Welcome 2015!

NY2015

 2015 is finally here and we're filled with so much optimism that this year will bring more luck, love, success and good health. Let me do a quick re-cap on the top 5 highlights of my 2014:

1) New friends, old friends
As you may have noticed, Paul and I do love our friends dearly. We're blessed to have a handful who have stayed loyal and loving to us through all these years (some have been there for us for decades already!). Being away from home may have put our friendship to the test but it's such joy to be able to catch up with them every time and it's so easy for us to pick up where we left off making us realize the true friendship knows no distance.

When it comes to new friends, we have the NKids whom we love and consider as our family in the Lion City. We're so lucky to have met them and to share a number of foodie adventures with them. C, I and O will forever be mainstays in this blog so do watch out for that.

2) Happy travels
Finally, we're back on the traveling path! After a year-long hiatus of no vacation travels outside Singapore and the Philippines the past year, we were finally able to do a fun and educational temple run in Cambodia with the NKids, I had a quick yet gastronomical visit to Hong Kong and a nice weekend getaway to Kuala Lumpur. We can't wait to fly around the region next year!

3) Love Love Love
Yes, love makes the world go 'round. This year's highlight was the engagement of my sister Pan to E. I can't wait to officially welcome my soon-to-be brother-in-law to our small (yet crazy and loving) family. Another milestone is happening soon and I know that this will bring more joy and luck to both families!

4) On the Fitness Path
I declare 2015 to be my FITNESS year! I'm so happy to be able to discover the beauty of yoga and it's such joy that I'm back at the gym, dancing like there's no tomorrow. It's high time to put my rubber shoes to good use and to focus on my over-all health. I urge you all to include this in your 2015 list too! Come on... :)

5) When dreams come true
Life has been kind to us. Our wishes and dreams becoming a reality one by one. Of course, we are both wishing for one big thing for next year and we hope it's the right time for it to happen. All in His time, they say...all in His time. ♥

May 2015 bring a great amount of joy, success, love and good health to all of you. Thank you dear readers for all the love and loyalty that you've shown through all these years. I am forever grateful. :)

Cheers for Frannywanny.com's upcoming 8th year anniversary and for this fun New Year!

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

Misto at Seda Vertis North

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
