Busy weekend

YUP! It was a busy weekend but a fun one and my pockets were bruised... hahahah....

Friday: John&Yoko Restaurant Greenbelt 5
Bear's parents anniversary -- As usual, I got invited to this family event. While waiting, I headed for Landmark originally to buy a swimsuit for my niece but I ended up buying Christmas stuff for all of the kids on my list. Since the bear is late because of a meeting, I was the first to meet the family at the resto. It's Japanese (kinda obvious from the name). They ordered There goes my diet (P1,600), a big sampler plate with all the Japanese goodies (too bad I wasn't able to take a picture of it) like dumpling, sashimi, maki, tempura, sate, chicken terriyaki and a huge bowl of sauteed rice in the middle. They also offer 3 colors of refillable iced tea: red, green and blue. I liked the green one best.

Saturday: Splash Mountain Los Banos, Laguna
After so many 'drawings' on this one, FINALLY! It happened. It's fun actually to pack up for a trip -- matrabaho nga lang because of the food preparation but in toto, it's sooooooooo worth it.

Entrance in the resort is P80/adult. Children under 2 years of age are free. We got a long table for P560 and rented a grill for P40. There were 8 pools available that time. It's good to go there early as people usually start to multiply in the mid afternoon. I brought the bear with us so we got an extra hand in carrying all our stuff. Foodies: rice, spaghetti (I cooked til 1AM), grilled chicken, liempo, tilapia and talong, enseladang talong, mangga, onions and tomatoes.

It's the first time my niece went on a swimming trip. We can tell that she really enjoyed it. Ayaw umahon. hehehe... Good thing it's not that sunny so we were all able to preserve our skin tones. I dunno why but my tan line sorta became more apparent.

Sunday: Tagaytay
We go to Tagaytay whenever we have the time to hear mass and then have breakfast at Mcdo or Max's. Syempre, after the mass, we had our usual fishballs/chickenballs moment. SARAP! Freshly cooked and devoured on a cold and windy morning. Then we headed to Max's for breakfast. Since we're 'regular and special' customers (my mom and tita vhie knows the waiter supervisor), Jordan (the other waiter/friend), gave us complementary iced teas. I remember during my mom's birthday last year, they gave us free chocolate ice cream.

Next stop: Pink sisters. Since we can't bring my niece inside the church, I simply accompanied her outside. I let her walk to her heart's desire. A young girl holding a canon DSLR, started to take pictures of her. She even showed me the pics and then said that she'd email them to me. Lolo! Ganun pala talaga pag hobbyist ng photography.. you take pictures of almost everything. hahhaah

Then we headed to SM Molino Hypermart for household stuff while listening on the radio for the Pacquiao updates. 8 rounds and yahoo! I placed a bet on Pacquiao for P500 which means I'll be collecting P1,000 today. hehehe...

In relation to Pacquiao's TKO, my pockets experienced it too. *sigh* But it's okay because money won't really buy those moments of happiness with my family.

Addtitional: we got home at 3PM and guess what's on TV... the 7th round. Ang dami kasing commercial. E we heard Pacman's win 1PM.
