HK vacation 2010 (day 1)

We had a short vacation in Hong Kong. As we don't have plan to have a party for Iya's upcoming 2nd birthday, we decided to bring her to the happiest place on earth.. Disneyland! :) Drix and I have been there more than 2 years ago and I was pregnant with Iya. Of all the places we toured in HK, I heart Disney the most. I like it better than Ocean World, where the attractions are way far from each other.

Anyway, weeks before the date, i was checking several sites to check the weather. Forecast is all cold (15-12 Celsius) and scattered rains. But this doesn't dampened our spirits, so much for the excitement (lol). With our jackets & umbrellas, we're ready. Until we arrived the airport.. boy it was really COLD!



We ride the MTR to the Disney Hollywood Hotel (got a discount for 3 nights booking). It started to rain as we reached the hotel. The rooms are great as the picture shows in their site. Iya was so happy about the carpeted floor that even when you put her in the bed she will go down and sit on the floor. And since it was a Disney hotel, she was still able to watch her disney channels. After an hour of resting, we headed for the Ngong Ping. But due to the drizzles, we decided not to go up. Its for Iya's good as we don't want her to get sick due to the cold weather. We just stayed at the Citigate Outlet Mall. Got some few stuffs here and then we have dinner. We return to the hotel and called it a night.

Big Foot

Iya has been changing shoes so fast. It's because her feet is BIG. I know it's normal for kids to overgrown their shoes fast, but we have to buy her every 3 months considering we buy bigger size than her size. And the problem with new shoes, she doesn't want to wear them. :) She would really cry if you force her to try new shoes. And I can’t find the same shoe style after 3 months. I know I can’t complain coz she got the genes from me. But really kids shoes are expensive. That's why I try to buy on sales because she wont really were them that long. 

Oh, but she love shoes (and bags)!

Iya's Favorites

The following are Iya's favorites at 21 months.

Dish: Sinigang (with rice)
Show: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (I think it's most of the kids favorite cartoon show)
Footwear: Hello Kitty flat pink shoes (She would wear it the whole day)
Fruit: Banana (She could eat half of it)
Word: Daddy pronounce as "Dad-di" (Not necessarily her favorite parent. :D)
Place: Mall or Playground (Mall was apparently influenced by her Mommy)
Playmate: Lem (They talk like German & Russian kids but they still understand each other)
Toys: Ball or Kitchen Play Set (It's more on a favorite thing to throw)
Song: If your happy song clap/hurray/stamp(dunno the title :D)

New Work

It's been a month since I move to a new company. The environment is really different & so far I'm liking it. The perks are good and I'm having more time with Iya. I have attended my first DnD, it's usually Christmas Party with my previous companies.;p So many things to learn and I hope I can cope up easily (cross fingers).. will see in the next months to come.

Sick

I'm sick. Monday I have sore throat, tuesday I have blocked nose & chills, today I have cough. :( I went to the doctor, he said it's just the normal flu, gave me meds and 2 days MC. I slept and wake up by 3 to eat lunch. I can't play with Iya, afraid that she will get the flu from me. So I'm here inside our room while Iya plays outside. :(

Just got a phone call, :) Hope everything turns well..

Ondoy

I saw it facebook, I thought it was just another rainy saturday. But this one is different, floods has reached almost the whole of Manila, Cainta, Marikina, Pasig and the list goes on. I felt sad and worried about my relatives & friends who lives in that area. Floods occupied mostly the ground floor of their homes if not the whole house. Good thing that everyone is okay. Although most of them didn't save any thing, at least they are safe. Life is much important than anything else. Thank God for keeping my relatives & friends safe.

I'm really proud that Filipinos are still helping each other in their own ways. And in time, I hope everyone can recover from this tragic incident.

Iya Kulit Moments

Iya is calling Drix as "Dad-di". But I'm calling Drix "ney' (short for Honey). I guess she mistook it and eventually she is trying to call Drix as Ney lately. Hehehe. Can't really blame her as she is learning. :)

*****

Just this morning we were leaving the house, I took my sandals from the cabinet and just drop it on the floor. One shoe fell upside down. I was about to flip it when Iya suddenly grab it and put it in place near my foot. :D

****

Iya is so attentive in answering our phone. When it rings she will answer with a Hi or sometimes she would just babble. I tried in once and pretend that I was talking to her (we're on the same room and she can see me). She answered back every thing I ask her as if she can understand everything I say. Hehehe.
