Alex' Birthday Pictures by Ken Go at Iba Pa...

I just would like to share the "official" photos of Alex' birthday party by Ken Go here. Enjoy! :)

..:..


I haven't posted in awhile (probably a week). It's been a busy week and not to mention very HOT too! Whew!

We will be transferring to our home in a month (or more) so Hubby and I are preparing some stuff. On weekends we'd just stay at home (particularly in the room) with Alex, turned on the aircon and try to sleep the whole day! Of course we weren't able to do it since Alex just wants to go out (of the room) and explore! I guess she's in the stage that she doesn't want to be carried anymore (if she's not sleepy). She just knows now that she can walk on her own and well she thought that she could do anything (?). Haaaay, I just can't imagine when she turns 2. Whew!

Hope everyone's doing great and having fun this SUMMER! And speaking of summer, here's my March LO that proves that summer is here! Thanks for looking! :D

How Big is your Small?

Have you ever had your most embarrassing moments? Well, last night was one of mine. LOL!

Hubby, Alex, and I went out because it was way too hot in the house! So we decided to go to The Fort City Center and look for a nice place to just hang out. We decided to go to Coffee Bean. When we were ordering, here was our conversation:

Me: I'm gonna have a Chai Tea.
Barista: What size Ma'am?
Me: Small...uhmmmm...Medium....uhmmm, wait, How big is your small?
Hubby: What!?! How big is your small!?!?! Hahahaha!

LOL!!! Surprisingly, the barista didn't even dare to laugh even if Hubby and I were laughing! LOL!! Anyway, I was supposed to ask "Gaano ba ka-laki ang small nyo!?". Funny huh?

Another embarrassing moment happened December, 2004 (i still can't forget this because my family would still tease me!). My family and I went to Pancake House, Tagaytay for lunch to celebrate Christmas.

Me: I'm gonna have steak.
Waiter: How would like your steak Ma'am?
Me: uhmmmm, Medium Well-done
Everybody: Bwahahahahahahhhahahahahah!

LOL! :D Well, I guess all of us have this kind of moments right? What is your most embarrassing moment? I would love to hear it! (*wink*)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everybody! This is the time of the year that is worth celebrating because it's the time that God affirms how much HE loves us.

.:.


I took a few days off (Wed - Fri) this Holy Week and spent it in Bicol. All the while I was thinking of REST, REST, and REST, but, boy, I was wrong! We literally drove around Sorsogon and Legazpi and were soo tired after, but we definitely had a wonderful time!

Here are the places that we've been to, that you may want to check out too:
  • Cagsaua Ruins - well, this is my third time here. I posted some pictures of this place too. Kind of depressing here since the all of the houses surrounding this place were wiped out by the typhoon.


    A little cloudy here
  • CWC (CamSur Watersports Complex) - do you want to try wakeboarding? Oh, this is definitely the place! Cheap pa. :)


    Wakeboarding anyone?

  • Butanding Encounter at Donsol - I thought the boat was a little expensive, but, when we got to encounter a butanding (whale shark), wow, it was definitely worth it pala! Butandings were huge! I screamed when I first saw it. We weren't able to take a picture of it (while in the water) since our camera (which is supposedly "water-proof" didn't turn on). Haaaay.


    A Butanding!

  • Rizal Beach at Irosin, Sorsogon - Nothing special here. But better than what we have in Bacon. Oh, we found out that Alex hates the sand. :(


    Rizal Beach
  • Bulusan Lake - it's an hour away from Rizal Beach. Nice place for trekking and kayak.

    Bulusan Lake
  • Sanbinon Hot and Cold Springs - This place was really crowded! It was as if, all the people from Sorsogon were here! LOL!
  • Satellite Market - for shopping native bags and stuff, this place is highly recommended! We went here twice! LOL!

    Native Bags anyone?
  • DJC Halo-halo - located in front of the Pacific Mall. Oh, the best Halo-halo I've ever tasted!
  • Gasthof - Our fave resto in Boracay is now in Daraga. I love their Baby Back Ribs!
  • Daraga Church - located on top of a mountain, when you get here, you'll see the whole Legazpi. Sayang, we got here around 7pm already so we weren't able to take some pictures.

Well, we've been to a lot of places considering that we only had 3 days (Wed, Thurs, and Sat). I've been to Bicol for the 3rd time already but, this is the only time that I get to discover and love the place more.
