When his teacher told Dylan that he'll be going up the stage to receive a medal, he was so happy and he said, "Wow, I'm going to be like Ate Dana!"

It's that time of the year again! It may be a cliche but time really flies and you end up being surprised because, here it is, one year of studies have just ended and summer vacation is just around the corner.
For Dylan, today marked his Recognition Day and he's excited about going up the stage and getting his medals. :)

Celebrating Dylan's birthday in school
18 March 2019
You know how they say that your children's teachers are their 2nd parents? It's true in Dylan's case.
They prepared these decorations for him despite the hectic schedule that everyone was in because the school decided to advance their Recognition Day and there was hardly any time for detailed preparations.
So, Dylan, Happy Birthday and you're so lucky to have Teachers like T. Ressie, T. Joyce and T. Sitti who have taken care of you this year :)

Double Cause for Celebration: Big Bad Wolf in Manila and Dana's Birthday
03 March 2019
One of the biggest book events that we always look forward to is the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale. If you haven't heard of it, it's a week-long event that's open for 24 hours with tons of books on sale. This year, it was held between Feb 22 and march 4 and we went twice :)
Also, the 2nd day that we went coincided with Dana's birthday and this was where she wanted to spend it so Hurrah for books! :)
Check out our "haul" from the two days at the Big Bad Wolf :)

Celebrating Family Day at the Kids' Respective Schools
2019 February/March
This February, the kids were busy with their respective celebrations of Family Day in their schools.
The highlight of Dana's Family Day is their award-winning performance of their Hip Hop Dance number.

Gulu Gulu PH at Savemore Nagtahan, Manila
28 February 2019
As you may know, we are always in search of new restaurants that serve delicious food. It's always an adventure to try new dishes and new locations together.I learned that a new Takoyaki store, Gulu Gulu PH opened last February 25 at our local neighborhood supermarket, Savemore Nagtahan. It was exciting because it was near and pretty accessible and also, we're fans of Takoyaki.
So here are some pictures of the place and what we ordered during our trip.

Re-visiting the National Museum of Anthropology (2019)
26 January 2019
We've been to the Museum of Anthropology before, in 2016 (read about it here), but while there were staple exhibits, like the San Diego, Bangsamoro and Lumad exhibits, there were also a few new additions, like the Garing (Ivory Trade), Biyay (about the Negrito Community), Entwined Spheres (Baskets and Mats as containers), the Pina-Seda (Pineapple and Silk Cloth) and the San Isidro Shipwreck.
Prepare 2 hours to walk around the Museum of the Filipino People.

Travel: Baguio Trip 2018
26 November 2018
So after two years, we're back in Baguio again. This was kind of a spur-of-the-moment trip so we didn't really have any concrete plans about where to go or what to do.
What was definite was our lodging during our trip and we booked at Camp Riverside 2600.
We just went to the usual spots and stopped at the Lion's Head and Tam-awan Village since we haven't been there before.

04 November 2018
The L Square Hotel in Tarlac was our home for 3 days and 2 nights, from November 02 to November 04 due to a death in the family that brought us back to this city.
We had a pleasant enough stay and this post will highlight what we loved about the place and will also include some bits of it that could be improved.
L Square Hotel is located at KM 120, MacArthur Highway, Barangay San Rafael, Tarlac City.

2018 National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation (NDPR) Week
26 July 2018
Actually, the NDPR week was originally scheduled for July 17-23. Unfortunately, the Philippines was beseiged by typhoons and strong southwest monsoon rains which led to the suspension of classes during most of this week.
They were only able to do their Arts and Crafts activity on Thursday and the rest of the activities were scheduled today. Dylan spent the past couple of days practicing with his other SPED schoolmates for a dance routine they were scheduled to perform for everyone. :)
The NDPR week is meant to spread awareness about the different disabilities, like Autism, Hearing Impairment, Intellectual Disability among others and to help people understand that "We are Different, But Not Less".

Dylan at the Shakey's Junior Pizza Master activity at Shakey's Espana
30 June 2018
Thanks to Augustine's Mama Daria, Dylan was treated to Shakey's Junior Pizzamaster activity and he had a great time creating his own pizza.
For P499, kids are given their very own toque and apron, their individual ingredients and materials, a glass of iced tea and a certificate for completing the activity. Also, they can either eat their pizza at the restaurant or bring it home with them.
The workshop is roughly 2 hours long. After the kids create their pizza and the staff brings these pizza to the kitchen for baking, the crew entertains the kids with games where they can also win prizes.
I can understand why they can't bring the kids to the ovens, it's just for safety consideration. :)
Anyway, we'll share the details for the rest of the post so read on! :)

Attending Augustine's Birthday in Shakey's Espana
19 August 2018
It's always a treat being invited to a friend's birthday and Dylan was pretty excited to meet up with his classmates again.
The invitation was given last March when there were still classes and we immediately put the date in our calendar so we wouldn't forget.
The kids had a great time and they can't wait to see each other again when school starts. Happy Birthday Augustine! :)

Another reunion with the Paypon clan
08 April 2018
Today was the last big meet-up among the Paypon clan. We were invited to Betty's Sansrival Restaurant in Quezon City by my cousin.
It was a chance to gather the members of the clan who weren't in Calayan or who weren't able to make it to Calayan to meet up with everyone else.

07 April 2018
Today we celebrated Sam's 3rd birthday at Kenny Rogers Katipunan.
Despite just coming home from almost a day's travel from Calayan Island, the Paypon clan saw each other again here and it's like we aren't tired at all. I guess that's what family is all about :)
Happy birthday Sam! Thanks for the invite Sil and Sally! :)
