Home Town is ❤

Long weekend.. and the weather says it’s summer! A great time to hit the beach (or a resort) and spend it with family..

and while I was searching for a good travel deals online, I realized, why not my hometown? There’s a really nice resort there, and it’s a good time to visit my grandmother…

Friday afternoon and we’re heading north!

SCTEX is the fastest route, but opted for Maharlika Highway, because of this:

Baliwag stop over for Balot and Hotdog! It’s been a while.. it’s been 2 years since our last visit.

The next day, we prepared for a day of fun, fun, fun. Swimming day at Hunter Valley!

Sunday, we went to visit my grandmother at Talavera. The kids had fun running around and we went home with a few additional plants for my garden!

Of course Talavera visit is not complete without Pastillas (will have this on a separate post):

We went home with a full stomach and heavy but happy heart! The ride back home was long and hubby’s back was aching, had to watch a few massage training videos, to treat my hubby. I was tired from that weekend too.. but seeing the kids with a happy smile, that weekend was worth it.. bitin nga lang!

The Suki Planner (Mercury Drug Suki Daybook 2013)

because I am a suki.. I got this from Mercury Drugstore:

It was only recently that I got really serious with this suki card thing. In fact, the past few days, I even buy our toiletries there.. if Mercury has toys or musical equipment I think I will buy from them too, for the sake of gaining more suki points (but we know we can only buy sonare flute from guitar center). Sometimes I feel like we were not just suki, feeling ko stock holder na kame! What, with the amount I spend at the drugstore for vitamins alone, you’d be surprised! Multivitamins for us as well as Vitamin C, and when kids are sick, the amount is doubled. Kaloka lang mga teh!

But yeah, thank goodness for loyalty programs such as the suki card.. now I have a really nice planner that I can use. The planner is simple and writable.. you know what I mean? It’s not too pretty that you’d end up NOT using it. Yes, like the one from Starbucks, my 2012 planners ends up somewhere in my box of loots. It is so pretty eh, i don’t have the heart to use it!

Another thing I like about the Suki planner is this:

Oh yeah! discounts overload! And discounts for most of the products I use (meron din discount for Aqiva milk! yay!)

You can have your own Suki planner (Suki Daybook) for 30 suki points and Mercury ball pen for 1 point (maximum of 3 pens a day). I am not sure with the suki planner if we can have more than one. But who needs more than one planner?

I am not into loyalty programs.. I don’t even have an advantage card! pero now, I am a convert hahaha teka nga makatakbo sa SM at makakuha ng advantage card.

My Christmas Wishlist

Dear Santa,

I have been so good this year.. I think.. remember last week I already shut the meanie inside me. In fact I have been so consistent on not putting my dirty laundry on Faceboook (that’s a lot of self control I tell yah!) And I already moved on with some people from my past. I realized I am too blessed to dwell on negativity..

So I guess, that made me a nice girl this year.. and so will you grant my wish this year? please? pretty please?

The other day, just when the writing mojo is back, I learned that my keyboard gave up. No thanks to my little girl who spilled her drinks on it. Milk spills, juice spills, water spills and sometimes even coffee spills, how can my keyboard survive that? Of course it can, if my keyboard is washable. You know Santa, a washable keyboard can be found in almost every computer shop. I can send you a link if you want to.. teehee

And you know I have lost a lot of weight already.. from 167 lbs early this year, I am down to 129 lbs (or less). That’s almost 20lbs already! I am nearing my target weight which is 125 lbs.. So dear Santa, I really need a few new clothes. I have been browsing the fashion section at Not On The High Street website and bookmarked a few dresses, few skirts and blouses. I can email you the links if you want to. But before that, let me reach my desired waistline first. I’ll tell when it is time to shop.

Lastly, a micro four thirds would be a nice addition to my slowly growing camera collection (well if you include mobile camera to that). A white one with two lens zoom kit (you know the one with 10-30mm and 30-110mm) would be good. It’s cheaper now, I think.

My Christmas wishlist is short Santa so please make it happen.

Love,

Mommy Pehpot
