Ardy's day out: Glorietta Easter Egg hunt

We went to Glorietta last Easter Sunday to participate in the easter egg hunt but sadly he's still too young to join so I just let him play around with the other kids. Our day was never wasted at all because we received goody bags as a treat. Thank you to all the sponsors and we'll look forward to the next Easter.

Til next year!

Stunning Tagaytay City

Our first destination for this year is Tagaytay! Finally, we reaped the fruit of our almost everyday after shift overtime at work. Tagaytay is a very popular city among those who want to escape the busy Manila.

We headed first to Pink Sisters. As you can see on the sign below is it a place of prayer so make sure to wear decent clothes.

Even if we're ahead of our schedule, there are already a lot of people when we arrived in the picnic grove area. Then there's the stunning volcano and the Taal Lake that you can see from above the picnic grounds. Other activities you can try includes zipline and horse back riding.

at Pink Sisters: pls read the signs

super tasty bulalo at Leslies

When in Tagaytay, don't forget to drop by at Leslies. This resto serves many mouth watering dishes especially the bulalo.

Places of My Year 2012

After considering many of the notable places I've been in the year 2012, finally have my list. Thank you 2012 and more places to see in 2013!

Ayala Avenue, Makati City-dubbed as the Wall St. of the Philippines. My everyday destination.

Pateros, Metro Manila-was looking for a new place to start a new phase and I found it here in Pateros. Thank you to the Santos family for all the help.

one of the symbols you will see along the streets in Pateros-the Alfombras

Floridablanca, Pampanga- when Ardy had a short stay at my aunt's house, the greens and the bus ride to Pampanga became my stress reliever after long days from work.

Market Market Mall, Taguig City- our new favorite destination during days off from work or when we get bored at home. Just one jeepney ride and there you go...sure for more days to spend in Market, Market this year.

'Til next year guys! positive and new hope for the new year;)

Ardy's day out: Manila Ocean Park

Glad was able to bring Ardy to Manila Ocean Park before the year 2012 ended. Hope to see more places with my son in 2013. Thanks to the Clacio family who were with us during the said visit. Ardy enjoyed the time out! Here's wishing for more and more kiddie adventures to come.

My Howardy turns 1

I'm one of the luckiest when I got pregnant because I never had a share of nausea or vomiting in the morning like what other pregnant women experience during the first trimester. And for the first time my blood pressure is normal when I used to be always anemic.

But I felt something different that morning, the 6th of December. I was sure then that I'm going to give birth very soon. The contractions became more painful when I was already admitted at 10pm on the same day. At exactly 5:41am of December 7, after only a few hours of labor (lucky again), I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, 8.88 lbs (triple luck as they say) through normal delivery.

I feel so blessed every time I look into my baby's innocent eyes and I'm still amazed every day as to how this little human being lived inside me for 9 months.

Ardy's birth day is not just a celebration but for me it is a day of special thanksgiving.

Happy birthday my lil lad! I will always be here for you and I'm excited to see you grow. But please don't grow up too fast so I can still smooch your armpit without you getting annoyed.  Love you very much with all my heart.
