Minalungao National Park, An Ecotourism Marvel in Nueva Ecija

July 2, 2016…a Saturday. And our wandering feet strikes again. We embarked on a day trip to satisfy our wanderlust. We left our house with just a light breakfast, our swimwear, and a few clothes…nothing else. Oh, and the tent that never left the trunk of our car, ready to be pitched anytime, anywhere.

The previous night, Jonjie and I talked about a possible place to explore. But for those of you who are familiar with our road trips, our destination is never final until we reached the place.

Daily Log: One Lazy Sunday Morning

It is Sunday…

Jonjie woke up first, and after several minutes he woke me up because he is hungry. We decided to let Daniz sleep a little more…to regain her strength as she had cough and colds and a slight fever last night.

We had breakfast.

And then, we decided to join Daniz in bed. She woke to her Daday’s crazy antics…and the “kulitan” and the crazy moments began.

I LOVE MY FAMILY...

5 Things To Do @ SM Clark, Pampanga: Family Saturdate

This is one of those Saturdays that though we wanted to snooze in bed but we had to get up early because of our 10:30 am appointment with the dentist. 

And we took advantage of our day at the mall, thus the following activities:

1.  Visit Dentista’s Kido Dental Clinic

When Daniz was three years old, she had an accident that resulted for her two upper front teeth to be removed by surgery…and it traumatized her. Add to it was her fear of needle, therefore, dentist equals fear equals imaginary pain.

It was her second visit to the Kido Dental Clinic with Dr. Brenda Manganaan Eleria for sealant of her two lower molar teeth, the first one was teeth cleaning. For both of the visits, Daniz was crying  but thanks to Dr. Brenda’s patience in explaining the procedure and introducing her to the different dentist’s tools and even letting her try it on herself, she's looking forward to her third visit this coming September.

2. Bungee Jumping

 

I asked her why she like bungee jumping and her simple answer “she feels happy and a little bit scared”. She was one of the first and loyal customers of bungee fun at SM Clark. Whenever a reward is coming her way for a job well done, at home or at school, her first choice would be bungee fun. There was a time that she did 9 minutes straight (3 sessions at 3-mins per session). For her latest bungee jumping, please click here.

3. Lunch @ The Sandwich Guy

Bacon and Egg for Daniz, Mushy Bacon for Daday, and Pulled Pork for myself. While having our lunch, we had a chance to talked to the two key persons of the store. We mentioned about our concerns regarding the pictures on their menu board against the actual items...that for the customers it can be a case of false advertising. They said that it was already elevated to the management...

4. Check Sale Items @ Uni Qlo

Personally, I love the pants of Uni Qlo...the materials and the fit. But, you will not catch me buying their regular priced items...

5. Picture…Picture…

    

Picture...picture "pag may time" if she's in the mood. And this was one of those days that she's camera friendly.

Then, it was time to head home…it was a fruitful day. Our visit to the dentist was another small triumph for Daniz and we were able to enjoy the day afterwards.

How about you...what are "the things you do" in the mall? Please feel free to share you thoughts...leave your comments.

Family Pictures Through the Years...The Three of Us

Countless times, ever since Daniz grasped the concept of family, she would asked “Are you happy, I am your daughter?”.

When we answered “Yes, of course”, she would smile her sweetest and say “Because of me, we became family?”

Happy Father's Day, Daday!

You have been a father for just 8 years

But it's like you've been doing it forever

Yes, Daniz is so blessed to have you as her father

No one could do it better than you are doing it now

I clearly remember the first time we saw her

I have waited for the twinkling eyes

And the brightest smile amidst the tears

But for you...it was love at first sight

Without reservation

You have chosen to be a full-time Daday

And set aside your needs and wants

So one of us will always be there for her

No one could love her more

Understand her needs

Guide her to be the best that she can be

No one...but you.

She was our gift from God

The child of our hearts

But you are her greatest blessing

Her forever Super DADAY.
