Weekend Happenings

10 / 16 / 17

It’s been awhile since I made updates of our weekend happenings. I filed a 2 days PTO (Paid Time Off) at work in two separate days last week, that was Tuesday and then Friday. Last Friday, I was able to go to a salon nearby our house to have my long overdue pedicure done. Haha!

Ian and I went to buy a new conditioner for our room. We have replaced our old Koppel 2 HP with an LG 1 HP Aircon. Our old one is really energy consuming and is costing too much off our budget. So we’ll see how it goes for the brand new one.

After lunch, we went to Manila to do some errand and we were stranded due to the heavy rains at around 5 pm. We were able to reach home at around 8 in the evening. We had our lunch to one of Binondo’s best fastfood restaurant Wai Ying, too bad as we weren’t able to take a snap of the foods that we ordered as Ian phone’s battery is already drained. I had milk tea and Rice Toppings (Minced Beef) Ian had pork something that I forgot and black gulaman. We also ordered chicken feet, Hakaw and Bean curd roll which tastes like kikiam for me. Haha!

Saturday, off we went to Megamall to meet a client and I was able to buy a new lipstick and new wireless mouse for our notebook and blanket and towel.

Sunday was spent at home while I do the laundry and Ian takes charge to look after the ongoing renovations for Gabby’s room. Can’t wait to see the outcome as we have already spent quite a lot of our budget for it. I am planning to put up a little office corner there. So we really need o save up again. That’s it for now… time to sleep!

Weekend Happenings: Attended a Birthday Party

9 / 30 / 13

I was up early last Saturday to do the laundry, good thing that Mr. Sun was all up to until the afternoon. So when it rained around 3 p.m. our clothes-line were already empty. I also did the ironing early evening. I manage to finish all the household chores that day because I don’t want to get caught up with unfinished chores when we attend the party the next day.

Come Sunday, we went to the Marketplace around 9 in the morning (that’s the name of the mall) to buy the little girl a nice outfit to wear ~~some of her dress doesn’t fit her anymore~~. We were at the party around four ‘o clock in the afternoon. It’s a Jollibee kidde party. Basti, the one year old celebrant was in his Superman costume. It was a fun Justice League themed party. Kids had a blast. WIll share the party pics in my upcoming posts.

La douce Crepe Treat

9 / 23 / 139 / 23 / 13

Ian and I went to Robinson’s Pioneer this morning to buy a gift and do some grocery shopping. We did look around for something to eat and saw this crêperie located at the upper level of the mall., this isn’t really new in the place but something new for us to try out.

A wide variety of choices

My choice

Mango Cheesecake Crepe (Price @ Php 120)

His

Banana Cheesecake Crepe ( Price @ Php 110)

You will be asked the syrup of your choice (I had mango and chocolate for him)

All curled up filled with Ice cream, fruit (mango, banana) a slice of cheesecake, whipped cream and topped with syrup.

This is how it looked like when served

We did enjoyed the sweetness of this dessert, tastes good and worthy of the Php 230 bill. We didn’t opt to buy for their flavored drinks and only had water. We even actually had siomai with spicy sauce on the side. Haha! We would try out their flavored drinks on our next visit.

Weekend Delight

8 / 31 / 13

Finally, the weekend is here! As always, I do look forward to Saturdays and Sundays where I don’t have to go to the office. If there’s one thing that I like with my work schedule, that is only having to deal with the five day work schedule from Monday to Friday. I used to have a Saturday schedule in my previous work and I could say that it is really quite tiring. Considering that I have toddler then, I really have to adjust and it really is exhausting for me.

Imagine only having one day for rest and you really can’t actually call it a rest day because you have to attend house chores- a pile of laundry, ironing and a lot of cleaning to do. But with my daily activities now, I don’t really think I have a rest day eh. I guess that goes with a lot of fellow moms out there. You are on duty 27/7 🙂

I’ll be meeting up some friends later today, friends that I met “online” a few years back and we’ve been seeing each other every once in awhile whenever Tere would flew from Davao. A great break from the daily monotony of a mom’s schedule. I am pretty sure that there’s a lot of catching up to do. DH suggested that I give them something special on our meet up. You see, DH is more sweet than I am. Haha!

Long Weekend

8 / 25 / 13

We are currently on a vacation mode until tomorrow, Monday (August 26) in Lieu of the National Heroes Day Holiday. Yesterday, I was able to enjoy laundry-ing our clothes when Mr. Sun finally showed up brightly until late afternoon.

But it rained hard again last night and I thought of another horrible flood, just like what happened last week that led to suspension of classes due to monsoon rain enhanced by Typhoon Maring for about 3 days.

A 4 days total of no classes which includes the Ninoy Aquino Day last Wednesday (August 21). Classes resumed last Friday in our place, Tuesday next week for other areas in the Metro.

The little boy got a terrible colds last Wednesday, he was stuck on the bed the whole day. We made him this:

Fresh Dalandan

Dalandan Water!

Aside from cough and colds medications, this really worked well for him. He is up and active the very next day and were able to go to class last Friday! 🙂

Hooray for a sun shiny Sunday morning today! continuous rain makes me really feel gloomy. I hope it goes for the rest of the day and until next week as I am really looking forward to a meet up with blogger friends.
