Sunday Group Adventure: Discovering Laguna

You must know by now that I'm not good with words; so please bear with my photo blog instead ;)

From Wikipedia:

Pandin and Yambo are twin crater lakes separated by a narrow strip of land. They are part of the Seven Lakes system in San Pablo. The lakes can be found in Brgy. San Lorenzo, San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines.

Lake Pandin is said to be "the most pristine" of the seven lakes of San Pablo

One Weekend at Paradizoo

Being online has it perks :) One of that is joining and winning some online freebies like free entrance to wherever :P

My third win online is a free ride card on any rides under Zoomanity Group. So when I claim it in their creepy office, the very gracious Kirby gave me complimentary entrance tickets for four at Paradizoo, Tagaytay :)

Paradizoo

Syempre sino pa bang isasama pag zoo kung di ang mga makukulit na bata! Sumabit kami actually sa lakad ng aming ever-bait friend kasi sila ang naunang nanalo ng entrance tickets :)

The place is actually big for the few animals that we saw. But the ample space was filled not only with animals but various  plants and trees! Meron pang mini butterfly and bees farm. Kaya lang umulan-umabon nung nandun kami, the bees are in their bee house hahaha! Meron din silang maliit na pet-cemetery for some of the animal na inaalagaan nila pero nasa heaven na ;)

the sample camel, solid yan pero may totoong camel dito!

 
Ang mga nakita naming animals? Madaming goat, rabbit, love birds, baka na may 5 limbs, llama, sheep (meron pala dito?!), albino carabao, camels, mini-horses, donkey at lambs. Ang mga halamang nakilala ko dun ay Forget Me Not flowers, Mickey Mouse flowers, mga iba't ibang breed ng roses, sunflowers at iba't ibang puno like Akasya, Narra atbp :P (parang fieldtrip lang!)

mini-horses which can also be rented for Php30 pesos para sa kids

Picnic ba kamo?

Since nasa Tagaytay na rin kami, dumiretso na kami sa Picnic grove para magrelax ng konti bago umuwi. Ang mga makukulit? Ayun excited kumain at maglaro sa picnic hahahaha!

kain onti

play agad!

kunwari daw nasa Baguio sila

pang aliw ng batang makulit habang nagbe-breastfeed ako :)

Ang baon namin sa picnic? Mga pagkaing di child-friendly! hahahaha! Minsan-minsan lang naman :) Promise! Saka 3 balot lang yan ng chips na kasama kaming 4 na adults na nakipag-agawan sa mga bata hehehe












Here are the three playful and uber kulet girls na kasama namin. Sana paglaki nila tropa-tropa din sila kagaya naming mga parents nila :)












Syempre ang mag-ama ko, di magpapatalo sa picture taking! Humanap pa talaga ng background yan para dyan :)











Habang nandun kami sa Picnic Grove napansin ko na may  Makahiya sa paligid! At madami sila! AHA moment ng mga kids! hahahaha.. sino bang di natuwang maglaro ng mga Makahiya plants? :)












At dahil humahapon na, kailangan nang bumiyahe pauwi para di matraffic. Ang pang-bribe sa mga batang gusto pang maglaro? Mag fish feeding sa Nuvali! At isa pang libreng picture taking sa sosyal na subdivision sa tapat :)

ang ganda ng bahay na to :)

At dyan nagtatapos ang aming paglalakbay! Sa uulitin!

Bragging Lang

Goodness!!!

Di ko pa pala naiba-blog to :P

Late promotion! My kids were featured in one of my favorite mommy blogger, Mommy Fleur!

The Made-Up Me

Is composed of putting my BB cream from The Face Shop, some blush and a lipstick with lipbalm.

Yep - that's my everyday look.

my small make up stash

Minsan if I feel like wearing a more decent look, I put on some colors on the eyelids. Hulaan nyo kung ano? hehehehe the more natural brown/earth colors.

You see, I'm not the type of person na makolorete sa mukha. Nung nagdalaga ako (kelan ba yun?) di ko natutunang maglagay ng powder sa mukha. Mas na meron sa likod ko (parang baby) kesa sa face. Baket? Because I have oily face. Malamang kung pinilit kong maglagay ng face powder since time

immemorial tatad ng pimples ang mukha ko, na sobrang ayoko naman.

Kaya ang laman ng "vanity kit" ko sa simula't simula ay:  hairbrush, tissue, oil-control film at alcohol. Nung nagkawork na ako, nadagdagan ng pabango (see my small collection of perfume and colonges/body mists). Nakilala ako ng asawa ko na ganyan lang at ganyan ang dala.
 

 

Pero syempre, since Im still a girl...deep inside me I want a more "refined" and "presentable" me. Kaya I started reading beauty blogs. The likes of Project Vanity, The Beauty Junkee, Shen's Addiction. Sa kanila ko natutunan ang iba't ibang tungkol sa mukha at make up. Face powder, liquid/powder foundation, primers, concealers, Blemish Balm Cream (BB creams), Blush on, lipstick, lipgloss, eye shadow..name it they have it! :D

Kaya unti-unti, bumili ako ng mga pang-kolorete sa mukha. At sa paminsan-minsang paglalagay (dahil pinupuna ng asawa ko, san daw ang date?! duh?!), natutunan ko ang aking basic make-up routine.

So ngayon, I try to maintain my make up routine. Pero may mga gusto pa rin akong matutunan, like putting on some eyebrow (dahil di ko maintindihan ang shape ng kilay ko) at eye liner (dahil di talaga ako marunong).

One day, one at a time promise :)

 

Lovely Celebracion Shoes by Suelas

Ako ang taong tulog ata nung nagsaboy ng swerte sa raffle ang Diyos. Never as in never pa akong nanalo sa mga raffle, kahit candy na lang ang consolation prize.


Imagine my surprise when Je texted me na nanalo daw ako sa blog giveaway ni Patty Laurel! Reply ko pa: "ows? talaga? hehehe". But I immediately opened my twitter account with a silent wish in my heart that it is true (sorry Je ;) di lang talaga ako makapaniwala :P)

weeeehhhh!!!! kinilig ako!

 

I was so kilig talaga! Parang ihing-ihi sa kilig :P hahahahaha.. pasaway lang ang telepono ko at low bat na low bat na kaya pag uwi pa ako nakapag reply. She forwarded my email to the Suelas team the moment she read my email and the team advise me to wait for 2 weeks kasi nagkaubusan ng shoe size! Sobrang common kasi ng shoe size ko - size 7

Anyway - the wait is so worth it kasi sobrang ganda ng shoes! Look! Look!

Lovely diba?

As usual, you can expect that Suelas shoes are foldable, lightweight and comfy sa feet!
I'm still thinking of an event where I can wear them..hmmmm... Kaya for now tititigan ko muna sya!

I Love Jollibee

 

Remember the "I Love You Sabado" Campaign ng Jollibee?

Bentang-benta sa akin yun dati, kaya lang di sa nanay ko :P

 

But still, that campaign triggered my love-affair with Jollibee. Sobrang excited ako pag Sabado at Linggo, tapos aalis kami ni Mama ;) diretso kami sa Jollibee pagkatapos ng anumang gagawin namin!

 

Dumating man sa buhay ko si Mc Donalds, Wendys, Army Navy, KFC...

Iba pa din si Jollibee ;)

 

Ang Mahiwagang Lapis

Bow! :)

Kahapon, habang naghihintay matapos ang pagkatagal-tagal na system run dahil may dina-download akong report, naisip kong gawin ang "pencil test."

Pencil Test is one of those old folklore that "determine" your future child's gender, plus the number of kids you are going to have using a pencil and a string that is attached to a needle. You will place the pencil above your wrist and wait for the pencil to move. Side swings or circles means you'd be having a girl and an up-and-down motion connotes a boy.

Dahil sa kaibigan kong ubod ng curious sa lahat ng bagay (like me), sinubukan ko to!
Ang mahiwagang result: tatlong kembot! :)

Masubukan nga sa asawa ko, mamaya may ibang resulta eh :P

Itching To Travel

 

 

 

As much as I want to scratch that itch (its been a year!)

 

I'm thinking of moving these plan to the later part of the year.

 

I am, rather my wallet is still recovering from the damages that the last holiday season had caused us :P

 

JC's christening, Christmas, New Year and Jeya's 7th birthdays (kasi ang daming celebration!)

 

Kaya lang, the hubby has other plans. Dahil kating-kati nang lumarga, ayun! Nagpabook na ng mga domestic flights! At ang unang-una, next week na agad! Agad-agad?!

 

 

Haist.. research mode tuloy ako for this CDO trip
