A Visit to the National Museum

Last Saturday, we visited the National Museum. My officemate, who went there previously, confirmed that entrance fee is free.

And since it is free, we grabbed the opportunity to visit. It was my dream to have a photo of the Spolarium. Babaw ko, ano?

The National Museum is in good condition. There are roving guards everywhere to make sure that no one is touching the displays. Sofia got intrigued with some of the paintings that she touched them and was told by the guards not to.

She asked me, "Mommy, bakit lahat no touch?" I told her that those are very important pieces and we must be careful for the paintings not to break or get damaged. She replied, "E 'di lagyan natin ng scotch tape." Yep, scotch tapes solve all things in the eyes of a child. Hahaha!

Sofia enjoyed the open space more than the paintings. She does not appreciate the artworks yet. During our long walk, she also had a bout of stomachache. She was happier seeing benches and chairs for her to sit down than seeing the paintings and busts displayed.

I think when the kids are older we'll bring them there again.
Here are some photos of our trip.










Live, love, laugh with the family!

Japanese Potato Salad Recipe

Image
I have tried the potato salad at Ippon Yari, and I loved it. So I tried researching the recipe for a Japanese potato salad, and I found a simple version. I tried it, and it tasted good. Quarter the potatoes and boil for 15 minutes. Drain the water. Mash the potatoes, but not thoroughly. There should still be chunks visible. Julienne the carrots and blanch. Minced onions. Peel the cucumber and slice thinly. Set aside. Shred the ham. Add all ingredients together. Add the kewpie mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for an hour or so. It's that easy. Live, Love, Laugh with Family!

Welcome Back, Daddy!

Image
First time ng mga bagets na magsundo sa Daddy nila sa airport. Kahit two hours na delayed yung flight, hindi nawala excitement nila.  Buti na lang may Lego blocks sa Terminal 3. They were kept occupied during the long wait.   Sayang, di ko na sila napicture-an nung dumating si Daddy kasi pati ako naoverjoyed. :D:D:D

In Summer! Volets Hotel and Resort

Image
Hi Everyone, "Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam." -Olaf Sun-kissed skin. Upbeat music. Peals of laughter. A perfect summer getaway. It is my first time to visit Volets, and it did not dissapoint. Volets is a perfect swimming venue for kids and kids-at-heart (and for people who do not know how to swim like me. Learning to swim remains in my bucket list. Maybe I'll learn with Sofia. :D). There's the wave pool, the Olympic size pool, 2 kiddie pool areas, lazy river for the kids and lazy river for the adults. There's no way you can get bored, because there are many pools to switch to, and each one is different from the other. What I liked about the place are the shallow pools. I was not in constant fear for the safety of the kids. I was also able to enjoy being in the water, especially the lazy river and the falling water from the huge bucket.
