I was doing some work in my laptop when suddenly the screen went blank *gasp*! Really, I didn’t expect such thing to happen coz it’s like 3 months old? I kept receiving a warning from Norton that I had to renew my subscription with them. It’s no longer a 1 year subscription that normally goes with every purchase of a computer, mine was 3 months, arrrggghhh! I thought of switching to McAfee’s VirusScan Plus, which I used in Joshua’s laptop. So I uninstalled Norton so it won’t post a conflict with McAfee. Yes, I was able to put McAfee, but when I restarted my laptop, all I see is a message, blah blah blah *gasp*! I was dumbfounded! I was angry! I was frustrated! Not at this time, when I needed things to be done like do my assignments, make a new banner, read more about WordPress, etc. I couldn’t think much as I was in shock! Good thing my husband was right beside me when it happened, he instructed me how to do things the right way, golly what do I know about computers anyway…I just know how to blog and earn moolah ^_^
Saturday night was spent doing recovery and installing softwares until the wee hours. But eventually I gave up, I needed to sleep coz we were attending the Sunday Worship. Thank God everything is ok now (i hope). Lappy is up and running, so is this blog!

Simpsons The Movie is finally shown in theaters. Ish and Josh have been looking forward to this since the time they watched the movie trailer. They didn’t to to their Chi Tutors today, so we can catch the movie. I even missed belly class just to see it. The theater was jampacked with children, and you can hear their loud giggles and laughters. I can even hear my children’s laughter from where were seated, they were like 5 seats apart from us. Honestly I really do not enjoy Simpsons humor, it’s crap! And you ask why am I allowing my kids to watch it? Well they are enjoying and it gives them a good laugh. And I’m not worried at all, I know my kids ^_^

2 days ago, Isha requested our driver if he could bring her home right away coz she was not feeling well. She had a headache caused by colds. The moment she got home, she went straight to bed and fell asleep. We just woke her up to have dinner. I asked her if she was going to school the following day, to which she said yes, anyway she didn’t have fever, and she had some quizzes to take. Before she left for school, I checked if she was running a fever, which she was not, so I allowed her to go to school. I was surprised to get a call from her that afternoon, that she was already on her way home, she was sent home by the school. Her yaya (nanny) fetched her coz we had the driver with us. They were not able to hail a cab, so they took the public transportation. When I got home, I asked her if she remembered how to take the public transpo (this was her first actually), to which she replied, “nope, I was too sick to remember anything”. Haha, good answer! You see there’s this running joke in the family about taking public transpo, not that I don’t like them to ride the jeepney or commute, in fact I want them to learn taking the jeep or bus.Anyhoo, she was absent from class today. We got a call from the office confirming if she was indeed sick. This is really weird, this was the 1st time we got a call from them. They’ve been with that school for 10 years already. On with the story. When we got home from school, finding his sister in his room, Josh gave her a bear hug. Hhhhmmmm, he’s sweet, NOT! Do you know why he hugged his sister? He wants to catch the bug, so he won’t be able to go to school and just use the internet the whole day. Yes, that’s my darling boy!
Ish is quite well already and she’ll go to school tomorrow, though she still has colds and cough.

This is Richard, a high school classmate and my favorite coffee buddy. He is an engineer by profession, and still single (calling out all females out there ^_^ ) He sent me an sms one time, asking if I can take some shots of him to be submitted to an ad agency. Yes, he was spotted as a potential commercial model. I’m happy to share that he is on the second stage already, he just had his VTR a couple of days back. This guy’s really funny, that’s why I always look forward to having coffee with him.

I have thin lips, so once in a while I dream of owning Angelina’s pouty lips. Since I wanted very much to have pouty lips, I checked this out at Beauty Bar. The first time I applied it to my lips, I felt uneasy, a bit perspiring too because of the sting it gives to the lips. Now you ask if I achieved the pouty look? NOT AT ALL! Have to manually pout, harhar ^_^ But I’m not losing hope, the girl behind the counter said that if I apply it frequently, it just might work! Btw, this is my second purchase for that purpose. The other one I bought at Face Shop, and didn’t work too. I guess I need an injection or something.

I accompanied and drove N to Promenade in Greehills to get him a pair of Crocs. Nope he still can’t wear shoes and we have a coverage at Makati Shangri-la Hotel later today. It’s just not appropriate for him to be wearing his Havaianas, so I suggested that he’ll wear Crocs instead. He finds it a bit weird, because of the width, and he said he feels like a dishwasher…hhhhmmm…which gives me an idea, if they made me the official cook, why not make him the official dishwasher! ^_^

Since I have posted a lot of pictures in my blog and the rule states that I should still post a picture, so here’s a picture of me that has never been seen before ^_^ Yes that’s me unmade, sans make up and all, straight out of bed. A filipina blogger, based in Quezon City, Philippines. Married to a wonderful and loving but sometimes impossible guy named Nelson. I have two beautiful kids, Isha, a bookworm (turning 14) and Josh, a videogame lover (11). I am a SAHM most of the time, but works as an assistant to my hubby, a photographer. We cover weddings mainly. At 41, I still consider myself hip and cool, thus the blog HiPNCooLMoMMa. I’m like the mommy version of Punky Brewster (well i’d like to think of it that way). I’m starting to love being the official cook of the family, it helps drive away boredom. I too joined the bandwagon of being a “postie”, it’s fulfilling to be earning quite a few moolah by doing sponsored posts. I’m happy being ME!

Remember they made me the official cook? Since then, I have never stopped searching for new recipes to feed them. This is the first time I did Sweet and Sour Fish, and I’m glad they loved it! They usually do not go for tomato based recipes, and I was surprised they all went “it’s yummy Mom!” I love cooking for the family coz they really appreciate my inferior cooking skills…don’t worry I’m on my way to become a good cook for you guys! Meantime, just enjoy all the experiments ^_^ I do for you.

Two weeks ago, N got wounded from our stainless gate. While he was closing the gate, it accidentally scraped his heel. I was not there when it happened, nor was the family driver. So he took the cab to go to the nearest hospital. He had 13 stitches all in all. The doctors advised him to stay put for at least 3 days so the wound will not open up. I’ve been bathing him since then so as to avoid the wound getting wet. I know I could have used 3M’s Tegaderm, but I had a supply of gauze and plasters at home. It took me a long time to dress the wound for the first 3 days, the gauze was just sticking to the wounded area, and I just can’t pull it just like that. Now he’s ok, the doctors have removed the stitches and the wound has dried up a bit. But I’m still giving him a bath and cleaning the wound, maybe if it has completely dried up, then he can bathe himself already. Last night I was able to give him a pedicure already. Yeah N is spoiled…by ME!

I was about to take a bath when I heard something sparking, then suddenly the lights went off. I heard commotion, inside our house and outside. I immediately wore my top without putting on my bra, gosh I was a lil bit in panic already. I had to grab my son Josh who was also groping in the dark. Ish was fast enough to go downstairs already. Josh was met halfway by his yaya (nanny), I went back to get a flashlight. It turned out, the spark came from the Meralco post. Actually fire started already, good thing the construction workers nearby had presence of mind, that they hopped on a car and hopped to the roof and threw a pail of sand to stop the fire from spreading. Firemen responded right away, but there was no need for them as the fire was put off already. Meralco arrived at 11:30, (incident happened around 8 in the evening) but did nothing. We didn’t have electricity until today at about 8 in the evening, and it took them only 30 minutes to fix it. It’s just frustrating that this people from Meralco didn’t respond right away. It took them 24 hours to fix it, arrrrggghhh! Good thing I didn’t have any deadlines to meet, hehe, if not maybe I’d go to the nearby internet shop, harhar.And you know what? I observed that it was only us who went out of the house empty handed, well 4 of us adults were bringing flashlights, and that was it. The others were bringing with them their bags and some paper bags with personal belongings. Another one was even bringing her laptop with her. And us? golly empty handed. If ever the fire continued we won’t be able to save anything but ourselves.
Praise God that the fire did not spread. We were saved from such disaster. God is really good!

When I left the house this afternoon to go to Divisoria, it was bright and sunny. Although i knew that it had been raining in the afternoons the past few days, I was just plain lazy to bring an umbrella. I don’t usually bring anything when I take the jeepney (public transportation). I just put my money in my pocket and now I can also afford to bring my cellphone with me coz I own a low end celly. You know how it is when taking the jeep, there are hungry wolves (read: thieves) around. Anyways, when I was about to alight the jeep, the rain just poured…bummer! I had to wait inside the jeep, for the rain to stop, but it did not. I just decided to get down anyway not minding if I get wet, anyway there are a lot selling umbrellas in the sidewalk. Yeah I bought one for 50 pesos (less than $1).I was able to buy some cloths for my Mom and for myself too. I just can’t resist this black beautiful embroidered silk taffeta. I’m having it made to a little black dress. I also rewarded myself with a pretty floral top, just because I got wet in the rain, harhar. Lame excuse right? I know, I promised myself not to buy anything but this pink top is just calling me. I don’t wanna dream of it over and over again ^_^

I attended the scheduled PTC in school last Saturday. I was able to talk with the teachers of Isha. Generally, they say that they didn’t have problems (academically) with my daughter, thank God. Some said that she was talkative in class therefore loses her concentration. I specifically like her Chi Teacher. She was like a mother to my daughter ( i guess all teachers should be this way, but sad to say they’re not ). She explained to me why my daughter got a low score in one of the tests. She wanted to talk to me in the presence of my daughter so she could very well explain to Ish too that when her attention is being called, it’s not because she wants to humiliate her in front of her classmates, but to correct her mistakes and admit that she committed it. I hope that everything will turn out good for Ish after the long talk we had with her teachers. At least now I’m aware of what she has been doing in school. Because most of the time, our children do not really tell us 100% of what has transpired in school. Good thing there’s PTC every grading…as much as possible I don’t want to miss any of it, so I’d be aware of my children’s standing in class, not that they are hard to manange ^_^

I’ve been busy since Thursday, N had a client call in Makati and since he can’t drive, he asked our driver to bring him there. And that means I am the official chauffeur of the kids. If only there was an internet cafe near the school, then I would have done my usual thing.Friday was spent following up some papers at the Bureau of Internal Revenue, not much work really but traffic sucks. Had to go to post office too to claim a present from my high school classmate (more of this in another entry), then had to hurry home coz I had to take some glamour shots of my high school classmate for a prospective project. Then there’s belly dancing. OMG i’m one superwoman ^_^

Wow! It’s been 3 years! 3 wonderful years of sharing myself with you guys. I’m happy that even after 3 years, I’m still actively blogging. Those “lurkers” who has tried to malign me using my blog entries has not succeeded in putting me down. As I’ve said time and again, it’s only me and only me who knows who I am talking about. I forgive you but it’s not easy to forget what you did. God bless you.
On another note, I’ve been happy with the turn out of this blog. I have gained a lot of online friends, some I’ve met and the rest I want to meet in the future. Your comments and suggestions have been an inspiration to me, but more than that the beautiful friendship that you offered I really really appreciate.
I hope you won’t get tired visiting my blog, even if you see a lot of sponsored posts ^_^ These sponsored posts I have put a lot of thought whether to accept or not, coz I don’t wanna turn away my friends and readers. Be assured that whatever sponsored posts I have written will both benefit you and me ^_^
Again I thank you all, and hope to get to see more of you in the future…leave me some love on my comment box, I’d love to hear from all of you.

Janice gave this to me as a present - “Rockin’ Girl Blogger. She is pretty new to blogging but has made lots of online friends already. She is a mother to two cute boys Zach and Amos. Janice is from Singapore, visit her and leave some hugs for his cute lil boys. Thanks so much for this belated birthday present if I may call it…you yourself ROCK Janice!And here’s what she said:
“HipnCoolMomma - Hip n Cool Momma She is an awesome mommy, from her blog title you would have figure it out. She can dance very well & brings lunch to her children everyday in school. WOOwwwWWWOOOOW ….”
At that time she started reading my blog, my “angels” (helpers) were on vacation, and all I talked about was cooking…cooking…take care of the family…feed the family…and bring lunch to school everyday…but not anymore now, although I still cook their foodie for lunch, it’s my “angel” who brings it to school. I just go occasionally if requested by the kids ^_^
There isn’t any rule on how many people I can give this award to. So here it goes:
Cuz (Marie) - my cousin definitely ROCKS! Would you believe she is a granny to two? Nobody believes that really coz when you see her, she’s like vavavoooom…especially now that she’s back to belly dancing. She’s my BFF!
Francesca (Amy) - this lady is soooo funny, and witty. I already met her and Michel (the husband), they’re a great couple, no dull moments with them. If she’s funny in her blog, triple that in person, she never runs out of stories to tell.
Shireen - a new found friend, I really admire this lady, in between taking care of her two beautiful kids Alycia and Sher, she still finds time to cook for the family, not just any food but healthy foods…she uses organic stuffs…she’s really a health freak momma, goes jogging every morning, no wonder with 2 kids she is still a size 0.
Shern’s Mom (Leena) - a new found friend too, mother to cute baby Shern, wife to a race car driver. She can’t get enough of shoes, in a day she can like shop for 3 or more pairs =) Oh, and she has a twin sister who is equally beautiful (hehe of course they are twins). Leena can be your personal shopper…she knows where to find this and that.
KC (Krisa) - another new found friend, she says she does not know how to apply make up, but she has a page that I checked out one time, and she looked like she was professionally done. She has this habit of buying domain names and would you believe just today she bought 4? She owns like about 16 domain names already…cool isn’t it? oooppps, before I forget, she is a geek…check out her site and find out more about her.

Click for a larger file
We saw this thing running on the road on our way to my Mom’s house last Saturday. And it was quite fast, like a go cart. I asked our driver to follow it coz I wanted to take a picture of it. I gave the camera to my husband coz he was seated in front of the van. So there…transformer in motion…isn’t it a cutie? Proudly Pinoy Made.

It’s good to be back dancing again. I didn’t attend class after the BellyFest…a lot of things came up. And guess what greeted me? All isolations! It’s pretty hard doing it. Imagine doing the shimmy combined with hip roll, figure 8 and reverse, maya and reverse, camel and reverse. But it’s really good for toning. Teacher asked us to do our assignment at home, meaning spend time doing it until it’s perfect, i guess close to perfect will do ^_^
Now my mid section hurts…and the good news? I did the isolation the correct way, teehee!

I got this idea from one of my daily reads JennyL. When I visited her blog one time, she made one of her digiscraps her wallpaper and I found it really cool. I even left a message that one day I will do the same. I tried changing my wallpaper the other day and it came out good…yeah a screaming hipncoolmomma on a 15.4 in monitor ^_^

I received this very beautiful present from an online friend all the way from Singapore. I’ve known her (online) the very first time when I started blogging. I sooo liked the templates she did that I just had to e-mail her and thank her. It’s the very first template I used. She was kind to have responded to that email and since then we became friends. We exchange emails once in a while, and she never fails to share all the beautiful photos of her and the family especially her lil one. Too bad I didn’t know her yet when I went to visit Singapore in 2004. We were there in February and I started blogging in July of the same year. Hopefully I will get to see her sometime as I love Singapore. Thank you so much for your wonderful friendship and the trust GIRL! And thanks a lot for remembering me on my special day, I really really appreciate it. Take care of yourself, hugs and kisses to you and the lil one.

This is *love* tag indeed, it can add to our PR rankings. Thanks Chinnee for tagging me, I badly need it - the love link ^_^ I’ve started reading Chinnee’s blog I guess for about 2 weeks now. She is a mom to a pretty 3 yr old girl named Qiqi. I just love the layouts(digiscrapping) she does for her daughter. Check her out and enjoy reading!1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.
2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.
3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.
4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW is using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!

Nelson’s all praises, he says i’m a super mom! Having to wake up at 5 in the morning, assist the kids as they prepare for school, bring them to school, come home to prepare food for lunch, bring lunch to school, come home to cook dinner, be at school by 4 in the afternoon to fetch them and bring them to their chinese tutor. Well, that has been my life for 10 days now. I thought I couldn’t manage just by the thought of it, I thought i’m gonna lose some weight, but heck no! in fact I think I’ve added a pound or two, I thought I wouldn’t have time to blog, but here I am posting at least every other day ^_^ I think it’s just proper time management, and how you look at things. I did not do all these with a heavy heart, but of course I’m counting the days until my “angels” arrive, and it seems like eternity already, harhar!The joys of being a mother…
I think I know the reason why I am enjoying right now despite not having my 2 yayas (nanny) with me. I don’t really know how to cook (filipino dishes), yeah sue me…and I will bribe you with pasta dishes and cookies. Those are my two specialties. But I tried my best really with the aid of a cookbook (3 different ones) and the internet and of course my Mom. I was able to whip some “gourmet” treats to feed the family. I call it treats because I cook only on special occassions like Christmas and New Year. My kids including N enjoyed everything I prepared for them, I got never ending “Mom, it really really tastes good! Can you cook it again next week?” Of course hearing all these, I couldn’t help but feel elated! Yes, I’m flying high! … and will be flying low soon…the bottomline, they want me to be the official cook in this house! Bwaaaaaahhhhhh…. ^_^
Hi! Call me 
! Welcome to my blog! Feel free to comment. Enjoy your stay! Special thanks to
