Random Thoughts

We had a lot of free time yesterday and since my little girl is done with her exams, we decided to watch Xmen, First Class in DVD.

It was definitely a nice movie. Surprisingly, the little girls enjoyed watching too. Too bad we didn't watch it in the movie house. Here are more details of the movie:

In 1962, the United States government enlists the help of Mutants with superhuman abilities to stop a malicious dictator who is determined to start world war III.

Director: Matthew Vaughn
Writers: Ashley Miller (screenplay), Zack Stentz (screenplay)
Stars: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend that you watch it too!

This is going to be a fun activity for the kids!

The 6th Christmas Toy Fair will be at Megatrade Hall 1, SM Megamall, from 10:00am to 9:00pm, December 16 to 18, 2011. They will be giving away raffle prizes too! This is perfect to include in our Holiday activities.

I can't believe it's Wednesday again! Time is flying by so fast these days! I hope you are having fun because I am!

Happiness is...

Nice song, right? Will definitely share it to the little girls later! (*wink*)

I honestly fell in love with Toastbox in Singapore when we were there last year. So I prayed hard that they open here in Manila. Little did I know that they will open early this year. Yebah! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to visit their first branch in Greenbelt. When I saw their branch in The Fort, I noted that I would visit this branch one of these days.

So one holiday, when Hubby and I went to St. Luke's Global, we decided to finally try Toastbox. WE wanted to try everything! You see, we didn't know when we will have an opportunity again so we ordered a LOT!

Coffee...


Kaya Toast...


and rice meals...


Hubby had fried chicken while I had the Hainanese Chicken. We were sooo full after. We didn't have lunch anymore!

How did I find their food? Well, I still miss the thinly sliced kaya toast from Singapore. It wasn't bad though, I would prefer the one in Singapore but, it satisfies your kaya toast craving. Well, for a few days, that is!

How I wish I could re-create the dishes at home though. I better start checking out the Online Colleges that can be found here, and have
culinary classes. This is what you need to check out when you want to learn how to cook great food like this. I will find time and see how it goes.

Toastbox is located at Greenbelt, The Fort and Trinoma!

I saw this video over the weekend and my oh my, it made me cry to buckets!

I LOVE coca-cola's happiness project. Kudos to you and more power!

Obviously, we loved Army Navy so much that after almost a month, we went back to have dinner again.

The burgers, fries and iced tea were the give away. The kids were in love with Army Navy too!

Now we're thinking when to go back again. YES, we're officially hooked!

And all I can say is that we ♥ Army Navy and we ♥ to eat!

We were supposed to watch the symphony of lights and sound last week but we ended up eating a late dinner so we didn't make it to the last show at 9PM. Last Wednesday, almost all of us were free so we took the opportunity and went to Ayala Triangle Gardens.

I didn't know what to expect to be honest. I haven't heard about this show until Wednesday. That's why when we saw the show, we were mesmerized, especially the kids.

The Symphony of Lights and Sounds is an impressive display of Christmas lights that blink in harmony with famous Christmas songs. It happens in Ayala Triangle Gardens every year.

It was definitely worth your time. I just would like to warn you to prepare since there are so many people there. Take care of your belongings and make sure that your kids are safe.

Have fun!
