MBS Travel: HK - Day 2

By esa
To start things off for the day, MH's aunt treated us to brunch at a nearby dim sum restaurant. Yum! MBS ate her share of congee and liked it too!

Brunch time :)
Any additional orders, MBS? :)

Afterwards, we went to a nearby grocery mall. We had dinner plans with other uncles and aunties that night, and wine was in order. Spotted humongous strawberries on sale, and bought a box for MBS.
There were pumpkins on sale as well and I found it fascinating how the pumpkins were being sold by piece and not by weight. Naturally, I got one of the bigger pieces. :)

Say, "Aaaah."
It might be a bit too early for pumpkin carving :)
Juicy much, MBS? :)
Night time came before we knew it, and it was time to prepare for the big night.

MBS would like to thank her great aunt for her beautiful dress, and her aunt for her pink tiara :)

MH's cousin surprised MBS with an extremely lovely customized cake.


It was really a splendid and perfect celebration for MBS's big one. :)

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 (...

Youji & Me Clearance Sale

By esa
While browsing Facebook, I chanced upon Youji & Me having a clearance sale ! :)  I love clearance or warehouse sales. They mean 50% off the original price, or sometimes even more. :) It's too bad the company didn't give a clearance sale before MBS was born. If they did, it would've saved us a lot of money.  The crib and playpen MBS uses now were both bought from Youji & Me by MBS's grandparents.  From what i've gathered, it's part of Chinese tradition that the mom-side grandparents of the baby have to buy the crib. It's also tradition not to assemble the crib before the baby arrives. In our case though, we had the crib assembled when it was delivered to our place. We didn't put on the sheets yet though. We waited for MBS to come out before doing that.  The initial plan was to put the crib at our place and the playpen at MBS's grandparents' place. However, both crib and playpen were put to use at our place. So, MH and I decided to bu...
