The Impromptu visit at the #ExpoMom2015

The Saturday that passed was a very busy one. It was really funny that some of the errand were not planned. As in it was a last minute decision. Anyway, it was fun naman so no biggie. =)

My sister and I talked about going to ExpoMom that was held in Glorietta Activity Center on May 22-24, 2015. It's honestly my first time to go there as I have not been much interested before. I am glad I went though I have not bought anything at all. We were supposed to be there when the mall opens at 10am however, I arrived at their house at 11am na since Jami and Daddy woke up late and I ate breakfast slowly that day as per Daddy! hahah. :p It also rained so it pushed back our time of going to Makati. Along the way, there has been a traffic along Edsa which made it a little worst leaving us a little time to roam around.

The entrance is free which was a plus making all Moms go in and chance upon some good finds. My sister said that her sister-in-law will be there too since they will be checking out some nursing tops. With that, I chance upon good dresses and tops that are very much trendy and useful for breastfeeding Moms. =)

We also chance upon Rica Peralejo. We were startruck since my sister and I are following her in instagram while my sister has been reading her blog. I was about to ask her for a photo pero na choke ako ng hiya eh hahaha!:p

Anyway, I saw so many beautiful things for infants below one year old that when I am given a chance to go back time, I'll get Jami some. I also found some new stores to stalk for Jami. I specifically like Tots N Toddlers. It wasn't my first time to see their website since my sister introduced me to them last year when I was looking for cute costumes for Jami.

My sister and her youngest, Sab! with a free sample for an exchange of registration. =)

 Anyway, I wasn't really able to check every booth since we have another errand to do. We were attending a wedding at 3pm so we only had a chance to be there for only 1 hour. Hayy.. I actually wanted to go back pa the next day, Sunday but Daryl was not around because FMIL asked him to drive for her somewhere.

I am sure a lot of Moms were very happy with the #ExpoMom2015 and their finds. Share your finds mothers! =)

My Loots last Weekend

Last week, James had his staycation over at his Tita Fraulene’s house. Nanay and him stayed there for almost a week. And since my baby is there, imposible naman na wala dun ang Mama diba? Hehe.

One afternoon, I received a text message from BPI saying that they’ll be a bazaar at SMX where I can have a free entrance. I said to myself na sasabihin ko yun kay Ate as soon as I go home dahil for sure she will be interested.

Then that night came, nakalimutan ko sabihin sa kanya.

Good thing, this Friday just passed, she was the one who remembered it.

Ate: May bazaar daw ah free entrance for BPI cardholders.

Me: Ah oo nga, yun yung sasabihin ko sana sayo kahapon, nakalimutan ko lng. Tara punta tayo bukas!!

Ate? Deadma.

Next day, she was telling me, “tara na.” at dahil sa nakikitira lang ako sa kanila during that time, wala akong maisuot papunta sa bazaar. Lahat ng mga damit na kasya noon sakin, waley mga ateng! Hindi talaga magkasya sakin. Hindi ko na tuloy ma – raid yung closet ni Ate at Lalai. Hayy.. =(

When we were riding the bus.

Ate: San tayo bababa?

Me: Sa Baclaran tapos yung jeep pa mall of asia.

Ate: Ha? Kala ko ba sa The Ramp tayo?

Me: Ha? Kala ko naman sa bazaar lang?

Shet. Hindi magkaintindihan eh.
Pasensya na at walang photos, 

So then we headed to Glorietta and visited The Ramp. We checked there but we were not lucky to find nice clothing there at this moment.

They were making fun of me. Lalai and Ate said na nagda downgrade na daw and fashion sense ko! Waaa.. =(

It was me who always tell them what the nice finds are. Kung san ba ipe pair ang mga newly found clothes namin tapos ngayon hindi na. I felt so old and out of fashion. Parang feeling ko nawawala na yung mga dati kong kaartehan sa pananamit. I feel so chubby kasi eh. I need to change this thinking kasi I might get old na nga talaga ng bongga.

I was looking at this part of the Ramp where it has the sweater like na mga tops. When we looked around, mga thunders na yung mga kasama namin! Shet. I felt old again! Hayy..

I didn’t buy anything sa The Ramp kasi I wanted to check in Forever 21 first eh. I found so many cute dresses online kasi like what I mentioned here. I tried looking for the dress that I wanted online but I can’t seem to see them in F21 Makati. Just before we went inside F21, we have decided to have our lunch at SM Foodcourt muna but we found out na close pala ito for renovation ata.

Kaya ayun, nag ikot na lang kami sa F21 and this is what I got:

My first F21 *wink*

Since we are on a hurry, we bought na lang dounts at Gonuts Donuts then bought Fruitas at SM Supermarket. We rode a bus then we headed to SMX for the BPI Grand Summer Outlet Sale – Swim Bike Run Expo.

When we got there, we were surprised. Sobrang daming tao. There were cosplay pala and another bazaar on other function halls kaya bongga ang tao there.  As I said, free entrance ako and Ate because we were both a card holder. She said Lalai was still 12 years old para di magbayad ng entrance. P50 lang naman, pero nakakatamad pumila kasi ang haba eh. Hehehe =)

When we got in, we did the usual shopping routine. Nililibot namin talaga lahat. Ang daming naka sale na brand.

Skechers at 40%-50% off, Sperry Top Sider, Ipanema, Grendha, Petrol, Apple Products, Adidas, Nike Golf, Speedo and so on.

Dinumog and Apple booth. They sold their accessories and other Apple products at a very affordable price. Wala naman akong Apple so deadma lang ako. There were a lot of bikes on sale, diving suit at madami pang iba.

As we roam around, this is what I bought.

Sperry Top Sider Rubber Shoes for Php 1,200 from Php 3,999

What a good steal right? Good thing they have it in my size pa.

Ate: Be, lika dali may nakita akong rubber shoes dun ang mura lang!

Me: Saan?

I was a bit hesitant pa nung una to buy it kasi I want the skechers. Kaya lang they have those for Php2500 and up. Mejo tight ang budget ngayon so hindi ko mabili.

Ate: Nakipag agawan pa ako nyan sa babae para lang makuha yan. Nung binitawan nya iniba ko ng pwesto.

Hahahaha. Ang adik lang ni Ate. =)

Short after Kuya Allan (Ate’s Husband) joined us at the bazaar.

We ate at Wendy’s Mall of Asia for lunch. They bought a new luggage din.

Soon as we got home, ako na ang nagpatulog kay James. Na guilty ako kasi Saturdays are “us” time sana na mag ina kaya lang mejo ginabi ako ng uwi. Pag Sundays kasi, sila naman mag ama eh. Di bale, free naman ako this coming Saturday, bawi na lang ako. =)

So that’s how my last Saturday went. Kayo?

A Long Story of a Weekend

Good Afternoon Guys!

My shift has changed again so my routine of jogging no longer applies. I go out of the office around 6pm which is super rush hour. It was okay naman sana, I can have my jogging session during rush hour so from the time I'll be going home, hindi na sobrang traffic. However, regardless of how poor it may sound, wala akong locker dito sa office to temporarily leave my things while I run. Poorita lang talaga ang pegaloo. Kaloka!

Anyway, going back to the Good Vibes, I had a very motherhood weekend again. I am not complaining kasi I can only spend my whole day and time with James only on weekends eh. This is my way of catching up on him while he grows every minute. 

Unlike before, Daryl gets to visit James every Saturday, now it has changed to every Sunday dahil sa 6 days work week niya. 

I started my weekend on Friday night after shift. I met up with Tita Frau, my eldest sister, at World Trade Center for the 'Heat Wave Bazaar'. I came late because of traffic along Gil Puyat Avenue. Ate has gone inside to check the booths. I forced Ate to pay for the entrance of P50 (which I always do).

Hahahaha. 

Grabe kasi yang mga bazaar na yan. Lagi na lang meron kapag petsa de peligro na ako. Yung tipong waley na akong anda. Nakakaloka. Si ate naman ang nagyaya eh so sya na rin ang magbayad. =)

We checked each booth while having tons of chikahan. Para kaming di nagkita ng 5 years sa dami ng pinag chichismisan namin. I didn't buy anything kasi nga alanganin na ang wallet ko. Hindi naman ako kayamanan para maka afford ng mga biglaang gastos. 

Oh! Before I forget, let me mention that I came across some article about Financial Freedom daw. I'll tell you about it soon, di ko pa tapos basahin eh.

I have noticed there was a program. There was Jonalyn Viray and Stephen Silva. Jonalyn sang her version of Empire State of Mind of Alicia Keys. 

I am too far from the stage tapos di naman katangkaran din si Jonalyn Viray so ayan ang resulta ng photos. Pero in all fairness, winner talaga ang boses nya. No question on that.
While checking her out, Ate found this booth where they sell detox juice. I think I got traumatized dun sa huli nyang binili that I mentioned here. So ayun, she bought one to try it out. I was kinda hesitant to drink it kasi nga feeling ko kasing lasa pa rin nung dati. Pero, since I got really conscious about my figure, nilakasan ko ang loob ko para tikman. Ayun, masarap naman pala kasi those juices that they sell were more of fruits than veggies. Bet ko yun ha?! Yung may Kiwi, I am not sure with other flavors though. The name of the booth was Sexy Detox I think? I can't find their facebook page eh.

Later on, off we went to Mall of Asia to check some stores we often visit. Ate didn't buy anything. Mejo kuripot kasi yun ng slight lang so then niyaya ko na lang sya to eat at Wendy's. Winner ang burger nila dun ano?! I ordered the Cheeseburger Combo nila. I removed the kamatis and onion eh but I tried eating the lettuce and it was ok naman pala. Hehe. A good start in liking veggies diba? I'm trying my best na kasi mga mare to make peace with gulay one step at a time.
Wish me luck. Hahah.

By the way, here's the photo I took after I had James took Calpol for his sinat. He looked grouchy talaga that day. He's not really feeling well siguro.

Please excuse the sipit in my hair. Wala akong mahanap na hair clip eh hehehe. 

Buti na lang okay na talaga ang baby ko. Thank God for making him healthy =)

Saturday morning, we woke up around 6am. James was making his usual morning inarte of crying. I don't know why he does that every morning. Yung mag iiyak - iyakan sya, that or hindi ko lang talaga ma figure out kung bakit sya naiyak. When you start talking to him while he's doing inarte naman, he usually stops then will show his good mood na. Pero how to do that ba? Pupungas - pungas ka pa, kelangan mo ng dumaldal agad para maging good mood ang bagets. Hayy #nanayproblems

What we did next was to bring him with me sa bilihan ng pandesal. I carried him for a slightly long walk. Kaloka! Sumakit agad ang likod ko. =(

While we were having our breakfast, we handed pandesal to James din. 

rawr!! I'll eat you all!!

He's sobrang nanggigil talaga on anything na nilalagay niya sa bibig nya. 

So adorable talaga! I am so happy to see him learn new things. Yun nga lang, everything that he touches, gusto nyang ilagay sa bibig nya, sipsipin, dilaan at ngatngatin. I was wondering if he'll soon have his baby tooth kasi everytime he catches my finger, he will put it in his mouth tapos I really can feel his gilagid on my fingers. What do you think Nanay's out there? He's turning 6 months na this coming week eh.

We had his usual morning nap after. We slept until around 11:30am. I was making faces while he was looking at me half awake. He was smiling at me. Priceless pala yung mga ganun ano? You can make someone smile for no reasons. I'm sure if he gets old, kahit anong smile ko waley na yan. 

Hahahaha. Dedma na yan panigurado. 

I bathed him afterwards then let him play a little. He was so cute. Kala mo macho eh, naka brief pa. Hehe. 

Most of his toys were hanged sa wall for him to see them habang gumagalaw dahil sa hangin ng fan. 

Later in the afternoon, We went to Sm Southmall with Tita Grace and Andy. I was drinking my all time -summer favorite Halo - halo krusher at KFC na uber sa sarap mga mare, try nyo! Every summer lang to available on all stores of KFC. Whenever I take a sip, walang humpay ang kampas ng kamay ni James so hindi ako makainom. He wants to drink it too. He opens his mouth din. Nakakaloka! Ang ambisyoso na agad ng anak ko. Gusto ng uminom ng Krusher! 

Instead, we offered him this:

See how gigil he was na isubo yung plastic ng brownies. I wanted to make him eat na talaga kaya lang ang mudrakel ko sabi on his 6th month na daw. Anyway, it will be next week na so kakain na sya. =) I'll surely document it. 

We walked around the mall and saw that Gingersnaps was on sale. I was hoping to buy one for James kasi most of their shirts were around P150-P200 na lang. Kaya lang, I noticed the other day na most of his cousin's Thirdy's clothes were handed over to him na. Most of them came from Gingersnaps din so I wasn't sure which one ang wala pa si James, I saw those same styles kasi nung nasa bahay. 

Thirdy was 3 years old now, going on 4 on August. He was petite lang talaga so di malayong magkasya kay James ang mga old clothes nya. 

I also saw that Simple Joys are on sale with this cutie bags. I remembered my dalaga days lang bigla. Hehe. =)

I wanted this polka bags oh! So teenager lang ang dating!

His eyes looked red on this photo but it doesn't. Baka sa lighting lang. =)
Here's James' ootd:

Top and Shorts gifted by Daryl

The next day, Daryl visited James and got us this. 

Sobrang init that day. James had a hard time getting his afternoon nap. He slept for only around 10 minutes, he woke up. He was so grouchy talaga. Sobrang init ng ulo nya. Nung mejo bumaba ang araw at around 5pm saka lang mejo nakatulog pero most likely around 1 hour lang. Pinunasan ko na sya then I always put powder sa leeg at dibdib nya para mejo ma preskuhan ng konti. Pero wala pa din eh. It's scorching hot talaga. We don't have aircon kasi sa house mejo poorita pa ako at ambisyon ko pa lang. Sooner I'll have that na =)

When  Daryl went home, we stayed at Tita Grace's bedroom with the aircon on na. I can see James had somehow felt presko. We watched the video/song of the app 'Dumb Ways to Die' on Tita Grace's tablet.
Look at James, He can somehow sit na on his own. Sooner or later, he can do it without guidance na.
He's really growing up. =(

Tutok na tutok sa tablet. =)

Please excuse the tummy! Sobrang laki! Hahahaha. That's why I really have to work out na diba?

After a while, mejo na bored na kasi mga 5 times na nagpe play ang video so he asked for milk.

Noticed the bolster? Bestfriend niya yan. He cuddles it everytime. =)
After a while, I didn't let him sleep pa muna. When Nanay came, that's when he fell asleep na talaga. I transferred him to our house afterwards. Antok na antok ang lolo nyo, di man lang nagising. =)

It was a long weekend diba? Grabe ang pananakit ng likod ko jan, I swear. I wanted it to be checked na talaga. Maybe next time.
How's your weekend naman mothers? Long weekend is coming. Ingat sa mga gagala. Kami Taong bahay muna.

Whew! Finally as promised on my previous post! I am now going to show you things that I have done this past week. I am itching to post things on my blog but I wasn't able to do so much as I want. Every time I am at home, I always fail to upload things due to the fact that I still have not have my internet working. :( 

Alright, done with the excitement and much excuses. Let me get to the point! Hehe. I am going to show you now an outfit post I did last week. I wore this at work mimicking Kryz of Thirstythought. It was one of the outfit post she has on lookbook. I am thinking of doing this a while back but I really haven't have any time to do so. 

Anyway, Here's what Kryzzie wore:
