2014 Cebu Saunter

The Ablens (a hefty 16pax) took a slow boat to Cebu,Friday May 25. Daughter slept so late,and my eyes were just so huge the entire night I never even felt sleepy at all.(Secret: I have a big fear of ships and seas.Darn.)

àBut hey, this is how summers should be!

Okay...So the boat left at 10pm, Cebu was already discernible(?) around  2am.

Here’s the Rota:

Day 1,Saturday:

(Where the Mansions are--White Hills,Banawa,Cebu.We stayed at Ate Malou's(sis in law) jumbo home as well.)

(Cherubs in action)

(Because we are major slackers!Haha!)

(Pretty,eccentric stairs)

                                     
                                                              (The napping, drowsy bunch)

(A treasure trove.)

After a quick sunup snooze, we went to SM for preliminary shopping.I was literally robbed  at Toys R Us,spending almost p2000 for dot’s toys.Tsk tsk..We sauntered for some cheapo shoes,Ajiichiban sweetmeats,Vitamin B articles for my woozy patients,a p50 book from BookSale and a shrewd green ink for my name stamp.Dot enjoyed the Playroom Palace and the naughty motor ride.

(A freebie from Toy Kingdom,for every 1 Moolah up purchases)

(3 Play Doh sets from Toy Kingdom+Kengko World Thingamajigs+Barbie leaves)

(Only p50!)

(The grass ink)

Met ze folks for dinner @ Mooon Cafe at Robinsons Cybergate.They’re here for the NatCon.At dahil ako ay  preoccupied (no childminder in tow),ABSENT. Again.Hehe. We had a blast at Kenko,where cute Jap articles are swamping with glee.

Day 2,Sunday:

An early morn nosebleed greeted me before the troop attended mass at the Alliance of Two Hearts. We  stayed in Ayala to beat the heat the entire afternoon.My first trip to Muji was breathtaking! Those frosty and tanned plains made my day! 

The kids enjoyed Blue Bell icecream,and yes,the roomy Playroom.

After a 4-hr saunter,we hurredly went home to White Hills to grace Eloi’s graduation party.It was indeed a cosmic one,with an immense number of foodstuff!

(My Muji Frosty Duo)

Muji-"A happy place"

Day 3,Monday:

An unanticipated  Pacific Mall trip with the group brought  me to a zero-spending position. Except perhaps the big bowl of fries and lazy donuts at the foodcourt.Ahem.

Day 4,Tuesday:

Another giddy trip to SM tore the sides of my cash can! Ha ha! Spent a gigantic 4k with only a few exciting stuff at Forever 21, Ace,a Jockey sando, ballet flats (again), and an ocu-patch for my blazer!

Dot and I had a kinda serious date at the Famous Belgian Waffles too.

BTW: We were at Mactan International Airport for a Molons Send off , late-night

(A sublime Ace purchase.)

(My first Forever 21 fandangles.Because you know, Cebu is formatively and cleverly far)

(MomDot quick date)

(New ocu-patch for my clinic)

(@ The Molons Send off=Mactan International Airport)

Day 5,Wednesday:

The Crocolandia walk with the group,7/11 ice cream trial ,SM grilling pan, power slicer/chopper,GPRS center tarp request , plus the scorching heat made me cranky! Lol!

(Print Ads for ePay/Busyhands)

Day 6,Thursday:

A delish Matias barbecue chomp with the Molon kids and the quick trip to Ayala before our C-O  voyage was amusing! Those Toys and Tickles needless to say,are pricey!

(Canvass=Passbook/bills/receipts holder @ Tickles, Ayala Center Cebu. Only p150!)

An almost 22K expenditure for a sunny vacay in Cebu this summer is truly worth the time lag!

Eventful Easter

Setting up the Easter Egg Hunt and Stash with Dot & Co. 04/20/14:
1.) Find the spot riddles.
2.) Easter cards draw up using stick ons.

1.) A makeshift Grad album.Because Kitty is pliant,soft and roomy.Even dot's cert fits perfectly. Not liking the big,bulky photo albums and scrapbooks anymore.Clear books/File folders are in!

2.) Pasting Practice- The pasting drill is a great workout for little hands. He he

3.) Reutilized Aster's outmoded and nearly forgotten Barbie magazines.Used them as background for the snaps. The prints are not quite related to the photos but Barbie surely makes my daughter giddy.

4.) Soon-to-be dangled snap craft. We hang dot's scholastic achievements to show her how mighty proud we are of her.

5.) MomDot Squiggles: We made identical doodles! Aw,not quite identical, because we agreed onsimilar themes,but ended upwith different scribbles.
