On our 7th year, Day 2

Why was it so hard to wake up in the morning when you have to? And why do we wake up so early when we can stay on bed longer?

It's breakfast time at Circles.

Then, as promised, I took the kids swimming. It was windy and it was cold so we have to look for the sun for some heat =).
Then, Summer gave us an envelope, which she managed to sneak in into our luggage, for a gift.
Then, sadly it was time to go home. We were asked if we enjoyed the red wine, since I inquired if they give something in celebration of our anniversary, just to surprise my husband. We did not receive from our room so they asked us to wait and gave it to us instead for us to bring home.
Thank you for 7 wonderful years and looking for more better years with you and the kids.

On our 7th year, Day 1

As we are reaching our 7th year on Monday, we checked-in at Makati Shangri-la.

The kids had fun running around inside the room and at the lobby too with the giant rabbit flower arrangement for the coming Chinese new year.
We had lunch at Dusit Thani at Glorietta since I've been craving for Thai food for the longest time already and Omar loved the Tom Yum soup. Summer did not want to eat their and wanted to have Jollibee. She learned to love chicken pandan so we brought her to Jollibee after for french fries.
We attended the anticipated mass at Glorietta and brought the kids at Time Zone. Oh it was like heaven for them.
We then met Mama and Papa at Yakimix for dinner.
Just like last year, Summer get to sleep on her own bed by herself. She's a big girl na talaga.
I love it!

Our 6th year.

I like waking up in a hotel room. It just feels so grand!

We had breakfast at the hotel with the kids still in their PJs. My favorite was the frozen yogurt mashed on cold stone with mangoes and walnuts, yum yum!

As promised, we took the kids for a swim. Omar backed out at the last minute.

After swimming, Summer and Winter spent the afternoon at the children's lounge - provided free for hotel guests and diners.

Upon checking out, Summer asked why we have to stay for just one night. Ako din nabitin hehe. Sarap magbuhay mayaman kahit sa isang gabi lang.

We passed by Greenbelt to see the giant Swatch of Cory and Ninoy edition - the watch Omar painted at his shop.

Before going home, we claimed our anniversary gift from Mandarin Oriental they forgot to give us last night.

Happy Anniversary! I'm excited for more anniversary celebrations! This is the happiest ever and I hope it's the start of our annual celebration. Thank you!

Eve of our 6th

It's our first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We would eat out and that's it.

On our 6th year, we checked-in at Manila Peninsula. We got great room rate from M. After a relaxing afternoon, we went to Glorietta to hear the Sunday mass.

We had dinner at Paseo Uno at Mandarin where Chef Orland is a sous chef. Aside from getting discounted rate, we feasted on foie gras and seafoods - all served on our tables by no other than but the chef himself.

We were so full we weren't able to finish our rib-eye steak. The receptionist of the hotel were so fond of Winter.

Back at the hotel, Summer and Winter got a quick dip at the bath tub since I did not let them swim at the pool for we checked-in late already.

Tomorrow is a big day!

5th year
