1st Family Trip of the Year

Every year, as a family we make it a point to go on a travel atleast once or twice a year depending on my husband's free time at work and off course --- the budget! Lol. We chose March as it is my Hubby's birth month and our 5th wedding anniversary month. This time, we picked Huntington Beach for our destination and a quick stop in SanDiego to see my loved ones before they head to the Philippines for the holyweek.

It's our 2nd time to be in Huntington. The first time we went there was when I got to visit my grandma then she toured us at the Huntington Pier. We find the place so clean, not so crowded, nice parking space and despite of the cold water, the warm weather is so perfect to hangout. I guess im just really looking forward to warm weather since it has been chilly here in Newman for the longest time. lol!.. We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel which is I believe 5miles away form the beach. Traffic is not so bad as going to the main city.

Before heading towards Huntington, we made a lunch stopover and a little shopping at the Citadel Outlet and left when it was ready for us to check-in.

 

 

Mar 14, 2019 my hubby's birthday and our 2nd day in Socal. We went to grab some lunch and spent the rest of the morning and afternoon at the beach. Kids had fuuuuuuun and at night time, we got to meet my youngest brother-in-law at the Orange Outlet who lives in the Orange County. We always go to that outlet whenever we are in SoCal and again did a little shopping and more of window shopping hahaha!!.. Kids went to sleep right away after shower after a long tiring and fun day at the beach :)

Mar 15, 2019- last day in Huntington and left the hotel at 9AM and headed to SanDiego Ca where my Mom's mom and sisters lived. First we had a lunch stopover at Jollibee in Plaza Blvd National City then dropped off the kids to my Aunt's house because its time for our couple's massage FINALLY!!! at the Happy Head Massage and Reflexology in Chula Vista. It was the best 1hour of my life HAHAHA!!!.. Then after the massage, we went back to pick up the kids and my Mom and Dad (actually my Aunt and Uncle) accompanied us to check in at the Viejas Casino and Resort for a 3days and 2nights stay. As you can see in my vlog, that's where my phone's memory went full! lol!... I'll do better next time haha..

Mar 16, 2019- we explored the Viejas Casino Outlet (yes, we love exploring outlet shop!) then met with my relatives again to dine at Fung Fung Yuen in Miramar until we head back to the hotel and get some rest and pack up for our trip back home the next day.

Mar 17, 2019- headed back home here in Newman. Hubby is complaining a sore in his legs and butt.. oohh!! poor daddy!!.. that's what you get when you don't allow me to long drive hehe..

So there you have it, our little get away and we're still looking forward for more. As a matter of fact, we already booked for April for Universal Studio with my friend and her daughter so I'll sure do share our trip again. Btw, I hope you enjoy this video and God bless everyone!

For the first time after a long time!

Ola kumusta?:) it's been a while since my last post. I am currently 13weeks and 6days pregnant  and I have been veeeeery lazy on my first trimester. Too busy that I couldn't find time to update this blog. I was so lazy to work online too (good thing one of my contract with my client ended last January) so I had a plenty of time chillin' at home.  However, in-spite of being lazy, I was busy decorating my daughter's playroom.  Yes! its like thats the only task I wanted to spend time with lol!,, I had a lot of energy going on a Dollar Store trips for some fancy decorations and all that stuff. I had it with a School Themed Playroom so that her learning wouldn't stop during playtime and im glad she is having a good time eventhough she plays alone most of the time. (don't worry baby, im still baking your playmate in my tummy-oven) I will have a playroom tour video once it's 100% done.

So what's up with everyone? My family was on a couple of trips this past months.  We were in Lats Vegas last Mar.2-4,2017 for my Hubby's 9th Annual GI Conference and it was held at Aria hotel where we also stayed. It was a staycation for me and Shiloh while Hubby is in the conference.  It was too warm and sunny in Vegas to walk in the strip in the afternoon but I must admit that I miss this kind of weather. I was able to wear shorts, dress and  light clothing since it was always chilly and raining here in Newman since December 2016. Then after Vegas, we went straight to my relative in San Diego and stayed for a night.  We got to see my Nana and Tita back from the Philippines and also went shopping at the US-Mex Border Outlet.  I'll post pictures soon. (see, im still lazy hahaha!! but those are already posted on my FB account though)

After the Vegas trip, here comes our Monterey Bay Aquarium Tour (Mar. 14-15, 2017) in celebration of my Hubby's Birthday.  Our little Diva had fun of course especially when we took her at the beach for the first time then hung out at the Lodge's Pool. Then got back the next day after lunch because no one is watching after our dog so we really have to be back asap to feed her.

Few minutes after resting from our trip, my Hubby emailed me another reservation.  And now its for a hotel in LA because we are planning to go to Disneyland with my Sister-in-law's family on their kid's Spring Break.. And im like waaaah!! trip again!.. We never really went on vacation lastyear since we spent time and money lol! on getting a house so we are making up for those times that we aren't in a vacation but its all worth it.  Me and my husband are always on the go and we love long walks and long drive.  Sometimes I forget that I am pregnant hahaha!!.. Btw here's a video from our Monterey Bay Aquarium Trip.  Sorry im not good with video editing :(

Monterey Bay Aquarium Tour

But this time, I can say that I am back on track since I got a contract renewed from that previous client so I will be busy and facing my laptop most of the time and my 2nd trimester is not so heavy anymore. I can feel a lot of positive vibes and energy this time :).. Im just grateful and thankful to God that all of my prenatal checkups are ok and all prenatal tests and screenings are all good. I just hope and pray to God to have a healthy pregnancy and baby and also to stay in shape all through the days of our lives :).. 

Ok I guess this is all for now.  I'll see you guys on my next post.

Much Love,
Anne
