Missing vacations and dreaming of the next one

My life is way too busy for me these days, aside from working as a consultant in an international organization, I am teaching kindermusik in two schools.

My week starts Monday to Saturday, and to make it even more wonderful, I have two School Family Days to attend to, surprising health check-ups to prioritize, and the Christmas season slowly creeping up on me...whew!

Life as a mother/wife/sister/teacher/consultant/singer/blogger gets so exciting sometimes...

Suddenly, I miss the sun, sand, and sunset...simple times yet so precious

Recharging at Bangui, Ilocos Norte, June 2012

Whenever I am drowned by the daily grind, I simply look back and remember these happy simple times and I begin to relax...

Dreaming of the next ones right about now...

Photoshoot:A great family bonding activity


One birthday girl insisted the whole family go on a photoshoot. 
Not usually our style, but it turned out to be one great family bonding moment. 



And indulge we did, on laughter, love and simply life. Take a break, go have a photoshoot!

Updated Post: More Fun in Circle of Fun, Quezon City


I wrote a post about Circle of Fun in 2010.   I'm happy to note that this post alone has gotten 3,300+ hits in the internet. I hope that more families go to Quezon City to visit the Circle of Fun.

Since then, new rides and attractions were installed.


Pedal or Paddle?




Clean track for renting pedals


Man-made lake where you can paddle your duck boats


Bigger and better carousel


Wheel of excitement

Water fun


 Bump your way around town

A ride to the stars

Bring your children and experience the fun at Circle of Fun.

It's more fun in Circle of Fun!

======================================
Post from 2010:

I am always on the look out for fun stuff to do for kids on weekends. Recently, my kids and I travelled not far from our home, at Circle of Fun, Elliptical Road in Quezon City. I was surprised that they renovated the the park to include a playground (Circle of Joy), a bike rental (P 100/hr) and a theme park (Circle of Fun) with different rides and activities not only for children but also for adults (e.g. Wild Wind, Bump cars, water zorb, swing carousel, duck rides, animal carousel, Dinousaur, Alien and Egpytian-theme houses).







Parking entrance fee for cars is P15.00. The Circle of Joy is free but the Circle of Fun has an entrance fee of P 20.00 per adult/kid (more than 3 meter in height). Ride fees average from P30.00-50.00 per adult/kid. Not bad for a theme park, although the size and variety of rides is not comparable with Enchanted Kingdom, of course, but nevertheless the joy and happiness that children get from them is the same. My kids loved them.













If you walk further down the biking area, you will be able to go to the Quezon musuem where they have several memorabilia of President Manuel L. Quezon. There is no entrance fee, only a minimal donation for the musuem. The guard said that the remains of President Quezon are still inside the musuem but when I researched it in the internet, it says that since the 1970s, the remains are no longer there.

Anyway, I am glad that the Quezon City government was able to renovate the place, I see a lot of people riding bikes, strolling with their kids, eating ice cream, exercising, and just plain enjoying the green landscape in the center of a busy metropolis. I hope that the new administration of Mayor Bautista would continue and further improve the park so that more and more people would be able to enjoy it.

And now, whenever we pass by Circle, my kids always point to the park, with a happy smile on their faces.

P.S.The downside there is that there is no good quality restaurants near the playground area. The restaurant area of the park is at the front of City Hall, which is already far from the playground area. I hope the administration will further improve the dining facilities inside the park so that it becomes another UP Technohub area : )

I can almost reach it, this dream I'm dreaming...

One step at a time leads me closer to you...Next stops are Barangay Clearance, Mayor's Permit and BIR : )
I'm consumed by a lot of activities this February that's why I haven't been blogging lately. 
I'll come back after my vacation in Misibis.

Its more Fun in the Philippines

I got to have my say on this Tourism Campaign, which is already going viral. Although Im not surprised because truly, its more fun in the Philippines. 
Im so happy that I am able to share my passion for chasing sunsets in this campaign.

I love the Philippines!

The Promise of 2012 and The Girl with the Dragon and Leo Tattoos

Happy New Year everyone!

I promise to go outside my box this year, this year being my Zodiac year.
I will push the limits as I possibly can, combining my Dragon and Leo traits. 
This year is about experimenting and trying out things I have not the courage to try before.
This year is about claiming my dreams and putting the pieces of my life and family together.



Here's to a more challenging and equally fruitful new year! Cheers!
