a happy birthday
E and I celebrated our birthdays last week. Since my birthday fell on a holiday here, we decided to spend the day at the Jurong Bird Park. E surely had a grand time checking out all the birds. He especially had fun at the all-star bird show enjoying all the birds that were being showcased but really clapped and shouted when he saw the mascots. It was also a treat because I got selected as one of the volunteers to hold the ring where the bird will pass through. I think E wondered why I left my seat and them and what I was doing that Ichi was able to take a few pics.

My mother-in-law’s in town so last Sunday we decided to bring her to chinatown. She enjoyed going around the area and looking at the different items on offer at the various stalls and shops there. She even bought various muscle pain liniments to bring home and tea to boost your energy for hubby. Definitely the highlight would be the yummy dinner we had at the food street there. We ate laksa, noodles and dim sum. The dim sum was my favorite, it was really yummy. Looking forward to going back and eating there again, I think that would be when my mom comes for a visit in a couple of months.
I will post some pics later.
back from manila
We enjoyed every minute of our vacation in Manila, getting to see our families and catching up with some friends kahit na super singit na lang sa mga schedules. Our entire trip was mostly about the wedding as BIL & SIL asked us to help coordinate on the day, mas na-stress pa nga ako with their wedding than when I was planning mine :p. Kami ni Ton lang ata ang super harrased, hahaha. Anyways, everyone enjoyed the wedding and despite it not being that “organized”, our families we’re both happy with the whole celebration. E was super cute and pogi in his little barong and Ichi and I were really proud and happy that he walked the aisle, nagsusumpong nga nung una but when Ichi saw that he was looking at Karl (the ring bearer) walk, he put E down and E walked as well. It’s just a pity that we don’t have that many pictures as Ichi and I were both very busy at the wedding.
Movie time
I was deadset on watching some movies while back home (syempre chance ko ng makanood dahil the grandparents were more than willing to babysit) so I got my brother to take me to watch The Lake House starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, I watched the movie not only because I like Sandra but also because I loved the Korean movie, Il Mare which this movie is a remake of. Syempre we also made sure that we got to watch the highly anticipated Superman Returns which I also hope to catch again on IMAX.
E’s first carousel ride
Last June 24, after we picked up Ichi at the airport we went to the nearby SM City Clark and chanced upon a carousel in the middle of the mall. E was happily pointing at ride that we decided to let him try it. Here’s a pic of father and son on it.
HEAT
Ever since I read Lori’s post on HEAT (Edsa Shangri-la’s newest restaurant), I made sure that during our trip home we would try it out. So two Mondays ago off we went to Edsa Shang for a buffet lunch. I was pleasantly surprised that the place was almost full despite it being a Monday and lunch at that. The food was delicious, you will really want to try everything that they have to offer. The dessert bar was something that I was really looking forward to as I love sweets and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The buffet is definitely worth splurging on.
in a few hours
In a few hours, E and I will be flying back to Manila (Ichi will follow by weekend). It will be a few weeks of vacation for us plus attending my brother-in-law’s wedding where E will be a bible bearer. Can’t wait to catch up with our families and friends, for home-cooked meal, for movie dates and whatever else activity we can do during these two and a half weeks.
Manila here we come.Â
