The C's Sunday @ Bigg’s Diner

During our Sunday Family Day Out last time, we tried Bigg’s Diner in SM Lipa since they also offer kiddie menu at the same time its not as crowded as other fast food chains at the mall during that particular Sunday.

I read that Bigg’s Diner originally came from Naga pala with a very interesting story to tell.

Anyway,what I love about the place is their ambiance, Xian loves the car design in one part of the wall (which I wasn’t able to take pics since we're seated on the other part of the resto which they called Zone 3 where the car wall is not visible) Anyway,I’ll just borrow some pics in their website later.

Here's the little man while keeping himself busy with his toy while waiting for our food:

serious much?

While orienting daddy about his red car:

This is one of the rare times when we dine out that Xian enjoyed the food and place at the same time (other than his all-time favorite Jollibee). Most of the time kase we really have a hard time choosing our desired resto because of the little man in tow. But this time around,steady lang sya and busy doing his thing.He also enjoyed his moment too while waiting for our food.

These are the only photos of the place  I took from my camera:

Zone 3: The Sports Section

framed photos of famous sports personalities

Now here are some of the photos I borrowed from their official facebook page. 

Xian's favorite part! 57 Chevy in Zone 1

Zone 2: a recreated diner cab or train, complete with the poles

Since I wasn’t able to take pics because my hi-tech camera is battery low already before our food arrived,we ordered Spaghetti with Pizza Bread for the little man while the husband tried their Tenderloin tips plus Macaroni Salad top sider. I tried their Korean Pork Barbecue rice toppings and Halo-Halo supreme for dessert of course all-time favorite coke for our drinks. I was supposed to borrow the food pics from their website but unfortunately I'm having a hard time copy-pasting so here's the complete list of their menu for your reference, check this out:  Bigg's Diner Menu

I love you already Bigg's Diner.we'll be back next time, I want to try the Seafood Pasta!

Because He Also Heart Jobee!

What's with Jollibee that almost all the kids love him. Hmmm I wonder.. Jollibee Magic!

I remember when I was a kid my mom would always reward me with a visit to Jollibee whenever I excel in school or sometimes, instances when I tag along with her whenever she'd go in the city during weekend.During my younger days,the moment I stepped at the food chains' doorstep, my eyes gleams with so much happiness, uh-oh I'm feeling a bit nostalgic now of my happy childhood memories!

I remember the famous Jollibee commercial of the mother and child sharing the same love for Jollibee from then til now,shown several months ago. I see myself and Xian with them.No wonder my love for Jollibee extended to the the little man. The only difference is that there is only one Jollibee store during my time which is a bit far from our place wherein I have this precious photo with Jollibee beside me that is nowhere in sight now (mukhang nasa baul ni lola eh,haha!) compare now that Jollibee outlet is always visible that we can visit anywhere and anytime of the day.

Xian's ultimate favorite Jollibee food is of course the Jollibee Chicken Joy (you should hear him say this,so cute!) and also Shanghai Rolls,like nya rin. Well about me, I always settled for their yummy spaghetti. I'm a spaghetti person ever since the world begun :D

Xian's favorite activity in Jollibee is of course, play time! Here's the little man after his Pedia visit and it was obvious that he missed doing this. There were only few kids that time probably because it's a Wednesday. He laughed, danced, jumped, rolled and played to his heart's content.

No wonder Jollibee is always a happy place for kids.Indeed,Bida ang saya!:)

Where Did My Chubby Baby Go?

I miss my habibi’s tabang siksik nowadays. At bakit hinde, I gave birth to an 8.7 lbs (approximately 3.95 Kg) baby boy exactly 2 years, 4 months, 1 week and 3 days ago via cesarean section. He was even tagged as “Metro Lipa Medical Center’s Biggest Born Baby”. 

I just don’t know if he still holds the title up to now but during that time, he’s the title holder. The nurses said that his birth weight that time was already equivalent to the weight of a 2 months old baby. Yes, big baby indeed! 

A little trivia lang ha,his first ever pedia even referred him as an obese baby. yes,kaloka obese daw! OA din naman si Lady first pedia, that’s why I changed my son’s pedia that time kase in the mind (and heart!) of a new mom experiencing postpartum blues, I’m hurt.hmf!

 few minutes after he come out from my tummy.see the chubby cheeks?

1 day old Baby Xian

Anyway, as I’m busy browsing my son’s old pics, I saw his major transformation. He’s not that chubby anymore, all the baby fats were gone and my baby is slowly turning into a little man indeed. That starts the moment he enter toddlerhood, the stage of kalikutan. I asked his present pedia during his last check up, I felt like he’s kinda “payat” because some of his clothes bought a year ago still fits to him up to now although his current weight is 16 Kg already. His pedia said that his weight is beyond average pa nga daw the normal line because a normal 2 years old's weight is 12 Kg as specified in the growth chart. He even assured me that I have nothing to worry about, because Xian is also tall for his age and what’s important is that he’s healthy and energetic, happy and of course, smart. According to the pedia, being chubby is not the basis of being healthy. which in fairness eh tama naman talaga. Well,I just miss the chubby baby I used to carry in my arms.

But come to think of it,wala naman talaga sya pagkukunan ng “taba” because look at hubby and me’s physique naman. we love to eat but it doesn’t show in our mien.My friends says I’m lucky I eat whatever I like without gaining extra pounds, pero feeling ko talaga may bulate lang ako sa tyan.joke!

Anyway,I don’t need a super chubby baby If I have an active, energetic, happy and smart Xian.We love you so much habibi,chubby or not! ;)

 

The Little Man's Must See Movie for the Month

It's not a secret here in my blog that the little man is a huge fan of Lightning Mc Queen. The first time he saw the movie Cars a year ago, he's an instant fan. For few consecutive weeks, we've been watching it every night before he go to sleep. Again and again,every night,as in! His eyes always light up whenever he saw Mc Queen stuffs. Although he already watched the sequel since my cousin got a copy of the Cars 2 movie from somewhere with unknown subtitle, it is still best to watch it on the big screen.No wonder we're excited for the little man to watch Cars 2,This will be his first ever cinema experience.I just hope he'll be extra behave that time at walang "S".hehe.

So rev up your engines for the animated Cars 2 and see you in theaters on the 24th of August.Ka-chow! ;)

Hubby's Untitled Dish

The original master of our kitchen strikes back again with one of his specialty one rainy Sunday. He cooked this dish for our lunch.This is his version of chicken curry with bamboo shoots (or rather bamboo shoots with chicken). whatever! We called the bamboo shoots or bamboo sprouts as labong here in Batangas.

I lost my appetite because I had been sniffing and tasting what he's cooking a couple of minutes before we eat.lol.Just another hit dish from my cooking master boy perfect for the rainy weather.

 

Friday Night at Shakey's

Just another TGIF night with my sister Sol and her soul sister Gracie (yes,that makes her my adopted sister too!) just like our previous Friday bonding.

I went to the mall two weeks ago after office to buy a new Mc Queen stuff for the little man as promised when my sister texted me that they're also in Lipa that time and probably we could meet up so we could go home together.And since we're all hungry already,we met up at Shakey's. Here's what we had:

Caesar salad.I love their creamy caesar dressing.

garlic bread

the oh so yummy spaghetti platter

Manager's Choice Thin Crust Pizza (Large)

oooops, bottoms up! forgot to take a pic of our iced tea :D

Looking forward to another wonderful Friday night with Sis and Gracie!
