Dolci Amante

That would be Sweet Lover in English. This phrase perfectly describes a part of me. Actually, I think it is the culprit why I’m having a hard time loosing weight. What can I do, these stuff are hard to resist?!

Yesterday, after the long wait in the clinic for Maxyn’ vaccine, we went to SM North. We had a late lunch at Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria. I totally forgot that we just had pizza and pasta last weekend because I was so hungry already.

Anyway, we ordered pizza. They have an on-going promo, two 8″ pizzas for only PhP199. The little girl kept on telling me that she’s full and only wanted some gelato. Originally, she wanted strawberry but it was unavailable. She ended with Mint with Chocolate which I also thought of ordering.

While we ate, hubby left us because he has some errands to finish at Banco de Oro. When he came back, there are still some pizza but he wanted some pasta. I on the other hand wanted something sweet again. I ordered Frozen Cappuccino Mud Pie. It is made of layers of vanilla and coffee crumble ice cream in a tasty and delicious cookie crust. I super enjoyed this dolci. Its serving size is good for sharing for the price of PhP90. I can eat it over and over again.

I will surely go back to this place and will try their other desserts.

Being working mom steals a lot of time from my family. I am away from my kids for more or less 12 hours a day: 9 hours of work and about 3ince Maxyn is still small, she gets more attention from me than her Ate. I know it shouldn’t be the case so I make it up with Ayex during bed time.

Before we go to bed, I give Ayex a half bath. During this, we play pretend in the bathroom and make loads of bubbles. Hearing her giggle and laugh out load somehow decreases my stress.

After the half bath, we sometimes watch Playhouse Disney together where I join her perform the actions in the show we are watching. We sing, hop, dance, clap, shout, and even draw as we watch the television.

Our catching up continues in the bed. While lying down, I let her tell me stories of anything. Ayex is in that age where if she remembers something, she tells you the story of it. And I’m telling you, this little girl’s memory is super! Maybe because I breastfed her. Hahaha! Anyway, her stories range from how her day went or something that happened from the past that she suddenly remember. During this, I discover her new words and expressions. Yes, expressions like Uy, bagong ligo and she is only 3 years old. While she tells me stories that could last for an hour or more, I massage her feet. And before I know it, she’s already asleep.
