I really thought I had posted this entry already but obviously, I haven't. Work is really taking up so much of my time plus the Dimsum Factory we just opened outside SALA Lounge + Café is also, thank goodness, picking up fast! The inventory is a nightmare for someone not so great at Math. Ahem!

Too bright? Nawww... not really.

I just love this dye. It's my new favorite because it doesn't smell ammonia-ish!

You get all these goodies inside the box.

Perfect fit and I can apply the dye evenly.

Hey, it's called a BUBBLE HAIR DYE for a reason. And this is why!

Let the games begin! Errmmm, or the dyeing process commence...

It seems the longer that my son's hair is growing, it's become quite a blast of sunshine on his head. As you can see here, he just woke up. I don't really know what specific shade of color is his hair but look, it is amazeballs!


So I was aiming to get something just like that... and 2 hours later!!! Yes, 2 hours because I was so busy in the kitchen (notice the apron?) that  I lost track of time...

Almost the same color??? Hmmm.

Filtered photo from Instagram.

Still so happy how it turned out. Overcooked, maybe. But still...

So now, it's time for the BEFORE and AFTER photos! Platinum beige with roots showing to Chiffon Beige.

My hair is dry. Ugh. Need to get some treatment.

Bye, bye dark roots!

There you have it!  This is MyMaria - MrsNoodleBoy in Prettia Chiffon Beige.

In other news, you know, I have been blogging officially for 9 years now. Whoa! Has it really been that long? Am I that old? Well, as you can see, I'm striving to be responsible and financially capable; also I am married with a wonderful husband and an adorable baby boy, and my weight has drastically changed from the previous years apparently. This blog really is my memoir. The links to some old pictures may be missing, but the texts, oh the verbal diarrhea, they are there! I sometimes surprise myself backreading to a certain point in time and wonder if I really thought and felt like what I had written. Anyway, if I could create a timeline of what I had been doing for the past decade, I can imagine how it would look like, thanks to the entries in here that chronicles my post-adolescence and journey to early adulthood life. By next year, I'll be entering a new decade in life. It's the big 3-0!!! To say that I am thrilled does not even begin to describe my excitement. I'm going to rock my thirties and you know I will! :)

Note to self: I must do a HUGE 10-year blog anniversary giveaway for 2013 as well as a birthday treat to all my readers and friends! So guys watch out for that! It's gonna be MAJOOOOR!

I know it's been quite a while since I've posted anything interesting in my blog. Motherhood has really been quite a challenge. That and working more so I can pay for the additional expenses in my household. Nothing gargantuan but I oh so need more than 24 hours in a day!!!

Anyway, since it's Sinulog in Cebu right now and again, we weren't able to go for obvious reasons, the guys decided to celebrate anyway. So here we are at SALA Lounge + Cafe's Patio + Bar.

xoxo,

And so much to be thankful for... But first off, I apologize for not writing or updating my blog. I didn't realize married life could take up so much time -- it's basically like another life. Not complainin' here coz I love, love, love being married. Now I know why people say, "Try it!" because it's amazing. Especially if you married the RIGHT ONE.

Okay so lemme just update you guys quickly, although I do apologize for not being thorough in explaining things and baring my soul once more in my blog. But I promise, when I get my new computer (hopefully soon *crosses fingers*) I will be able to resume my writing and photography. You see, had I not gotten married, my priorities would be fairly simple. Go on vacation. Buy a new computer. But all that has changed since I became Mrs. Franco. I have to face up to responsibilities now, focus on the finances, and especially with the baby on the way -- yes, you read that right, WE'RE PREGNANT!!! Then there's a lot more going on in my life than just frolicking in the sun and technolusting. And I do welcome every change happening with open arms. It's finally a whole new page in my book and I'm glad to be alive to live this one out... and of course, tell my story.


So I just celebrated my 28th burpday! WOOT! Thanks to everyone who sent messages and tweets with their greetings... and believe me, I am deeply touched that you guys remembered. Sorry for those who didn't get a reply or thanks from me because I was busy preparing for my PAJAMA PARTY! WOOT WOOT!



Naturally, a party is not a party for MyMaria if there isn't a theme. So this year's burpday was spent in jammies and it was so cool of my silly friends and family to come wearing their sleepwear. :)



As you can see it's also the product of our imagination, SALA Lounge + Café's 1st anniversary! Wow! Time sure does fly... and now we are extending the place to make room for an outdoor café and a street bar. Hopefully, I get to work on the cocktails menu and tapsilogs as soon as possible so we can open up the annex.

There's so much to write about. So little time. There's a funny piece I am working on about being married and all that... It's not boring ha! You should wait for it.. Soon. I'll post it! In the meantime... stay tuned. ;)

P.S. Thank you Lord for another year, for my family and friends, and most of all for all THE LOVE that you have given me -- manifested in my new family ♥ ^_^ 




xoxo,
