Saturday Movie Date and Cafe Mediterranean

After the house visitation and late lunch (1:30pm) in Kenny Rogers at Southmall, we went home to rest for a while and freshen ourselves for our scheduled movie date in ATC. I bought the tickets in Sureseats online few days ago to make sure that we got the afternoon screening time as early as possible. So with that, hubby and I went to Atc around 4pm just in time for our 6pm schedule.



Our 2D tickets

After getting our tickets, we bought snacks first so we have something to eat while watching.. I know we're late in watching the breaking dawn, some of my officemates watched it on the first week pa lang kaya super nae-excite ako whenever they tell something about it.

Hubby bought Burger King Combo with free Coke and Lays..

On the other hand, i bought naman the Jumbo Combo from Taters that consists of Jumbo Popcorn and 2 regular soda. I also chose the newest flavor (5kinds) from Taters...

After we bought snacks, we went inside and watched the movie. The cinema is not that full and there are few empty seats in front of us. I concentrated on the movie and im so kilig over Edward and Bella.. Edward is really handsome and i really love this movie kasi talagang umikot lang yung story kay Edward and Bella. I also love the place where they held their honeymoon.

Hay.. How i wish i was in that same place also :(

This scene was part of their honeymoon... And you have to see the other scenes like in the beach and in the falls where they both jump.


I was waiting for this scene because it is where Edward broke the bed while making love. Bed breaking scene according to some. hehe

I have read the Breaking Dawn book and there are some part of the story that are not told in the movie. However, important scenes in the book were showed and the movie really goes well. Ang galing lang nila and i cant wait to see the part 2. I am excited to see how Renesmee grows faster. 

After watching the movie (around 8pm), we went first to Cellphone stores and look for a new case for hubby's iphone. We were looking for a Belkin case kaya lang wala kaming makita. We'll try some other stores next time. After going around the town and before heading home, we had our dinner first in Cafe Med.


Going Greek this time. I am not new to this palate so i was familiar with the food already.


I was the one who ordered food for us because it was hubby's first time to try Greek food.


Condiments..

If you love Shawarma, definitely you will love gyro sandwiches here and this condiments is much like the sauces of Shawarma.


Our Drinks

Fresh Lemonade for me
Iced Coffee for hubby

Hubby was dissapointed with his iced coffee kasi para lang daw syang uminom ng nescafe :( I tasted his drinks and he was right. I like naman my fresh lemonade.


For hubby, i chose Grilled Beef Kebab and instead of pita i ordered Basmati rice for him.


Hubby with his meal..

He liked what i ordered for him. He said that the beef was really tender and juicy. Naninibago lang sya sa lasa ng basmati rice. Based from my experience or what i know, Basmati rice was the only plain rice in Indian cuisine because usually Indian rice has coconut bits or smells coconut.


I ordered Kofta sandwich and i added fries and pickles from the Gyro Sandwiches because im still full from the snacks that we had in the cinema.

This is similar to Shawarma but bigger and full of toppings. Instead of sliced beef, this Kofta consists of Beef and Lamb meatballs.


I also ordered Panna Cota with Mango sauce 

Overall, we had a satisfying dinner. I think Cafe Med will not be on hubby's list of restaurants that he wants to go back to whenever we look for a place to dine. Its not that he dont like the food but it was not something that he will crave for.


Late lunch in Kenny Rogers

After going in our house last Saturday, we decided to go in Southmall and have our lunch before going home. We asked Mama of where she wants to eat and said Kenny Rogers (feeling ko fave nya yun hehe). While going there, i have Hainanese chicken in my mind as my order but to my dissapointment it was not available that time :(

As we were looking in the menu board, we saw a new poster of the new must-try. Kenny Rogers never fails to offer something new. After introducing the roast and grill entrees, now comes the new Honey Roast Chicken released last Nov. 15, 2011 only and perfect for the christmas season. Since its new offer from Kenny Rogers we already want to try it.



We ordered the Group Meals that consists of the following:

1 Whole Honey Roast Chicken that comes with honey-garlic sauce.

4 side dishes and 4 muffins

 Rice and a pitcher of Soda or Iced Tea.


Honey Roast Chicken can also be enjoyed in Solo Plates and Combo Meals. After eating our lunch, i can say that the chicken is juicy and very flavorful. Ika nga nila "Walang Sayang"...

There's also new side-dishes pala, bat parang di ko nakita to last time?


I wanna try the new side dishes.. Oh well, next time when we go to mall for another christmas shopping adventure :)

Have you tried the new Kenny Rogers Honey Roast Chicken?

House Turn-over and Visitation


Our loan was released by Pag-ibig last November 23, 2011 and only last Saturday that we were able to go in developer's office to sign papers and issue PDC for the first 12 months. We went there with my in-laws because they also want to check my SIL's house.


Actually we were not expecting this because all the while and based from what i heard, Pag-ibig caused too much delay to some borrowers so we anticipated the turn-over to be early next year. Since our developer was one of the well-known here in our country, the processing of loan in Pagibig was really fast.

And i felt na this is it! We're starting next month with our monthly amortization in Pag-ibig. We need to start cost-cutting with our luho so we can pay our loan in advance. 

Hubby released his 12month PDC to our developer.


After signing some papers, we get the key and visit the house.

Tami is excited with her new house. Gusto na nga tumira dun.

Hubby

On Tami's room with Hubby, Sean and Tami.


Tambay muna with hubby and Mama.


Common CR...


Sean told us that he want swimming pool on the vacant lot on the back of the house, malaki pa kasi yung space...

Me..

After visiting the house, we walk a few meters and check some houses and designs.


Hubby saw this on the other side. He want the set-up of the house, the design of the terrace and the garage under and then open space on the side with garden and walkway.


Hay so many things to do pa and more money needed :(
Starting January, im going to start buying house stuffs, though were not planning to transfer agad because when i called Divine Light School in Molino, they will not accept Tami next school year kasi alanganin daw. We'll transfer her on her 1st grade of schooling. So for now, were staying in Las Pinas then visit the house once in a while.

Once the house is 100% done and the house stuff are complete, we plan of staying there on weekends. Di ko alam kung ano mararamdaman ko, excited na kinakabahan na hindi ko alam... Basta isa lang ang alam ko, we already have house that we can call our own and at the same time proud of ourselves because at 30 years old (Me) and 29 yrs old (Hubby), we were able to establish our family and  have investment like this.

Are you happy for us?

Thanksgiving Shopping in Divisoria

My in-laws were supposed to go in Divisoria last week pa but since they knew that im going there and will buy lots of toys, they moved their sked kung kelan ako available para may sasakyan at hindi ako mahirapan magdala nung toys. I am lucky because we dont have work last friday because of the Thanksgiving celebration in the US. Most of the agents went to Divisoria to shop and we also go there na rin because we anticipated the crowd on weekends.

There is this building full of toys near Divisoria Mall and its one of my agenda in Divisoria. It is the first place that i went to before shopping for our personal loots. I bring my list of godchildren and limit my budget of P6,000 only for the toys. Nakabili na rin kasi ako last time nung nag-sale ang Toy's R Us in ATC kaya konti na lang kulang ko.

Here are some loots that i got, i have to haggle with the price and the saleslady in one of the big store gave me discount provided that i will buy 6pcs for each kind to get the wholesale price.

I saw this design in Toy Kingdom catalogue and this costs around P1k++. This is P400 in divisoria, the lady gave this for only P350.00 each. 


Toy Kingdom has this design too. From 220.00, i got it at P180.00


Toy Story na parang robot. From P180, P150.00 na lang.


This microphone that has MP3 from P300.00 to P250.00


Barbie Like Toy (from P180 to P150)


One of my godchildren requested a Jacket as christmas gift. So i bought this Minnie Mouse Jacket for her. I got it for only P280.00


Buti na lang pina-box ko yung mga toys kung hindi naku baka hindi lang isa ang nabuksan ni Sean at Tami...

In fairness, maganda yung microphone toy at walang ginawa si Tami kundi kumanta, sinasabayan yung music ng papa nya. I made the right decision in buying this toy.


After buying toys and bringing it all in the van, we separate again to buy our personal stuff. After an hour of walking, my sister in law texted me because our aunt called Papa if he can accompany them to Tanay Rizal, they had no choice but to leave early. Ako naman, instead na umuwi i texted my officemates, joined them and start shopping again for our personal stuff.


Some of our officemates that we saw in Divisoria (taken in the 3rd flr of 168 mall)

And who said na ako lang ang shoppingera? Nakikita nyo ba yang mga bag nila? Hindi pa tapos yan because we took this photo around 3pm pa lang and we're not yet done pa nyan.. 


Here are our personal loots:

For Hubby:

Abercrombie Polo shirt (from P280 to P250.00)
Abercrombie short (from P300 to P280.00)


For Tami:

Hello Kitty stuff (as promised)

Bracelet  P100.00
Toothbrush P70.00
Earrings P50.00

RL dress P280.00

For Me:

Nice blouse from P280 to P250 each. 

I bought 2 in diff colors because i love its soft fabric..


Printed Blouse P350


Angry Bird Shirt (from P250 to P200)

Our team christmas party theme is Angry bird so we look for Angry Bird shirt as our outfit. Nice naman ng fabric and i think worth it naman sa price.

Will wear this on our department's Christmas Hat Party.


Accessories

Necklace (range from P50 to P120)
Rings (3 for P100)
Bracelet (not in pic) P50

Swatch watch for only P100

Two of my officemate bought this watch and we saw it while having our merienda on the foodcourt of 168 mall. After seeing this, Chucky and I decided to buy also para pare-pareho kami...

Im not fan of buying branded items na fake naman and this is an exception! haha... For P100 hindi ka naman manghihinayang dba? 


Baker's Fair Hopia

Ang hindi mawawala sa shopping list ko whenever we go in Divisoria..


When im home and took all the photos, i tried the accessories:

I love the owl ring...

Bracelet and another fave ring... Nice no?


Shopping in Divisoria makes me tired and costly but it was super fun especially with friends.. Whole day is not enough in divisoria.. oopppss! pati pala budget ko :) I went there with P6,000 budget for the toys and P2,000 for my personal loots pero kinulang pa rin and i withdrew another P1,500 for my last round of shopping. Success naman ang shopping galore namin kahit nag-over budget ako..

Siguro 13th month pay was made for christmas shopping talaga no? After shopping in Divisoria and completing the gifts for my godchildren and other kids, my only problem now is the gifts for my relatives... Eto ang pinaka-challenging for me because i have to look for fab gifts talaga..

Till my next shopping escapade :)
