Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Tour

2009, when she first came to the country for her concert in Araneta Coliseum, I promised myself (while listening to her songs as I pass by the area) that when she comes back, I'll watch her concert for sure.

2012, when I found out that she'll be coming back to Manila for another concert, The Born This Way Ball, thanks to my good friend Vj Mori for purchasing the tickets, I was able to finally watch my favorite singer perform live, first time in SM MOA Arena.

History in the making, I'm one of the first audiences to use this arena for their first ever concert!

Despite of the protests and rallies, the 2 day concert pushed through. Really you don't need to take the lyrics of the song literally coz Lady Gaga has her own interpretation.

Oh Hello There Mother Monster! Paws Up!

With a Lady Gaga wannabe :)

She really is a great performer! No boring moments... Everyone was partying and she rocked the place down. Ticket price is so worth it!

This is really a dream come true for me, I hope she comes back in the country! I'll definitely watch again for sure, maybe this time with Anjela. It'll be fun fun fun! :)

Cristina Villas Resort - Marcelo Family Outing

Finally our long overdue family outing pushed through. We wanted to go somewhere near, affordable (of  course) and fun for the kids. This is our second time to go to this newly renovated resort in Antipolo, Cristina Villas Resort.

Entrance for adults is P150, while children 4ft and below is at P100. The cottage that we took is just near the very long kiddie pool which costs P1000, if you want a cottage with a loft it'll cost P1500. There are also affordable cottages in the topmost part of the resort which ranges from P800 and up however  be careful because the road going to those cottages are pretty steep, though the pool that's near that area is the huge one (with the mermaid).

You can bring your own food inside the resort, however you cannot bring electric cookers or portable gas ranges. But they have grills that you can use to cook your food.

Here's our picture in the mermaid pool.

Tatay's Birthday Celebration

We rarely celebrate Tatay's birthday here at home so whenever he's here, we make sure that we prepare something for his special day, bongga or not, we obliged ourselves to celebrate his birthday.

Here I am after we prepared the tables.

Our Handa, Tita's home made soup, Baliwag Lechon Manok, Goldilock's Fresh Lumpia and Cake, there's also Pancit and Spaghetti from Crisgard Fast food.

The birthday cake.

Make a wish and blow the candles.

Happy 56th Birthday Tatay! xoxo
