Weekend Happenings

Hi everyone! How was your weekend? Our's (me and my family) was very tiring but fun. We did a lot of things and been to some places which I would want to share with you.

Saturday (July 20), Hubby and I went to the hospital to have some laboratory exam done. My in-laws took the kids with them to Manila as they had to deal with some business matters. Hubby and I finished around 1pm and left the hospital right away. But we were so hungry that we stopped by at Baclaran to have our lunch. We decided to eat at Chowking since I was craving for the Naicha(Milk Tea) and I would also want to try the Golden Chinese Pork. But when we were at the counter already my husband asked if I wanted to order what we usually order and I said yes, and forgot about the Golden Chinese Pork lol.
This may be weird to some, but YES! We love Chowking's Wanton Mami + the Chaofan! This is what we usually order, however I wonder why hubby didn't order the one with Siomai.
And of course the Naicha!

Oh by the way, would like to squeeze in some outfit of the day for Saturday :)

Me and hubby inside the elevator of the building where we live

After we ate, he headed straight home to Manila where Athena baby's sleeping and Kuya Tantan is upstairs playing with the kids.

Later in the afternoon around 4 or 5 I guess, we (mom-in-law, sis-in-law, me and athena) went to Divisoria, it's just a few distance walk from home but we rode a "padyak" or sidecar. We only went to one shopping center the 168 Mall, supposed to buy curtain but ended up buying clothes for the kids. Anyway this is a place to shop especially if you are in a budget. After about 3 or 4 hours we then went home as we are already tired and hungry. We had dinner in this Chinese Restaurant in Manila which I forgot the name, the only thing I remember is that there's a black pig tied up in front (it doesn't stink though, it is well maintained) and according to my in laws they also had snake and other animals upstairs which i didn't get to see. After eating we then drove back home to Las Pinas. It was past 10 in the evening when we arrived so settled everything and put the kids to sleep. Then a refreshing bath for me, and I even got a leg massage from hubby. My leg aches from long periods of walk and standing.

By the way here's some of the stuff we bought:

Php50 each

except for this which we got for 430. Original Price 480

And me wearing the "pantulog" I bought for Php100 only

Sunday (July 21st), did the usual things, house chores, played with the kids and so on.

By the way here's some photos of them wearing the clothes we bought:

Then later that day we went to Las Pinas Bamboo Organ church to hear a mass. Had dinner at "Aling Lucy's" I guess this is my father in laws favorite place, this is the second time he took us here. Then before going home we grabbed some refreshment at Starbucks which I ordered the Green Tea White Chocolate Pudding one of their new beverage.

Oh here's some of our Sunday photos:

Pinky stripes :)

had to put a topper since were going to church

There you have it!

Celebrating our First!

Anniversary, it is of one the most celebrated occasions in the world and luckily J (husband) and I get to celebrate our first ever Wedding Anniversary last June 30, 2013. It wasn't the way we originally planned it, it was just simple but a very special one.

Originally we planned on seeing a movie, then a full course dinner bu the bay plus an hour luxurious yacht cruise along Manila Bay. Sounds so romantic right? I actually saw this on Metrodeal, from Php11,000 per head to Php770 great deal right? But as much as I want it, we didn't do a reservation as early as then, we were thinking about sudden turn of events. Which is a good thing because just few days before the 30th we found out that my in laws wont be able to look after the kids as they have some business to deal with. Plan A is out of the list, now for Plan B we just thought of taking the kids out with us.

By the way, I just have a quick question for all the ladies. DO you agree that Us, ladies are "hopeless reomantic"? Haha, naghahanap lang ng kakampi 'coz yes I am guilty as charged! So to prove that though I am not bragging about it I personally had some hopeless romantic DIY anniversary gift ideas for J. I actually thought this through few weeks ahead, but didn't get the chance to do it until a day before our anniversary. Yea cramming has been my thing since school days. lol

So here's what I did, I recorded a video of myself singing. No I am not a good singer but I can sing and the song of my choice I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE the message of the song is really good exactly what I am feeling. I was able to record several videos and just picked the best and uploaded it on my facebook page tagging J to it exactly 12MN. I actually uploaded 2 videos, a solo performance of yours truly and the other one with the kids as they woke up while i'm recording, I found it cute so decided to include it. Afterwards, I proceeded with the next DIY surprise for him, and ended up almost 3 in the morning. I was also expecting husband to arrive from work that time, but received a text message from him instead that he wont be able to go home right that moment 'coz it's raining so hard so I just went to bed and slept.

With barely 4 hours of sleep, I was awaken by J's arrival it was just past 6 in the morning. Although I was still sleepy I was delighted by what J brought home...A bouquet of red rose and chocolates, my husband knows me so well :) Syempre kilig naman ang lola mo :)What I appreciate the most was his effort, imagine it was raining and it was so early still he found a way to surprise me.

a photo I uploaded on instagram

He also saw my surprise and there was a moment of lambingan and exchanges of thank you's, then J went to sleep na. I wish I could to but the kids already up so i need to attend to them. J woke up almost 2 in the afternoon na and since it was still raining we just decided to have our late lunch delivered. We ordered the Big Barkada Meal A (good for 3 pax) from Greenwich, which incudes 1 Double Thick Hawaiian Overload Pizza, 3pcs Crispy Glazed Chicken, 3 Spaghetti Supreme and 3 regular softdrinks. The delivery was actually quick we didn't get to wait that long.

So that's how we celebrated our Anniversary, not as grand as what we planned it to be, but everything turned out so well. Simple, yet special, we didn't get to spend so much plus we are just in the comfort of our own home. How about you, how was your anniversary celebration mind sharing it? :)
