catching up series: for our amazing dads

First of all, I would just like to remind you that it's 2016 on the blog right now. It's actually June 2016 and it's Father's day. Hehehe! Kaya ko to! Pasasaan ba't matatapos din 'tong catching up series na 'to. :P

So anyway, we usually don't celebrate days like this. I was trying to look for old posts to link up but I only found THIS, a father's day celebration back in 2011. I didn't even find one for mother's day. I  tried to recall what we usually do and I realized that oftentimes, we would only buy a cake or cook good food at home. Minsan nga, wala pa completely.

But back in 2016, it was a different story. I just got hired then, *kaching kaching* $$$, so I thought it's the perfect time to treat the family. It was actually a very happy phase in my life because I finally got back to the corporate world after three friggin' years of being a bum. The whole back story is in this POST so if you have more time to spare you can click on that link later. So ayun nga, sobrang masaya lang ako nito so aside from it was father's day, I had more reasons to celebrate.



So we went out for dinner tagging along our extended family. Yep, that's my cousin's little brood. Ayaw ko ng ikwento ulit kung bakit kami laging magkakasama. If you're curious why, you gotta read more of my posts. Hahaha! JK one half. :) We had dinner at Manam, roamed around a bit and then as usual, arcade for the kids! If my memory serves me well, parang we weren't very happy with the food at Manam. Yes they serve Filipino food, which is our all-time choice, but we felt like it's too pricey considering that the food is mediocre. 







Pero teka nga, may isa pa kong issue! Damn, look at that hair! I completely forgot that I sported a hairdo this dugyot. HAHAHA! What was I thinking?? I was so surprised when I saw the photos when I was organizing and editing them. Hay, regrets, regrets!

But if there's one thing that I'm not regretting, it is that we went out to celebrate the day of our amazing dads! (Oh, nasabi na yung title! :P Haha! Gets nyo?) It makes me feel good thinking that I've been dedicating my life in giving back to the people who took care of me, not just my parents, but my older cousins too! Unfortunately, my equally amazing aunts were taken early from us because I would have loved to do the same for them. But I know they're proud of us and they're smiling from heaven because we (my sisters and I) turned out to be #superaunties too! It's the best feeling knowing that you are able to give back and pay forward also. Syempre, all that while working on yourself too! So ayun na nga, napareflect ako! I should probably write about my childhood heroes one of these days. It's just that I got to appreciate them more, now that the tables have turned. 

But for tonight, my kwento ends here. Enjoy the photos but please don't judge my hair. I can't forgive myself either. Hahaha! :))

full on father's day

Work-life balance, where art thou? :(

I've been preoccupied with work. Today, I spent 12 hours in the office. 11 busy hours, 1 hour for lunch. I live such an exciting life, gah! But I don't want to go on a blog hiatus so here I am, trying to sneak with a quick post. I just thought of sharing how we spent Father's Day.

We were so creative to have thought of dining out {felt the sarcasm? haha!}. We went to TriNoma for Kamay Kainan's Buffet. It was worth P298 per head. Eat all you can plus bottomless iced tea. The food was good but not too impressive. The place isn't conducive neither as it was jam-packed. What do you expect on a Father's Day?

Me and my sister had a hard time paying for the bill because my father was insisting that he'd be the one to pay for it. Anobeee, treat nga namin dba papi? :D At the end, we won! Pinagbigyan lang I guess, because no one really wins over him. He's the most mapilit dad one will ever have. 

We didn't had time to do anything else aside from eating as it was late already.  After all, we all wanted to go home as we were so full. We were home by around 11. Short rest and then off to a goodnight sleep. Buuurrp! 

we ate until we can't hardly breathe

somewhere in TriNoma

P.S 
aka, a note to the father
Happy Father's Day again Papi. Thanks for everything. You and mama were able to bring up such an awesome family and that will always be my first reason for feeling so blessed.  I wish us years and years of happiness. I love you. ♥

P.P.S
Salamat nga din po pala sa hindi katangusang ilong at hindi kagandahang height na pinupunan naman ng tapang ng loob at saktong bilang ng braincells. Nagmamahal, kamukamo. :D
