"Louder, louder! I'm staring out of my window, and the rain is pouring down. When you left I was so low but I'm not gonna drown."
This song cracked my ear drums for 2 weekends whenever I come home to my parentals. Volume on it's maximum and it's on a repeat for the nth time. The little menace is practicing her steps for their Moving Up day. I actually come to memorize her moves because of non-stop rehearsal. Did it paid off?! Hahaha!
Moving Up Day
Wearing a very lovely dress matched with her flowery crown, which Ten-Ten super loved by the way, our princess joined other students and lined up. **pheewww!** Just in time for the "walk of the Moving Up-ers", not late, just in time! Buzzer beater, yeah! Hehehe!
Seeing Boo Ten-Ten, mingling with other kids, well of course aside from her cousins, makes me proud, anxious, happy... uhhmmm crazy, I know! LOL! No doubt our baby got her Ms. Congeniality trait from me. Especially the boys, it seems our baby girl is one heart breaker (that she didn't get from me! :b). However protective instincts kicks in whenever she has petty quarrel with play mates. Oooohhh yyeeaahh, I try my very best not to butt in, kids stuff, I know! What I'm really trying to say is, time just fly in a blink of an eye and our baby just getting taller and growing up fast pretty, brainy and so sweet. Yes, of course we're happy about that, so happy that we want to preserve her like that! Hehehe! Joke! We're here to protect her all the way baby!
Moving Up Dance
"Let us all welcome, dancing in the tune of Loude, Playhouse 1!"Since my sister will not be present to her baby's big event, I was asked to video the whole dance. Armed with my digital camera, I positioned myself infront to capture the big moment. Boo Ten-Ten smiling ear to ear, doing the steps graciously. Swaying her hips, doing the hands move and once awhile singing the song as well. A total performer, eehheerrrmmm just like me! Choss! Half of the performance, I noticed that the damn digi cam wasn't on play mode. Uuuuurrrggghhh! Waaaaahhh!!!
Moving Up Awarding
All through out the school year, I don't have any idea what their teacher taught them. Activity sheets, work books, seat works are only given out after the whole school year. So we never really know if our princess have an academic award. But guess what??!! WHAT??!!! Playschool 1 achiever and most sociable goes to.... KIRSTEN! **clap! clap! clap!**
With the kids innocence, just walking playfully at the stage, running around, laughing out loud with their playmates, they don't have even a tiny idea how proud each and every grown up with them. It feels like that I'm the one who got on the stage and have that medal on my neck. I'm that proud with our Boo Ten-Ten if I may say!
Boo Ten- Ten,
Keep up the good work! We love you to the bits! Stay happy in everything you do and we're always here to back you up!
Congrats! Mwuahs!

It's been awhile since I treat my lovies to one helluva tummy shaking experience. Knowing my Pops, he's such a killer of mouth watering foodies. While my Mom is so adventurous in terms of it. Fresh from my indigestion experience at Yakimix (I just can't help it! Eat, eat,eat and eat, yummmmeeeeehhh!!), I took my family to enjoy a sumptuous buffet that you can't say no to. (It will always be a cheat day if you're on a diet!)
Finally I've got to share them the very famous Samgyupsal (lettuce, a strip of beef, rice, kimchi), different kinds of maki (which I truly heart, uhmm i mean I truly tummy?!), tempura (which is always a hit!) and desserts (that the little niece enjoyed!)
It was undeniably fun night for me, yummy foodies, great place and most of all I have my dearest with me. What else can I ask for?! I just hope we can do this more often, because family that play together, are playmates?! Charla!
I love my family... sssoooooo much!
Afterwards we do some strolling, picture taking and non-stop walking. I was so tired and of course my niece too, that she fell asleep while my dad is carrying her. I almost forgot that we have a big event that we'll need to attend the next day.

3 years ago. That's when I tagged the whole family for a get away to the city. Well it's something different since we haven't stayed at Holiday Inn Galleria Manila (their first time at the hotel and my first stay WITH THEM). Slept like a log, swam like a wham and ate like an ape, what can I say?! It was all awesome!
This time of the year because of unforeseen event, I tagged them all along again but not at Holiday Inn, I wanted a hotel in Makati area, where a special event will take place. Luckily a friend whom is very into discounted voucher website, informed of ongoing promotion for the Isabelle Royale Hotel and Suites.
Isabelle Royale Hotel and Suites is located at Valdez Street, Barangay Poblacion, Makati, Metro Manila. Hotel is located near A. Venue Shopping Mall, and the lively-slash-wild night life in Makati area (not the kind of night life your looking for if you're way to conservative, get outta here?! not mine too, don't worry! It's way out of our league!). Let's leave the red district now, going back to Isabelle... The place is just three blocks away from my crib (better say CAVE,?! WYSIWG! Ahh huh! Indeed messy!) and just beside my favorite eatery (which I got an entry about their yummy cooking, click HERE! LOL) and about 20-30 minutes leisure walking from the office (take note! LEISURE! Puhleeaseethhh!). Too much on the location isn't?! Do google maps guys! :D
Moving on... Looking at the exterior of Isabelle Royale Hotel and Suites, I realized it's way different from the luxury accommodation of the IHG brands (eeeerrrr... love your own?! toinks!). I give all praises and thank you to the hotel's front desk whom I found very obliging when she allowed us to have an early check in and a room upgrade. Ooohh my dear I forgot your name, Is it Rose?! (Hahaaayy memory bank why are you malfunctioning?! Reformat?! Sino kaya ma-delete?! Charla!) or whoever you are, Kudos for a job well done!
A hotel staff assist us to our room which is just on the third level. I always prefer the rooms on the higher floor (better view I guess?!) however for this trip, naaah! why?! Elevator was way tooo slllooooww, and just looking at it makes me want to just.. uhhmmm go for the stairs!
The bed as you can see is too small, I think it's more of a single bed than a double. I woke up the next day with my niece feet on my face while she was enjoying cable cartoons. I was disappointed with their kitchenette, i mean their EMPTY kitchenette. Just when I thought I can cook a surprise meal for my love ones. (Pancit Canton, or Instant noodles?! Surprise! Surprise! LOL) And some ordinary breakfast served which I didn't like. Good thing we bought instant noodles!
Our hotel room smells old as well, and dusty, dirty and .. and... well it's a budget hotel... and not bad if you just want a place to crash into for emergency purposes. One thing or I mean the only thing that I love with this property are the hotel staff that are friendly and accommodating .

From a executive studio room we were upgraded to an executive matrimonial room (honeymooners?! LOL). Our air-conditioned room have a double bed, private bath with cold and hot shower, cable television, a scary squeaky cabinet, and an empty kitchenette. Lem'me show you some pictures...

But you know what?! It's not the place you were in that matters, it's who you are with. And for that ladies and gentlemen, everything was good because I enjoyed every seconds of it since I'm with my FAMILY.

I love kids... uhhmm naahh! I adore them!!
Being youngest of three, maybe, is the main reason why I adore those cutie little patootie. I'm always the baby in our home, so contrary to popular belief of being-used-to-be-the-only-baby-in-the-family-and-jealousy-comes-in-when-there's-new-baby, I welcomed them with open arms, and legs, and hugs, especially kisses.
The first little bundle of joy came when my big sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! BOO TEN-TEN! After couple of years, my kuya got her wifey pregnant... yaaay! BABY UNNAH, (pronounced as you-na) came our second little doll!
Before I knew it, I'm a pretty aunt,(kape!!!) for two equally cute, little, cuddly, snuggly sweeties!
When ber months kicked off, baaam! I'm nowhere to be found! (choss!) September started and I find myself with a lot of stuff in hand. Most of the time I'm with friends to celebrate life (charlang-charla!) but I make sure to reserve my Sunday with my beloved family especially now that we have two cutie patooties! Well, nothing really fancy on what I called, family day... church, lunch out, watching tv, jog around the lake or simply just being together (a bit mushy, you think?! darn! LOL)
Anyhow since I adore our little angels, I collected their Sunday church outfit. Buuhkkeeett??!! Because... Just Because! Hahaha! Game?! Ready or not... GAME!

After the Mass
Boo Ten-Ten turned three this year. She has a fiery personality, cute but sometimes annoying (uurrgghh!) but she is such a joy to have in our lives. At the age of three she knows what clothes she wants, shoes to wear and she's definitely into acting, dancing and singing.
For this Sunday, she wore balloon bermuda shorts with a cute ribbon for an accent and another ribbon on her Seven shirt to match up. Just too many ribbons on this outfit my little niece looked like delightful charming gift ei!
Baby Unnah just turned a month old when this picture was taken. I'm not really sure but I think it's her first time to do church.She's a carbon copy of his dad, my brother. She's quiet and meek like me. (choss na choss!) As a baby she communicates through crying, whimpering or sometimes just any sounds (more like a cooing) but when I saw her smile for the first time, it seems like our room lights up. She's so adorable that I find myself smiling too, while my brother was sooo ecstatic! Well, who wouldn't be?! Our Baby Unnah is too cute to resist!
Unnah paraded a casual polka dots brown dress with her shoe-like socks. She still wore this red and black bracelet to shoo away bad vibes (some superstitions huh... there's no harm in following anyway). My bewitching little princess, way to go!
These two little patooties never fails to brighten up my day. Well not only me, my mom, dad, my sister, brother and sister in law too! All right! All right! All people around them! Paaak!

Sunday
Carmelite Monastery
Wearing a halter screaming-green dress is our Baby Unnah. It's still a bit oversize but it seems that our baby is now a lady, dontchathink?! hehehe! If you can just see this baby girl's wardrobe, you'll be shock how many dresses she have.. waaah! How I wish those dresses has sizes for a big girls like me, style wise? I can say that we have a fashionista girl, in the next few months or so! :D
A rugged Mossimo dress flaunted by my deary Boo Ten-Ten. My ever so stylish mom picked it out from the store last Christmas. Whenever attending a mass, Ten-ten, or my mom, ... uhhmmm or me always carries her hello kitty bag which has her foodies. One of her "it's-a-must" when attending a mass! (That rhymes huh?! coolio! LOL)
I dunno these pretty angels of mine are so sweet and cuddly, I can't help but to fall completely and totally in love.

Sunday
Home Sweet Home
Showing off her black dress shirt match up with her capri pants, we gone to Carmelite for a Sunday mass. I was mourning up to this day 'bout a friend's death. While I'm praying she kneel beside me and then she uttered "Papa Jesus, please accept my Tito Garri in Your Kingdom. Thank you! I love you!", then looked at me and smiled.
Baby Unnah is pretty in her pink dress with a cute baby head ban. I think her mom is a fanatic of anything pink. As they say women who prefers pink tend to be maternal and full of affection, so no doubt my deary Unnah will grow up with overflowing love and care not only from her mom, but from her pretty tati too! (kkaaappeee!!) nyahaha!
For you two little patooties, may you grow jolly and keep those eyes smiling babies, you don't know how you guys brighten up "the-grown-up's" day! Looking forward when both of you can play tea party with me! Chosss!! I love you both! Mwuahs!
