01 January 2016

Wow! It's 2016! Time to get used to writing that in all documents with a date on it haha  We welcomed the New Year from our home.  Dylan was asleep though we tried to wake him up :) Let me make a recap of 2015...

Pyromusical Competition at the Mall of Asia

February 28, 2010


Last February 21, 2010,  Den and her friends were resting at the house after their "Unending Race", a type of Fun Run event to commemorate their last field work for their CWTS (Civic Welfare Training Service) class.  Den ran the 2k bit while Philip her boyfriend won the 5K run.  Being the great Aunt that I am (wahahaha) we all went out and treated Philip to dinner at JT's Manukan Grille in San Juan.    He hasn't been able to eat there (their chicken inasal is to die for!) so we all trooped there and had a great time! :)

After that, Patrick suggested that we all visit Mall of Asia so that we can watch the First Pyromusical Competition.  We didn't expect to see such a huge crowd and Patrick ended up having to drive around for a place to park while we went to look for a good spot to watch.  We found a good vantage point (even though it's free) and the kids all had a great time watching the fireworks display.  The UK and China were the countries participating for that week and it was really worth the watch! :)  So naturally, we checked the schedule of the next performances and we made plans to be there for the next ones.  

The next batch of competition involved France and Japan on the 28th.  Patrick was fortunate enough to get free tickets from Hooters (really!) so that we have a better vantage point this time.  Since the show was scheduled to start at 7PM, we had dinner at Hooters, of course! :)  It was also the first time we've seen so many yachts so close to the breakwater - they're out to watch the fireworks too! :)

So we had dinner at Hooters while waiting for the show to start.  We had bottomless drinks, onion rings, Buffalo Wings, hamburgers and chicken with fries for the kids.

The kids were really preoccupied when the show started.  They were really loving the Japan part of the show because the fireworks exhibited  lots of smiley faces and recognizable characters.

All in all, it was a great and exciting night for everyone!

Out of the house at last!

Yesterday, Saturday, we were finally able to get out of the house for a trip to the mall.. It's been while since we went out for fun because we've been out of funds hahahaha and going to the mall is not part of the budget LOL

Well, the kids and I were so excited even though we're just going window shopping but at least it gets us out of the house hehehehe

So we went to SM Mall of Asia!! We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant.. we hadn't eatern there before so that was an adventure.. but they cooked the food real well!! Yummy! Oishi!!! and the California Maki was so fresh!! we loved it!!


We also bought a mouse for the PC and hope that this one lasts.. the last one we bought, it didn't even last a week! and to think it was a bit expensive and branded

We also went to the Promenade along the Manila Bay...there was a small playground for kids and a water fountain and that's where the fireworks show happens every Friday and Saturday.. It was a blast!

We also did some grocery shopping and went home at around 8:30PM haha boy, were we all tired out.. my feet were aching from all that walking.. hahahah I'm getting old!!!
