Occasionally, Patrick would leave us to cover a Press Conference while at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS). We would find ourselves wandering around the Main Hall and the rest of the exhibits until he finished his work. I think the last time we attended a Press Conference as a family was for the Manila Speed Show with Marlon Stockinger. This time, we were allowed to attend Mazda's Luncheon Press Conference and what a blast we had! :)2017 MIAS: We attended the Mazda Press Conference on the new Mazda MX-5RF

2017 MIAS: 13th Annual Manila International Auto Show
02 April 2017
We've always gone to the annual Manila International Auto Shows. This time, it's a bit special because it's Patrick's first MIAS event that he's covering under the Carmudi group. Though the event itself goes on for four days (March 30 - April 02) at the World Trade Center, we only came with him on the last day. But still, we all were excited at seeing all these brand new cars! :)

01 April 2017
When you have a car as awesome as the Toyota 86 delivered to your home (in our case, as a test drive vehicle) what will you do? Well, of course! Take it for a spin! I remember the last time we had a Toyota 86 for a week, Patrick really did take it for a spin - drifting it at a parking lot no less! But, we're not doing that again. Instead, we just went for our favorites - Lego and great burgers at Charlie's Grind and Grill (Pasig).

18 March 2017
Dylan's birthday came bright and early. We all had a hand in choosing the activities for Dylan's birthday and everyone was just itching to get on with the plans. It was rather hard to narrow down the choices because, after all, we just wanted Dylan to have what he wants but due to time and financial constraints, naturally we had to compromise. The following post tells of what we ended up with.

Celebrating Dana's birthday at Sambokojin!! :)
03 March 2017
Today, we celebrated Dana's birthday after finishing up with Dylan's doctor's check-up. When asked what she wanted to do for her birthday, there was no hesitation when she responded, "Sambokojin!". I guess, she enjoyed herself so much the last time we were there she wanted to experience it again. So, we all went back, together with Den and Edwin!
It also helped that Sambokojin has a Birthday Treat Promo :)

The ANA Yose 2017: Rakugo in English event at the RCBC Plaza
19 February 2017
On February 19, Dana and I were fortunate to have won tickets to the ANA Yose 2017 - Rakugo in English show held at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium in RCBC Plaza. Rakugo is a 400-year old Japanese sit-down comedy tradition where the performer, armed only with a fan and an oversized towel, enacts hilarious stories that fire up the imagination. This year's performance headlines Rakugo Master Kaishi Katsura with Asakichi Katsura (Rakugo Master), Eika Utsumi (Shamisen Musical Performer) and Lucky Mai (Traditional Comic performer).

20 February 2017
I can't even begin to describe how hectic this week has been. For as long as I can remember, this has been the first and only time when my week has been packed with get-togethers with friends. So, I'm putting together all of these events in one blog post hehe It's really nice to catch up with friends, whether they're High School mates or former co-workers. It's fun!

28 January 2017
Star City is a theme park located at the CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila. It provides hours of enjoyable, thrilling rides, games, entertainment and dining experience for the whole family. The last time we were here, the kids were still young and so weren't able to experience the more adventurous rides. Now, we were given 50% discounted tickets and we braved the throng of people on the last weekend of January. Read about how we fared :)
2016 Christmas Celebrations are made special because of FAMILY!
25 December 2016
For a while, the spirit of Christmas waned in our household because, really, the whole of 2016 has been more of "downs" than "ups". But, it's not in our nature to let that get us down for a long time so we rallied and with the help of Family and Framily (Friends who are Family), Christmas was a blast!
It's not about the gifts - they're very much appreciated but it's really the thought that counts. It's the presence, and sadly, the absence of the important people in our lives that make celebrating Christmas all the more worthwhile.

Fun Finds at the Christmas Toys and Collectibles 2016
17 December 2016
As Christmas approaches, I pay particular attention to the bazaars and toy fairs that are being held. I've already inked the Christmas Toys and Collectibles Fair 2016 on my calendar as soon as I saw their ads. I didn't really have any particular toy in mind but it's always a joy to browse. I just hated that it was in SM Megamall because parking is terrible there haha So, entrance was P100/head and off we went!
