SuperBoy named AD

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Camp Sambros-22

Our boy, AD is one brave boy.  I was quite hesitant to let him ride the 380meter zipline with us but he insisted.  I had to make sure that he really wanted to do it.  And he said, YES.  He thought it would be fun.  Yes, I think he had fun but it also scared him.  Just look at the above photo op moment.  Now, he knew what situation he entered into but cannot back out anymore. I was afraid for him that he would back out at the last minute that I cannot do anything to stop us from flying.  While flying, I was waiting for him to cry but I heard none.  Boy, AD sure was brave for that few seconds of us flying out there!  I didn’t hear anything from him (He was shocked to even do something!).  I just hope he was able to look around while he was being the SuperBoy.

Camp Sambros-27

This was how we returned to our starting point ~ via cable lift!  I would prefer to ZIP back than to ride this cable car.  More fun to be zipped back faster but then, you wouldn’t be able to really enjoy the greens surrounding Camp Sabros.  It sure was fun to have zipped from here and there and everywhere!  Can’t wait for the longer zipline of Camp Sabros!  Yes, those are pine trees which Mr. Edwin Sakdalan, owner of Camp Sabros, planted years ago.   Boy, I forgot to bring my jacket so I was almost freezing out there.  It was like being in Baguio!  It was soo cold!  And we were there till past 4pm!  So just imagine the cold and windy weather with just that nursing blouse on! Bbrrrr!!!!

Price for this ride is only P150/ head.  The ride includes a 380meter tandem ride and a cable lift.

I’ve got a confession to make…I was only supposed to get this ride and I’m done (my excuse was to be with JX and AD)!  But after the tandem ride, I can’t wait to go on my 2nd longer zipline ride!   Zippity zoe!  Here I go!

More ziplining adventures on my next entries….

Somebody’s Enjoying The Parlor Games

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Ahh….AD’s enjoying the party!  Now, he’s really a grown up…participating in the parlor games.

The boat is sinking….group yourself into 3!  I can see the excitement in AD’s face as he panics and looks around…waiting to be hugged by the older kids and be grouped with them.  Just look at his face…He was happy!

Enzo Jollibee Party-5

Proud to be part of a team.  I forgot what game they were playing.  They lost but it was okay.  At least, AD got to join..and still get a prize!  He excitedly open the prizes he got and later on, forgets about them…until now.

Enzo Jollibee Party-3

Longest line of coins…Again, they lost!  I didn’t bring any bag with me because it might get lost.  I was carrying JX so my attention would just be diverted so I decided just to bring the kids’ bag.  I did not contribute a coin!  I was disappointed with myself as AD was scampering and looking for a coin I can give him.  My HB neither had any coins in his pocket.  It was nice of my couple friends, X&J, to give him a few coins so he can “give” something to the group.  Thank you X&J for being a very considerate parents to my son, AD.  I was really touched because instead of giving it all to their daughter, they shared some coins to my son.

Enzo Jollibee Party-4

Labor Of My Love

Friday, November 7th, 2008

For the past months, I’ve been travelling locally with my HB.  The trips would usually take 3-4 days away from the kids (woohoo, honeymoon! hahaha).  This is the first time ever events that I left AD for more than 2 days and with JX too.  With JX, this is totally a different matter.  I had never left AD for more than a day when he was still a baby!  And look what I’ve been doing with JX.  I’ll share with you (in another post) how bad a mom I am to JX.

But no matter how far I am, I do not forget the kids especially JX because I get engorged!  I know, I know, it is not a nice word but that’s the term when one is nursing her baby so pardon me, my friends.  For non-nursing friends out there, engorge is a term when nursing moms do not get to feed or pump out the milk out of their breast for several hours, in short, my breasts get swollen or to be blunt, gets BIG (wowee! Only time when I get a nice looking plump booby!).  So what do I do?  I bring out my best friend out of its hiding place!

My Lion Prince & My Angel

My Lion Prince Halloween Party-10

Our kids had so much fun this Halloween party!  We joined 3 Halloween parties where JX only joined 2 out of 3.  It was fun!  I had fun dressing the kids in costume, wishing I could also be in one too! hahaha

Anyway, I just want to share my JX’s photo as my Lion Prince.  Mind you, he never complained when he wear this furry costume, not even he was perspiring (He’s just sleepy when I took this photo thus, non-smiling face.)!  Funny nga, when we put a cap over his head when he goes out, he would usually remove it immediately.  With this costume, he did nothing to indicate that he didn’t like wearing the lion costume.  Sympathy went out to JX whenever we go trick or treat to my cousin’s event, people would admire JX in his costume and later on, comment that isn’t he uncomfortable with that?!  (Yes, I just had to accept my cousin’s invitation - for the kids…Thanks to my cousin!  I love you, cuz!  Hope you’ll still invite us next year even if you’ll have your own kids!).

For the other photo of JX in Angel costume. He looked so cute too! We were even surprised that he was also given a consolation prize like his Ahya AD.

Go to Havaianas Playback TODAY!

Havaianas Playback TODAY!

JX and I just got from Havaianas Playback event at Boni Hi Street.  I think I had more fun than JX!  AD was with his Poppa doing their Ultimate Pampanga Tour so it was only JX and I.

Here’s what I did (Low-tech me, I again didn’t capture any photos.  I have an excuse, I was carrying JX.):

1. Registered and got the Havaianas Passport for me to be able to play.

2. To earn points, you have to play games and there are corresponding points.

3. After playing, go to their redemption center.  Playing doesn’t stop there!  They will be giving you a pingpong ball (# of balls depends on how many points you earned from playing) and eventually will land into a pocket hole.  The hole it lands to has a corresponding letter and has a corresponding prize.  Easy huh!

4. Don’t forget your kite!  Because you joined, you get a kite!  I got one!

TIP:  Playing under the sun means you need to be in your comfortable attire.  And also, I do hope you are none other Havaianas sandals (yes, not the other sandals…)  Also, bring towel for you will sweat a lot! :)  But truly fun!  When was the last time you really played those games?

I was in grade school when I last played Chinese garter (Wait a minute!  Is this a Pinoy game?)!  I aced it when I played a while ago.  I was also carrying JX at that time! hahaha Kidding!  I tried piko (just learned how today!) which was fun too but super tiring with all the jumping around!  I didn’t like sipa but played it anyway.  I only get to hit it once and the sipa drops unto the floor.  Bummer!  I didn’t get the chance to play patintero and tumbang preso because we had to go home.  Sleeping time for JX.  By the way, JX had fun with the sungka!  He was trying to eat the shells!

So, what are you waiting for?  Get dressed and head for Boni Hi because I’m sure there are a lot of goodies waiting for you there!

Lastly, they are offering 20% off on selected Havaianas slippers at the store ONLY FOR TODAY! Is it time to buy another pair?  Well, this is the right time!  Because you get to save 20% of the original price of Havaianas pair!
