HeRe wE gO...

yah i know, i owe you guys lots and lots of stories about our vacation...

i gotta start catching up before things slipped from my head...

hmmmmmm, where to start?!?!
May 3

>>> The day we flew back to manila. Bulky luggages on hand and still wearing the most sweetest smile on our face. We may not be having that much money in hand but we're full of warm thoughts. This is it, the time with full excitement but at the same time worried. Nevertheless, we're both positive that everything will be well.

We departed around 6:10 pm (AUH local time).

May 4

>>> We're back in Manila. Arriving @ 10:10 AM via Cathay Airways. It's such a lovely day, weather was so nice and the feeling of being home again is exceptional. Happiness fills the air and i can really say that it's good to be home.

We're Home at last...

May 5

>>> After having a long sleep, we finally manage to arrange our stuffs and distribute the pasalubongs to our excited families. Their smiles says it all. Day 1 seems to be busy.

May 6-9

>>> We visited some of our relatives and friends and of course partly shopping. Lucky me, few malls are currently on sale, yupieee... Out of curiosity, we decided to visit Mall of Asia (MOA) together with my family. It's quite huge and lots of stores to choose from, but nothing in particular amazed me. Or maybe i should have tried watching a movie in MOA, 'coz as what i've heard their cinema is 1 of the best, but unfortunately time didn't permit us to do so, hmmm, better try some other time...

May 10-17

We stayed for a week in batangas to be with my in-laws as well as to celebrate mother's day and it's also the 71st birthday of my mother in-law. Nothing that much. Visited few malls and enjoyed the small birthday celebration. Because of the fact that we don't have much activities while staying there, surprisingly in just a week we easily gain weight.

May 18

Back to my parents home. We collected our official wedding album (the lay-out was so awesome - we love it!!!) we'll post some of it soon, so better watch out! My hubby decided to have his hair done (it's my mom's request) even if he doesn't feel like doing it, uhmmmm, well he have to do so (sorry hon!!!)... And we spend the rest of the day watching TV while resting in the couch!!!

May 19 (Day time)

It's a 3 in 1 celebration, my mom's birthday, my parents 30th wedding anniversary and our house warming. It was a busy day. Waking up early was really hard, but we have to, house blessing starts at 10-ish AM. As expected, the priest came late. Anyhoo, the house warming went on (opssss, out of excitement, we forgot to take photos and videos, what the heck!!!). At 12-ish, guests starts to pop-up, new and old faces come and go... It was fun but yet so tiring...

May 19 (Night time) - 20

Overnight swimming in a private pool in laguna. My hubby decided to throw a small party for his mom. As agreed by the rest of his siblings they arranged to have it in a private pool. This will be a post celebration of mother in-law's 71st birthday. We had a great time with the whole mendoza family, though electricity suddenly shut in the middle of the night, everybody managed to be cool and enjoyed the night... The morning came to be the videoke day, anyone who can get a 100 score will receive a prize of P500 in cold cash courtesy of my hubby's auntie... guess how many won?!?!?! only 1 won the prize (well, well, i think the machine was such a cheater---heheh)...

May 21-23

Shopping galore at Tiendesitas and Market-Market...

May 24

Another family outing at Antipolo City with the whole Sumo-Ocreto Family. It's oh so fun. Attending an 8-ish AM mass at Antipolo is the first thing we did before flocking ourselves to Lory Land Resort. The resort is quite huge with lots of pools to choose from. We're in deed happy 'coz the entire family had a great time...

May 25 (Night time)

My loving uncle (brother of my mom) passed away. It was really sad for the whole family. It was so sudden that at first i was not able to believe it. 9.50 PM, I was standing right next to him when he was about to be rushed to the hospital. His face shows all the pain, he's pale and having a hard time catching his breath. He once glance at me, i will never forget that time. He was accompanied by his daughter together with my cousins to the nearest hospital. At 10:45 PM, while we are watching TV, our phone rang, after 3 rings i told my hubby to pick it up. It was my cousin, my hubby hand me the phone. My cousin called to say that our uncle is gone, i can't believe it, i ask her to repeat it for me, and it's really true... i don't know what to utter, tears fell... Since i was the first person they've informed, i have to shoulder the responsibility to tell the rest of the family... We are all awake till almost dawn...

May 26

My brother and sister flew back to Dubai.

May 27 - 30

We spent most our time at the wake of my uncle. Goodbye to our beloved uncle, 'til we meet again...

May 31

Starting to pack our things... so sad... Our vacation is almost over...

June 1-2

Back to batangas to spend some more time with my in-laws before leaving for Dubai. We went to Lian Batangas for another family outing courtesy of my hubby's auntie. Nothing much on that day, we didn't swim, our time was purely spend chatting and goofing around with the entire family...

June 3

Again back to home base to finish packing our stuffs and do some more shopping...

June 4

Well it's time to say goodbye, time really flies so fast... I hate goodbye's, it makes me cry all the time...
