That's supposed to be Superman's "symbol" :p

Last November 15, fiance's birthday, I decided to give us both a treat of a lifetime. Luckily, CashCashPinoy just had a recent deal and I paid only P260 (instead of P400) per head for the Thrilling Superman Ride at Zoom Tree Top Adventure.

It was both our first time. And the place was new to us. But we got there just in time :) Arrived around 6:30. (By the way, Zoom's open 10 AM to 7PM daily). The place, Circulo Verde, is still under development but we didn't bother. We were excited! The crew was very accommodating and our "tour guides"-slash-assistants were obliging enough to take LOTS of pictures of us. (When I say LOTS, I really mean it!)

Here, one of our pictures before the ride:

Hehe, kami na excited :p The crisp air and Eastwood City lights below us made us even giddier. :)

The ride itself was unforgettable. For a moment, I was afraid that I might fall and didn't look down at first. I was holding fiance's hand VERY tightly and decided to take a peek down. It wasn't scary at all. The view was simply breathtaking! And guess what? I. CAN. FLY!! :D

So how did Birthday Boy like his birthday treat? He gives the ride a two-thumbs up!

Thanks so much Zoom Tree Top Adventure and CashCashPinoy! 'Til we meet again! (I just have the feeling that's it's gonna be SOON!)

Recent winnings

Here are some of the things that I have recently won from contests:

Jellybean shoes (bought using GC from Sir Jayson and Belle de Jour 2010 coupon)

and

Havaianas bag, notebook and playing cards, thanks to Trinoma!

Thank you for the sponsors and hoping to join more contests with you! For the meantime, pardon the lack of entries. Been kinda busy lately. Will update soon! :*

My first blog event

Currently waiting for the Pacquiao-Margarito match courtesy of PLDT WatchPad. (Well, aren't we all are?) Anyway, to pass by time and since I'm delayed with my blog posts, let me share my experience of my very first blog event.

It was made possible by Sir Jayson of Winner's Place, Wendy's and all other sponsors.

Charles and I arrived kinda early for the event and at that point, I wasn't sure what a blogger's event really was. First of all, I do not consider myself as a fulltime blogger. I mean, I blog for the sake of 1) releasing stress (Livejournal's purpose) and 2) to win contests (Blogspot's purpose). Attending events is kinda new to me. I only attend events if the event is part of my winning like in ETC's Project Runway 2. So since Sir Jayson told me that I won in his contest, I decided to go, of course, dragging Charles along.

Event was held at Wendy's Boni and I couldn't be thankful enough for good (and free!) food:

Kulang pa fries yan :p

Since I won in Sir Jayson's contest, I am just happy that I got a gift cert from Jellybean. :)

And of course, the best part is meeting new people who offered valuable tips, tricks of the trade, laughter and smiles. I certainly learned a lot from this experience and I'm happy that I decided to go. Looking forward to more events, contests and winnings in the future!

Micah's Gymboree Experience

Waaaay back in April, Tatak Digitista had a contest in cooperation with Pampers. Thanks to them, I won these:

I also had a picture of the actual prize but I'm too lazy to browse at my previous entries, please bear with me :p All the items were immediately used but I stalled using the free Gymboree class they were offering. I was waiting for the perfect time - weekend off so Charles and I could both go see our daughter on her "first day" of class. Last Sunday, was the day so off we went to Trinoma despite the impending rain. Arrived there exactly on time and chose the ongoing class (just started 3 minutes). From there, learned 2 lessons right away:

1. Allocate at least 5 minutes before the start of the class. There's registration, removing of shoes, the works before entering and it could take time.

2. For parents, be sure you're wearing socks. They require adults to wear socks once inside the room. Or you could buy from them for P40 a pair. Hehe, sayang din yun. Pang twister fries din yun :p

Anyhow, we went inside the Music Room which more or less looks like this:

Grabbed from http://www.gymboree-ph.com/trinoma.html.

I wasn't sure if cameras were allowed so I wasn't able to bring out the cam. Kakahiya rin. We were late, remember? :) So since it was a Music class, there were lots of singing, games, playing of instruments, listening to music inside. There were two teachers who were both equally good. They also had personalized teaching and they encouraged kids to participate without being to pushy. (And that skill, I have yet to learn.). It was a good 1-hour class though Micah wasn't really participating that much. Sayang but still, it was a good first time. :) Besides, it was just for free. Next time, we'd like to try more classes and let Micah play in their visually appealing play area. Yeah, next time, next time. (When I win the 6-55 grand lotto jackpot!)

Thanks Tatak Digistista, Gymboree and Pampers!
