Meeting you guys & receiving so much love from you makes me feel all sorts of happy & tingly down to my piggy toes!
I know I say it a lot, but know that I mean it too. I truly appreciate the time you put in reading my more-often-than-not looong & rambling blog, and sharing (as well as delighting) in our family’s experiences. I appreciate every positive comment you leave behind, and every email you send.
Some weeks back, 3 of my dear readers came to see us. Now coming to Alabang from up north is no small feat, what with the killer traffic and all. So for them to trek all the way here is for me, both a gift & a blessing.
Which is why in my own small way, I try to reciprocate & let them know that meeting them is as much -if not more, a pleasure to me as it is to them.
I asked my friend, churchmate, and coincidentally neighbor SHARON of BAKERMOM SPECIALTY CAKES -who happens to be a superb artist & home baker, to whip up some yummy cupcakes for my guests.
I tell you (and there is no churva involved just because she happens to be a friend ha!), she really makes THE BEST red velvet cupcakes in town. Not sickeningly sweet as they usually come. Sharon adjusted the sugar levels on her icings & cakes so each bite comes out delightfully unsinful! 😉 In small doses, even safe for diabetics like me.
Just click on the link above for her contact details. <3
For Gilda whose daughter was playing in the Alaska Cup the day we were meeting up, I asked Sharon to make me soccer-inspired cupcakes in chocolate & red velvet. For the lovely twins Adrielle & Adrianne, I had Shawie make chanel-themed dainty cupcakes to fit their posh personalities! ;))
Just look at those details. Sharon really put in a lot of effort into these yummy & beautiful cuppies!
Because I simply cannot decide on which flavor I like best, I always ask for a mix of the chocolate & red velvet with every box I order. <3
Not a part of my storyline but they are just too cute not to include in this post. Last week I met with some friends -one of which is a dog-lover like me, and another of the sun, sand & beach. I met them bearing one-of-a-kind gifts which brought squeals of delight! Yan ang regalong nagdadala ng ligaya. 😉

Meanwhile my favorite twins, & their lone escort hehe, also came and met the rest of the GOppets, and stayed well into the night. We enjoyed every chika minute & I feel as if we’ve know them forever by the time they left!

Thank you so much dear ladies (and a gentleman) for making me feel so special & loved. Sabi ba naman sa akin ni Kap paguwi ng mga bisista ko: Sweetheart ano pinakain mo sa mga readers mo bakit sinasadya ka. To which I replied “Hay naku Honey. Masyado ka walang bilib sa asawa mo. Tiwala lang, tiwala!” 😛

Hahahaha!!!!Panalo talaga ang comment ni Kap!
That’s why we love you, Mommy Jane! We feel your warmth, your love, your kindness (with a bit of feistiness in between – you are, after all, sugar spice and everything nice) and sincerity. When you blog, it’s like you are just telling the story in front of us. Parang magka-chika lang.

December 23, 2016 at 3:02 pmIt’s because whatever you write is sincere and comes from the heart, your humor and positive take in life radiates in your writing. There was a time that i was facing an uncertain crossroad in life, I was losing faith then i read your blog that day and it was full of uplifting verses from the bible which was spot on to what i was facing and then i begin to hope and pray again. Thank you for that Jane. The merriest christmas to you and yours. God Bless xxx
