RH Bill Update
I normally do not surf through local news and felt quite bad to see the Philippines in the international news pages.

Really, P-Noy?

Linggo ng Wika
Getting ready for the Linggo ng Wika next week. Bought this Filipiniana outfit from a store in Taytay, Rizal. I just need to use starch to "oomph" the butterfly sleeves and we're good to go.

What if I was in Christine Aguilera's shoes?
Actually, what came to my mind when I saw this picture was - What if I also owned a gazzilion shoes like Christina Aguilera, I get pregnant (again) and then never return to my old shoe size (just like what happened to me)????? My feet were 6.5 inches before and now I'm a size 8.
Oh well, maybe for Christina Aguilera she can afford to replace all of these damn shoes or at least hire a trainer to be able to return to her old weight and original shoe size. But for me, that's close to being a miracle. Sigh.
But then again, maybe owning these beautiful and uber expensive shoes would be reason enough for her. (rationalizing!)

Carousel
Every so often, we let our kids ride the carousel....
For fifty bucks, it's a priceless childhood experience. :-) Love, love, love that these pictures are able to capture that fond memory.

Subic Beach Getaway
We promised our kids that we will bring them to the beach this summer. But as the summer days passed by, we simply became so busy with other things that we didn't really get to plan our outing earlier. And so, on the last weekend before school started, I was finally able to book ourselves a hotel for an overnight stay at Subic.
It was so worthwhile since family bonding is so priceless! I'm sure the kids will treasure the memory of that special time we had together.
On our way to Subic- the kids were so excited!
As we had prayed for, the skies were clear!!!
Welcome to Subic Bay Freeport Zone!
When we got to Camayan Hotel, we quickly checked-in to our room, left our bags and headed straight to Ocean Adventure to catch the Dolphin Show and Sea Lion Show.
We visited the big aquarium too.
After the shows at Ocean Adventure, we changed clothes to have quick dip at the beach.
On the next day (Sunday), we woke up to a beautiful day:
After breakfast, we again hurried back to Ocean Adventure to see the High Dive Show. It was almost the same kind of show as the last time we were there. But it was still so fun to see.
After the show, we shuttled back to the beach to have some more time to have fun in the sun.
It was a real bonding moment!
The Pineda Family finally went to the beach! Hip, hip hooray!
