Everyone woke up early excited to attend Daniel's 1st Birthday party. The invitation from Donna and Brian, whose wedding we also attended in 2012 and which I wrote about here, mentioned that the schedule for the party was 1030AM to 3PM and I knew then that it was going to be a blast, much like their wedding. So, we all trooped to the car and anticipated a great day (which it was) and read on to see what happened at the party!Daniel's First Birthday party

My Little Pony Pez candies at Daiso Robinsons Manila
Last Friday, Patrick and I went to watch Heneral Luna in Robinsons Manila and you can read more about it in this post. After the movie, we still had errands to run and ended up going to Daiso at the Ground Floor in the Padre Faura wing. We were pleased to see these My Little Pony Pez candies there. Naturally we went for Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle but there was also a Pinkie Pie too. They were P88 each.
Watching Heneral Luna
Patrick and I don't often get to watch a movie by ourselves but when we first saw the trailer of Heneral Luna while watching Ant-Man with Dylan, we decided that it was something that we'd be interested in watching. That in itself is a big thing because we don't really watch Filipino movies. So, now we got a chance to watch Heneral Luna in Robinsons Manila.
Ibong Adarna screening at the AFP Theater
Today, the 5th and 6th Grade students of Dana's school went to the AFP Theater in Camp Aguinaldo to watch Gantimpala Theater's performance of Ibong Adarna. Dana was very excited to watch another play. A Day at the 2015 Toyota Vios Cup Season 2

Sam YG and Rhian Ramos, hosts of Full Throttle, were there for the ribbon-cutting and to get the ball rolling :)
Partially-opened mail from the Philippine Post Office
Today, my aunt handed over to me a letter for Dana from her friend in the United States. Since it's been so long since I actually received a letter, and though I know that this one isn't exactly mine, it still made me wax nostalgic for a moment. Until I saw that most irreverent stamp from the Philippine Post Office - Received Partially Open ...Rak of Aegis: An Astounding, Amazing Show!
Rak of Aegis is :
"A rock comedy musical using the songs of Aegis will tackle Filipino resilience, or how the country faces and resolves compromising situations, whether this be a natural disaster or a broken heart. Set in a subdivision that has been flooded for two months, “Rak of Aegis” will revolve around the love interests of the main characters, whose names are derived from those of Aegis band members as a tribute to the Filipino novelty rock group that made waves 90’s."
Food: Revisiting the newly renovated Taco Bell in Cubao
In my previous post, we were already in Cubao and we needed to eat fast if we didn't want to be late for the 3PM showing of Rak of Aegis. So we decided to eat at Taco Bell since we passed it on the way from the Gateway Parking to the Fukuda Outlet Center. New Remote Controller from Fukuda Factory Outlet and Repair Center
Last Sunday, we decided to take a trip to Cubao and finally visit the Fukuda Factory Outlet and Repair Center near Farmers Market and get the replacement DVD remote controller I ordered about two weeks ago. I figured since Dana and I were headed to the Rak of Aegis musical later, we can make the most out of the day.Kids: Enjoying a Mini Jigsaw Puzzle
Food: Papa John's 2 Family Pizzas All-In for P495 treat
Last August 19, the kids and I decided to order pizza for dinner. We settled on Papa John's Pizza because they were offering this Duo Saver - 2 Family Pizzas for P495. Now, considering that most pizzas cost P400 each for a Family-sized pizza, this deal is a bargain. But, you do have a certain selection of flavors to choose from: Italiano, Cheese Trio, John's Special, Cheesy Margherita and Bacon Cheeseburger. We chose Cheese Trio (the kids love cheese) and Bacon Cheeseburger (because it was a new flavor).Food: Used OpenSnap to search for Yoshinoya in Glorietta #ShareSnap
Last August 9, we all went to Glorietta to visit the
Camerahaus branch so that they can check the Fuji camera that Patrick won as a
prize. We thought at first that the
memory card was at fault but we already had it replaced twice, so maybe it was
the camera that had a problem. But it
turned out that it was the memory card – for some reason, it required a 32GB
memory card for it to work, we only used a 16GB. So, Patrick was very happy to have got it
right this time.
At first, we were getting really stressed when the day
started because the kids were taking too long getting ready and then when we
reached Glorietta, Dana’s shoe broke and she had to keep dragging it across the
floor to be able to walk and finally having to buy her new shoes at Bench (it
was the closest). I thought the day was
getting too stressful.
But after the camera got fixed (though it wasn’t really
broken), it was time for lunch and we weren’t familiar with the dining choices
in Glorietta (we haven’t been back in a long time) so it was a good thing we
have the OpenSnap app on our phones.
Rather than having to find a customer service desk to ask for food
choices or even having to go looking for a directory just to view the list of
restaurants, this app allowed us to view all the available restaurants and
dining choices in Makati. We can even
search by restaurant name for a more specialized search.
Since it was raining that day, we wanted something cozy and
soothing. The closest restaurant that fulfilled our needs was Yoshinoya and it
was great because we haven’t tried it before.
I liked that it was bright and airy and at that time, there were still a
lot of seats available. We all had
ramen, Chashu and Chicken, and some California maki. We liked the green tea beverage that came
with the dish. I also have to mention
that I liked their bathroom because it had a bidet, was huge and was clean. We all felt rejuvenated after our meal. :)
Thanks to OpenSnap for helping us find the restaurant so fast :)
