Mom’s birthday
Guest post written by Catherine Meyers
Most of the time I wait until the last minute to pick out gifts for my mom’s birthday. She always seems grateful and happy about whatever given present I get her, whether it’s a sweater or a random bestseller that I pick up from a display in a chain book [...]
Day 6: Family Portraits
Today we had our family portraits taken by Ging Lorenzo at the UP theater and Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife. My dad drove us there since hubby can’t drive yet, it was an interesting drive going to UP. We’re all not familiar with QC so we even with directions from Ms. Ging we still got [...]
Family Talk
Family chat over dinner is pretty common in our house and one of the topics we’ve discussed with my parents is about life insurance among other things. The little girl wanted nothing to do with this of course (lol) and she’s more interested in playing than sitting and talking with grown ups about grown up [...]
The food I’ve missed
I so love eating all the food I’ve missed here in Manila, I feel like I should indulge now because there won’t be any of these when we get back in SG. I’m telling my husband that I might need thermogenic fat burner when we get back so I could lose all the pounds I’ve [...]
Day 5: Iyah with cousins
Today my parents dropped us off at SM Southmall so we could spend a day with hubby’s side of the family. Good thing it wasn’t traffic though we were still late for the mass. Anyway after the mass we met my MIL, SIL and her kids, her youngest was also a girl only seven months [...]
Pampering myself
Oh how I missed pampering myself. I know I get pamper myself with a facial and a mani/pedi in SG but it is so much cheaper here in Manila that I don’t feel guilty for indulging myself with several treatments. There are natural acne treatment but it feels great to have a nice facial done [...]
Gotta enjoy eating
I know coming home for vacation there will be a lot of gatherings and there will be lots of great food that would be too tempting to resist. We’ve only been here six days and oh boy I feel like I will be needing to read different diet pill reviews when we get back to [...]
Day 4: Papa’s 50th birthday celebration
We all went home for this special celebration. So that Saturday was all about the small party with family and friends. Since it was a dinner party we went to the mall for a little shopping that afternoon. I picked up Iyah’s dress and accessories and was able to shop a little for the husband [...]
Good morning sunshine
I know there’s no time difference between Manila and SG but we find ourselves adjusting to time our first morning in Manila. You see the sun rises a it earlier in Manila than in SG. So our first morning I woke to the sunlight peeking through the windows thinking it was 9:00am or something I [...]
Going places
It’s nice that we have a car to use while we’re here on vacation. I don’t mind commuting but it’s so much easier to go from one place to another with a toddler when you have our own vehicle. We don’t have to worry about motorhome repairs or other repairs for that matter since my [...]
