UN Day 2012

For United Nation Day, Antonio was assigned to wear the National Costume of Mongolia. I searched the net kung ano itsura, parang Cheongsam lang. I printed out the costume and asked my mom to go to Divisoria to look for the costume. Stage Lola kasi kaya pumayag! Haha! For the hat, I asked my brother to do it. Sayang nga at medyo malaki yung hat.

On the day of the presentation, I was so worried that Antonio will not participate as this was Antonio's first major school event. Hay, I was so happy that he was so game =)

haha, naging Mongolian si Spiderman

Trick or Treat 2012

So sorry for super backtracking...Throwback Thursday lang ang dating haha! Naghahabol lang ako ng post for documentation purposes =)

Antonio was into Spiderman last year...as in halos lahat ng pictures nya everytime naka spiderman pose sya haha! Since he wanted to have a Spiderman costume, naghanap talaga ako ng magandang costume. It was a good thing, the brother of Arch went to the US and sakto sa Halloween ung uwi nya =)

We attended 2 Trick or Treat Events - One in Paradiso Terrestre, a few days before Halloween:

Then we went trick or treating in Ayala Alabang on Halloween.

Punta Fuego Getaway

We went to a lot of Beaches last 2012. First, we went to Calatagan in May with my Family, then to Laiya in June with Arch's Family, then to Punta Fuego in October together with Arch's childhood friends =)

Here are some pictures during our Punta Fuego vacation:

Officially Southerners

We moved in to our new house last Saturday. That morning din, we had the simple and small blessing. It was only Arch, Antonio, our Yaya, my parents and sister (dahil they helped us with the move) and I who were there to catch all the coins...ay to witness the blessing of God's gift. I specifically told my husband na ipabless agad yung house kasi at least kampante kami diba? And para wala ng reason to host a big event hehe!

Though, that night, my brother and his family visited us. Gusto lang nilang istorbohin kami haha!

Anyway, when we left San Juan, Arch's lola was crying. Ahuhu. Naiyak na rin ako. E kasi naman mamimiss nila si Antonio. Almost everyday, Antonio was there...nakikikain! Also, our manang (the maid of Arch's siblings) cried. Then, the sister of Arch wrote a message in FB (she was traveling kasi last Saturday) na she misses Antonio and she is having a separation anxiety. Hay, nakakalungkot but I know they are happy for us. And this is a dream come true talaga. When we stayed at my in-laws place, sabi ko talaga kay Arch, dapat 3 years lang kami dun. Ayun, ang galing 3 years and 4 months lang kami nagstay dun....God is good! =)

Magulo pa yung house. May mga boxes pa rin kami dito. Pero slowly, nililinis na ni yaya yung mga kalat namin. Mas OC pa yaya ko. Haha! May mga kulang pa rin kami...though hinay hinay na lang muna sa pagbili at kailangan magtipid =)

Year of the Water Dragon

How did you spend your Chinese New Year Long weekend?

Last Saturday, my husband and I went to Ahavia Spa. Finally, nakapag massage na ulit kami.

Last Sunday, after hearing mass, we went to Greenhills. Antonio had a haircut and played at Timezone. Nakakatuwa si Antonio kasi after 3 years, umupo na rin sya sa car chair ng barbershop. Then, we ate at Papa John's. Grabe ang sarap ng pizza! =)

For dinner naman, we ate at Zhu at the Fort. Okay lang naman yung food. Mas gusto ko pa rin sa Kanzhu. =)

After dinner, we walked towards Boni High. We tried Jamba Juice and stayed near the water fountain. At first, nagbububbles lang yung mga kids...then, di na nila napigilan, naglaro na sila sa fountain. Buti na lang si Antonio medyo takot so di sya nabasa...hands lang =)

playing with bubbles

Nieces of Archie, running around

Then, last Monday, we just went to Megamall to look at some sofa sets and appliances needed for the house.

What a way to start the Year of the Water Dragon =)

First Surprise in 2012!

When I learned that there will be Disney on Ice again, I told my husband na we should watch. I was planning to buy the Php900++ tickets for the 3 of us, kaso sabi ni husband ko parang ang mahal daw (kahit ako magbabayad haha). So I kept on delaying the purchase. Tapos when we went naman to Megamall, 2 weekends before Christmas sabi sarado na daw yung ticketnet, so sabi ko sign na talaga yun na di na kami magwatch.

January 1 lunch time, somebody called my husband. It was my husband's cousin. She has 3 tickets daw (Php675 each) for the 8pm show that day. It was supposedly for the apo of the maid of the cousin's boyfriend (ang haba ahaha) kaso the apo is sick. So they are selling it for Php1500 na lang daw sayang naman e. Since good deal and sayang nga, my husband bought it na. Then, the cousin said na Php1000 na lang daw bayaran namin kasi ilibre na lang daw nya si Antonio. Oh diba ang bongga!!!!

We left our house around 6pm, got the tickets at the cousin's condo, then arrived Gateway around 7pm. Since may time pa naman, we had a quick dinner/merienda at TacoBell. 730pm nasa loob na kami ng Araneta. Maaga pa pala kami! Haha! Our seat was Upper A, at the side of the 'stage'. Okay naman pala ang Upper A =)

Here are some of the pictures I have taken that night.

I was nervous na baka di lumabas sila Buzz and Woody, kasi gustong gusto talaga ni Antonio yun. Buti na lang they were there =)

We are so happy kasi I know Antonio enjoyed the show. Kahit pagod na pagod kami (puros party and dinner the whole week), okay na rin. Once in a lifetime naman to and super discounted pa! =D

Grabe talaga si Lord. Unang araw pa lang may surprise na! =) Kaya naman I know 2012 will be a very good year for all of us!
