Mother's day celebration

My mom having to work again (she stopped for a year because she wanted some break) put a lot of downsides especially this summer because we weren't able to go out whenever we wanted to. So, Mother's day was not just a day for mothers all over the world, but to us, it was a day for us to bond as a family. 

The night before the said event, my siblings got to have this mini cake for free and I was the one who kind of designed it. Just for fun. 

Do you know Cri-Kee from Mulan? My sibs and I got used to call our mom Cri-Kee because she's small and she says a lot of things that only she understands. lol 

This was our gift to her. She's been eyeing it for several years (and I'm not even exaggerating haha) but even if she had money for it, she wouldn't buy it! It's too expensive for me and my sibs so we had our dad sponsor it for us. Hahaha! 

Jesse and I were having our 11th month that day, too!

Out of the topic, but meh.

We went to Southmall that day because we haven't been there in ages. Plus, the weather was really bipolar so we chilled in the mall. Aaaand I had milk tea again! What's new? Haha I've been addicted to it ever since I went back and forth to UST for a couple of days T__________T 

This is what I really like when we're eating dinner at Burgoo. The "vandalize" all you can. Hahaha! Hotdog day = Mothers' day. Some of you may get the idea. Haha. My sister is mean, I'm telling you. 

Drew a bird to mock my sister. Hihi it's a badly drawn bird but who cares? And a Durian because her boyfie is from Davao. Now don't get offended, people from Davao. I'm just mocking my sister :P 

Dinner *u* 

Too bad that my favorite steak wasn't available so I had to settle with Angus Rib-Eye (lower right) which I didn't like :( 

Looks yummy, tastes otherwise. It's just too sweet and creamy and ugh. I am a fan of desserts, especially those with strawberries, but I gave up on this one. 

With my fatty family haha

I hate it when I'm in the mood to blog but then Blogger doesn't work with me! I'm so sorry for the late posts! But I have two posts coming up after this, watch out. :3 

For the nth time

The heat in Manila is so unbearable that my family and I chose to stay for several nights in our usual vacation spot, Subic Bay (thus, the title "For the nth time"). We didn't stay in the usual resort though because we wanted to try another that we found in the net. We ended up at Sheavens Seafront Resort. The WiFi was really good! I even tried to play League of Legends for a night and my ping was only 20+ considering I'm in a public place and not in the house. Hahaha that's how fast their net is!

The place was good, too. The downside was just there is no shore to walk on if you don't wanna have a dip in the beach but since we were just there for the ~cool breeze~ of the mountains and the beach, well, it was fine. They also have a swimming pool that is open until nighttime. Their restaurant is open 24 hours a day so if you get hungry in the middle of the night, you just have to go there and order. You don't have to pay shortly after finishing your meal because it can be done during the check-out so I enjoyed pigging out even by myself!

I was too lazy to get hold of my camera which is heavy and kind of bulky so I took these using my phone which is more convenient. My followers would notice how I was very active in Instagram during my stay there because I loved taking pictures of everything!!

Complementary drinks when we got there.

It was supposed to be "iced tea" but I only call it "ice" since it didn't taste like iced tea at all!

My sister on our first night there, having a night dip in the pool.

Day 2! We had lunch at Harbor Point.

Spinach Artichoke dip is my ultimate favorite (lower right)! 

Headed to Pier One for a night out! My family loves watching live bands.

Day 3! My pretty view while having lunch by myself. 

They went on island hopping without me, hence the lunch-with-myself thing. It was alright because I like being alone sometimes. Is that bad?

Grilled Pepper Steak! Medium well as I like it to be cooked.

Pretty, pretty sunset

Been eye-ing this on the menu and I was glad that it was finally available on our third night!

This was my dessert during our dinner.

Midnight snack with brother. I had waffles while he had the chocolate fondant like the photo above. Mine's presentation was better, heh!

Day 4! Breakfast!

By The Sea

Ever since, Subic Bay has been my family's favorite place to stay during the Holy Week. We always liked the good food, fair weather, and the beautiful beach! And this year was no different. 

Nighttime fell and we had to eat dinner. We were hearing a couple of drum beats and people were forming a crowd and we saw them! They were performing by the shore and asking donations for their costumes.

I've got to say, I had the best grilled squid that night. The best, I say! I'm not even kidding. 

My tita mommy and I had to squeeze ourselves at the rightmost part just to avoid the freakin' sunlight! Hahaha!

We celebrated Easter at the nearby Ayala mall and had lunch and a little shopping there. 

We had to stay for just a night because I still had a graduation practice the next day. Though it sucks, I had to cherish every bit of my senior life. Helloooo college, soon!  

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there

I spent literally the whole weekend with my family! My sister only gets home once in a blue moon because she's dealing with the life of a med student. Anyhoo it started with a bowling night! I missed this so much because the last time that we played bowling was two years ago, I think. Haha. And I super enjoyed it this time!

Afterwards we went to Blue Wave to just hang out. I was dead tired so I didn't take any pictures. Hahaha. The next day, I was supposed to have my investigation proper for our Physics subject but due to several complications, I went with my family to Manila Ocean Park instead.

We also had our family picture taken that day at Fujifilm MoA! 

That night, we also traveled to Tagaytay so we could have an overnight stay there just because. In the hotel room my siblings and I just watched a movie while my parents were out watching bands somewhere. The next day (which was today, Sunday) we slept the whole morning and had lunch at Bag of Beans, Tagaytay. 

The food was good, as always. I loved the buttermilk pancake! It sucks that I only tried it today. I will surely try all the other pancakes next time we eat there! T'was a long time also that we ate there so we were surprised that they had more parking spaces unlike last time. Afterwards, we visited the ever famous Pink Sisters chapel and bought cloister cookies!!!! 

It was a long and tiring but fun weekend and I haven't done anything for school yet. Heh! I'll start now, swear! 

P.S. I've been listening to Paramore songs lately since their concert will be 12 days from now. Thus, the blog title. Hahaha hyped!!
