Explore Manila, the Philippines and the World!

The highlight of our December, aside from celebrating the birth of Jesus and Christmas is our trip to Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. Will post more about it soon!

It was indeed a great year for us, looking forward to more adventures in 2013!!!

The highlight of our 2012 November would be AA’s 4th birthday! She had two parties – one at school and the other at home with a few friends. And before that, we went to two birthday parties which were also made our November enjoyable!

YES, November was another party-filled month that’s why we love, love this month too! ♥

Just like what we always do in Octobers, we went to a couple of Trick or Treats, halloween and birthday parties this month! It was the busiest month but also the most enjoyed by the whole family. ♥

Oh yes, it was a busy party month but we definitely ALL had a blast!

Of course as September being my birthday month, I would always make sure that we do something special this month. This time we went for a quick getaway at Thunderbird Rizal.

It was a welcome break after being so busy with work, school and other activities with the kids.

We are so thankful that we were able to get away even for just one night. My kids had a great time and were looking forward to going back again hopefully next year.

We didn’t travel for the month of August but the highlight of this month was our Sunset BBQ Buffet at Sofitel to celebrate my birthday with my family!

Food was just OK not as satisfying as the Spirals buffet but the company and the bonding with my sister, brother, Aunt, Hubby and kids were the best. Perfect to celebrate my birthday! ♥

Our July was packed because it was the Hubby’s birthday month! But the highlight of the month was the get together with our friends, his birthday dinner at Roboto San and our cozy dinner at Eleven Tables.

Sumptuous dinner at Roboto San, The Fort.

Cheese Fondue and the S’mores are the reason why we will go back to Eleven Tables.

The highlight of our June was our dinner at Vikings TWICE!

First was to celebrate the inlaws’ anniversary and second was to celebrate our nephew’s 14th birthday. Both of these occassions were definitely unforgettable!

We all LOVE Vikings!

For the month of May, we went to Laguna to celebrate Mother’s Day with my favorite Mommy friends! We stayed at La Triel Resort, Laguna for a night. Boy, it was a RIOT!

The place was perfect for the group. I would love to come back again next summer! (*wink*)

The month of April marks the official summer vacation of the kids and what makes it extra special is the three trips that we had this month! Yes, you read it right, we had three trips this month – we spent our Holy Week in Bicol, we spent the last few days of the month in Singapore and we spent a day trip to Fontana Waterpark in Clarkfield, Pampanga!

We spent the entire Holy Week in Bicol and we did nothing but eat, swim and bond. ♥

After a week, we were invited by my sister to her family day at work. We went to Fontana at Clarkfield Pampanga and all I can say is that it was MAJOR fun!

And, before the month ended, we all went to Singapore with the in laws for a weekend getaway.

Singapore grew on me already, after going there for a lot of times now. I used to not like the city because of its busyness and stressful environment. I guess I haven’t explored everything there yet. We should go back next year!

March was pretty special for us because my Mom came home from the States. We all went to Surigao del Norte to have a getaway. My brother who is working in Singapore came home to travel with us and my brother who is living in Mindanao travelled 8 hours by bus to be with us too! It was one fun getaway we will never forget!

Surigao was one of the best islands we’ve ever been so far. It was definitely one memorable trip we will never forget! ♥
