Family Sunday at SM Aura

My dad once had a meeting at SM Aura and he found the mall very nice. Actually, he shopped after his meeting which was very unlikely of him. Hahaha! He told us about his experience and asked us if we would like to go there as a family on a Sunday. Of course, we agreed! Who on earth would refuse a free trip with free food? Absolutely, not us! Haha!

So there...

One Sunday morning, we went to SM Aura in full force. =) We strolled a bit and we found a Christmas display and had an obligatory family picture there. Yes, I know, it's already Valentines and I'm still talking about Christmas here. That's because I haven't blogged that much nowadays because of my busyness with my kids.

We actually went to SM Aura to stroll around and window shop. Knowing our family, the malling turned into food trip!

Since we arrived there in time for lunch, we went to the upper most floor (5th Level) to look for a restaurant to eat and my mom chose Coca Restaurant.

Here is our group picture...

Of course, our helpers aka maids of honor, had their own souvenir picture too...

Riza and Je Ann

Take note: The color of Je Ann's uniform matches the uniform of the waiters there. That's why one of the waiters jokingly told her not to roam around the restaurant because the diners might think that she is one of the crew there. So if I were you, if you decide to dine in there, don't wear something with that shade. Hehe.

After lunch, we went around the Sky Park...

After checking the Sky Park, we went to Mother's Crepe & Cafe at the 4th level to eat some crepes...

We strolled again in the mall for about an hour then we decided to go home already. But... but... but... before we headed back home, my dad bought some delicious breads at OVN Bread Co. for our take out.

Mama G even commented "Wow, may libreng pasyal na may pabaon pa!" (Wow, a free trip with a matching free takout!) Well, Papa G was in the mood to splurge that day. Hehe! =)

That's our malling turned into food trip at SM Aura! =)

Dahil sa Siomai...

Every lunch time, my dad and I (sometimes with my hubby and brother) eat together here in the office. We bring baon. Hindi naman sa pagiging kuripot, practical lang kami. Mas masarap ata ang baon, solve na solve ka compared naman kapag bumili ka sa fastfood - mahal na, bitin pa at very unhealthy.

Today, my brother unexpectedly joined us for lunch. I checked out our baon, kasya naman. We have PI Adobo (mapapamura ka sa anghang) and Salmon Steak. Then suddenly, my dad's yaya, Manang Susan, (well, we call her his yaya since she is attending to all my dad's needs in the office) went inside the room with a plateful of siomai. Nagulat ako kasi I didn't instruct her to cook it for us. So I told her "Oh, bakit nagluto ng siomai???" My dad answered back, "Ako nag-utos!" Then being so maloko with Manang Susan, I jokingly told her "Si Manang Susan kasi eh, pakialamera!"

My dad took it seriously, as in super! He got mad at me...He raised his voice... and made some bad decisions based on emotions....I really got hurt...Being an emotional person too, I also said something back to my dad that made him more mad at me. Haaayyysttt...in short, nag-away na naman kami...at dahil yun sa SIOMAI!!!

Anyway, naglabas ako ng sama ng loob by crying. Kaya ngayon maga na naman ang mga mata ko. Nang mahimasmasan ako, I did the right thing. I went back to my dad's room and said sorry to him. He said sorry rin sa akin. After hearing a short sermon from him, bati na ulit kami.

BTW, I heard, mainit na talaga ang ulo ng dad ko nung morning, sa akin lang sumabog....haaaysssttt....ang buhay nga naman, parang life...
