It was almost impossible to go there with the weather – It was raining almost everyday that time. The location was also a bit far from my sister and bro-in-law’s place and they work night shifts. But thank God for the opportunity of a better day to visit the Zoo.

Seafood Cioppino at Italiannis (I just love seafoods!)

Before we went there, I had to go meet someone at Glorietta Mall. My online Boss, Ron, purchased a camera online thru eBay and he asked me to meet with the seller. So I did. We then tried Italianni’s – which they say had good food, and we enjoyed it there, was a bit painful in the wallet though. hehe.

Zaza and his yellow chick.

So then, after our meal we went straight to the Zoo. At the entrance, Zaza was so desperate to have those painted chicks, so Ae got him one. The chick became a distraction the whole Zoo journey cause Zaza would worry about where the chick was and check on it once awhile.

Our pic near the very old Elephant.

Hippopotamus that won’t show him/herself

Turtle posing for the camera

With the Philippine Deers

As far as I could remember we got to see a very old elephant, sadly no giraffe, lotsa monkeys – about a whole block of ‘em, tigers, a hippo, birds, horses, carabaos, alligators, deers, hamsters, rabbits, huge fishes, iguanas, some snakes, and some other animals which names I do not know.

You might ask why, but sadly, not all the cages there had name/labels as to what the creature was. So I only got to identify and point to Zaza those that I know of. There was even a time when we were at the hippo pond getting some shade and there were maybe around 7 people that came to look too with their kids and they called it a rhino. I had to say it aloud “Za, that is a hippopotamus or a hippo” then those who heard would walk away. LOL. Atleast they’d know what was it, indirectly. haha.

So anyway, aside from that cage labels – the smell inside was really terrible only got better when we were around the horses as the animals were a bit far from where the people should be standing.

I also got the chance to hold a small python. It scared the life out of me, I could feel every inch of its body moving around me. LOL.

To sum everything up, we enjoyed the zoo. I didn’t enjoy my sinus attack after though. But it was worth it. We didn’t have some of the animals back here in Cagayan de Oro – so it was all good.

ABS-CBN grounds was the venue of the event. It was supposedly a whole day event but not all was able to make it early cause of work and not all stayed till the Sadsad parteh cause they had work the next day. I was one of the late comers of this event cause I was printing out some letters for local media and companies the day before this till dawn of this day for CDOBloggers’ upcoming event the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 (MBS3) which will be held here in CDO.

After the event, we had a quick photoshoot outside ABS-CBN with the tank parked outside. We also ate dinner at Butcher’s Best BBQ and then we parted ways.

So again, I’m calling out all the youth and those who still wants to be called youth, let us all make a difference, we should make a way for our future, let’s all stand up and say AKO ANG SIMULA!

More photos of the event here.

The event was at SM Mega Mall Megatrade Hall 2-3, we came early but the line was already very long, good thing Eric saw one of his friends and we, as if, went together. lol. The ticket was 100/head and Zaza was free.

The very long line – start of the line is at the other side.

As soon as we got in, we passed thru the booth where they gave away stickers and posters for free and we started to go around and check the toys. I specifically looked for the Tractor and Frank of the Cars movie and they didn’t have any. Eric got Zaza a mini Wall-E that didn’t last long cause Zaza thought its body parts were working so he moved it, mini Wall-E’s head only lasted about 15minutes. A few minutes after the incident we passed by a stall that had a bigger Wall-E and was talking and moving. Back here in Cagayan de Oro that toy costed around almost 4,000 pesos and there it costed 1,000 pesos so I had to buy it for him, with my last money, cause I don’t know when our next visit to Manila will be or if we’ll ever experience another ToyCon again. He loved it, said thank you to me a couple of times and kept pushing the button to make wall-e talk and walk.

Eric also bought him a big Bumblebee at the Transformers section of Toy Kingdom. As we walked around, we passed by the Star Wars section and there were clone troopers there. Zaza didn’t know what they were, he was afraid at first but when one of the troopers asked for a high five from Zaza he wasn’t scared then. Zaza had a picture with Atiu Eric and I asked for a pic with them too. We also took photos with the other characters from all different shows that’s on display there.

Zaza sharing high five with clone trooper.My pic with the clone trooper.

Zaza said: “hala si, si, uhm..” then I said: “si stitch baby” then he just stared at it.

Supersized Ronald.

After a very long walk and tour around the ToyCon we went out and ate for the first time at Sbarro. I heard they have very good food, but I had a headache then and I didn’t like what I ordered from there, maybe I’ll give them another chance and ask them next time what they’d recommend so I can say too that I love their food.

Our orders at Sbarro.

After eating, we went to Toy Kingdom and looked for a basketball ball cause Eric promised Zaza a new ball cause there was one time Zaza said, all his balls were back at home and he wanted to play with a ball. Eric bought him a spalding ball, and at the section he even showed his moves to us.

Our pic outside Toy KingdomStuffed tigers we saw when we came in. (L-R: Susan Lim, Pilar Garcia, Eric Garcia, & Zaza)

We also walked around Toy Kingdom and took pictures with some characters from movies that are stuffed, like a huge Dory and Nemo also with their huge stuffed animals, some Zaza was afraid of, some he was amazed of. But there was this one stuffed tiger that he really wanted – we captured the moment he hugged it and said goodbye cause he knew I didn’t have the money to buy it. It was crazy expensive, around 2000 pesos for the baby tiger??

After a long day of walk around the mall, we passed by Thumbs Up and had Zaza try it, he totally loved them, then we headed home. Bathed Zaza when we arrived cause he was all over the animals, toys, and everywhere and I felt like he has all the germs in the world. He then asked for his toys and played with them. I also took a photo of what he got that day.

It was a nice experience, something that doesn’t happen here in Cagayan de Oro. Maybe they should do it next time.

Whining about the pains of having a beautiful girlfriend. lol

After the bank transactions, we had lunch at Inasal Express just across the bank. I took a photo of him while he was whining about his artistahin girlfriend that he would get stressed everytime they’re together cause alot of people would be looking at her. LOL. I had to say I should meet his girlfriend and he said we will. While waiting for our orders, he took a photo of us for remembrance after almost a decade of not seeing each other. He also told me about his fascination with fishes and animals and how he managed to fit in 5 aquariums to his small room.

Our pic while waiting for our orders.

Since we were talking about animals, I asked how much a small turtle costed there and he said about 120-200 pesos depending on the breed. So I was shocked cause here in Cagayan de Oro, turtles costed about 350-450 and that’s about 1.5-2.5inches in size and was never on stock! haha. I had to say he had to bring me to where he buys his pets.

Cartimar was where he buys them. It’s a very big place full of petshops. We rode a jeep, then a bus, we walked going there so I had to make sure he was near or I would get lost, cause I didn’t know where we were. We got to buy Zaza a green turtle for 150 pesos. Then as we were about to head home, the heavy winds and rains poured, instead of meeting his girlfriend back in Makati, he had her girlfriend go to Cartimar. I met her there and she was really pretty – artistahin nga and Chat was right almost every guys head turns when she’s around. lol. As the rain stopped, they accompanied me home and said our goodbyes and thanked them for the day.

June 6, 2009 – My sister’s day off. We went malling at Glorietta again. We had our first Wendy’s experience this day too. I was with Zaza, Mom, and sister Pilar. Zaza also played at their interactive floor. We also went to the arcade and had Zaza play there. They had a small train there where a child could pretend they are the one driving. Zaza was so excited he had to ride them – we took a video of him. We then had to go to the restroom cause he pooped and had to be changed. Then rested and bought a huge bag of popcorn from Tater’s and we headed home.

Our orders at Wendy’s

June 7, 2009 – My sister Pilar and bro-in-law, Eric’s, day off. They decided to bring us to Greenhills. They bought Mom a new blouse from there, Zaza got a new outfit (pants and shirt) from them, my other sister Joy got a new outfit from them too. We got to see 4 celebrities there and we were so happy we did. We didn’t have much celebrities back here.

My/Our Seafood Platter at Tender Bob’s

Eric, then took us to their favorite place to eat – Tender Bob’s and their food was great! We had potato skin, chicken fingers for Zaza, Mom got a chowder something and Eric ordered seafood platter for me which I totally enjoyed, and Eric got himself a Baby Bac Ribs. We enjoyed dinner and headed home. As we were about to go to bed, Eric and Zaza were playing – he put Zaza inside a big pillow case with a very soft pillow and we would see how he would get out. Zaza at first was scared cause he didn’t know how to, but eventually he enjoyed it and wanted to be put in some more. lol.

June 9, 2009 – We woke up almost midnight cause we were hungry. Zaza also was looking for Ae so we decided to buy pizza while watching tv and waiting for Ae to arrive. Good thing about Manila is that they have 24hrs delivery service for alot of food chains, here in Cagayan de Oro the latest is 10pm and Yellow Cab is the only place that has 24hrs delivery. This day was our first ever Domino Pizza experience. We ordered a big pizza and they gave us a small pizza for free. Zaza enjoyed it while watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse, we also enjoyed it too. I loved the MeatZza better than the ExtravaganZZa, so did Zaza. After we ate, Zaza was now sleepy again he couldn’t wait for Ae any longer, so I put him to bed around 230am.

Since then, I started to wonder what the points at the side of the pack was for, then one time I bought this pack with a promo flyer on it, and said something about the items you get in exchange for the wrappers and they ship it to you for free! So then, I got so excited. The first item I got from them was just in time for my need – a diaper bag. Here’s a photo of it:

As far as I could remember, I think there were 2 colors for this bag – I got the blue one. The next 2 items I got from EQ were animal bags, I remember there were 4 of it then, but my wrappers’ points doesn’t sum up to get all of them. So I only chose 2.. here’s a photo of them:

Then came birthday promos which we didn’t join and waited for the other promos to arrive. Then July of 2007 they came up with the Bath Time Set there were 4 to choose from, we got the duck set. Here’s a photo of Zaza with his duck set:

Everytime Zaza would take a bath then, he would use this bath robe. Then on June 2008 they came up with the Baby’s Garden Set, I super love their ideas and they come just in time for the needs of Zaza, cause at this age, he loves being outside and exploring things that’s happening out there and this garden set helps him to explore things without being too much exposed to the sun. Here’s a photo of him using the garden set at the garage:

And the very latest he got are the Animal Friends’ Cow and Lion, we are still waiting for the Dog to arrive, we have just sent them the wrapper a few days ago. Here’s a photo of him with his first batch of Animal Friends:

These animals friends make their sounds when you press the EQ logo on their body. This promo is still up until July 31, 2009. So send them your wrappers now I just would like to thank you guys for coming up with these promos. We love your items, they are also durable. More power to your company and I hope you guys won’t stop your promos.

So again, for all the mommies out there who didn’t know about EQ having promos (actually freebies) every year to those loyal supporters – every pack of diaper has points and each item they give out free has an equivalent of a number of packs. It’s been 3 years now and I have received alot from EQ already by just saving their wrappers and sending it to them in time and in exchange for their items.

Mommy Thel, Zaza, and Ama – outside the very windy Ocean Park. I took the pic.

Zaza was amazed at the entrance alone. hehe

We were so amazed at the oceanarium experience. I was thinking how’d they put all those sea creatures inside?

Zaza starting the journey

The journey started at Agos(Flow) water cascading from an artificial waterfall that flows into 8 different water tanks displaying various flora and fauna. They created a model of the interconnectedness between land and sea. The rocky shoreline is showcased in a Touch Pool where one can physically encounter animals on display.

The artificial waterfall at Agos.

Zaza looking down at the Crocodiles at Agos.

I touched the Chocolate Chip Starfish at Agos.

After Agos, Bahura (Reef) was next. It is a series of 46 tanks that featured the very colorful Philippine underwater rainforest.

I was amazed by this Razor Fish. I thought they were just seaweeds floating.

First time we saw Seahorses – up close and personal. They swim so gracefully.

Cowfish – ain’t they cute?hehe

Looks like seaweeds? Guess again..

They are Garden Eels. Amazing isn’t it? First time i’ve seen this ever.
Photo taken inside the Bahura(Reef).

Zaza just kept saying WOW. But all throughout he kept asking for Mr. Ray (character in the movie Nemo) coz before we went in, we told him there was a ray there. Then we entered Laot(Fishing Ground) – four big distinct aquariums displayed an assortment of fish in all sizes and colors.

Rays at their very huuugggeeee tank.
Photo taken inside the Laot.

Buhay na Karagatan (Living Ocean) – We enjoyed a breathtaking 25-meter walk along an underwater tunnel and experienced how marine animals interact with each other in their natural habitat.

Ang Kalaliman(The Deep) came next. Ang Kalaliman’s deep sea resident is the barracuda – known for its toothy grin as the “Tiger of the Sea”. But we skipped this one. We weren’t too amazed by it. hehe. After the Deep was the Pagi (Ray) Overhang tank we walked beneath the magnificent creatures.

The Pagi Overhang Tank.

Last but not the least, the largest Shark (Pating) tank we’ve ever seen.

More pictures of the day here.

Zaza, Ama, Atiu Eric and Me – Ae Pilar taking the Pic

When we arrived there, we immediately rented Zaza a car good for a day – paid Php 180 for unlimited hours. We toured around the mall, stopped for some pictures, and rested and tried out Auntie Anne’s Soft Pretzels coz Eric said it was his favorite. Didn’t really like the plain pretzel, I loved the one with hotdog better, so did Zaza.

Zaza on his car at MOA – Php 180 for the whole day.

(Zaza was having a hard time making the peace sign, so we just did 3. lol)

And when we said to make the number 1 hand sign – he made this. lol

Our Auntie Anne’s Snack.

After Snack, Eric and Pilar decided to have us try IMAX - short for Image Maximum. It’s the first and only IMAX Theatre in the Philippines. The theatre features the largest movie screen in Asia and the first to offer the most advanced cinematic 3D in the world, known as the IMAX 3D. We watched The Night at the Museum 2 there.

Pose at Zaza’s latest movie’s poster.

Zaza making fun of me

After the movie we sat down for a while at the iMax Coca-Cola chill lounge while everyone else was taking a leak. We then claimed back our cameras from the baggage counter and took photos at the movie posters inside IMAX.

Zaza’s dinner.

Zaza was hungry after the movie so we bought him chicken for dinner at a chicken place at MOA which name I forgot. Bought him a toy so he’d eat as he was losing appetite. We then went home, played for awhile, and rested early cause the next day we needed to go to church for the thanksgiving celebration.

Zaza now giving me the feet.
(Lesson: What kids see, they follow. So be a good example. lol)

We enjoyed the day. Thanks Pilar and Eric for taking us out.

More pictures of the day here.

Zaza had fun driving. Too bad Ae Pilar had to go to work he wasn’t able to ride with her. But he rode with Ama and Atiu Eric and he loved Ama shouting everytime he made sudden turns or stopped the animal ride. lol.

After the animal rides, we went to the mini arcade to have him play there. He played at a small submarine driving a boat on screen, he also attempted to play at the Time Crisis – he wanted the gun shooting games so we played and he watched.

Zaza driving the mini submarine.

Zaza and Atiu on Time Crisis

After the arcade we passed by Toy Kingdom and bought him a new remote controlled car – its wheels light up and the front wheels rotates 360 degrees. It’s rechargeable and it really runs so fast. He loved it. It was his first toy from Manila. We then went home and rested. He kept playing with this car before bed.

Zaza practicing on Mom’s newly fixed bag (5/23/09)

May 25, 2009 – Was our flight schedule. We were going to Manila to bring the house help they needed and for vacation – our first ever vacation since Zaza was born, 3 years ago. We left the house at 3pm and we headed to the airport. My last trip was around 1997, I was in high school then and churchmates were with us – we just followed everyone around, so it really felt like my first time again. hehe.

Zaza and Stephanie at the taxi on our way to the airport.

It was Stephanie’s (the house help) and Zaza’s first time on the plane. Mom have been to alot of trips before so she knew what to do. We arrived at the airport around almost 4pm, our flight was around 5. We showed our eticket and converted it to real ones, we checked in our stuffs and waited in the pre-departure area. I must say taking off of shoes is a big hassle back there – everyone should wear slippers.

Mom working on our tickets.

We bought water and food for Zaza and everyone at the pre-departure area and waited for our plane. We also took some photos there. When PAL PR284 arrived we went and took quick pictures outside the plane for Zaza to remember and we boarded. The plane left at exactly 17:35 or 5:35pm.

Zaza and I fooling around at the pre-departure area – waiting for our plane.

Zaza, Mom, and Stephanie outside PR284

At the plane, Zaza and I took photos of us, him and mom and the view outside the plane. He didn’t sleep the whole trip, he was just so amazed of how we could fly on the plane and he kept saying wow while seeing the clouds, the big water and the wing of the plane.

Zaza and Ama on PAL PR284

Zaza and I fooling around.

Zaza eating graham crackers from the stewardess. Our tickets, supposedly, doesn’t include snakcs during the flight but the stewardess found Zaza too cute and friendly that she had to give him 4 graham cracker packs. He loved them, said thank you and winked at all those pretty stewardess. He only ate 1 pack and the rest he kept inside his bag.

We arrived at the Manila airport almost 7pm and Zaza had to say wow again coz there was so much planes around and the airport was bigger compared to where we left from. He played around while we were waiting for our baggages to come out from the carousels. Ae and Atiu were waiting for us outside and they were so excited.

Zaza with Renzo and Raffy. Tito Keno and Tita Mayette also waiting for their stuffs.

When we came out and saw my sister and bro-in-law, Zaza had to run so fast and hugged Atiu and Ae. We then went straight to the apartment to rest and settle down.

Zaza and Ae Pilar.

Here’s a video of Zaza, Ae and Atiu playing at the room right before bed time.

March of 2009, I don’t know what exact date, but I was browsing to Ms. Rowena Wendy Lei of http://animetric.blogspot.com and I saw her post about Nestlé Chuckie’s Freebie and I had to register to get the freebie cause Zaza loves Chuckie, and it’s for free! The freebie was only for the first 200 to register to their site and I really thank Ms. Rowena for sharing this cause I made it to the first 200. hehe.

May 14, 2009, I received an email that my Chuckie Burstastic package was on the way.

May 22, 2009 we received Zaza’s Nestlé Chuckie Gift Pack and we were so excited to open it. We were the first 200 to try their new flavors then. hehe. I personally loved the choco burst. Both Zaza and I didn’t like much the peanut nor the cookie flavor. Double choco was the best! Specially when it’s cold!

Here’s his free gift pack. Inside were the 3 new flavors and some flyers and promo items.

I suggest you visit Animetric’s blog for more promos and freebies. thanks again sis. The Chuckie new flavors are now out in the market at, here in Cagayan de Oro it’s around 17-21pesos each, depending on where you’ll buy it. You guys should try them out.

5/18/09 – Zaza woke up earlier than me so I didn’t get to see the action. Mom showed Zaza his surprise – the Lechon head – Joy (miyahmayah) then took pictures of him with it. Eversince Zaza was born, he never had a lechon bought for him, even during his birthday, nor did we serve on special family occassions. There was once at my older sister pilarmarielim’s wedding with ewicgarcia but the lechon came chopped already. So this is the closest moment he had with a dead/cooked pig. When I woke up about 2hrs after, he bragged about seeing it but now Ama (my mom) has already cooked it. He was so excited to show me the pictures on my cam that he had to get it and said I should turn it on. hehehe.

Zaza had to touch it, and looked confused. hehe

More photos here.

Lechon here in Cagayan de Oro costs about 2,000 – 3,000 pesos.. That could already feed about 150 guests During peak season like Christmas or Graduation it usually climbs up to 3,500 depending on the size.

This happened May 8, 2009. My personalized silver necklace orders arrived in CDO and Manila. Zaza was so excited, fresh from bath, to open the surprises for Mom and Joy that he didn’t wear anything while giving it to them.

Zaza giving Joy hug and kiss plus the gift,

Zaza giving Mom hug and kiss plus the gift.

For Achi, it was an advance birthday gift coz her birthday was on May 9th. It was also an advance Mother’s day gift for Mom for the 11th, and a belated gift for Joy or May 2nd.Zaza enjoyed giving away the gifts and he was so excited to see them wear it. He also gave them both hugs and kisses as soon as they received the box.

These necklaces are made to order. I made the design and had it made. I also accept orders for these. There are also bracelets and rings. You can view sample orders from others and you can also see their prices here: http://sanasanz.multiply.com/photos/album/398/Personalized_92.5_Silver_Jewelry

Wonderland is a place in Limketkai Mall that’s somekinda day care where kids are left to play while parents are malling or doing groceries.

Last 5/7/09 we brought Zaza to Wonderland cause it has been awhile since he played back there. I left Mom and Zaza there and I went out to buy myself my first ever branded shoes ever in my life – a Nike to be exact. I said to myself I’ll buy an expensive pair of shoes to motivate myself to go back to dance class and I am really trying my best to coz eversince my bestfriend annabellety left for Florida, I wasn’t able to go to the gym – she was my only company back then – so now I’ve gained too much weight but working hard to loose back again.

After I bought the shoes I went back to Wonderland, took pictures of Mom and Zaza playing and then played with him coz it was mom’s turn to go out and be somewhere else.

I wanted a chair with leather seat so it doesn’t absorb liquids like sweat causing chairs to smell and look dirty – and this one has it. I also was looking for a chair that was not all foam at the back, and this one had somekinda screen design on the back portion.. It also has a neck and arm support. I totally loved it. This was really for me cause it was the only stock left, had the specs of the chair that I wanted, and it was on sale! So I really thank God for giving me this chair.

As the salesman was done packing the box, we then looked around for a huge basin for Zaza – coz he loves the water, like me. His old basin was then too small for him and I thought our floor, where we would let Zaza bathe, isn’t kiddie pool friendly. We (Joy and I) found some basins and I got Zaza the largest – he was so happy when he saw it and he couldn’t wait to use it. I told him it was already late and was cold out, so I promised him to bathe on it the next day.

5/5/09 – This was Zaza’s moment. He was able to use his large basin/kiddie pool and he totally enjoyed it. His old one was still beside him – but now the toys are there. He enjoyed the water which has a bit higher level capacity compared to his old basin, he also enjoyed splashing water towards us.
