Hubby and I were supposed to go out on a date last Saturday but since we were out for 2 consecutive nights already, we decided to stay at home with the kids instead and started our tradition of movie night with wine.
I wish they announced this earlier...
MANILA, Philippines – Afternoon classes in the entire National Capital Region (NCR) have been suspended due to tropical depression “Juaning,” the Department of Education (DepEd) said Tuesday.
Dr. Elena Ruiz of the Department of Education - NCR said classes at all levels (pre-school, elementary and high school) in the region were suspended.
Ruiz also asked schools to dismiss morning classes before 12 noon.
Earlier this morning, the DepEd announced that all classes in the Bicol region and Lipa City, Batangas were suspended due to heavy rains and strong winds brought by tropical depression Juaning.
When my Dad arrived from the province, we planned on having dinner at Newport Mall since he hasn't seen that mall ever since it opened. My sister decided we have it at Johnny Chow.
You won't miss it for it's very unique exteriors. And especially for their chairs with photos like this:
I'm sure you've heard of the end of season sales for the past 2 weeks now. And, guess what? Mark's & Spencer's is having a further reduction sale!
I didn't have plans on watching Cirque du Soleil's Varekai. Not until I watched KAOS. Since we liked KAOS very much, I decided that we would definitely loved Varekai too.
Took a Shot of the Stage...
Hubby and I watched Varekai with my Dad and Sister. I was so happy we got really good seats.
Get the SM Advantage card and you'll get a 10% discount when buying Varekai tickets!
To the best Hubby and to the best Dada in the world, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
That's my initial reaction when I first saw this...
Skip Hop Bags, that is!
I've been eyeing these cute bags for weeks now. Ever since my friend shared the multiply site on where to order, I've been thinking of getting two for my girls. But I don't have the budget yet so maybe I can give these as Christmas gifts? Oh, we'll see about that!
Interested? Check out these multiply sites that offer Skip Hop Bags:

Everytime we go home to Bukidnon, our schedule and itinerary would always be tight. After all, it's the only time we get to bond with cousins and relatives, right? We were also timely since it was Jannah's advance birthday celebration too! The kids and I were ecstatic because we knew that they will play with their second cousins at the party.

Having a 5 year old and a 2 year old means only one thing - disorganized household! Toys are just everywhere around the house and the papers are all over. I couldn't think of ways on how to organized everything from crayons to pencils to handbags to puzzles. As much as I would ask my kids to "pack away" after playing, I still feel that the house is in chaos.
Until we finally came up with something. We decided to buy a sturday cabinet for the kids' mess alone. I wanted a couple of Slat Wall Fixtures which I saw at SiegelDisplay.com a couple of days ago.
Thanks to CashCash Pinoy vouchers, I was able to avail the NEO Day Spa's 72% OFF. For only P850 I got a Luxury Crystal Facial + a Customize Body Massage at luxury Neo Day Spa a couple of weeks ago.
It took him months before he was able to decide which one to get. He had to read reviews online and check who has the best rated palm pre. I would say the gadgets from TheSource.ca were all interesting. He found it hard to choose which one to get. Thanks to the online reviews and testimonials, he finally got a new phone.
He's been using his Samsung Omnia for almost 3 years now and I've been convincing him to get a new phone! He was adamant that he doesn't want to change his phone. But it's been showing signs that he needs to change ASAP. So finally when this came out, he was finally convinced that it's time to change.
Right after the beautiful wedding ceremony of Kevin and Kristine, we immediately went to Roadhouse Steakhouse in Valencia, Bukidnon for the reception.
Finally Married...
My Dad is here again! And that only means one thing - Food Trip! Every time my Dad comes home in Manila, we would always EAT out. We would explore different restaurants that sometimes, I had to get diet pill that works to get back to my old weight. I know it sounds exaggerated but believe, we really eat a LOT. Just like this weekend, my Dad arrived last Saturday and we met up to have dinner at Resorts World (will blog about more soon!) and then we had another sumptious lunch before watching VAREKAI yesterday (will also blog about it soon!). So there, I need something to drink to maintain my weight or else, my clothes particularly my pants would never fit again.
Inspite of it though, I'm thankful. I'm thankful for the food trip and the bonding time that we had over the weekend. It was a tiring yet fun-filled weekend for the whole family!
This is the reason why we came all the way from Manila to attend my cousin Kevin and Kristine's wedding at the Monastery of Transfiguration in Bukidnon. My girls were chosen as flower girls and I was so giddy with excitement since it was Andie's first time! The girls were having the time of their lives too!

I checked my calendar twice. I couldn't believed that it's already Thursday and I missed posting my Wednesday Happy Thoughts! WOW. Time really is flying by so fast! Here's my entry for this week. Better late than never!
