Comeback Post: Our Holy Week 2012

May hangover pa ko ng long weekend but I'm officially back to work after a well rested week yesterday.

I hope everyone were able to reflect and spend quality time with their loved ones, just like what I did no wonder I was also on a blog hiatus for the past few days. :)

For most of us, the best part of the vacation is hitting the beach or any resort within our area and like majority of the peeps, we're one of them.Yun nga lang, this is the first summer that we're not complete after hubby's overseas work. Dati rati last week of March pa lang we already had a resort in mind. My boys love the water so much. We even had an out of town swimming a month before Christmas kung saan taglamig na pero gora pa din.haha! Allan is a Pisces while Xian naman is Aries, although a Fire element he still love the water so much. Ako keri lang ang tubig, Virgo eh.

This time, no family picture for Summer of 2012 :( di bale, babawi kami sa December,promise! ganyang style din,dapat nakalublob sa swimming pool.lol.

So here's how we spent the precious 5 days in a couple of pics:

Maundy Thursday

At first, I thought pass muna kami ni Xian sa swimming this year. I'm just planning of buying him a bigger inflatable swimming pool compare to what he's been using last year . But my family had other plans for my sister's birthday so join na din kami ni bagets. We had our family swimming at La Leona Resort near our hometown. By the way,belated happy birthday sa pinakamabait kong sister next to me of course (haha!) -- my 4th sister Apple!  My little family - me, kuya Allan and Xian kulit loves you so much.

Xian and the Birthday Girl. Wapakels na sa picture taking si Xian,mukhang langoy na langoy na eh!

 

Oopps, checking the water first.baka daw kase malamig.

And now,don't ask what is the shade of Xian's skin.hahaha!

Good Friday and Black Saturday

We just savor our staycation, do household errands, playtime with Xian, visit our relatives, watched some kiddie movies. By the way, Gnomeo and Juliet was the little man and I's favorite movie at the moment, then sleep, munched the food we hoard prior to holidays.Takot magutom since majority of the establishments and malls in our place were closed for two days.

These are two of our favorite snack discoveries:

 M & M's cookies for Xian. he loves the combination of his favorite chocolate and cookies. I must say,masarap nga!

caramel cheesecake icecream for mommy, although nothing can replace Magnum's special place in my tastebuds.kaso di available ang Magnum nowadays (ganun na ata talaga kalakas ang Magnum fever na out of stock sila palagi) so this is my next choice.

Easter Sunday

After the mass,we went to my in-laws place. Xian also had a taste of the summer league where his daddy used to play basketball. The little man even have his own jersey courtesy of hubby's teammates/friends (which are also Xian's  ninong's). Allan kase is a basketball player, that's his ultimate hobby when we're not yet married. Bago pa man nya ko minahal nung nagkakilala kami eh mahal na nya ang bola ng basketball.No wonder he's one of the best varsity player in our university wayback,kaya nga ko nainlove di ba.haha! #oneproudfantalkinghere.

 Xian #3! I hope he'll also be a good basketball player when he grows up. Magstock ako ng madaming cherifer para sayo,anak!

Monday

It's Xian's Jollibee Day for the last day of the long vacay. I don't have any pics since the usual routine naman whenever we're there eh playtime then eat his favorite  food - chicken,spaghetti and fries.


 All in all, this mommy still finds time to rest and reflect for the past few days together with my little man! Looking forward sa next long weekend! :P

 

Xian's Fun Time, Play Time!

From our first long weekend, we decided to bring Xian to SM Lipa for a dose of play time since I also need to shop a birthday gift for Heinrich and to my another inaanak who also celebrated his birthday last week.

Malling is incomplete without an arcade visit with my two boys. In short, pag nasa Quantum or Timezone kami, parang dalawa yung anak ko,haha! Aside from Xian's usual carousel ride and other arcade rides, which is paulit-ulit na lang din na picture and pose sa mga favorite rides nya that's why I will not post it here anymore kase baka mauta na kayo.yun at yun pa din.

Anyway, after spending an hour and a half in Quantum, while strolling around we saw this play room called Simple Ride-Jump filled with giant inflatable slides, ball pool and other soft play area and rides, initially after the little man saw few kids of his age screaming with delight, he pulled us towards the fence entrance and there, I know you get the picture.

Their admission rate for 20 minutes is P60, P180 for 1 hour (I forgot to ask the rate of the unlimited playtime)

Simple Ride-Jump!

our happy Xian.actually iniisip na nya strategy nya sa pag-akyat.

What's nice about this is he gets to play with other kids and interacted with them, as in instant friends kagad sila. Xian had a lot of fun going up and down the inflatable slide. Up,down, roll around, jump.Repeat 100x.Walang pagod.

 

O di ba, hindi naman masyadong masaya ang munting binata namin no? Good thing that before he reached his 1 hour time limit, he is already satisfied with his play time, I think 45 minutes lang sya nag-stay. he didn't insist of staying anymore because the place is already jam-packed.

First Post for November

I really maximized my three work-free days with my family and friends to the point that I wasn't able to visit my account and check my daily reads because of several reasons, hence the lack of posts. I only checked my social networking accounts on my mobile. Sarap talaga ng feeling ng long weekend. No wonder when I go to work early this morning, may hangover pa ko ng bakasyon. Hubby filed vacation leave today to extend his time with Xian, and as much as I want to join them, I need to go to work today since regular classes will resume tomorrow.Anyway, I'm looking forward to the upcoming long weekend Part 2 :)

 

I'll tell you how I spend the long weekend on my upcoming posts, As of this moment, I'm still experiencing blogger's block (read:tinatamad.hehe.) Do you also experienced this? Aside from that, I also have a lot of things in mind related to my previous post.

I know I haven't shared it to you yet, sorry for that, please bear with me. it's because we're still on the process although decision is already final. Promise,I'll share it before 2011 end. hehe.

my current state of mind

Anyway, I'm hoping I'll be able to squeeze some time to blog tonight because I don't have anything in mind right now than to put my index finger on our Biometric system and head home straight (but I need to buy pasalubong first - for my baby love and hubby love) ♥

Ciao!
