[store finds: TOTES, SATCHELS & DRAWSTRINGS]

We bought some nice, affordable bags in the two malls we visited this weekend.

[hk sojourn 2011: DISNEYLAND PART 2]

After taking that safari boat ride in ADVENTURELAND, we went to FANTASYLAND, a place where 'Disney stories come to life'.

[hk sojourn 2011: DISNEYLAND PART 1]

"One is never too old for Disney."

This is exactly what came to my mind when I decided to book our family trip to HK Disneyland the summer of 2011. Since my daughters just stepped out of grade school & high school, I thought of this trip as our graduation gifts to them.

I transacted online for our plane tickets & hotel accommodations. For the theme park tickets, ours were purchased at the main entrance upon our arrival at the hotel. As booked guests, we were entitled to reserved tickets. 

After taking a cab from the airport, we went straight to the park since it was  too early for check-in. We had  a look-see first of the area & took pictures.

[hk sojourn 2011: DISNEYLAND'S HOLLYWOOD HOTEL]

A close friend suggested for us to stay in one of the hotels inside Disneyland for convenience's sake.  Though the hotel rates are much higher inside the theme park, I decided to just go for it since I wanted this trip to be filled with good memories for the girls. =)

I booked  online for our Hollywood Hotel stay. Right after a short peek & some photo ops at the theme park entrance, we went straight to the hotel to check in.

The hotel's theme is Hollywood with all-things-Disney. Kids & kids-at-heart would love to be in a place like this. It brings out only happy feelings. ;)

[truly EVERYBODY'S CAFE]

So lucky to be married to a Kapampangan because we get to relish their cuisine every time we crave for good food. 

When hubby brought us here the first time, the girls & I were instant fans!  This place serves no ordinary home-cooked meals. The flavors are more defined. 

Yesterday, we found ourselves going back to this place for lunch. We just came from Kirsten's orthodontist appointment, the clinic being just around the area.

We had these.

[wish i had a son]

My girls are already our blessings. But when I see a  boy this adorable & talented, secretly, I wish I also had a son. ;)

Four-year-old KAI sang Bruno Mars songs when he guested twice in the Ellen Show.

These girls are, & will always be, my reasons why I celebrate Mothers' Day with a thankful heart.

Step into this new game-changing retail store located at Level 3 of the C2 Building at Bonifacio High Street Central. 

[my SLICE of friendship with MOMMY FLEUR]

We agreed to just meet up after Anika's birthday bash last April 9. It's been awhile since we had girl talk. After 2 postponements, we finally did an early dinner/ tête-à-tête yesterday at SLICE, BHS Central.

[ANIKA gets her birthday wish]

My goddaughter, Anika had a Doc McStuffins birthday in their home a month ago.
