Varekai Day

So after a number of times of talking about it and weighing if we really want to see the show or not... Arvic and I decided last minute (like just the week before the show started) to buy tickets.


Then we started counting the days... we were that excited. And then our Varekai day came...

It was rainy that day. We took pics as we approached the big tent.


Of course we wanted proof that we were there... so here's our pics with the tent. Haha!


There were several booths just as you get in the front area of the tent. They were selling popcorn, softdrinks and hotdogs. Made us feel we were really at a circus. Kulang na lang cotton candy!

Here's a very happy boy with his popcorn and drink. Super excited sya!


Here's the inside of the tent... well more of another reception area in one of the "wing" of the tent.


There was a photobooth as well set-up by Sunlife (one of the sponsors), all you have to do is "like" their FB page then your photo is free. Here's ours:


We were told that we can go inside the big tent already.. so this is the only shot I got from the inside before they announced that all phones and cameras should be turned off and kept.


The show was ama----zing. I loved it!!! Most of the stunts were unbelievable and the costumes were really a feast for the eyes. Well worth the ticket. The venue was really intimate for a 'circus' event. I bet you'll enjoy the show even if you get the cheapest tickets. ;) Go go go!


You can inquire and get tickets HERE. Tip: Tickets are cheaper during weekdays ;D

CARPE DIEM!

Ba-Bye Ate

Today was quite a sad day for our family. For a very close-knit family, goodbyes are really extra difficult to say . Especially if the one leaving will be miles and seas away. My Ate (with her husband) left this morning for the US. They'll be starting their new life there. She already has work so I don't need to worry about that anyway, and I'm sure that she'll definitely do well. My parents were really sad... maybe it's the thought of being "away" from her. Tipong you have to hop on a plane pa just to be able to get to her. The whole family has US visa naman , we can go there anytime (as long as we have the money I guess :p) Yes, I cried a lot as well... and I guess it's because of all the bilins I got from her. The one that stuck the most " Ikaw na bahala dito ha.. Alagaan mo sila Mama and Papa. Si Ivan ha... Wag mo silang pabayaan. " My nephew on the other hand was a different story... he was eager to go home already when we got to NAIA. ...

Commitmentphobe No More

Look... check out who finally commits. :) I've read about this in my friend's blog sometime last week. (Hi Carla ! Thanks for sharing). My initial reaction... "WHY VERONICA?!?" I was such a Betty fan. Oh well... So I've read more about the article just this morning and here's part of it.. “People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist. Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.” The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sign she'd make a submissive...

Suuuuuungka!

Who knows how to play Sungka? What's Sungka you may be thinking? Well, let's allow good old Wiki to define it for us... Congkak (pronounced [tʃoŋkaʔ] ) is a mancala game played in the island of Borneo , Singapore , and Peninsular Malaysia . Minor variants are known as Tchonka, Naranj, Dakon or Sungka and are played in Indonesia (mostly Java ), Sri Lanka , the Maldives , southern Thailand , the Philippines and the Marianas . In Indonesia, it is called "Congklak" meaning cowrie shells, which are often used as pieces. On the island of Java, it is called "Dakon" and little red seeds are used as pieces. In the Philippines it is called "Sungka" and shells are used as pieces. Congkak is believed to originate from the word ‘congak’ which in old Malay Language means count. When we were in Boracay last April, this game was played during our free time. I love playing it! Especially if my opponent's Arvic because I pretty much win all the time. Haha...
