our 1week pinas vacation
i was really looking forward to this because the last time i went home was august2005 so it's almost 2years! *as if pinas is so far away hehehe* anyway, we were saving so much for noah's coming and our supposedly wedding this december. oh and by the way, our wedding is postponed until further notice.
so going home was more on catching up with families, friends and relatives. also it's noah's 1st time to show himself up to the whole lee and garillo clan so that was really something that everyone looked forward to. it was scorching hot in pinas and being in tarlac was like being heated in an oven toaster as in! hehehe! in manila, well it's somewhat bearable but we took a cab to almost all our destinations.
we visited our favorite megamall *which we don't consider our favorite anymore.. i don't know what happened to that place. it was under construction when we visited it so it kinda lost its touch in our hearts*. we also checked out mall of asia, we wanna know whats the fuss about this mall. we never had the chance to exactly know why because just going around two buildings made us tired to the tiniest nerves and we gave up. then we tried to visit greenhills shopping malls, unfortunately that time all tiangge we're going about with their monthly stall rotations so we just ended up going to robinsons galleria. not really that bad because we used to watch movies here most of the times. it was also dadi's 1st time to eat in terriyake boy and we really enjoyed it.
my friends and i decided to meet in the makati area so it was also a chance for us to visit sm makati *di naman kmi msyadong mka-SM ano? hehe*, glorieta, landmark and greenbelt. we weren't able to explore glorieta and landmark anymore. we had dinner at wendy's *yum yum bacon mushroom melt combo* then had coffee at seatle's best in greenbelt. i told my friends to let us give in with our taste buds since we missed the fastfood and coffee back home.
our kids enjoyed playing along with my sis kobe and bro jason. kobe and nixon made up for time that they were separated. on the other hand, noah was kinda difficult to feed and was losing weight. i guess he got stressed up from the heat and attention. lastly, we had our last minute shopping and grocery at sm north edsa. this mall is the nearest to our place so i know the shops by heart. we watched a movie here also, imagine the price difference! we ate at my favorite resto, sbarro, and tasted my fave cake and spaghetti in red ribbon. *sobrang pig out bwahahah!*.
leaving behind my family again was painful. my mom was into tears not only for me but for the kids as well. she really miss them a lot and would like to take care of them but unfortunately, my siblings need her more. as usual, queues and check-in with the pinas airport was tough. it almost took us two hours to finish and wait for the plane. we saw some familiar faces who were on the flight also.
all in all, it was a fun, sizzling hot, and fulfilling vacation. hopefully we'll have time to go back and have another get togethers with other friends that we missed out.
