MBS Travel: HK - Day 1

By esa
MBS was such an angel on her first airplane ride abroad. :) I could not have wished for a better experience! 
She fell asleep during take off and didn't wake up until the pilot announced that we were landing in a few minutes. Such an angel, really. 

Preparing for the trip - what to bring, where to go, how to go from point A to point B with MBS in tow - was a whole different ball game. 

While packing, MBS just didn't seem to have enough clothes, even if one side of my hard cased luggage was already filled with her clothes. One outfit a day never seemed enough. What if she got wet? What if she threw up? What if she soiled herself? 

I would say that I packed around 20 outfits for MBS for our 5 day trip, excluding her outfit on the day itself and three more just-in-case outfits to be packed in her carry on. When MH saw what I had been doing, he talked some sense into me and asked me to pack lightly. We were going to HK, not the North Pole. 

And so, I repacked. And ended up with still one side of my hard cased luggage, but at least it wasn't filled to the rim.

We were early enough to spend some time and eat breakfast at the Miascor lounge at NAIA1.
Thank you, Amex and Citibank.

She didn't have a seat on the plane, so she had to sit on my lap. :)
A seatbelt for infants was given to me when we got on the plane.

Now, we had to look for a taxi and get on our way. It's a good thing MH's aunt came to fetch us; she called a taxi for us as well. Apparently, you get a discounted rate when you call/order a taxi as opposed to just grabbing one on the street.

We had a really quick snack at HKIA's Crystal Jade as we waited for the taxi to arrive, which was less than 10 minutes. I was quite amazed by how efficient their taxi system is. 

 MBS got to finally meet her grand aunts and uncles in the evening. It was a very, very heartwarming sight - seeing how happy all the grand aunts and uncles were when they saw MBS. Everyone rushed to carry and play with her. The last time they saw MBS was when they visited Manila when MBS was just a month old. There was so much love. Such a happy day. :)

Baguio City 2017 - Day 2

By esa
DAY 2 To start off the day, the little monkey woke up early to run around the grounds of St. Patrick Village. He had just finished his oatmeal breakfast, which I was able to cook at the comfort of the house we rented.  This is the house we stayed in. Pathway leading to the exit A modern day Romeo and Juliet scene with the aunt Just as we were headed up to get ready for another exciting day, the little monkey's ears perked up when he heard a "Ta-hooooo!!!!" entering the village grounds. And boy, was I excited to find out that they offered another unique flavor - ube taho! What a way to start the day! :)  Kuya Willie arrived a few minutes past 9am, and off we went to Baguio Botanical Garden. *Baguio Van Rentals provided their drivers with their own lodging, so Kuya Willie didn't stay with us (even though there was more than enough room; they have a driver's quarters just beside the garage).  Family picture! The garden w...

Baguio City 2017 - Day 3

By esa
DAY 3 Here's a glimpse (with pictures) of what the inside of our rented house at St. Patrick looks like. The house can be rented for Php 18,000 a night. It was pricey for our small group, but would have been worth it for a bigger group.  Room# 1 at Lower Ground CR inside Room # 1 Stairs going to the main floor Living room (Main door is on the right) Dining room just across the living room Kitchen (Pots and pans, knives, chopping board, plates, utensils, rice cooker, water dispenser with 5 Gal water, water kettle are all provided.) Room # 2 at Main floor CR just outside Room # 2 Stairs leading to 2nd Floor Room# 3: Master's Bedroom (there's a CR inside) Room # 4 across the Master's Bedroom (CR located beside the room) Stairs going to Attic St. Patrick Village was nice enough to hold my downpayment for 1 year. We were supposed to go last year, but we had a family emergency.  I was really charmed by this place (...

Juicing with Juice Hut

By esa
My husband and I tried juicing a few days ago.  We ordered from Juice Hut , and tried their Midway Cleanse (2 days).  It was Php 2400 per head (+ delivery charges depending on your location) for 14 cold pressed juices and 2 bags of Yogi tea. However, we got Php 100 off since they ran out of thermal bags. We took in 7 bottles of cold pressed juices and 1 tea per day by following the cleanse guide we were provided with.  Their blends were really refreshing and yummy!  For their Detox blends, I liked their Cider Detox better than the Lemon Detox.  For Orange blends, the Eye Opener lives up to its name.  For the Green blends, I was just able to taste their Veggie Medley. It did not disappoint. For the Almond Milks, the Almond Matcha is a good choice.  I stayed strict throughout Day 1, but had some food on Day 2. My stomach wasn't prepared enough for the juicing. haha :) Also, one thing I noticed is that though I didn't f...
