No Tricks, All Treats

As I mentioned in my previous post, DD had her first trick or treat at Fun Ranch last Saturday. Although it was sooooo HOT, she had fun fun fun!

Good thing she did not get sick after the event. She was wearing a furry costume yet the area was soooo hot, with no ventilation at all. It rained a few minutes before 2pm, so the program started 1 hour late. And since the area was not covered, everyone had to stay on both sides of the stage. It was actually a riot! Hahaha!

They also had games, but since my lil girl is too young for those, we stayed at Q Power Station at the 2nd floor. We played a few games until it was time for the distribution of loot bags. They started calling kids in ascending order from number 1, and since we're number 176, we still had enough time for the carousel ride. She was pointing at the carousel calling the horses. Hahaha!

To sum it all up, I think the best part for my lil girl was the loot bag filled with candies. She enjoyed running around Fun Ranch, looking for the next shop to visit, and fill her bag with candies! Hahaha! She's a certified sweet tooth, you know. :) Too bad, I was not able to take a shot of her loot bag, she didn't want to let go of it. Hahaha!

4 More Days To Go

before DD's first trick or treat. :) We registered for Fun Ranch's No Trick All Treats which will be held on Saturday, October 25. Since this will be her first time, I am very excited for her. She'll be wearing a costume! Hahaha!!!

My bro's girlfriend offered her niece's pink leopard costume which was used last year. And here's how she would look like:

DD wore it once and she looked soooo cute in it! Can't wait for the actual event! Hehehe!

However, I'm still thinking of getting her a hula (Hawaiian) costume - bikini top and grass skirt - since I know she'll melt while roaming around Tiendesitas. The place is soooo hot! Anyway, with the very limited time I have - leaving the house for work at 6:30AM and arriving home at 8:00PM - I wonder how I can drop by Divi to get a cheap costume. Hehehe :)

One Month To Go

At exactly one month from now, our lil girl will be TWO. Yay!!! I just wish she won't be a terrible two! Hahaha!!! Well, I know her so well. She's one nice and sweet lil girl. ;)

Anyway, we're not planning a party for her but we're sure to give her a blast on her special day. We originally plan to bring her to Enchanted Kingdom, but were held back by the thought that the rides are more enjoyable for the adults than the kids.

Next idea is Manila Ocean Park. I know she would love to be surrounded by swimming fishes and sharks. But I thought the price is not worth the entertainment awaiting. You'll tire your legs and feet from walking inside the large aquarium seeing only the sea creatures as they dance in the water for PHP450?! And that would take you less than 1 hour to finish the adventure.

Our last option is Star City. Everytime we pass by CCP/Roxas Blvd./Gil Puyat, as long as she sees the the wizard's large hat and the lights flashing outside the park, she would scream "Tartity!" And when you tell her you'll go out with her, she would say either "Eshem" for SM, "Jajijee" for Jollibee, or "Tartity" for Star City. So we thought that's the cheapest option that she'd enjoy. For just PHP300 for RAYC ticket and PHP60 for entrance fee, it's worth enjoying the place! Hahaha!

Look Ma, One Hand!

That's how I am right now.

Since the start of this month, hubby would drop me off the Recto station of LRT2 at around 6:30 to 6:45 in the morning. But yesterday was different. Right in front of the station gate is a U-turn slot. We always take a U-turn there so we can easily get to the gate. But yesterday, our S8 slipped, leaving us front flat on the floor. We were both covered with dirt since it drizzled earlier that morning, leaving the road wet and slippery. Hubby stood up immediately as he heard me wail with hurt. I was crying of my aching left arm. He stood the S8 up, then reached for me and accompanied me as we aboard the S8 again. Then, we went home.

Though we both know that we were hurt, I was the one who asked him to go home first so we can change clothes and take a rest for a while as we were both dizzy from the fall. We rested for a few minutes at home, changed shirts, then went to the UST hospital for my examination. He was hurt too, with bruises on his left cheek, lower lip, chin, left arm, left knee and left leg, but nothing major. Mine was the one he insisted to have checked. We went straight to the ER and was attended by the doctor. They asked me questions, had me x-rayed, asked hubby to buy an arm sling for me, and then let me wear them.

At first sight, no fracture can be found on my x-ray. But since I could not turn/twist my arm, the Ortho-Surgeon suggested to leave my x-ray so they can further examine as it is not compatible that I don't have any fracture yet I could not move my arm. Though he already told me that it looks like my arm was a bit dislocated as the bone went a bit through my radial joint, thus I am unable to move it. :(

We'll come back on Thursday for the x-ray results and the medical certificate, which costs 50 Pesos, that I requested. Then hopefully, my arm gets better by next week. However, the Ortho-Surgeon already advised to keep my arm sling worn for 2 weeks. :(

Baby Girl At The Casino

It was last Saturday night, October 11, when a baby girl was spotted inside the Casino Filipino in Parañaque. Too young to be playing poker or even the slot machine, but yes, she was INSIDE THE CASINO.

We were there for the Wanders show. That afternoon, a friend of mom called to tell that she got us 5 tickets to the Wanders show. So at night, off we went. The show was spectacular! At first, I was expecting of just the usual circus show, less the big elephants and lions. Hahaha! Well, I was wrong. It was a musical show showcasing the different talents of Chinese acrobats and classically-trained Russian dancers. The production as a whole was very great! Kids and adults alike enjoyed the show, even my 2-year old daughter!

Since cameras are not allowed inside, we were not able to capture a few scenes. Hence, I got these from other sites just to share with you:

Wanders is a spectacular musical extravaganza that combines the elements of theater, concert, circus and dance in one exciting show. It is a sentimental journey of two “wanderers” who are brought into different magnificent acts by a tourist guide.

We were so lucky to witness the show for free! :)

Handbag For Free

I've always been a fan of handbags - be it formal, casual, classy, and even diaper bags. I'm not actually brand conscious. I just want my bags to have enough compartments 'cause I don't want my stuff getting mixed up inside the bag (it could be a total mess!). I also want it to be stylish as I don't want to walk around bringing a grandma handbag. Hehehe...

Handbag Planet is an angel to all handbag lovers. Their bags are just my type. Aside from the great styles, I think the sizes are also good - not too big and not too small. They're having a contest wherein you can win a handbag every hour. They're having this before their launch on October 15, and that's only 5 days away. So hurry, sign up now so you can join their raffle. :)

Another Year To Celebrate

Our lil princess is already 22 months and 2 weeks old. That means, only less than 2 months til she celebrates her 2nd year. Being the smart, cheerful, and playful toddler that she is, I know she deserves a party this year. However, hubby and I were not able to prepare for that. So, we decided to give her a blast on her 3rd birthday.

For this year, we plan to let her enjoy her day either at Gymboree or at Enchanted Kingdom. I know, she cannot experience the rides yet, but she can experience the magic, as their tagline goes "The magic is here." Hahaha! Well, she enjoyed Star City so we're sure that she'll enjoy EK more.

Looking forward to giving her one of the best days she can have. :)

MIA

I know, I've been missing-in-action for a while. Well, days have been very busy for me, both at work and at home. Today is our boss' (team supervisor) last day with the company, so we've been settling things before she leaves. Also, we've been working on a long overdue project but everything's dependent on the vendor. Oh well, our big boss has given them a deadline already. They should finish it by October 20, otherwise, we'll return the equipment to them. And we're talking of millions here.

On another note, SIL had her first ultrasound last week. It was very nice to know that everyone's fine, she and especially the baby. We were very excited when we knew she's pregnant again, yet very worried as she is diabetic. So we never get tired of reminding her to take care of her health as the baby will be affected. So far, so good. Prayers are really very powerful. :)

As for our lil girl, she loves singing now! Hahaha! Your day won't end without hearing her sing her heart out. :D She loves Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Barney's I Love You Song, Old MacDonald Had A Farm, and a lot more. Though I haven't recorded her singing yet. That's my assignment for the weekend. :)

It's Friday and it's raining... I think it's our bed calling me. Hahaha! Unfortunately, I can't spend much time sleeping over the weekend, lotsa things to do. :)

You Are Totally Like Your Mom

You and your mom are practically clones. You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds. And while you get along well now, you probably fought when you were a teenager. You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you.
