Oakwood Halloween Party

Alyannah and I signed up for the Halloween party and Trick or Treat at the pool deck of Oakwood. This was her costume...

Meet Cinderella!
a

Can't wait to go trick or treating!

One last check at the lootbags and decor before we go down to the 4th floor!

Aly and the rest of the Vampires team (l-r) Nisa, Zaim and Federico.

I'm excited for trick or treat, mommy!

Here are some of the homes that we went to...
a

Team Vampires.
The last stop was at our apartment. After trick or treat, we went back to the 4th floor for party games and snacks.

Look at what I got, mommy!
Pawis na si Cinderella pero happy with her lootbags.
a
a
Happy little critters.
a
a
Tired and thirsty little critters. Hehe!
a
a
The kids (and parents!) snacked on sandwiches, hotdogs, mini pizzas and fish fingers while waiting for the other teams to arrive. Once all the teams have settled in, they played one game.
a
a
The game: mummy wrap race...
a
a
...which Aly enjoyed very much.
a
a
The mummy wrap race was a fun game, but when you put a hundred kids in a room full of tissue paper, this is what happens...
a
a
Para syang dinaanan ng bagyo.
a
a
They capped the party off with a movie -- Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein, but the kids lost interest barely halfway through the movie.
a
a
That was the first time I ever attended a party here in Oakwood. It was chaotic, but it was also fun. Aly enjoyed it and she was happy with all the goodies that she got (though I doubt if she will eat all those candies) and that's all that matters.

Daddy's Birthday

Yesterday, 20 May, was daddy's birthday and he celebrated it Bangkok style. Well, I don't really know how they celebrate birthdays here in BKK but what did I mean when I said Bangkok style? It's a whole day of shopping ofcourse with a nice dinner and ice cream cake!

After breakfast, dad and mom went to the gym for a little exercise, while Yan and I waited at the playground. Dad always starts his day with a morning jog and before he came here, he was worried that he won't be getting any exercise for two weeks so he was happy to know that we have a gym at the fourth floor. I wasn't able to take their photo in the gym so I took their photo by the pool instead.





When we got back to our apartment, Yan surprised her lolo with a birthday gift!





It's a new cap!



After lunch, we headed to MBK for pasalubong shopping. Dad bought himself a new pair of Rayban shades at 30%, and mom got Emporio Armani shades at 50% off! They also bought shirts for my brothers (they liked the vintage shirts that I bought for them during my last trip so they asked mom and dad to buy them more). My sister Angel's one and only bilin was a psp so we also looked around for the best deal that we can get. Most of the stalls in MBK will give the same price for most of the items there (shirts, bags, belts, watches, psp, etc.) so you really need to haggle. Buti na lang expert dad ko tumawad. Not only did we get big discounts but we also got lots of freebies! Galing talaga ni dad! Hehe!



We went back to the apartment for dinner. We had Mom's super yummy adobo, and ice cream cake for dessert.



Yan, lolo Bernie and lola Aple are wearing matching Lacoste shirts.



Happy birthday, dad! We love you!

Swimming at the Oakwood Pool

Learning from Sunday's experience (allergic talaga ako sa maraming tao!), we decided to just stay at home at least until after Songkran to avoid big crowds.

We're really starting to feel the Bangkok summer heat so Yan and Richard headed to the swimming pool to cool off.

Ready to hit the pool!
Look at Yan! She can swim on her own!
Racing with daddy.
Yan's the winner! (syempre, nagpatalo si daddy)
That was fun, dad!

Day One in Bangkok

We're here!

After a three hour flight, we've finally landed in Bangkok. It was hard to leave Manila but seeing the excitement in Alyannah's face kept me going. This is my first flight with her and I know that we will be having a lot of new adventures together (more about that in the future posts).

For now, Alyannah will give you a tour of what we'll be calling home in the next 2-3 years.
This is my room!


I will be sleeping on this bed while my best friend Becky the Bear will share the other one with Angel Bear.


I can't wait to use my bathtub!

This is mom and dad's room.


Mom and Dad's shower.


Mom, can I use your bathtub too?


Our kitchen and laundry area. I hope mom knows how to operate this machine!




Becky said she likes the dining area. I like it too, Becky!




I like it here, Dad!

The Valdezes in Bangkok.


Now that you've seen our place, I hope that you will book a flight to Bangkok ASAP. We really miss everyone back home and we can't wait to have visitors!


For the meantime, keep on coming back to this blog for more updates on our new life in Thailand.
