A Simple Celebration of Christoff's 4th Month

Bago pa magpang-abot ang monthly birthday celebration ni Christoff bukas, ishare ko na sa inyo ang happenings namin during his 4th month.

Here is Christoff at 4th month...

He's such a charming and bungisngis baby. Yun nga lang, hindi siya masyadong makatagal kapag nawawala ako sa pang-amoy niya. Iiyak na yan na parang walang bukas. Gusto niya kasi lagi nakatabi sa akin. I dunno. Maybe because I'm directly breastfeeding (DBF) him. Sabi nga nila, mas-close ang baby sa mommy kapag DBF.

Anyway, we had a very simple celebration and, as usual, last minute ulit. We waited pa kasi for hubby to arrive eh and nasa kanya yung mga food.

We just had Max's fried chicken, Max's cake and spaghetti carbonara...

Here is the birthday boy with his monthly birthday cake...

and of course, our family picture...

at siyempre, di matatapos ang celebration without the Kulilits blowing Christoff's candle...

So that's it. That's how we celebrated Christoff's 4th month birthday. Tomorrow kaya, during his 5th month, ano kaya ang handa namin???

Goodies from Lolo Em & Lola Es

The spoiled boys got some goodies again from their Lolo Em and Lola Es.

Onesies for little Christoff...

Diced hopia for kopia face Ian...

and PJs for the Kulilits...

Thank you again Lolo Em and Lola Es! =)

More Kid's Church Arts & Crafts

Sharing you the other works of the Kulilits from the Kid's Church that I documented...

Ang dami right? And super nakakaaliw! I document their works para hindi nakakahinayang if ever idispose ko yung works nila in the future. Ako kasi si senti girl eh. Yung tipong tinatago halos lahat. Sooner or later need ko din talaga magdeclutter eh baka kasi mamaya mapagkamalang museum ang bahay namin. Hehe. =)

Midnight Snack at IHOP

Gaya ng sinabi ko in my previous blog post, nag-midnight snack kami sa IHOP. Wala lang, trip lang. As simple as that. Hehe.

Buti na lang at tapos na ang fad about IHOP. Naalala ko nun, usap-usapan na malapantera sa haba ang pila dito. Hindi nga kami nakiuso at nakipila. Hindi kasi namin makita yung point eh. Sa US kasi, common lang naman siya same as Denny's Restaurant. In short, first time namin kumain ng IHOP dito sa Pinas. Hehe!

Here is the facade of the restaurant...

Here are my boys goofing around while waiting for our food...

We ordered the following:

Freshly-Brewed Iced Tea...

Onion Rings...

Pick-A-Pancake Combo with New York Cheesecake Pancakes...

Spinach and Mushroom Omelettes with Buttermilk Pancakes ...

Again, our family picture...

So how's our IHOP experience?

The food serving - The serving is "supposedly" American size. If I compare it to the IHOP in US, the serving here is not that big.

The food quality & taste - About the original Buttermilk Pancakes, definitely there are no questions asked. Masarap talaga and very filling. Basta mabigat siya sa tiyan. For the New York Cheesecake pancakes, we find it too rich. Medyo nakakaumay. For my omelette, I loved it! Sarap, sarap! =) Sa order naman ni hubby, mukhang ok naman kasi naubos niya eh. Hehe! By the way, I really liked the freshly-brewed iced tea also.

The price - As expected, medyo pricey siya. Sabi ko nga kay hubby, ang mahal ng midnight snack namin. Hehe.

The place - we stayed at the lowest floor since we brought Christoff with us. Ok naman ang setup ang drawback lang is medyo hindi maganda yung ventilation kaya medyo amoy food kami pagkatapos namin mag-eat.

So that's our midnight snacking experience! =)

A Night at Seda Hotel Bonifacio Global City

About last week of March, hubby was invited to attend a conference at one of the function rooms at The Mind Museum. So, as part of the package, we stayed at Seda Hotel in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Actually, I already mentioned about it in one of my blog entries (click here).

Kung hindi dahil sa conference ni hubby, hindi ko malalaman na may existing pala na Seda Hotel sa BGC. Hindi ko rin naman kasi napapansin whenever we go there eh. Usually kasi puro condo ang mga structures sa BGC.

Anyway, Seda Hotel is a 4-star hotel. Hindi naman siya ganung kalakihan pero it was nice there and very near Serendra, Bonifacio High Street and Market! Market!.

Let me show you some of the pictures that I took.

Here is our hotel room. We got the one with two double beds. Spot the Kulilits! Haha!

The TV and work area...

The wardrobe cabinet and the mini bar...

The bathroom...

Shower Area

Toiletries

Here is the view from our room...

After mag-ayos ayos ng mga gamit namin, I made the Kulilits take their naps kaagad so that they can swim in the afternoon. Yun nga lang, medyo napasarap ang kanilang tulog kaya gabi na sila nagising. But that did not stop them! Ayun, nagswimming pa rin ang mga makukulit.

Here is the pool area. Small lang siya pero it's nice there.

Here are the Kulilits enjoying their swimming time...

The boys did not swim that much. It was super cold kasi eh tapos malakas pa ang hangin. Kaya ayun, akyat ulit kami sa room and just waited for hubby to arrive.

When hubby arrived, he had this as his pasalubong to the boys...

It was their ultimate favorite wafer sticks - Royal Dansk Luxury Wafers. It was given to him by the med rep. Something to munch daw inside the hotel room. Hehe!

Since mga wala kaming magawa that night and kami ay pamilyang dilat sa gabi, we decided to eat midnight snack at IHOP (International House of Pancakes)...

The following day, we had our breakfast in the hotel since our stay has a complimentary breakfast for two.

The hotel's dining area is just small so we had to wait for quite some time. While waiting, I took some more pictures of the hotel.

Here's the front desk...

Here's the back part of the hotel...

The hotel's dining area...

We had our breakfast al fresco. Good enough to get some morning sun. Hehe.

After breakfast, we went back to our hotel room and prepared for our trip to The Mind Museum.

That's it! Watch our for my separate blog post about our midnight snack at IHOP and our trip to The Mind Museum. =)

Another Picnic Sunday

Since we really enjoyed the experience that we had the first time we went to the football field in Daanghari, we went there again. If you're going to ask when, just don't ask na kasi isa rin ito sa nabaon na kwento ko. Haha. =)

So there we went one Sunday afternoon. And this time, we were prepared na. We brought with us a picnic mat and baon. As in picnic picnic talaga kami. Tapos ang mga boys, pinagjogging pants ko and rubber shoes dahil alam ko na magtatakbuhan sila. Hehe. =) Aside from that, hubby asked my in-laws to join us. Kaya ayun, ang saya saya namin that day.

Here are some of our pictures that day:

Ian with Satchi...

So that's it! More kwentos to come...
