So it's that time of the year again, and for us mommies, we are pressured to find a nice costume for our little ones. As for me, I was aware that the school of my Pre- schoolers are going to have a trick or treat at school in time for their foundation week celebration a month ago. So as early as September I already had an idea what I wanted them to wear, I printed a photo downloaded from the Internet, I bought fabric of different colors and found a sewer to make the dress for them. The fabric cost not more than 500 pesos. The dress maker asked me to pay her 600 pesos for each. That cost 1,700 for my little girl and boy's costume. Roughly 850 pesos for each. Did I save some money this way? Maybe just a little, the fabric doesn't cost that much! But the dress maker does. Anyway, I am happy with their costume. And for their 1st trick or treat experience, I want them to look their best.

One of the two destination for my kids field trip was Siri Fantasyland. Actually, the field trip fees for the students were already included with their tuition and miscellaneous fees. But since my 2 kids are still in preschool, guardian were required. Me and my husband paid 2,200 pesos. The two destination: 1. Siri fantasyland 2. Bioresearch's Lost Eden We arrive at our first destination before 9am, I think they were still close but since we were part of a school field trip, we were accommodated. We were a big number, so we were divided per bus number (the bus we came from) to efficiently accommodate us in the different attraction at the same time. Time management were efficient, the guides were well trained to facilitate school field trip. Anyway, among the four attraction (mirror maze, 3D movie, art museum, and the kids paradise), I enjoyed the third one a lot! It was like a real thing, the painter has done a really good job. My only qualm is that the time was limited. I ...

It's been a long time since I had my facial, since I have a lot of time in my hands I decided to have one where I always had mine. I had my first facial when I was in college, through my HS friends, I came to know Luz facial care center which was located at Banlat, Tandang Sora. I didn't have much acne, but like any other teens, pimples every now and then became a major inferiority complex then. Anyway, the facial experience there was hard to forget. Sure it was painful, they will really get the blackheads out, and you will cry a river of tears. I wonder how those teens manage to get through it, specially those with heaps of pimples. I like it at Luz because it's cheap and the facial comes with 2 free check up. Not that you need it when you don't have much to squeeze out! Hehe I also like their placenta soap, or the way I call it, the black soap. I like their daily peel solution #14, which will make your dead skin peel off in 3 days. I like their whitening cream...

Well, we were fortunate to have won round trip ticket to Hong kong from hubby's work. It's an anniversary token of the company. The tickets came in a voucher form. And it is a Sunlife Fly Voucher of Sunlife Insurance. Hubby went to Cathay Pacific in Makati for flight booking. The dates we wanted which is three months away are already fully booked. I check online and it is still very much available, the attendant said that there is limitation on the Sunlife voucher booking, that means that Sunlife has already achieved the allowed booking on the dates we wanted. And we needed 38 thousand pesos + plus the Sunlife voucher to get the dates we wanted. But since we don't want to spend that much, we settled on the later dates. Anyway, we still paid 19thousand for taxes and fuel surcharge for 2 adults and 2 kids. And so, I don't really know if we were fortunate! I should have just waited for promo flights. Husband's company should have just dealt directly to the airlin...

Metrodeal had a promo, Instead of paying 350 pesos, you'll just pay 160 pesos per pax for Robot Zoo Entrance and 1 show of your choice in Nido Discovery Center's Planetarium, I immediately grab my credit card and availed the promo for our family of four.. We went on a Saturday, a post birthday treat for my 5 y.o. Boy, together with my hubby and our 3 y.o. Girl. The usual scenario at EDSA going to MOA, traffic was terrible. Took us 2 hours to reach the place and we just came from a lunch at Fairview, Q.C. Anyway, the line at the counter was long. And all of us are holding the voucher from metrodeal. Hehe! So about 10 minutes of waiting, we were given tickets for the Robot zoo, and tickets for a 4:40pm show at the planetarium. And the show for that time is One World,One sky with big bird and Elmo of Sesame street. It was fun for the toddlers, my kids enjoyed it so much. But a total disappointment to adults like my husband who were asleep half of the show. Thank goodness it only...

MOA Eye is an aircon gondola/ ferris wheel ride located at bay front of SM Mall of Asia. Cost is 150 pesos per pax and there's is no discounted rate for kids. The ride lasted for about 10 minutes. We went on a rainy Saturday night, there were a line but only 2 minutes waiting so it's not much of a wait at all. We were 4, with my hubby and 2 kids (5yo and 3yo). We enjoyed it and it even comes with a spectacular free firework show. I guess, we were just lucky that we went on a weekend and in time for the fireworks of SM MOA. I recommend that you schedule your visit the same time as the fireworks display. It's spectacular up there seeing the different lights through the glass of the gondola! And NO! It wasn't scary at all, my kids were so brave. The only thing that bothers me is that it goes on and on, so imagine yourself riding on and getting off from the moving gondola.... With toddlers! But there were personnel to lend a helping hand. Hehe!
