It was my son's field trip last August 28. Originally it was scheduled last August 16 but due to bad weather it was moved, good thing I was able also to move my vacation leave. Last year we went to Ayala Museum and Ocean Park in Manila. This year its another Ocean Adventure but this time in Pampanga. Its a long travel but its fun and exciting. We left Harrell Horne I think around 6:00 am. Our first visit was in Nayong Pilipino sa Clark. There we saw the replica of Barasoin Church, Emilio Aguinaldo's house and also the houses of our "ninuno", the aetas. There we bought a small magic spring toy, Davids cap a red shawl for me.

Next stop over is Ocean Adventure where we spent the whole day. We had our free lunch there which is pork adobo and chicken with sweet sauce plus iced tea. We are able to watch tree shows, first is how to survive in the jungle and they feature some animals like snake, bat, rat etc. Next is the dolphin show followed by the sea lion show. There we are able to buy a dolphin and a fish ref magnet as souvenir, also a snake toy and a frog stuff toy for my little girl. Last stop was at duty free but we just stayed on the bus to take a rest. We arrive at home around 11pm. It was a tiring day but really fun and educational.

Last Sunday we went to Tagaytay for a trip. We are supposed to visit my tita and lola in Batangas but change our agenda. After breakfast all of us prepared. All kids take a bath first and then the adults. At first we are thinking of place where the kids can have fun. We are thinking of going to MOA, Southmall, luneta, park near our place... until we decided to go to Tagaytay. My mom cooked rice and bring some plates and utensils, we are going to have our lunch there. We end up eating in a restaurant with kubo and then went to Olivares to hunt clothes in ukay-ukay. There's a playground for kids where David and Joshua stay while we are hunting for clothes. We also both angry birds slippers for Rhaine and a small angry bird playset for David. Out of excitement David open his toy and when we got home he find out that the red angry bird is missing. He and his dad look inside the van but its not there. The toy only comes with two birds, yellow and red. That makes him upset but I told him not to since he still have some angry birds toy in our house. He is still requesting for an angry bird toy for Christmas.. oh well!

Last Sunday my mom and my two brothers with their family visited us. Actually my brother went to our house to ask my husband on applying to Taiwan. My mother and my eldest brother who is near our area decided to went as well. It was really hot and we decided to go somewhere else, to relax. It came to our mind of going to Tagaytay but my brother said it would be hot there as well since it is late afternoon. We then decided to go to SM Southmall. Its a nice idea because I've never been there after the renovation was done. Anyway we are not able to stroll around because we have 4 little kids with us. While looking for a place to it I suggested to visit Jollibee near ATC. They have playground in the 2nd floor and its nice because the place is not always full. The kids really enjoy their playtime. I hope to have this kind of gathering again with my brothers and their family.

On Thanks Giving Day our team at work is planning to go to Baguio along with our family. Baguio is known for its cold breeze or temperature. We went there before when David I think was two years old. He was too young then and cannot remember anything. This time he is 5 years and he is excited to wear his new jacket. He told me to buy one with a hood but I got excited when I purchased one on sale and did not noticed that what I got doesn't have a hood. It's 50% off, I was able to get it for only P250. We will be leaving this Thursday and we'll be back on Saturday. I will ask my husband to go to his school to inform his teacher about our trip. I hope he would enjoy the Baguio as well as his new jacket.
