Dec 14. MOA's Light Parade and Fireworks + Christmas Shopping Part 1

When december came, i told hubby to schedule 1 saturday so Tami can watch Moa's christmas light parade and we can start buying some for christmas and he agreed with me.

Dec 14 was our schedule. He fetched us in our broker office in Las Pinas after his work and we went to MOA. We arrived around 4pm and the parade schedule is 5.30PM. Since we still had ample time, we started roaming around the mall and we drop by first in Superga for Tami's footwear.

Here we are in Superga store. Tami choose what pair she wants, fit and showed us.

My baby with her Superga Footwear.

After buying footwear, we went to Entertainment mall area and look for restaurant where we can eat and at the same time watch the lights parade and fireworks.

We settled with Modern Shanghai kasi ok yung nakuha namin na table compared sa iba na puno na...

Here's our dinner:

Chicken for Tami

Yang chow fried rice

Xiao Long Bao for me :)

Beef Strips...

Here's our table. Ok dba?

And when the lights parade started kitang-kita namin. Tami enjoyed the view pati sa fireworks. Na-video pa nya yung fireworks using her ipad.

Our dinner finished after the fireworks.. At 7.30pm we still go around the mall kasi masyado pang maaga to go home and para makaiwas na rin sa traffic. We bought something for ourselves muna.

Regatta Shirt for hubby. P595.00

Sabi ko naman sa inyo, he's a fan ng Regatta kasi everytime na naglalabas ng new design ang Regatta bili agad si hubby. Ang ganda kasi ng designs nila at fabric, sobrang mura pa. 

Zara Men Long Sleeve Polo  P2,295.00 and Zara shirt P795.00

Needed for his weekly meeting. His office requires the management to wear semi-formal on their first day of the week for client call and meetings, the rest of the week is casual.

Penguin Earl Polo for Me P3,450.00

Bought something for myself for our christmas party and awarding :)

Achieve ang plan! Our next plan then was to go to ATC for tami's clothes and goodies. Till my next blog. Need ko na rin umalis and go to office.

How's your christmas?

Our Christmas in Laguna...

We spent christmas in Laguna but instead in our house, we held our christmas in my aunt's place to show her newly built resthouse or 2 storey bahay-kubo at the back of their house. FYI, her kubo is not the typical kubo in the farm, sosyal ang bahay kubo ni Tta Babes, sayang nga lang hindi ko nakunan ng pictures, next time promise...

Anyway, we were complete of course except to Cantos Family and BJ who were all in the US (i made this blog for them, to know the latest and our whereabouts hehe) We arrived before lunch and sleepover to my aunt's house...

Here are some of the pics.. sorry eto lang nakunan ko...enjoy eh.. di napansin na wala pa palang pics...

Silverio kids (L-R) Cross, Tami, AJ and CJ

Since sila lang nman ang kids in the family, sila lang din ang playmates and pinakamaraming gifts.. Dati unahan kami sa pagpila sa mga tita ko, ngaun kami na ang pinipilahan grabe!

Cousins

Cross - son my my cousin Kaye

Tami - my daughter

AJ - my brother's son

CJ -  daughter of my cousin BJ

The scenario kapag kumakain either lunch, merienda or dinner...

Panalo ang handa ni Tta Babes nung pasko, during our lunch grabe ang Bulalo, feeling ko maha-high-blood ako that time, Ginataang tilapia, Embutido, Lechong Kawali, Chopsuey. Ang desserts Macapuno, Salad and Leche Flan.

Merienda we had Arrozcaldo and Tokwa't-Baboy

Lunch pa lang nag-umpisa na ang mga nainom.. hindi pa kumpleto yan..

Taken at the 2nd floor of the kubo..

Hubby

We enjoy staying in the kubo kasi super lamig and we were complete... Enjoy pa while gift-giving..  Tawanan, kulitan, Asaran...... Priceless!

We sleep-over at my aunt's house and during breakfast we had our favorites namely: kesong puti, pandesal, Suman at tsokolate, Itlog na pula, hotdog...

After we eat, nagbalot na kami ng ulam, prepare our things and we left Laguna before lunch... We arrived at home around 1pm

While unpacking our things, i saw Tami getting some of the money in her bag. Nkakatawa pa nga kasi she didnt know that its Pesos. Ang alam lang nya ay dollar kaya everytime someone gave her money, she was telling them that its dollar...

e.g Tami says "Mama, look i got 20 dollars (referring to 20 pesos) kaya nman tuwang-tuwa ang mga nkakarinig kay Tami..

Tuwang-tuwa ang bruha at marami syang pera! I taught her how to put money in the coinbank and i explained to her that if she has money, the violet (100), the gold (500) and the blue (1,000) she has to save it for her toys or anything she wants to buy pag marami na... Mukang naintindihan nman nya kasi nilagay nya lahat sa alkansya yung 100, 500 ang 1,000.. Dont worry, iniwan ko nman yung mga 20's and 50's sa little bag nya....

Thank you nga pla sa lahat ng nagbigay ng regalo smen, Thanks to Ate dalyn for the Barbie Bag with Kikay set, Mika for the Barbie jewelry set, Tta Nidan for the Doll na naiyak and dumododo (tami loved it), Tta ne for the toy and for all the things that Tami received during Christmas... di ko na iisa-isahin kasi masyadong marami, alam nyo nman kung sino kayo...

Buti n lang pla na hindi ako bumili ng bag because I got 2 new Bags last Christmas, one from Tita Nidan and the other from Tta Nene... Thanks also to those who gave money to us.. We appreciate all the gifts..

Thank You and Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Shopping Rush Part 2

December 24, 2010

Its the last day to shop and i went to Glorietta. Since im going to buy for my relatives, i only have one in my mind and that is Marks and Spencer, I really like their Body mist and spray... Hindi na ko nag-isip at dun ko na lang binili lahat since wala na rin naman akong time :)

And the gifts are complete already.

After we prepare ourselves for xmas dinner in my in-laws, i ask our little Santa to stand beside the Christmas tree and took some pictures..

Im signing off... Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Shopping Rush Part 1

I left the office at 1:00pm just to shop because i only had 2 days left to complete the Christmas gifts aside from the money that we will give to our inaanaks na malalaki na and to elders na namamasko pa..

First, i went to Rustans and Glorietta to find the Oakley Ducati Edition in Matte black but unfortunately i cant find any matte black because its already sold out. I was thinking of going to Boni high street pero malayo na sa way ko kaya sa greenbelt na lang yung last chance ko for that specific Oakley shades. I went to TIO2 (one of the distributors of Oakley) and i was lucky that they still have the last Matte black..

Oakley Fuel Cell Ducati edition..

After i bought the Oakley shades, I went to SM southmall to meet hubby. I originally planned of going to ATC but hubby wants to stay in Southmall para daw mas malapit because he was so sure na sobrang traffic pauwi..

We ate merienda first at Sbarro then go shopping after. We went to Toy kingdom and bought some toys to our daughter and to some of our inaanaks, we also bought some kids clothes sa mga boutique para may paper bag na at hindi na babalutin. Syempre hindi ko na sasabihin kung ano yung mga binili nmen kasi mawawalan ng thrill yung pagbibigyan kasi baka mabasa nila to.. Malay ko ba kung alam nila tong blog ko or hindi...

The gifts under our christmas tree, grabe i was so dead tired buying those gifts. From 1pm to 9pm we were in mall choosing gifts to give for tomorrow.

Special mention to Ate ta for wrapping some of the gifts, grabe ang pila sa gift wrapping section ng SM and toy kingdom, daig pa ang pila sa sinehan... Syempre ayoko naman mag-tyaga pumila dun no kaya si Ate Tata n lang ang nagbalot ng gifts...

Later will be the Christmas shopping rush part 2. This time, ill buy gifts for my family, cousins and aunts since i already bought the gifts for my inaanak, yung walang gift pera n lang.....Sana makumpleto ko yung list ko and this time will be in Landmark and Glorietta or baka sa MOA n lang basta ayoko na sa Southmall because of terrible traffic when going home.

Silverio's Christmas

Sorry for the late blog because i had to wait for some pics from my cousin's cam and December is a busy month, because a lot of parties happen in this month, shopping of gifts etc. Anyway, i still want to share what our family is doing during christmas.

December 25, 2009

We all went to Laguna as our yearly family tradition. It was supposed to be in Tagaytay pero nag-inarte ang lola ko at binago ang plano. Pero buti n lang hindi na din natuloy, we heard from my other tita that tagaytay was jampacked with people and Josephine's was the only restaurant that was open that day so all people are there dining. They've decided for family dinner in our house in Laguna.

Here are some of the food during our dinner. Our lola always cooked some of our favorite food and that's why we all look forward on what is the menu for the event.

Lumpiang Sariwa

Prawns

Adobong pusit

Lechon (sorry late ko na na-picturan kaya di na buo yung lechon)

This is us dining on the kitchen, since the long table can only occupy at least 15 persons, yung iba nakatayo na..haha..

Sobrang saya during the dinner because of the kwentuhan, tawanan and sharing some funny stories. Lola even told us na "Kung sa tagaytay tyo nag-pasko ganyan ba tyo kasaya?" O dba, panalo ang drama ni lola.. but on the other side, tama din nman because when you're eating outside with the family, first the time is limited and were 35 persons, for sure sobrang gulo when we dine in some restaurant.

After having the dessert (which i dont have pics), we continue our session inside the sala, taking pictures and gift giving. Here are some pics taken in the sala area..

Waiting on who will start the gift giving..haha

Tta Ne started giving gifts...

Here's kuya bing preparing some moolah for lola..

Its me, actually nag-iisip ako nyan kung sino nakalimutan kong bilhan ng gift..hehe...Beside me are the gifts for me and hubby and tami...

Some of my uncle and bro, drinking liquor and kwentuhan..

the oldies..haha..its already 11pm and were still kicking! haha..

It me and my baby...

busy with her watch...

We had our Midnight snack at around 12am before we call it a night.

Our midnight snack consists of Bibingka (brought by tta baby), Dinuguan, Krispy kreme doughnut, Keso de bola and bread...

We had a very Merry Christmas this year and were all thankful for all the blessings we received and for that we share this for doing an Outreach / xmas party and you can read it on my previous post...

Happy New Year everyone!

Christmas Shopping...

Christmas is very near and im still on the muni-muni mode of what gifts to give this holiday season. It started with my list that i made 2 months ago with the important people to not-so-important people..haha.. I know that im thinking bad but its my way on how to manage my finance this xmas. With my previous xmas years, i do not make any list or do budgeting for the gifts and i ended up with an empty wallet. So this time, i promised myself to use my list so i can save some for my personal trip. I started my gift hunting and gift buying 2 weeks ago....

 

Its november now and im glad to say that im halfway done with my list!

 

I bought some at Gingersnaps, Guess, penshoppe and some at SM Department store and with this little shopping of mine, it costs me already around P5,000. I have 18 inaanaks so P5,000 is really not enough, im thinking of giving cash to some of them if i did not make it to shop till december because i am busy with my job and my online raket too *wink*

I am now currently forcing my brain to think of presents for our relatives which is important to me. With my sosyal relatives, i have to hunt on some cheap but elegant gifts. I also need to look for christmas wrapper that im going to use. Sometimes im searching over the net because shopping online is really a hassle-free but with the shipping rates, knowing that it will cost me more than the price of the item, id rather choose to shop in malls.

There goes my shopping adventure. I can't wait for the next one!

Christmas is Near!

Its November already and Christmas is very near. I know all of us are thinking of what would be our christmas this year. The upcoming holidays can also be an opportunity to those who love doing business for holiday season thats why we can expect a lot of bazaars and mall sale in the next few weeks.

With the recent happenings in our country due to several typhoons, i know that all filipinos still manage to smile despite of what happen and excited with the coming holiday season.

Our family talked about of what were going to do and where to celebrate this christmas, preferebly not in our house in Laguna because our house is still submerged in the water. One of my tita suggest of doing an Outreach Program Christmas Party on December 26 to be held in the vacant lot in front of my other lola's house. So for all those namamasko yearly in our house in Laguna you can go there if this plan will push through. Let's see. And for us, we will still have our own christmas/reunion party maybe here in Manila or some other place. We will still have our traditional gift-giving within the family.

Now, i have to think of gifts that i have to buy for my 18 inaanaks, my cousins, titas and titos, in-laws....Any suggestions?


What about you, what do you want for christmas?

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas is a truly magical season, bringing families and friends together to share the much loved customs and traditions which have been around for centuries. Most people are on holiday and stay at home with their family on Christmas day.

We are going to have a double celebration, christmas and my mom-in-law's birthday. Everybody in the house will be busy doing stuffs today. Mama is a good cook, so she's in charge (as always) for good foods.

It was kind of lonely here in Makati. I am thinking of my friends either they're on leave or somewhere celebrating the noche buena so I felt a bit alone and sad. But I realize i need to do work and the good thing about working on holidays is because we are paid double but since it's regular holidays, we are paid more than double...yipee!

Hey, it's Christmas! That should be reason enough to feel happy and thankful. :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Wishlist

Christmas is just around the corner and everyone's putting up their own wishlists, so I thought of doing mine. Here goes my wishlist. Hehe. :)

1. New Wooden Bed
- Since Tami is big enough, we can use the frame of our bed and I wish to have new mattress though it’s kinda expensive. haha

2. A pair from the 2009 Havaianas or Crocs collection
- The new collection has some interesting pairs I'd love to take home.

3. New Bag- just to add to my collection

4. Clothes
- It's also a need. After all, I don't wear uniform at the office.

5. Fax machine
- it's for business and it's still a plan


What's your wish this Christmas?
