October 7

The little girl and I went to the mall. We got a notice that there will be some power interruption in the afternoon so I opted for us to go somewhere instead of staying at home with no a/c in the afternoon.

The three of us went to the mall to shop for the little girl’s birthday. It was a great family day and we were out for the most part of the day. We went to Vivo City and had lunch at Superdog, hubby was in the mood for some good ‘ol fashion hotdog so it was the best option. After lunch we went to shop. I went to several boutiques first, trying to find something I like. The first agenda was to find jeans and sneakers for the little girl. I already have a custom made tee for her so we need something to match that. Luckily there’s a wing at Vivo City for baby/toddlers so I had choices. I ended up getting a super cute pair of jeans from Pumpkin Patch and I was very happy with it. Next was the sneakers, I had several options for this too.

And we went to several stores as well. Hubby wanted to get her the pink sneakers we saw at Converse but I told him he should look around first. It was a good decision because when we went to Addidas I found the perfect sneakers for the little girl. Can this be more girly? It is really pretty and it’s pink of course. The little girl didn’t mind trying on different sizes, I guess she knew it was for her to she happily obliged as the sales person put on the sneakers in her little feet. Oh and we almost bought a small football too, the little girl wouldn’t let go of it and was kicking it all over the place…luckily when she saw the paper bag with her new sneakers in it she took it from me and we left the store.

All the shopping made us a bit tired so we went to Starbucks for coffee. The branch on the first floor was full, full of people who were done with their coffee but using the place to talk and use the internet (it bothered me because other customers like us don’t have a place to sit). Anyway we went to the other branch on the second floor and we found ourselves some seats. I ordered us grande Mocha and Chocolate frap and Bannarama muffins. The little girl always call the whipped cream “ice cream” and would ask us for a taste. I just gave her the muffin and she was all happy. She was well behaved and she sat on her chair the whole time. That was so nice for me, having coffee with the husband and the little girl contented with her snacks.

After our short break we went back shopping again. This time we went to Toys R’ Us and get some party stuff for the little girl’s real party. I wasn’t expecting to find a whole section for hallowwen costumes, we don’t celebrate halloween here so it was a surprise. There were lot os teenagers messing around and wearing the hats and wigs to take pictures, it was a little annoying and it made me feel so old that I don’t find that funny anymore (lol). I ended up getting a cheap costume for the little girl, there wasn’t much choices for her size though.

More shopping followed but this time for hubby and me. I got him a new pair of sneakers and a shirt while I got several tops for myself. Esprit and Converse were our stores of choice. I didn’t find anything I like at Gap, even at the kids section which is surprising. I always get something from the kids section but this time I got nothing. Probably because I was going to order more dresses for her online next week. Anyway after all the shopping it was time for dinner so we had dinner at Subway. We got our sandwiches and Iyah had rice and chicken (I got from the nearby foodcourt). She got a cookie afterwards though. She won’t stop saying “cookie” so I gave her a piece and she kept asking for more. This is her face after eating a cookie.

So that was our week. I really hope I could do this weekly, I’m kicking myself for nothing getting three weeks worth of post. I have things I wanted to post before I forget about it.
