Sunday afternoons are perfect. They are perfect for staying at home, watching TV, surfing the Net, taking naps, or just chillaxing. They are also perfect for rousing ourselves from laziness and doing something together as a family. I was excited when I learned that National Museum has waived its entrance fee for the whole month of May in celebration of National Heritage Month. At last, my hubby Rix and I could bring the kids to a museum! But, as you know, we ended up in Museo Pambata for two … [Read more...]
Easter Egg Hunt at Universal Studios Singapore, Cymplified!
The warm Black Saturday morning promised a sunny afternoon as our group gathered near the entrance of Universal Studios Singapore. Ella pulled on my hand as she was very excited to go in. But let's take a photo first in front of the large rotating globe fountain! Oh, and plenty more photos ahead. Just a warning! Mommy confession: Ella has never been on an Easter Egg Hunt before. It had become a trend in the Philippines for kids to go on one at the end of Holy Week. Much like the … [Read more...]
Arriving At Singapore, Cymplified!
If you are following me on Instagram, you might have guessed where I went last Holy Week. We took Singapore Airlines, one of the world's top airlines according to www.worldairlineawards.com. The flight was smooth and uneventful.The footrest was one of the best features of the plane, hehe! I love the very recent selection of on-board movies. Ella took advantage of the Disney TV shows for children. Don't know why, but I chose the movie Love, Rosie. Have you seen it? For me, it's a … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Manila Ocean Park, Cymplified!
During this time, my son was very into sea animals. There was an app called ABC Aquarium which he loved. It supplemented his knowledge of the alphabet. His letter A stands for anemone, his B is for beluga, and his C is for coral, etc. I knew he would enjoy if we visited Manila Ocean Park. This was also a post birthday treat for him and his achi. Glad there was an online deal, although, it's sad that some were not operational. These were the attractions that we visited and the shows that we … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Fun Farm at Sta. Elena, Cymplified!
My wish to visit this Fun Farm at Sta. Elena in Laguna came true when we headed to the South one day. I thought it would be fun to let the children experience being outdoors and on a farm. They like animals. Never mind that there were carabao dung piles scattered about, it's quite fun and funny for them, actually. My kids, they laugh at even mere mention of poop! Our first stop was the bunny and guinea pig feeding area. The fluffy creatures were so adorable! I missed my pet rabbits. There was … [Read more...]
Sun-kissed In December, Cymplified!
December was a flurry of shopping and soirées, and sometimes, lunches. Add to that Ella and Caleb's Christmas break, and it had seemed that every new toy (gift) at home will be played with. Good thing there was a respite from "cabin fever", and this breather was planned by my hubby Rix. It was an out-of-town trip back to Pico de Loro. I was happy for the kids, because they could go swimming and play by the beach. :-) The hours waiting for the sun to hide before we could swim again … [Read more...]
Family Getaway: Aurora Adventure {part 2}, Cymplified!
Ditumabo Falls We were told to finish our breakfast by 8 o' clock, even though we weren't planning on going on the trek itself. I was thinking that maybe I could just catch a glimpse of the falls... They were going on a trek to Ditumabo Falls dubbed as Mother Falls in Aurora. They were going to cross the streams with large, slippery rocks and maybe even wade through water. We climbed aboard the vans, around four for our large group, and cruised through coconut trees and rice fields. When we … [Read more...]
