SM's Play N Ride

We went to SM Southmall last Tuesday, February 16, 2016. This is because we promised Johann that we'll let him play in Play N Ride.

But first, lemme show you my #Nyelfie and #MOTD (or Makeup of the Day)! Hahaha!

The outfit above was my first option but I had to change to a simpler one. Hehe.

With my bebe.

Funny face daw cya.

Entrance is Php250 I think? Well, hindi ko naconfirm yan kay John. Ninang and I had to do some errands pa kasi sa BDO so nauna ang mag-ama ko. Anyway, for the parent or guardian, the entrance is Php50. I had to pay also another Php50 kasi I wanted to take pictures while Johann's playing. Too bad lang 'coz there were only three of them playing inside. 2 girls pa yun. So John, Johann and I played nalang. Kami ata ang nag-enjoy. Ang saya naman kasi talagang mag-slide sa gigantic slide nila don. Hehe.

See? I toldya! Ang saya magslide jan!

After 1 hour, we had our dinner in one of our Go to Resto kapag walang makapagdecide kung saan kakain, Savory. We had our usual order.

Fish and Tofu in Chili Garlic, Miki Bihon Binondo, Shanghai Rolls and Lechon Macau

Fish and Tofu in Chili Garlic. Fish was crispy! Yum!

Miki Bihon Binondo, our favorite!

Lumpiang Shanghai or Shanghai Rolls

and ofcourse, Lechon Macau!

Never really checked how much. Pag ganyang usapan, I leave it to John na. Haha! If I remember it correctly, he paid around 1k din. Madami naman kami na-take-out for mommy eh so okay nadin.

We had fun naman. Off kasi ni hubby John kaya family date muna kami niyan and buti nagenjoy naman si Johann. :)

New Haircut! :)

Summer is here! I can feel it na sobra! Ang inet palagi! Malamang niyan mataas na naman ang kuryente this month and next month. Oh well. 

If you have read some of my previous posts regarding my little boy, Johann, makikita nyo sa ibang pics nya na mahaba hair nya. Well, it is his papa's choice. John wants Johann to have slight long hair 'coz he looked cute. 

Playing with the mattress with messy hair!

Haha! Mukhang yagit! 

However, since you can really feel the heat of summer, we decided to have his hair cut short. Plan sana is mohawk cut. Well, it is mohawk style naman, bagsak lang talaga hair ni Johann plus, I don't want to put gel on his hair yet, kaya hindi nakapatayo yung middle portion ng hair/head nya. Masyado pa siyang baby for gel. 

Here's how he looks now:

Mas naging mukhang pasaway. Haha!

Will have better photos next time. Hindi masyado halata or kita sa pic. Hehe. Parang hindi halatang mohawk ano? It's okay, hmmm.. he looked, pasaway and he is really pasaway, pero it's summer, gusto ko mapreskuhan si Johann. Hehe. Look at that smile! Smile na may masamang balak. Haha. Cute!

Anyhoooo.. How are you handling the heat of summer? Swimming na tayoooo! :)

Bumper to Bumper Traffic!

I just finished cleaning the room. Opo, gabi na, nagligpit pako. I want to show you our everyday scenario at home.

Gigising ako, maglilinis and lampaso ng kaunti. Will arrange Johann's toys. When he wakes up, maya maya eto na po ang kalalabasan ng mga niligpit ko....

Halo-halong toys of Johann. Wala bang ube at leche flan jan??

Pero these past few days, napapansin ko, he's into cars. It's so aliw lang 'coz he doesn't just play with them na tipong "broom! broom!" or paaandarin lang. Most of the time he would line them up just like the photo below.

Take note friends, he knows where the front side is. If you'd look closely, makikita nyo na nakapila yung cars na parang traffic lang. Plus all facing one direction. Walang naiiba or naka-wrong way jan. Hehe! If I would remove one car nga jan and then face the wrong way, he would react na parang "no mommy, that's not the right way, okay?" 

bam-bam daw. meaning, bangga!

before sleeping..

bumper to bumper traffic!!!

Last week, I bought him 2 new wheels. This is his recent favorite. Truck daw.

Yesterday, nagulat ako, haha! I saw him arranging his cars this way naman. Not bam bam na daw. Meaning, hindi daw sila bangga. 

ilang lane ba meron yang hi-way na yan?? hehe.

BTW, we seldom buy him toys na. Andami na kasi sa bahay talaga. I got aliw lang last week since he has been into toy cars and lining them up kaya I thought of buying him 2 new. But.. but.. I don't buy him expensive ones. As much as possible, medyo magandang quality pero not so mahalia. You can not really see lang sa photo but some of his cars there, wala nang mga gulong.. Hehe. Pag mahal kasi masyado then masisira na katulad ng ganon, nakakapanghinayang. Atleast if medyo cheap, ok lang. Daba? We usually invest on nice clothes and foot wear. Kasi tumatagal talaga. Pwede pa sa next baby. Unlike toys, usually madali nasisira. :)

Early Bird!

Mabuti na ang late kay sa absent!! Yez! I am an early bird pa sa lagay na ito!

S & R Membership Shopping had their early bird sale that started last week pa. Some products marked down already as early as last week, as preparation to the yearly March Member's Treat. S&R's Member's Treat will start tomorrow, March 13, 2013 and it will be up to March 17, 2013.

Since I really don't have enough patience on the idea, that we'll be shopping on the sale day itself without having a run through on the stuff we need to buy, we went na kanina sa early bird sale nila. Ayoko kasi mamili talaga nang marami na marami na ding tao sobra. Knowing S&R, dinudumog talaga nang tao. So kanina, we bought na some items na priority namin bilhin that are already on sale. Baka mag part 2 nalang bukas! Hehe.

I'll be sharing the stuff we bought later after this post. Will take photos! :)

Potty Training

Yez! It is already midnight, and I am talking about potty training. Well, in my boy's age, he is suppose to be telling us, adults, already whether he is going to pee or poo. I am actually having a hard time in doing so because, everytime we talk to him about that, may be at the back of his mind, he thinks we are just joking or playing with him.

We always tell or ask Johann: "Baby, tell mama or papa if you're going to poopoo okay?" or "Are you going to weewee?" That's our scenario everyday. If we remove his diapers, maya maya, naghahabulan na kami 'coz Johann peed somewhere in the house, even pooped! He would tell us palagi, pero after he does something na. Lalapit yan sakin, "Mama, weewee." or "Mama, poopoo." Yun pala, tapos na! ehehe.

We didn't want to force him to do so kasi syempre, baka ma-pressure. Lalong hindi na magsabi. He would pee naman on the toilet every night before sleeping eh. Pero poo, hindi talaga.

However, earlier, before sleeping, he told me repeatedly, "Mama, poopoo baby." At first, I thought he was bluffing. He seldoms do that to us kasi. But, it seemed to me na parang seryoso ata tong baby ko. So I went with him sa cr and made alalay to him on the toilet bowl.

It took us around 10-15 minutes before he finally and successfully did it. Hehe. Yes, it was a success for me as a parent and also for him.

I just hope he continues telling us padin whether he is going to pee or poo. Baka one time big time lang ngayon eh. Hehe.

Great Finds 1!

I am a sucker for home organizing stuff. Post its, notepads, utility boxes, boxes with dividers, baskets etc. Since our house is so cluttered, I really need those! Hehe. And did I mention, my mind is cluttered too? Haha! That's why may post its and notepads.. I love to list my thoughts! :D

Believe it or not, I can be soooo organized at times, pero pag nagmamadali, I tend to put things anywhere nalang. However, may cycle cya, once I notice that it is so messy already, back to linis, ligpit and organize na.

So anyway, I passed by Daiso Japan Home Center in ATC last Monday. Here are the things I bought:

Toothbrush holder with cup

see? mga pang organize ng kung anik-anik.

May, my bestfriend, bought this liquid soap. I got inggit, I bought two, to try. Hehe.
Mabango cya infairness and soft sa skin.

Handy Medicine Organizer for me. John already has his, ako naman.

Rack with stand. 

Basket for whatevers

Those are really cheap! Great finds too! 

Q: What are your recent loots/finds?

     Would you prefer the cheap ones or the expensive ones? 

Fishy Fishy

One of the few words Johann actually said first is "fish". We usually have ulam on the dining table na fish. Since it is a one syllable word, madali nya itong nabigkas noon. Now, it's not only ulam for him but a pet.

Well, John asked his family if we can have their aquarium installed in our house. They are not using it anymore kasi, so he "arbor-ed" it. It's like a 40-48 gallon tank. It's really big, not to mention heavy.

I am having second thoughts on that issue because, it's so masikip na outside, terrace area. However, he insisted. I don't want to argue anymore so I agreed nalang din, but there's a catch. He has to clean the terrace plus the aquarium always! Hehehe..

So now, we have a school of fish inside the tank. Shubunkin and Angelfish. I am still researching on how to take good care of these fishy fishy. It's not easy pala to have a fish. Two already died.

It is actually breaking my heart to see na nabawasan ng dalawa yung mga isda. Plus, the tank is so big that it makes it more depressing to see a small number of fish swimming. But, I just realized how calming it is to watch them swimming in the tank. Stress reliever ba.

Nevertheless, paninindigan na namin ito. Will ask John to buy more fish para mas masaya and mas maganda tignan. Hihi. The only thing is, Johann is always excited to see the fish that he taps and kisses the tank. Nagugulat yung mga isda eh. Hehe..

Question: Do you have pets at home?
                How do you take good care of them?

Kung Hei Fat Choi

Goodbye year of the Dragon! Hello Water Snake! :)

Source

If I am not mistaken, Snakes are in conflict with Tigers. I am a Fire Tiger. Hmmm.. According to a prediction for people in the year of the Tiger, this year won't go smooth for us. So better expect the unexpected. 2013 will be a poor year for us "daw".

But heck the kamalasan. Even if the prediction is negative, I better try to wake up everyday positively, end the day with a smile inspite of whatever will happen.

The nega energy will just attract more bad vibes that will make a day in my 2013 not so good. Ayoko maging domino effect ito na halos buong taon e negative.

Mantra for this year, Wake up positive. Sleep with a smile. Ignore all negative vibes. Be patient. Loosen up but don't crack.

Goodluck! Hehe.

Again, Happy Chinese New Year everyone! :)



Now... I want some tikoy!! #cravings :)
