Mommy's PlayPEN

Nuvali!

Wanting to spend some quality time together as a family, we decided one afternoon to go to Nuvali (Solenad) once more and just have fun under the sun! :)

We passed by Eton City on our way to Solenad.

This is new! Some shops have not even opened yet.

It was fun feeding the fishes! It looked like a food fight every time we threw in some feeds into the lake!

The boat ride was quick but relaxing, giving us a view of the beautiful lake and surrounding scenery.

We capped off the afternoon with a heavy and delicious merienda at Army Navy. :)

I am proud to say I have a grandmother who's already 93 years old. I wonder if I'll ever get to that age! And mind you, she's still in good health at her age! My lola has always been a jolly person, one with a smile painted on her lips. I guess that's mostly how she got to her age now. Indeed a happy life is a healthy, long life! =)

Her birthday falls in August, and it's the time of the year that I always look forward to because it also becomes a family reunion of sorts. Most everyone is present, except of course cousins who are living abroad. The celebration is always full of fun and overflowing with love! Most important of all, it is a thanksgiving for another year for our dear lola!

Here's my beautiful lola on her birthday

The birthday feast!

It's not a birthday without lechon ;)

Great finds at Festival Mall

For my sister-in-law's trip to the US, I was thinking of what to buy for her and a couple of relatives as "pasalubong". Then, on a Sunday trip to Festival Mall, I found these nice stuffs perfect for the people I had in mind! =)
