Midday, Hubby, Dani and I went to check out a restaurant near by a beach. Lots of young people sunbathing, frolicking in the sand. I looked behind me and saw the water level was rising. I turned back and started searching for Dani and Hubby.
We were in a building with white walls and bright lighting. I felt someone was watching me. I went to the nearby fire exit, wanting to follow a man I saw who just boarded the elevator going up.
I saw drippings of soda and ice. Someone spilled his coke several floors from above. I didn't want to climb the stairs further. Exiting from another floor, slowly I pushed the door open.
A troll (complete with white beard and a pointed hat), startled upon seeing me, started to panickly push me back to the door.

I woke up and started reviewing for my LOMA :p Do you think progesterone has something to do with these weird dreams? :p

Scared of you
Despite busy schedule and deadlines, our company's EWC managed to pull off an early Trick or Treat event for our kids yesterday.
Buti na lang nakisabay kami papasok kundi mas maaga pa kami dadating sa office. So umaga pa lang nanggugulo na anak ko hehe
She was everywhere. Nagustuhan nya yung sofa sa lounge area ng Office of the President. Buti na lang wala pang tao :D
Ok din ang maaga kasi may photo opps agad :D naka-mood pa
We brought with us her DVD Player so sinetup ko malapit sa table ko which made her sit still.. for a while until ikot na naman. By 10am she requested na for milk and I know she's sleepy na rin. Our VP previously gave a go signal that we can use his room for whatever reason while he's gone. So dun pumwesto ang anak ko for her morning nap :) It was almost 1pm when she woke up.
The other night, napuyat ako sa pagbabalot ng treats. Gusto ko kasi may iabot si dani sa ibang kids to serve na rin as ice breaker :) She made lots of friends, kids and adults kasi dami rin natutuwa lagi syang nakasmile :D
Sakit ng katawan ko ngayon kasi nagpabuhat sya the whole afternoon. We also need to visit the other building eh if we want to get treats from other department. Ok din ang decors ng iba, mostly nakakatakot :D Buti na lang hindi masyado natakot si Dani kahit na madilim sa ibang areas.
Dani doesn't have any of Clifford's books yet kaya hindi pa nya sya kilala. Pero ok lang, tuwa pa rin sya sa mascot.
They also gave a short Jollibee party for the kids at syempre andun si Jollibee. I don't have my cam with me na kasi nga buhay ko si dani while ate glenn naman is holding her treats and other stuffs. Will try to get a copy from the others tapos post ko dito pics nya :D
We just waited for hubby to pick us up. While waiting, dani saw this christmas tree at the lobby, hindi ko napansin nakapag-setup na pala sila. She loves to ride the escalator so pumayag lang ako twice and then I told her its enough na. Buti dumating na rin si hubby kundi maglilikot pa yun talaga.
The sky is starting to clear up as I write so sana hindi kami ulanin pag naglibot mya. My daughter's eyes literally lit up when she sees treats and candies, kakatuwa. Ok lang naman to let her eat sweet stuffs today, minsan lang naman eh ;) Malamang repeat ang costume nya hehe unless she prefers the crab hat :D
Overall, happy na ko she got to wear a costume for her first trick or treat experience :D

Best Boy Friends
After watching Bridge of Terabithia, I'm left all choked up with red puffy eyes and runny nose with the kind of "My Girl" dejavu ending.
* * *
Far back nursery, I can remember walking hand in hand with my schoolmate. He has this bunot hair cut. Can't quite remember if he's in my class.
When I was in Prep, I would give my baon to this boy whom I would pave way should I have been first in the slide. I never held hands with him.
Third grade, I felt my world ended when my best bud told me he'd be transferred to an exclusive all-boys school by next year. He's thin but taller than most guys, has a fair complexion matched with blondish hair. A couple of freckles sprinkled across his nose from one cheek to another. A certain Anthony Russel Bulacan. We held hands one time on our way to the chapel.
I wrote my first crush letter when I was in my Fourth grade. I don't know if he ever did find out it was from me. I handed it to him and told him it was from my cousin who saw him one time. I didn't get the chance to hold his hand.
I was paired with a boy for our flag retreat. Our hands touched as we pull the flag down and fold it in place. I thought I'd marry him someday. Kidding.
In the middle of a class, with my head on the clouds and my chin on my right hand I stared out of space and my mind started to wonder. Minutes passed by and something or rather someone called out my attention. Dexter S., seated a couple of rows in front, looking at me as if wondering why the hell am I staring at him. It was then that I really saw him. He's cute pala. My mind is trying to remember as whether he winked at me or playfully stuck out his tongue instead. Ah now I remember, he just smiled and waived his hand to me. We danced the waltz one time.
Summertime. My best girlfriend, Annie (who has a crush on bardino) and I would spend our afternoon hanging out in the nearby college ground. Tiffany's "I think we're alone now" will always remind me of this boy who sang and dance with me. I think he's Mark Rivera something.
I had a neighbor best bud, he'd tell me his chicks escapades. A two-timing sophomore mongrel on a mission to break hearts and make girls cry. He'd give me three small melons just because he knows I love them. So you think I'd be thrilled when he wrote me saying he fell in love and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. I never allowed him to hold my hand since then.

Where it officially began
guc_kitts
Originally uploaded by kitakitts
Through the years, we've had a couple of kodak moments here and there in Tagaytay. I wasn't that much excited when my initial plans did not push thru (obviously due to budget constraints). Turns out, we've got a few more to add in our memory lane.
We were set to do an early horse backriding beside Josephine's and proceed to Hawaiian BBQ for lunch. Lazy bones got into me plus it might be scorching hot by mid-day, we decided to swim first instead. As expected, Dani was tired after all that bouncing in the water, we were out of the house by a few minutes past 3pm.
Halfway to tagaytay, rain started. We passed time eating beef noodles in Chowking. Buti na lang, we had sunshine after our snack. So tuloy ang ligaya! :D
By 6:30pm Dani's already feeling at home in The Boutique's lobby area :D Two hours later, we're back in our humble abode ;) Anoher day well spent.
Happy anniversary, hubby! :)
Tagaytay: Picnic Grove
1. 4th Wedding Anniversary, 2. 1 picnic grove, 3. 2 horse backriding, 4. 3 group shotLast time we visit was March of this year. Nothing much changed, dami pa ring tao kahit na friday (may nagfield trip kasi).
P50/pax - Picnic Grove Entrance FeeDun sana kami sa malapit sa Josephine's sasakay ng kabayo eh kaso nagdadalawang isip pa si hubby kasi maputik nga. We decided to go to Picnic Grove na lang since medyo simentado yung area ng horse backriding nila. Importante lang makasakay si Dani kundi balik carousel sya sa SM na lang hehe.
P35 - whole day parking fee
P150/horse - rental fee per hour w/ guide
P150/horse - adventure trail
By the way, may bagong attraction sa Picnic Grove ngayon: Zipline and Cable Car. Based kanila manong Zipline will cost you P200/pax - one way or P300/pax - two way. You will need to pay P200/pax for the cable car. Medyo mahal tapos maikli lang yung line. As compared sa nakita namin sa Eden Park (kay susan tayo episode), parang mabagal yung zipline dito, so pass muna :D~~
sidebet: fat burners
Tagaytay: Hawaiian BBQ Grill
1. 4 boutique signage, 2. 4 boutique facade, 3. 4 boutique chandelier, 4. 5 dani lounge 2Prior to leaving our house, I've already made reservations as I'm afraid we might wait due to friday crowd (which never did appear that night). Puros mga hotel guests yung nakasabay namin magdinner.
1. 6 mushroom macadamia soup, 2. 6 bbq blue marlin steak, 3. 6 bbq orig baby back ribs, 4. 6 mixed veggies tempuraI had the hawaiian punch and mango shake for hubby. He also ordered on San Mig Light as an appetizer (talaga naman). Breakdown of expenses:
P450.00 - Orig BBQ Baby Back Ribs
P168.00 - BBQ Blue Marlin
P105.00 - 3pcs plain rice
P280.00 - Mushroom Macadamia Soup
P127.50 - Mixed Veggie Tempura
P125.00 - Hawaiian Punch
---------------
P1,323.50 - Amount due inclusive of 12% vat
+ 118.17 - 10% Service Charge
---------------
P1,441.67 - Total Bill
Hmm.. as I was typing the breakdown, I realized our mango shake was not included in the bill. Di bale, we didn't take na our change (added tip na rin kasi sana) so quits na lang :) We left quickly after getting the doggie bag, sleepy na kasi si dani.
I guess we didn't know yet the proper pairing of menu items so nasuya talaga kami sa karne. Medyo manipis kasi yung blue marlin as in single serve lang sya tapos the veggie tempura was dry din. Better siguro if we have steamed or buttered veggies. Maybe if I ordered the honey-mustard flavored ribs instead para maiba.
Not sure if there will be a next time, we'll see ;)
~~~
Sidebet: even if they had cookies, i doubt they'll share their cookie recipes hehe

Still on a holiday
Yup, hubby and I filed a vacation leave until tomorrow :) our connection seems to be cooperating. Yesterday three smart bro staff went here to check on our connection. They suggested we add another meter or two to increase the height of our wifi device. Hubby didn't want to kasi bubutasin na naman yung bubong namin. Not sure if there's a counter part of cell signal booster for internet, meantime hubby decided to apply for PLDT's myDSL plan. We'll see two to three days from now.

Weekend Photo: My First Airplane Ride
It was my first time to hop on the airplane ride. Buti na lang ate gerah was with me. My parents were half-worried half-excited, I can tell by their face. The ride started, I was smiling and waving hello as I pass by them. Turn after turn, fun's starting to fade and I just wanted the ride to stop. I cried as the operator didn't stop the ride immediately. So much for my first ride. -- Dani
