Christmas Rush

The tree is up!

At first, I don’t want to put our tree this year because we are just renting in a small place and we don’t have enough space for it.

But we make a way because Christmas is not complete without a Christmas Tree.

We started shopping too, but I always end up eating first before going shopping.

My new book..

The spaghetti set for the whole team.

Our Christmas eve food

We had dinner also at Coffee Bean in SLEX when we went to Cavite to pick up some tshirt stocks. Ayan kain ng kain..

the traffic is really frustrating! 

New Bag

This is my new Marc Jacobs Sure Shot in Grey.

This is my only bag purchase this year and I am so proud of myself. ahhaha

I am saving for something else, so I need to set aside my craziness over bags.

So here it is…

I like this compact bag, it doesn’t hurt my arms and back while carrying it.

I got this from Singapore during the Friday Sale!

This is my favorite bag as of the moment specially if I am going around the mall and going out with kids.

Gareth’s School Christmas Party

As soon as we arrived in Manila, our schedules got crazy. I need to complete the gifts and of course, the parties are waiting

Dec. 6, the Christmas Party of Gareth and it was held in Kidzoona BGC, Taguig.

It was so traffic but still we arrived on time.

I need to wake up earlier than usual so as usual, I was so sleepy the whole time.

but Gareth had fun!

He always wanted to play inside Kidzoona but we don’t allow our kids to enter any playroom anymore.

This party was attended mostly by special children. So don’t expect it to be as organized but everyone had fun! I love seeing those innocent kids having fun and they were not even aware that it was a party. We parents were more excited.

The theme was Starwars, but Gareth wore the Shrek tshirt, his new favorite.

I think we stayed not more 3 hours and the party was over. The kids were started to get grumpy…

It was a fun party! I’m glad that Gareth enjoyed it as we do. I can’t wait for more activities like this in Gareth’s school.

Last Day in Singapore

On our last day in Singapore, my only itinerary was shopping!

I got few pieces for my whole year stock and gifts for my team and relatives.

I didn’t shop a lot because I need to save for the 13th month of my employees. ahhaha

Ganon palagi, kapag pasko hindi ako gumagastos ng para sa sarili ko kasi may kailangan akong unahin. I need to provide the 13th month, gifts for employees and of course for the gift giving to my team, family and relatives.

October pa lang nakaplano na lahat kung ano lang ang dapat gastusan, nakatabi na ang budget para sa employee. If only I can save their whole year salary para hindi na ako mag alala. But now, that we are growing, madaming adjustments talaga but I’m glad that this year medyo maganda ang naging takbo ng business and I am so thankful for it at dapat ibalik ko din sa employees ko ang blessings. They deserved it.

So we had our lunch and Gareth was expecting rice, kaya medyo disappointed sya. Walang rice don sa resto.

Xavier is so happy and behaved in this trip. I’m so proud of them. Pwede na silang isama sa mga travels namin.

Ang haba haba ng pila, my goodness umabot ako sa Friday Sale kaya ayan ang laki ng discounts ko pero yon nga lang tyaga ka sa pila.

S.E.A Aquarium

The moment we arrived in Singapore Airport, Xavier picked up the map and he saw the S.E.A. Aquarium, he kept on bugging me to visit it. It was not really included it in our itinerary but we happened to include it.

After our visit to the zoo, we went to the aquarium right away and surprisingly, it was not raining that day.

At the entrance

The shark greeted us!

The kids were amazed!

Xavier is so curious and he got interested with fishes after we visited the aquarium.

It was indeed a great tour and I’m glad that we include it in our tour. The kids learned a lot from this trip.

Singapore Zoo

It was raining but we still went to our Singapore Zoo Tour.

We had a quick tour around the place…

The boys were amazed when they saw the animals.

I wish to go back next time and I hope it’s not on rainy season so we can explore the place.

Universal Studios Part 2

The fun continues…

It was quite humid that day and kids were starting to get mad, so when they started crying, I bring them to colder place like a souvenir shops or we let them have rides. It cools them down…

But around 5pm they were so tired already and they want to go back to the hotel.

Right in time when Pinocchio show up then Gareth had a picture. Shrek didn’t show up that time so having Pinocchio is already enough for Gareth.

It is always fun travelling with Kids but they are so demanding, but we made it. We already know how to handle them unlike before when Xavier was 2 years old, we had a hard time controlling him in public places. This time our travel was calmer and I think we have to do it often.

Gareth loves to travel and I am so lucky that he can adapt to changes because some special kids can’t handle the airplane noise and the constant movement of people around them.

Maybe because when Gareth was still young, we already exposed him to travel.

Universal Studios Part 1

The reason we are here in Singapore is for Gareth’s birthday request.

He always like to visit Universal Studios because this is Shrek’s home. He loves Shrek, he watched all the movies of Shrek and even memorized the songs.

So when we were on our way to Universal Studios and he saw the castle from outside, he shouted Shrek!

So I know that this is going to be fun.. because he knows what he really wants.

As a mom, I’m happy when he requested this trip because Gareth seldom asks something. So whatever makes Gareth happy, I will definitely give it to him.

We went to different rides and I took my vertigo meds first because I want to have fun too. I want to create more happy memories with the kids so I went with them in any activities they want.
