Going to Carnivals

We never had a chance to go to a carnival as a family. Back when we are in the country, I wanted to bring the kids to "Star City", its a carnival that is open in the afternoon till 1 in the morning. There are lots of rides, and entertainment and some free no deposit bingo.

What I love in carnivals are the rides over than free bingo no deposit though I love to play that, but kids can't play that so we rather buy it popcorn. Kids love the rides, they have no fright. They can ride anything for kids without hesitation. The scariest thing they have done already was the 'cable car' i Tagaytay and they loved it! I wish we could find a carnival here and visit sometime as a family this time. We have some plan on going back to Texas again this coming 4th  of July  but I have no idea yet where we will go in particular. Any place will do for us but carnival with no deposit bingo is also cool, though we don't have idea where.  Let's see If I can play bingo no deposit if that time comes.

Tagaytay Weekend Getaway

Just got home from Tagaytay....not in the plan, just came out in my mind since hubby wants to bring the kids somewhere and I suggested tagaytay =)

It was fun! My kids really did enjoy it! I also enjoyed it very much even the two hour travel is fun especially if you're looking at the surroundings after SLEX.
We arrived there exactly for lunch, the we rented 2 horses for an hour.
My kiddos love it! They love it especially when the horse is running fast. My kids are very adventurous! They love trying new things. Next with horse back riding is CABLE Car.
My kids enjoyed it too! I thought they'll be scared but NO! They are more excited than us and they were complaining because they wanted more! Gosh! I was very amazed with my kids. I know hubby and I were both adventurous but I never thought that in their age they could able to do such things already =)
I love it! I really love it! Hope we could try more new and fun things in the future! =)

Here's more pics of us...view my 15th Photobook for more photos =)

My Experience During Typhoon Ondoy

Last Saturday, My son Ethan and I went to San Lazaro Hospital because of the cat bite he got last Friday night. I have to bring him there because I wanted to have his anti rabies injection immediately. I know there is a typhoon that day, and I also know there would be no passenger jeeps but I still did try to get one. Thank goodness we did able to ride a jeep going to Monumento. But when we reach Monumento, most of the streets we're all flooded. We don't have any choice but to walk hoping we could get another jeep going to San Lazaro via JP Rizal Avenue. Sadly there were no more jeeps in the streets. Most of the vehicles I am seeing that time were private cars only trying to pass in that overflowing floods in the streets. So I carried Ethan and crossed Samson road to be able to go to LRT station coz that's the only ride available that time. The flood was very scary. I feel like the it's going to pull my feet. I am afraid for my Son if ever I slipped or something. But then thank God for He didn't let anything bad happen to us. So we rode LRT going to Bambang and then we just walked to San Lazaro coz it's between Tayuman and Bambang stations. Surprisingly floods are everywhere! I don't have choice but to walk in that dirty floods, all I wanted that time is to bring my Son to San Lazaro Hospital. I don't care if has typhoon as long as I can take care of my son and he's not getting into danger. When we reach the Hopsital I am already happy that my son has already given the needed injection. We have to return again on the 30th of September. When were about to go home, I didn't try to go home in Malabon yet for I know that there will be no way to go home. There are no Jeeps and even trucks coz the floods are really high. I just headed to my Aunt's house in 2nd Avenue Caloocan. We stayed there until Sunday morning. I thought that day is already end of the World. I was worried because my family is not complete. Me and Ethan was in caloocan and my hubby and daughter were in Malabon. I hate that scenario. I hate being away from my Family when there's a calamity like that. If I were not in Christian Family that day, I wouldn't be able to act strong. I will be worrying more if there is no more communications between me and my husband. God is really Good! I hope other typhoon victims will have faith also. I hope they're okay now. I know everything will back to normal soon. God Bless Us!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

It's daddy's birthday yesterday! He renewed his driver's license and didn't go to work. We didn't celebrate his birthday yesterday for he is about to celebrate his birthday tonight. Some of his friends were coming here at home. It's just a simple celebration. I don't know how to cook so I just ordered some miki bihon at Judy Ann's Crispy Pata and I'll be picking it up later. I asked my mom to cook fried chicken and lumpiang shanghai. I will also try to have some menudo. We are so busy this day because it's also my brother's wedding to be held at kentucky fried chicken at 2 in the afternoon. We have to go home at 5 in the afternoon so I could still prepare for my hubby's birthday celebration. I am so busy the whole week organizing these events. Hope everything will turn out okay. I am thinking of buying some cake later. My kids would love it if their dad have a cake and a candle to blow. They are more excited than the celebrant. Oh well hope to finally finish all of these events, my next assignment after this will be my cart. I have to set it up already and have it all started. So daddy, happy birthday to you! Kids and I wishing you a good health. Hope you fulfill all your dreams and goals in life. We wanted you to have the best in this world. Hope he could also experience new things like attending golfreisen in any kind of golfkurse and even shop in any golfshop in this world. I know daddy has so many dreams for himself and for us. So for now daddy, we have to stay healthy so we could still do such things in time.

My Brother Is Finally Getting Married

My Brother Jessie James is finally getting married, atlast, after having a three kids with her long time live in partner Abegaile, their finally gonna make it legal. We as his family really wanted him to get married already. But there are some reasons why they weren't married yet until now. We came from a poor family, my brother didn't finish his college that's why he doesn't have a permanent job. He's only a contractual crew that can't afford to finance even a simplest wedding. My Mom doesn't have a job and I already have my own family so can't help him with such things anymore. We were actually planning it for a long time but the big problem is MONEY. If only I could have enough money to finance his wedding, I will. But my income in only enough to help him with his kids schooling and some other important matters with regards to his kids needs. Thank God, my Uncle Junior gave him some help. Now we can start planning and try to look for other sponsors for other things to be needed in the wedding. I think God will help find a way. My brother and my sister in-law to be were done with their marriage contract application and seminar. All they have to do is get rest, take care of their children while I'm organizing their wedding. Good luck to me!
