Sister's treat....Yes Baguio again!

So my sister took a month off from work to make way for a much needed vacation. Her itinerary includes a 4days, 3nights trip to Baguio. Nothing could be more fun and complete than bringing the whole family along. So yeah, off we all went on the 12th until the 15th of December to my favorite cold city of pines!






As usual, I got in charged of room reservation. We could have just stayed at a hotel since I know quite a number of fine hotels in Baguio but I thought a big group like us requires a spacious room for kids to run around and a kitchen for us to cook, you know a family of ten would cost them less to cook than to eat at a restaurant.  Thus, a transient house would be a perfect place.

My first choice was an affordable but very stunning house in Benguet, but it was fully booked at the time I inquired so I settled for Le Chateau in Upper Quarry. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room…just the right one for us. Its kitchen is fully equipped with tools and appliances from spoons, knives, cookwares to gas stove, ref, microwave oven…name it, the unit has it.

Matter of fact, we were able to cook goat stew. Yes goat! There’s a lot in Baguio market sir!

Halayang ube anyone? Yes sir, that too! YUM.


Our unit...no aircon but superrr cold during night time.


The boys....getting warm with Empppy...


Don't you just love the christmas decor?











Why does Christmas come and go quickly? I mean think about it, come December, we hardly get plenty of time to enjoy every minute of it. Everyone seems so busy having vacations, doing Christmas parties here, there and everywhere, rushing into malls…ahhh why do I always get overwhelmed during December?

Too many good things everywhere I look, everyone is nice and happy! I have done a lot but there’s still much left to do that I almost couldn’t keep up…I couldn’t breathe! Was December 1st just yesterday? Wow I can’t believe more than half of my favorite month is gone and before we know it, baaam...Christmas!  Hey Christmas, we love you but will you go slow? Don’t end yet please…pretty please?

MMDBCS UN Celebration 2014

So I took time off from work to attend kids annual UN celebration at school. Halloween costume party you say? Very not a catholic school thing but kids wearing different national costumes in time for Halloween is a brilliant alternative.

Disclaimer: Photo loaded post....

Would you guess what country my son's costume is from? Wrong. INDIA!

Here's my niece, Madee in Vietnam inspired costume. And look, they hold hands...i like it :)




The turban took me hundred years to assemble..I gotta say I did better than whoever did the kid's turban on the right...just my opinion lolz.




By the way, Julien got red swollen left eye...sad :(

What's on the floor guys?

Really...what's on the floor? Curious now.





My niece got the prettiest hair, agree? Only the ribbon is upside down :) but baby that's sooo cute.

Look closely...your majesties (king and queen) are having a cute conversation.

Seriously, what's the kid in blue costume doing? Epic hahaha.




Madee is squeezed between two cute chubby chicks, aww!

Oh here you are kenzie! I love love that smile :)









Here come the pinoylets..



Strike a pose yeah! Who is this lovely girl? Cuteness overload <3









It's when they hold hands still..that another friend got jealous. #thelook.

Poor boy...I know your eye hurts.

Holding back a yawn..still handsome!



Sorry but I just can't get enough of this gorgeous boy!

FYI, I got the costume concept on the internet then I contributed a bit of the design. The cloth was bought from the market by me and husband. Finally the costume was sewn by....I forgot his name. Sorry naman po. I'll find a way to know..promise.
