70% off in Rustans: A shopping post

This is a shopping post but not for me! haha! When Citibank texted regarding the 70% off on branded items in Rustans, we decided it's time for a new bag for mama. So we hopped to Shangrila Rustans and checked all the bags that are sale. But unfortunately, bags that are on sale are not that nice.

We settled for LongChamp Le Pliage Cuir. The Natural leather is so supple to touch and the lines found is distinctive that is soo chic and vintage! A must have for every generation. A plus is that it is so light, perfect for an everyday bag. I want one in other colors! Maybe in Duck Blue!!!

Our next shopping find was for my BIL. He already graduated college so my MIL wanted to give him a graduation present that he so well deserved! She wanted a watch for him to wear for his new job! And Tissot won. haha! The Tissot Racing Touch has other capabilities other than telling time. It has a compass, dual time zone capability and a backlight. But the most  nicest feature is that it could record lap times for runners! Cool noh! Sana Oti could maximized all it's functions hehe! Did I say that it's 15% off at Rustans? You could get one too! Sale is ongoing until end of July!

6 mos preggy and a new diet!

I talked about my 1st pregnancy here and you knew how hard it was to sustain a baby inside my womb. This time it was more easier. Maybe because my body grew accustomed to pregnancy. haha!

While on my monthly visit with my OB, she told me not to gain too much weight! haha! She was shocked when she saw me that day. It's good that the baby didn't grew too big and all the fat went to me! LOL! Bad for me good for the baby! So recommended me to change my diet and buy beef tenderloin steak only to be grilled with salt and pepper, no oil or butter. She also told me to eat lots of veggies and to watch my weight.

So while in the supermarket my MIL bought me beef tenderloin steak! haha! Love her to bits! My hubby cooked it for me and it was so tender even well done. yum! Need to watch my weight or else I would be having a hard time going back to my pre pregnancy weight after my baby is born.

Crocs Sale @ 70% off in NBC Tent

This is an over due post. When Citibank texted me regarding their exclusive 1st day sale of Crocs, I immediately ask my hubby if he wanted to go. We always wanted to buy a pair or two for our son.

When we got there the line was really really long. We got there about 1130 am, my hubby told me he'll fall in line first and me and MIL feed our son first.

After my son ate, we went there and found hubby still a loooong way to go! I told him why he didn't fall in line at the Senior/pregnant line. Haha! He said he didn't saw it. tsktsk. Sayang kung hindi kanina pa kami nasa loob hehe.. There was no line at the Senior/Pregnant line when we got there. So we ate muna at Mcdo then went inside. BTW, it started to rain very hard at medyo basa na kami. Pero go pa rin! Sugod sa sale kung sugod! hahaha!

When we got inside, I forgot to take pictures na kasi ang gulo! Nasa sahig lahat ng shoes. Parang warehouse sale and dating na puro boxes lang sa sahig. They also gave us big plastic bags for the shoes.

My Mil carried my son kasi kung hindi siguradong matatapakan siya at masisiko ng mga matatanda! Parang shopping frenzy ang nangyari. Nakisiksik din ako doon at nakipagagawan haha!

After checking each boxes, buti na lang may check out lane for senior/pregnant women. Kaya ayon mabilis din kami natapos. 

This is the loot that some of the people got. If we pay straight cash may dagdag na 10% discount pa. Installments are also offered but no added discount na.

Tuwang tuwang ang binata ko!

Kulang pa to ng dalawa kasi hindi ko na makita.

This is what we got for ourselves. Sayang madami na rin naubos kundi mas madami pa yan! haha!

Sponge bob crocs last 10 pairs

I thought I could not buy anymore for my son. Ubos na kasi sa loob ng tent. During check out I saw there was this girl went somewhere near the exit and got this. I asked her where she got the pair at tinuro ako doon. Ayun happy ako at least I got kahit 1 pair lang for my son. It's a steal at Php555 dating Php2,500! Buti may natirang konti hehe! Till next year! =))

Market day @ Legaspi Sunday Market

Last Sunday, my hubby and I went to Sunday Legaspi Market to buy some frozen goods. This is where we bought meats to make soup stocks for my son. I intend to make soup stocks only from organic meats for him only. Anything in excess we ate it for dinner hehe! 

We always bought meats consumable for at least 2 weeks. 2 chickens from Pamora Farm, 1 kilo of Sinigang cut pork and 1 kilo of Bulalo cut beef. Pork and beef came from Down-to-earth stall.

While going around the market, I saw a stall selling suman. I remember my MIL who loves to eat kakanin. I also became curious because there was so many people buying there. I went there getting 1 dozen of different flavors of suman. They are selling it at Php40 per piece! haha! I was shocked for the high price hahaha! But I paid it anyway.. nakakahiya ibaik.. titikman ko na lang lahat! hehehe! In fairness, masarap siya! I might buy next time pero 6 pcs lang kasi mahal! haha!

The loot we got cost me about 2k, but it was all worth it. I have no qualms regarding food basta nakakain at hindi nasasayang. My hubby is different though, kasi napopoop lang daw yun after kainin so sayang pera! haha! 

1st Bday of Mayque at Hyatt Ballroom

Last Sunday, we attended a birthday party of one of hubby's friend's daughter. It was celebrated in Hyatt Ballroom with catering services care of Sidewalk Cafe in Binondo. They also have NYFD fries, Yogurt and Big Chill. It was well organized since everyone have stubs for each booth and a table already assigned in the invitation. Theme is Doraemon I think. Since our invitation was led to a table with the face of Doraemon. haha!

This is Chinchi's son at 8 mos. 

Doing his thing with the straw

pa-cute lang. haha!

Yes ma! I want some more fries!

They also had magician that also host the party and a juggler that balance on top of a table. I took pictures of the juggler because he fascinated me and my hubby. He has a big belly but could balance great. He was also funny hehe!

Trying to balance on a plank

TADA!

Kunwari nahulog pa siya! haha!

He added some glasses too!

Overall, we were entertained by this juggler. He and his wife, I forgot to get their names.

Meanwhile my son was entertained with all the balloons there. Sinusundan nya lahat ng balloons. There was a time na nakalimutan niya ata nasa chair pa siya, Hala nahulog kasi inaabot yung balloon. I was one chair after him and can't get there in time, while his dad thought I was already there left him. Hay nako.. buti na lang carpeted yung floor. Grabe ang iyak ng binata ko. I was really worried!

After the commotion he caused, balik na uli sa dati. He chased again the balloons around the ballroom. This time on foot na hehe! Buti na lang walang masamang nangyari sa kanya. =)

Saturday weekend at Banana Leaf

We spent last saturday at Rockwell and ate dinner at Banana leaf. That's my son watching his Brainy Baby video at my Ipad. Siga umupo noh! He doesn't want to be strap anymore, malaki na daw siya haha! 

Of course we ordered Roti Canai. It's one of our favorites.

Hubby ordered his favorite Hongkong Style Curry.

While ordered my Malayan Chicken curry with potatoes.

MIL ordered her chicken in gata. Nakakaumay daw ito. While SIL ordered her veggies in gata. She's a vegetarian for life. No picture though because it's the same with chicken minus the meat.

We loved our simple dinner, it was filling. You can also try dishes in Banana Leaf Rockwell while dining at Pho Hoa. Magkatapat lang sila. I think same owner, that's why pwede umorder.
