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).
I started this blog as an alternative to talking to my mom who died so suddenly. It has evolved since then as an online journal for my family's adventures and misadventures - our travels, our dining out, our entertainment and so much more! Feel free to leave your reactions :)
Get-togethers Galore: A Week of Meet-ups with Great Friends
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!

First Family Outing of 2017 : Star City at the CCP Complex
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!
