Vacation after Vacation…

Jody — Mon, 07 May 2012 02:02:46 +0000

Just came in from a vacation but boy, the saying goes that you need a vacation from another vacation holds true for me now. It is so hard to get back to the groove after a relaxing trip. In fact, I find myself checking online some next possible getaways including cruises, out of the country trips or even just renting one of those Kissimmee Vacation Homes. But with my current condition of being pregnant, we have to shelf first those trips under our bucket list. The husband promised we will tick off more places in the coming years. I look forward to that, much more to the idea of bringing the kids. Traveling just really gives me a sense of high. It makes me regain focus to life and strive more to achieve our goals to conquer more places. Oh how I just love to travel, travel the world perhaps! Excuse my day dreaming mode!

Now, I need to get back to reality…snap, snap, snap…back to work!

Missing this…

house where we stayed for 3 days in Lake Arrowhead, California. It’s such a nice house with 3 bedrooms. 3 toilet and bath, and even a little spa room with spacoverdirect spa covers. Amazing! I can live in such a cottage house. It’s very homey. And with the weather, it’s a lovely place to stay. When I went out the front door, I saw these…

And then we went to the Big Bear Mountain to enjoy mountain sledding…

And we just lounged around the park after…

And notice the icy lake…

The birds were walking on the lake! Oh, I miss this place. I wish to go back!

What’s up with the weather?

Uh-oh! What’s up with the weather lately? It’s been very hot the past few days and feels like summer already and now, it’s been raining like there is a storm. Time to dose up the kids with Vitamin C to boost their immunity. I hope we won’t get sick with this weather. It was so cold last night. I remember how cold it was when we were Reno last December. Our thermals cannot take it with negative 8 degrees in Celsius (-8) to negative 12 (-12) on some nights. My SIL had to lend me her mountainhardwear to cover up. We have to layer with multiple jackets as well. But nevertheless, we enjoyed so much our stay there. We had so much fun in the Ski Resort. We went to Squaw Valley Ski Resort. Below are some of our pictures. We look forward to go back there again!

What’s up Yo!

Hectic schedule has taken its toll on me for the past few weeks so that explains why I do not have any postings just yet. Sorry about that. Life is pretty busy but still amazing! Currently on vacation here in California and we are just having so much fun! It’s great to be reunited with families! My kids are enjoying their stay and even saying that they don’t want to go back to the Philippines! Oh, but we just can’t! It will be the last 10 days of our vacation and we look forward to making the most of it. For the meantime, let me share few pictures from our wonderful time here…

Hope everyone is having great holidays as well! From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

So it’s now December…

Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost a month since my last post. Work has been tremendous recently and I cannot even think how to squeeze everything and try to finish all my pending tasks before we go for a major vacation before the year ends.

November got pretty busy since we had a couple of events. Most of it as well came in last minute. Not that I am complaining. I am actually grateful for the blessings from the One up above.

December will completely be the busiest month with me finishing 4 events before we leave and try to complete all turn over for all the events I will be leaving to my team while I’m away. I am now even thinking if I need to even lend my desktops to my staff as most of my files are there. There are tons of documents to even turn over to them.

Now, I am getting anxious for things to be done soon so I can look forward for the grand vacation with my family.

Summer on August

Before I read about the disability insurance which my aunt is asking me to review for her claim with Social Security System, let me share first the good news that the husband finally agreed to come and join for a quick getaway next week. Our family will be going to Cebu together with 4 other friends and their families. We are excited as it is our first out-of-town trip together. We will be staying in Shangri-la Mactan. I am sure the kids will have a blast. So we are all praying for a summer weather in the middle of the month of August.

Hello August!

Hoping August is a better month! Count down already for the December vacation! We are all excited!

Family Bonding in Singapore…

Jody — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 10:14:51 +0000

From our recent vacation in Singapore, it was a total family bonding. I love vacations like those when it is not hurried and we just enjoy the company of one another. It was my birthday gift for my husband and he totally loved it. We stayed in Festive Hotel inside Resorts World. It was a walking distance to the Universal Studios. The kids of course love USS. We stayed the whole day inside the park from opening till closing. Great that the Festive Hotel is nearby so it wasn’t hard to retire that night. We also enjoyed swimming on the hotel’s pool. A day after, we moved to Marina Bay Sands. I have been planning to really stay on this hotel because I want to experience swimming on its SkyPark. It’s a beautiful place. Though there were really a lot of people, it was still a great place to stay in Singapore. My kids were beaming with excitement when they saw the infinity pool.

Indeed, it was one great vacation. We are thankful for all the blessings from the One above. We are grateful that our family can do vacations such as this.

Vacationing in Singapore…

Jody — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 07:09:37 +0000

It was a good decision to have a quick get-away with the whole family as an advance birthday celebration of my husband. The trip is actually my birthday gift for him. I booked the flights and the hotels without him knowing at first. He was all happy with the turn-out and we are currently enjoying everything about this vacation. I made the right choices on our hotel accommodation. Will post about it further next time. But for the meantime, I would like to share that I love the fire pit available on top of the hotel we are staying. It totally adds ambiance to the outdoor sky park. More about that hotel on my future posts

Just my iPad…

Thanks to data backup software which i got, I have secured all my files and even my photos from my macbook. Now, will just be bringing my iPad for the trip to Bangkok. Will be loading the pictures from the trip through my iPad. Such a reliable gadget to store all the memories. Since I just got the iPad about a couple of months back, I do not have intention of getting yet the new iPad2. I would rather wait for the next generation perhaps. For the meantime, I am very happy with my iPad.
