece which was specially designed by artist Wawi Navarozza to anyone who can complete this sentence:

Come May 10, I will ____________________ because it's about time ___________________.

Kindly include your name/nickname and your complete email address for me to be able to contact your right away. I will be announcing the lucky winner on May 11, 2010.

Let's take a stand and vote wisely.

** color of the watch may vary depending on its availability

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
