All About The Memories

My previous post was photo loaded I decided to make another post about Bakerzin…


I liked the cozy feel of the place. I take it wasn’t that popular because it wasn’t as crowded at the other restaurants nearby but that’s fine by me. We were able to chit chat while we waited for our food. I told Adel that I will need an elliptical after her week long vacation is over because we will be dining in a lot of restaurants and eating lots of yummy desserts. Hubby got the flazy pizza and Adel and I both got the Ham and Bacon Penne Pasta with Cream Sauce. All of us got pumpkin soup and chocolate cake for dessert. The food was good and the price was reasonable too.

I was suppose to go back home to see her but things didn’t go as planned to she came to visit us here instead. Either way I’m so happy to see her, it’s been two years since we last saw each other and Iyah was still a baby then.
She had an early morning flight so Iyah and I went to pick her up at the airport around 10am. As expected when Iyah saw her Ninang she got shy but she quickly warmed up to her.
We had lunch at home, chatted a little before heading out to officially start her SG vacation. Our first stop was Suntec City then followed by The Esplanade and Merlion Park. Before we headed to The Esplanade we dined at Bakerzin first since the little girl was asking for milk.


The place was nice, it wasn’t crowded and the food was reasonably priced. The pictures above were taken at the restaurant while we were waiting for our food.

These are some of the photos taken at The Esplanade and Merlion Walk.

When we are at Merlion Park we noticed that there were rehearsals going on for the upcoming National Day parade so we stayed a bit and watched.

I don’t really know (lol). Of course the answer to this depends on who you ask, people have different wants and needs so what I hold important for me might not mean much to another person. I talked to a friend a couple of weeks back and she told me that her husband’s idea of spending time with their kids is him being in the same room with them as he fiddles with his laptop and the kids playing on their own. I told her I’ve heard that before. To me just because a husband/father works a 9 to 5 job and brings home the income of the family doesn’t mean he’s a good father, a good provider maybe but a good father doesn’t just provide material things for his children. Giving your daughter or son a new toy is a lot less important than giving your daughter or son your time, and being on the same room with them doing something else is NOT spending time with them. I know how tiring a full time job can be to a person, I used to work too before I had my little girl so I know how that feels. I don’t think it’s an excuse though, tired or not there’s a little person who waited for you all day to arrive to show you his or her awesome drawing of the family…how do you think that person will feel if you tell her or him that you’re tired? Having quality time with your children to me is important for their well being. A child needs to feel that he or she is loved, that what she can do and what is happening to her matters. No amount of fancy toys can replace the much needed attention a child needs from his or her parents. I know of fathers who are addicted to their own hobbies and interests to the point that they don’t do anything else during their free time, I think that’s unacceptable. I don’t care if you are level 80 in Warcraft or their is a big battle going live in a minutes when your child needs something you get up that freaking chair and go get it. Nanay: Dede daw si bunso (yelling from the other room carrying the crying child which obviously stops her from getting the said dede). Tatay: Ikaw na may laban ako ngayon (Sige nga tama ba to?????). I guess to me a good father is someone who shares the responsibility of raising the children with his wife and not just pay the bills and considers himself free of the other responsibilities.

So if you are a father and your wife tells you to spend more time with your children they are not being such a nagging wife…that means you are to busy to realize you’re not there for them….and your children needs you. Even if you pay for everything they have, they still need “YOU.”

Happy Father’s to all the great fathers out there.

Babe, thank you for being such a loving dad to Iyah…she’s one lucky little girl to have you as her daddy. We love you so much.

To papa, my dad thanks for being a good provider for our family. We won’t be where we are today if not for your hardwork and love.

To daddy, I know you are watching us from heaven. I would like to thank you for raising a wonderful man. We never had a chance to spend more time to get to know each other but I know my husband is a lot like you in many ways.

These are some of the orchids at Mandai Orchid Gardens. The place was small compared to the Botanical Gardens and the selection of orchids are limited. It was still nice to visit the place, my mom loves orchids that why we took them there. The location was easy to find as well, you can miss the entrance and exit signs from the highway. There was a group that came earlier than us, from the looks of it they were practicing photography judging from the dslr each person carries. I think it’s nice, I could probably do that sometime but the problem is I’ll always have the little girl tagging along with me. She likes posing for the camera and she would like to be included in the photos (lol). I guess that’s a good thing too.
