From Dawn Till Dusk

The Hubby saw Manila Ocean Park’s inauguration in the news the other day, so when I asked Friday night where we will make pasyal on weekend, he said suggested the marine-themed park.

The Pasyal Grinch Me
But even with the park’s inaugural in news reports, I doubted at first hand if the park is already open for public because for so many months, I have to believe that many expectators were kinda disappointed with the deferment of the park’s opening for so many times. As early as the first semester of 2007, it was said in the newspapers that the park will open December 2007. But then it was deferred. Another announcement came, which I learned through tarpaulins posted along Roxas Blvd. saying that the park will open February 2008. But same as the first announcement, it was deferred again. But Hubby was insistent that the theme park is already open, “Sige na, puntahan mo yung site nila so we’ll know the details”. So we surfed the park’s site, but unfortunately it was down. We googled it up and through Anton’s thread of comments in this post, we learned the opening was yesterday.

But still, I wasn’t that keen in going. I was kinda lazy to go out (umiral na naman ang katamaran, nyahaha) and so when the Hubby asked me early morning yesterday what our plans were for the day, I said we move our Ocean Park pasyal on a later date (come April or May perhaps) and instead, bum around the home and just go out to do our grocerying after Nico’s long-afternoon nap.

Raquel, the Germany-based clever housewife and homeworked Mom, and at the same time the editor of Pinoy Mom Network’s Home and Garden Section, was in town with her family for a short vacation. And being the blogging berk that she is, not to be missed in her itinerary are meetups with Blogger friends, including her Mommy blogger friends. And right timing because it so happened that the Eating Club is set to meet anytime February, so a dinner date was firmed up right away.

The fantastic dinner date happened 28 February. And in the companies of Raq, Dine, Noemi, Cookie, Wenchie, Rach, Lynn, Julie and moi, all you can hear at one cozy corner of Burgoo Podium were Mommies in squeals of laughter in between chitchatting and eating, with kids playfully having fun too on the side. It was almost (or past?) 9 o’clock when we wrapped up but it seemed the tick of the clock was just too fast, we hardly notice it. In short, bitin ang kwentuhan. Heehee.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure, there will be more meetups next time, and when that happens, I hope I can join again.

Here’s sharing random photos of that dinner date with PMN Mommies. Continue Reading »
