💖👸💖

👫👭👭

Spending time with family is what almost all mothers do. Actually, it’s Mother’s Day everyday to all moms, mamas, and Nanays. It really takes a lot of patience, sacrifice, and selfless love to become a mother! So, to all moms especially to my Mama Merlyn, Nanay Estrella, and sister Christine and mom sisters-in-laws.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Eating out with family on especial occasions is always a best quick option to celebrate. This time of the month, our daughter celebrates her birthday. So, without a doubt, we go out and eat. Choosing which one to go to is mom's job to do usually. I spotted this Parola restaurant by the sea on one of our morning walks in Roro Port, Cordova. Since this is not very far from our home, we opt to go to this dining place and celebrates birthday with our first born. The restaurant has a stunning sea view around the area with enough parking space. The food is great and yummy, of course, Asian cuisine. Seafoods and Barbeques in "Bilao or in Parola set" are in the menu with variety of drinks like coffee and iced tea pitcher with lemon or cucumber. While waiting for our orders, roaming around with my hubby and our celebrant daughter with her boyfriend fills the afternoon into more memorable moments. Of course, this is another wonderful dining and family celebration to keep. 💕

A LITTLE TEA
Gaisano GrandMall
Ground Floor, Basak Lapu-Lapu City Cebu
Mall Business Hours: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm

As we all know that weather for Christmas is somehow like rainy or cloudy to tropical countries like in the Philippines. So, staycation to nearby hotel beach resort is a good one than to cross another island. This year, the time chosen us to stay at Tambuli Seaside Resort and Spa on the eleventh hour we booked the available accommodations at Tower C. We booked two condo units, one for my family and the other one for my brother-in-law's family. Since it's a peak season for vacation, accommodation rates usually cost times two of the regular rates, but we got best deals for ours almost the same with the regular rates.

Yes, it's Fiesta at Lapu-Lapu City in honor of Birhen sa Regla. Happy Fiesta to all Oponganons!

This time, we're having dinner at Opon Republik restaurant. We found it less crowded compared to our last visit maybe because of the fiesta celebration. We ordered our favorite meal main course, Crispy Pata and Pochero. One order of each is good enough for us six persons though the staff mentioned it's good for 2-3 persons. Two platters of rice and chicken carbonara populated our table. The mango smoothies for our favorite 4, strawberry smoothie for my hubby, and matcha smoothie for me of course.
