Shit Happens!!!

Minsan, kahit nananahimik ka lang at kahit sobrang ingat mo, kung mamalasin ka, mamalasin ka talaga.

Hindi ko pa nakwekwento dito sa blog ko. Last year, December 25 (yes, paskong pasko), binangga kami. Alam niyo yun, hindi naman ganun ka-busy yung street na dinadaanan naming at hindi naman mabilis ang takbo ng auto naming, bigla na lang kami sinalpok sa likod. Eto pa... yung auto namin, 1 month pa lang. Tipong pagpumasok ka sa loob, amoy bago pa. MALAS! Next, ang nakabangga sa amin ay motor. MALAS! At eto pa, pagod ka na,, gutom ka na, pumupoo pa ang anak mo! Di ko na ikwekwento in details dahil kadiri talaga. MALAS! Oh di ba? San ka pa?

So last night, in less than 2 months, another accident happened. Binangga na naman si hubby! This time, yung car naman niya. Nakahinto lang siya dahil sa traffic tapos may nagleft turn na bus papuntang gasoline station sa likod niya. Ayun, sinabitan siya! Warak yung tail light niya and gasgas ang bumper niya. Haaayyysssttt! Perwisyo talaga. Imbis na nakauwi siya ng maaga, umaga na siya nakauwi dahil sa mga police report eclaver na kailangan. At ang matindi ba niyan, kabago bago ng bus na nakadali sa kanya, wala raw insurance. So goodluck na lang kami sa singilan nito.

Pero eto ang funny part... Since sanay na sanay na ako sa asawa ko kapag tatawag sa akin at sasabihin na nabangga siya... Eto na lang ang sagot ko sa kanya...

"Di ka naman takaw bangga ano? Meron atang nakapaskil sa likod mo na 'BANGGAIN MO AKO!' eh"

Haaayyy buhay.... Shit happens talaga!

My Super Simple Husband and His New Bag

My husband is so simple. Walang kaarte arte sa katawan yan.

Sa food, kahit anong ipakain mo sa kanya, kakainin niya yan (Basta edible ha!). Lahat masarap. Sabi nga nila, may vetsin daw siya sa dila. Hahaha!

Nagbabaon si hubby everday. Mas gusto raw niya ang baon kaysa bumili ng food. Mas nabubusog daw siya and mas gusto niya ang luto ko (Naks!). Kasi nga naman, sa labas, magastos na, bitin pa! Nakakatuwa ano? Bilib nga sa kanya parents ko eh kasi raw hindi nahihiya magbaon. Yung iba raw kasi nahihiya kapag baon ang pagkain.

When it comes to eating out. Adventurous din si hubby. Kahit turo turo lang, ihaw ihaw or street food, kumakain yan. Mahilig din yan sa mga eat all you can and rice all you can. Kung saan siya mabubusog, ok sa kanya. Pero siyempre it doesn't mean naman na hindi kami kumakain sa mga bonggang restaurant. Hehe!

Sa susuotin niyang damit, hindi rin mapili yan. Branded man o hindi, susuotin niya. Actually, wala naman talaga siyang pakialam, basta kasya sa kanya, ok na sa kanya yun.

When it comes to shoes, wapakels din siya sa brand. As long as comfy sa kanya, ok na sa kanya. Sa katunayan nga ang pampasok niya na shoes is yung World Balance Easysoft lang. Yung tig P399.75 lang. Pero in fairness ha, yun talaga yung nagtatagal niya na everyday shoes. Natry na namin mula sa mura hanggang sa mahal na shoes, eto lang ang durable. Ang plus pa dito is waterproof siya. Di kasi siya leather. Rubber siya na mukhang leather shoes.

Pero ang drawback naman sa pagkasimple niya is hindi niya ginagamit yung mga pricey things niya! Alam niyo yun, para siyang may museum. Sobrang minsan lang kung gamitin.

For example...

Sa shoes, pagmamamasyal kami, mas pipiliin pang gamitin yung Happy Feet na buy 1 take 1 na nabili ko ages ago kaysa sa Sperry niya. Kesyo nakakahinayang gamitin daw. Ang sabi ko naman, mas nakakahinayang kung masira lang dahil hindi nagagamit. Di ba ganun ang mga shoes, rumurupok kapag di nagagamit?

Sa watch naman, ganun din yan. Yung Seiko watch lang niya ang ginagamit niya. Yung ibang watches niya, nakatago lang. Alam niyo yun, nakakaloka talaga!

Tapos eto na...

Nasira na kasi yung messenger bag niya. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, reregaluhan ko siya ng signature bag para naman bagay sa profession niya. Basta makita ko ang tamang leather bag, bibilhin ko para sa kanya.

Nung nagpunta kami sa Guam, dun ako naghanap. Mas mura kasi dun ang signature kasi tax free sila. So nakita ko na and binili ko na ang "the one"...

Nung binili ko yun, alam ko na ang magiging banat niya. Sabi ko nga sa mom ko, ang problema niyan baka hindi gamitin kasi manghihinayang yan malamang. Then, tama nga ako. Nung nakapagsolo kaming dalawa...

Doc Padu (mukhang namromroblema): Be, kailan ko gagamitin yung bag?
Me: Everyday!
Doc Padu: Ha!? Sayang naman.
Me: Niye! Kailan mo ba balak gamitin yun?
Doc Padu: For special occasion lang.
Me: Ano ka ba? Kaya nga binili ko yun para gamitin mo eh.
Doc Padu: Ang mahal kasi eh. PXX,XXX.XX pang aaraw araw ko lang?
Me: Ok lang yan. Tumi lang yan ha, paano pa kaya kung Prada ang binili ko sa iyo. Sabi ko na nga ba manghihinayang kang gamitin yun eh. Basta, gagamitin mo yun!

Anyway, wala na siyang magagawa. Nilipat ko na mga gamit niya sa new bag niya. Haha!

Shopping Spree for Christina Reine

Last Sunday, we  went to SM Southmall to buy Christina Reine (Ina) an outfit for her upcoming dedication.


Before I continue my kwento, I'll show you first a picture of hubby baby wearing Ina...

Ang cute nila ano? Slow clap din kay hubby kasi he is very willing to baby wear and wala ka talagang maririnig na reklamo sa kanya. Nakaka-inlove lalo ano? Hehehe.


There... balik na tayo...


Supposedly, dedication outfit lang talaga ang bibilhin namin. And here are Ina's outfit...

BUT... isa pang malaking BUT... biglang nagshopping spree kami for her!!! Paano ba naman, ang daming magagandang clothes for babies. Kung hindi pa ako nakapagpigil, malamang sobrang wasak talaga ang wallet namin.


Knowing me, hindi talaga ako bibili ng wagas eh. Maraming tanong muna lagi sa isipan ko bago bumili eh, like "Kailangan ba talaga?". Pero, may pahintulot ng aking asawa, so gow! Hahaha!


Here is our conversation while we are at SM:


Me: Be, ang gaganda o. Bibilhin ko ba?
Doc Padu: Maganda nga. Pang ilang months?
Me: 12 months
Doc Padu: Sige bilhin mo na, matagal tagal naman magagamit eh.
Me (About to return the items): Ang mahal eh. Huwag na lang...
Doc Padu: Sige na bilhin mo na yan. Matagal naman magagamit ni Ina yan eh.
Me: Sure ka?
Doc Padu: Oo. Para naman may maisuot si Ina kapag umaalis tayo.


O di ba? Yin and yang kami ni hubby. =)


Here are our loots for our unica hija:


Assorted dress...

Ok ba mga designs na napili ko? Parang gusto ko kasi na mala-prinsesa ang magiging mga outfit ni Ina eh. Para babaeng babae. Hehehe! =)


Pambahay clothes...

Some accessories...

Ang kikikay ng accessories ano? Sobrang nakakaaliw yung mga accessories sa SM, yung tipong gusto mo bilhin lahat. =)


Ang hirap pala kapag may baby girl ka na ano? Talagang parang may human doll ka. Ang sarap damitan!


I also bought something for myself and hubby. Wala kasi kaming susuotin na matino sa dedication eh. Alam mo naman kami, we seldom buy clothes and shoes. Bumibili lang talaga kami kapag may occasion or talagang kailangang kailangan na. Aside sa mahirap bumili ng mga clothes for us, we'd rather save na lang the money or spend it for the kids.


Here is the blouse that I bought...

A pair of shoes...

Siyempre, kailangan same hue kami ng suot ni hubby that's why I got him this short-sleeves polo...

I bought the boys new belts na rin. Nakakaawa na kasi yung mga belts nila kasi sobrang luma na.

Lastly, I bought a heavy duty pencil sharpener. Yung tipong pag-nasharpen na yung pencil, pwede nang maging weapon sa sobrang tulis. Hahaha! Kidding aside, I bought this sharpener na kasi nakakadepress yung mga nabibili kong sharpeners dahil ang papangit magtasa. Tipong ubos na yung lapis, hindi pa rin tasa dahil palaging napuputol yung lead.

So that's it! Yan ang pinagkaabalahan namin last weekend. =)

Usapang Mag-Asawa: Halo Halo Cravings

Ang tagal ko na nagcracrave ng halo halo ng Aling Lucy's. If you live in Las Pinas, malamang alam niyo ang Aling Lucy's. May 2 branches sila eh. One beside Puregold Las Pinas and one near RFC. They sell kasi halo halo, mais con yelo and saging con yelo. Masarap na tapos affordable pa.

Last night, since nakakatamad magluto dahil kami lang ni hubby ang kakain, we ate dinner at Chicken Deli. Since tapat lang ng Chicken Deli ang Aling Lucy's, I had this convo with hubby...

Me: Be, parang gusto ko ng halo halo ng Aling Lucy's...

Doc Padu (looking at the ginataang halo halo picture at our table): Sure kang halo halo ang gusto mo? Hindi ginataang halo halo?

Me: Oo... Ang tagal ko na kasi gusto bumili ng halo halo sa Aling Lucy's kaso nakakatamad lang bumili eh. Bakit?

Doc Padu: Ang ironic kasi eh. Umuulan tapos gusto mo ng halo halo.

Me: Eh gusto ko ng halo halo eh, bakit ba nangingiaalam ka?

Ang sungit ko ba? Di ko siya sinusungitan that time ha. Again, normal lang talaga ang tirahan sa mga conversation namin. Hahaha!

Pakialamero ng cravings ng may cravings ano? Pero sa totoo lang, nababasa ko ang nasa isipan niya. Siya ang may gusto ng ginataang halo halo. Di pa ako sabihan ng diretso eh. Hahaha!

Usapang Mag-Asawa: Early Morning Pang-Aapi to My Dear Hubby

Good morning guys!

Pasensya na talaga at di ako masyadong makapagsulat ngayon ha. I know na lagi na lang ako nanghihingi ng pasensya sa inyo pero gustuhin ko man, di na talaga kinakaya ng powers ko eh. If you are following me in Instagram, you can see na palagi kaming nasa galaan. In short, di kami napipirmi sa bahay. Like right now, we are here at Manila Hotel. As usual, my sons and I accompanied hubby. May activity kasi sila eh. Nagdala na ako ng laptop dahil I know na pwede ako makasingit ng work and pagsulat ng blog post kahit papaano.

So for my first blog post for the month of August, I just want to share ang kaaga-aga kong pang-aapi sa mahal kong asawa. Hehehe!

Scenario 1:

After hubby took a bath...

Me: O Be, tignan mo, kasya pala yang polo mo na yan sa iyo eh, bakit di mo na sinusuot?
Doc Padu (inhaled sabay himas sa tiyan): Lumiit na kasi ang tiyan ko eh...
Me (Deadma kuno sa pag-inhale ni hubby): Ah ganun ba? Tignan mo dalawa na nga dinala kong polo para sure na may magkakasya sa iyo eh.
Doc Padu: Actually, yung dinala mong pants di na kasya sa akin. Matagal nang masikip sa akin yun.
Me: Sorry...

On the way to the elevator, nagrelax na si hubby ng kanyang tummy kaya...

Me (Pang-asar): Akala ko ba lumiit na tiyan mo? Ayan o nakauslit! May nalalaman ka pang lumiit na yang tyan mo eh di ka lang humihinga kanina! Hahaha!


Scenario 2:

This morning, while we are having breakfast at Cafe Ilang-Ilang...

Doc Padu: Be, ang di lang maganda dito, ang baba ng table ano?
Me: Bakit? Hirap ba ang tyan mo?
Doc Padu (with a sarcastic voice): Thank you ha!!!


Ganyan lang kami magmahalan ng aking hubby... Asaran to the max! Hehehe! =)

SWAG: All In One Day!

It has been a while since I last posted about a SWAG (Stuff We All Get). Minsan kasi pa-isa is lang kaya hindi ko na ipinopost. Baka sabihin niyo kasi masyado akong OA eh. Pero kahit paisa-isa lang yun, we are still grateful about it because we know that we are remembered and blessed. =)

Anyway, yesterday is kinda extraordinary day. Medyo marami kasi kami nareceive na blessings eh. Pero di naman ganun kalakihan but still blessing pa rin. To cut the long story short, hubby came home with some goodies, I came home with some goodies and the twins came home with something too!

For this post, I'll just share the stuff that hubby came home with last night yung sa akin and sa twins sa susunod na post na lang. =)


Banana Chips...

Cashew Nuts...

Chocolate Cake...

All of those came from med reps. Thank you med reps for the gifts! =)

Overnight Stay at Cocoon Boutique Hotel

Last Wednesday, hubby and I were privileged to attend a grand launch of a new product of a certain pharmaceutical company in Quezon City. Hence, a free accommodation was provided. We were asked to choose between Luxent Hotel and Cocoon Boutique Hotel. Hubby made me choose which hotel to take. I searched the net and read some of the reviews of both hotels. Since Cocoon Boutique Hotel got a higher rating and had more positive reviews, I chose it.

Let me share you some of the pictures that I took during our stay (except for the first one).

Here is the facade of the hotel...

Photosource

Since it's just a boutique hotel, the hotel is just small. It's only has 6 floors. Though it's small, it didn't fail to impress us.


Here is the hotel lobby...

How cozy right?


The front desk located at the far end of the hotel lobby...

Elevator lobby (4th floor)...

The elevator lobby is still cozy. I love that they have plants all over the place and they have a mix of new and antique furniture. Ang lamig sa mata!


The hallway going to the hotel rooms...

Super nice rin di ba? Considering that it's only a boutique hotel.

Our room...

I super love their room. As in everything in it! It's very spacious that my kids can roam around inside. Then their bed is huge. Instead of a king sized bed, they used 2 double beds. Hindi kami naging sardinas that night. Hehe.


Mini bar...

You know what? Cocoon Boutique Hotel is an eco-friendly hotel. For their paper materials and pen are made up of recycled paper. Then their complimentary water, it's not in a PET bottle but in a big Mason Jar. Sobrang aliw! Nakakatuwang isipin na they are concerned with mother nature.


Inside the bathroom:

Toilet and bath area...

Wash area...

The bath tub...

Can you spot the towels? They are rolled with hemp like material. The details talaga! I really appreciated it since I'm a detailed-oriented person.


At the sixth floor:

The pool area...

Can you spot the shower area at the back? Ang ganda niyan! They used antique doors and may mga nice fixtures pa inside. Sayang talaga I wasn't able to take some pictures of it.

Abuela's Coffee Shop...

We had our breakfast here. They serve a modified breakfast. Meaning, you'll choose from a menu then only few items are in the buffet (salad, bread, soup, fruits and juice).

So what did we do while waiting for hubby to arrive at the hotel? Ano pa nga ba? Eh di nagswimming! Hehehe!

My excited kiddos...

The Kulilits having fun in the pool...

Cocoon Boutique Hotel did not fail us! I made the right choice. Everything is nice and beautiful. As I mentioned earlier, madetalye ang hotel na ito which made me in-love with it. Tapos sinamahan pa ng very courteous and friendly hotel staff. Two thumbs up talaga!

Kaya guys, if you are looking for a nice hotel to stay somewhere in Timog, Quezon City, I highly recommend this hotel. I'm sure that you'll like it too. =)

Kulilits Moments: Samu't Sari

Hello guys! Malapit na ang February pero di pa rin ako nakakapagkwento ng ganap sa inyo. So sad talaga! =( Sobrang naipon na mga kwento ko! Baka maging history na. Huhuhu! Gustuhin ko man kasi, pero limited lang ang time ko.

Anyway, here muna ulit for now...

The Boogies...

On our way to Baguio...

Chris: I have boogies Papa G! Can you pick my nose?
Papa G: Ok. Can you check my nose apo. I have a lot of boogies too. Can you remove it?
Chris (checking Papa G's nose): You have long hair inside your nose Papa G!

Laugh trip talaga kami sa car. O di ba? Di marunong magsinungaling ang bata!


Hotdogs...

Chris: Mommy, what do we have for lunch?
Me: We have sopas.
Chris: Are there hotdogs in the sopas?
Me: Yes.
Chris: But mommy, Papa G does not like hotdogs. He said it is bad for your health. But I love hotdogs, Papa G should try it!

You know why Chris said that? We have a rule kasi in the house about food wherein they should try it first before saying no. Kaya ayun, Papa G should try it first daw. Ang kulit lang eh!

Goliath...

Actually, this scenario is about hubby not the kids. Ishare ko lang kasi nakakatawa lang eh.

Chris: I'll pretend to be a giant. I'm Goliath!
Doc Padu (to me): Ok yun ha. Si Goliath. Samson and Goliath.
Me (thinking that hubby is joking): Anong Samson and Goliath?
Doc Padu (with full confidence): Samson and Goliath! Di ba si Samson ang pumatay kay Goliath?
Me: Ano ka ba? Si David no! David and Goliath tapos Samson and Delilah!

Talaga ang hubby ko... Medyo nagrurumble ang Bible characters niya. Parang kahapon, sabi niya si Joseph (son of Jacob), yun daw yung nasubo ng whale. Haaayyysssttt... Partida, nabanggit niya sa akin na balak niya dati pumasok sa seminaryo ha. Hahaha!

Burp...

While holding Christoff...

Me: Burpppp!!!
Chirstoff (pretending to burp): Uuu! Uuu! Uuu! sabay smile at me

Yes, si Christoff na 1 year old, nakikikulit na!



That would be all for now! Goodnight everybody! =)

Kulilits Moments: Honest Conversation with Their Daddy

Sobrang Kulit lang talaga ng mag-aama ko last night. Laugh trip pa talaga kami bago matulog eh. 

When the Kulilits were about to go upstairs...

Doc Padu (serious): Boys, wait! Before you go up, stand up here first and I need your honest answer.

Kulilits: Clueless and looks a little bit scared of their dad (Maybe thinking that they did something wrong).

Doc Padu (still serious): Both of you, stand up here and look at me in the eyes... Answer me, DO YOU FIND YOUR DADDY HANDSOME?

Chris: You are a sleepy head daddy!

Ian: You are slow as a turtle daddy!

Doc Padu: Ano raw?

Me (laughing out loud): Sleepy head ka raw sabi ni Chris tapos slow as a turtle ka raw sabi ni Ian.

Doc Padu: Ganun? Hmf!

Ang kulit lang ano? Ang tanong ni hubby is answerable by YES or NO lang pero ang dami nang sinabi ng mga Kulilits. Honest answer nga naman daw eh! Ayun, naging honest sa daddy nila. Hahaha!

Have a great weekend guys!

The Mind Museum (A Photoblog)

Finally, after so many attempts to post this entry, I am now sharing the pictures of our trip at The Mind Museum last March.

I'll just make it a photoblog ha para naman hindi na ako masyadong mag-isip. Hahaha! Nakakapagod na kasi nowadays eh. Sobrang busy talaga. Kaya nga pansin niyo, bihira na lang ako makapagblog.

Anyway, eto na po:

Here is the brief background of The Mind Museum...

Here are the Kulilits with their backpacks having a souvenir photo with the robot outside the museum. Pansin niyo mga mukha nila? Medyo scared kasi sila sa robot eh. First time kasi nakakita ng real robot. Hehe.

The very nice ticket booths...

We were greeted inside by Aedi the robot...

I love this display. Naaliw kasi ako sa chocolate bar na may fly on top. Hehe...

Doc Padu showing the Kulilits how things work...

The favorite part of my boys in the museum - the static ball. Naaliw kasi sila sa mga buhok  nila eh...

This one is inside the shadow room where our shadows were captured...

Doc Padu busy showing things to the Kulilits...

The whirlpool...

The brain. This one is really nice...

A huge whale display...

The boys checking the prehistoric age timeline...

Evolution of men...

Cool t-rex bone....

The Kulilits striking a pose with the astronaut...

Chris checking out the different displays at the second floor...

Ian is not scared of a robot anymore...

Curious kiddos...

After we checked what's inside the mind museum, we went to the Science-in-the-Park. It's actually a huge educational playground for the kids. =)

The Kulilits really enjoyed playing here which made our trip very sulit!

Seesaw...

The super cool bubbles area...

The slide kung saan kami nagtagal...

Eto pa... isa pang set ng slide...

The sound dome. Dito ako naaliw ng sobra...

This one naman has something to do with music...

Eto naman is for your vision...

Those tall white thingy are drums. Dyan naman nagtagal si Doc Padu. Lam niyo naman yun, mahilig sa tambol. Hehe.

So that's our trip at The Mind Museum. Ang ganda ano? Sobrang class ng museum at talagang pinagkagastusan. Sulit ang binayad namin dahil talaga namang nag-enjoy kami lahat. =)
