The Burgery {The Bad Boys of Burger}

I've been craving for burgers this past few days so hubby and I decided to finally try The Burgery, located in BF Homes, for date night.

We were pleasantly surprised that their prices were really affordable and there were a lot of choices on their menu aside from burgers.

The inside is really small (seats for about 20 pax), but still comfortable. They also offer seating outside.

You can choose to upgrade your meal to include a drink plus fries or wedges.

After much deliberation, I got the Fat Tony...

1/3 lbs. 100% pure beef patty, onion relish, lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon
P145

while Hubby got the Machine Gun. It kinda looks the same, but if you look closely, this one has mushrooms in it.

The burgers were really good, fat and juicy! Craving definitely satisfied! We enjoyed every last bite and will definitely come back for more. :)

Fresh flowers

I usually say no when people ask me to take home flowers from table centerpieces after a party. I always felt like it will just wilt after a few days anyway so no use adding more garbage around the house.

But after attending a friend's wedding, I just couldn't resist taking home some of the flowers since they were just so beautiful. I wanted to get more but nakakahiya na (if only I had a plastic bag haha!) ;p

I don't know if you can tell, but the flowers were really big

gorgeous

I wish I could have brought home more of the roses...

And yes, they did wilt after a few days, but at least they added some life to our home even for just a little while. Now if I can only afford to have fresh flowers everyday...

Trick or Treat Neverland style

Well, another Halloween has come and gone and this year was even better than the last! I guess it's also because both kids are at that age where they are able to appreciate trick or treating and all that candy already. Of course, what made it extra fun was the fact that me and hubby also dressed up too so we can match the kids! I'm sure you can already guess who we are ;p

Like I said in my previous post, I usually just think of my kids costumes and make sure they coordinate. This year, they came as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.

But then, hubby and I thought wouldn't it be fun to dress up as a family? So hubby became Captain Hook...

And I became Mr. Smee! Which is perfect since I'm preggy and Mr. Smee has a big tummy too haha :)

If you can't tell, we had a blast doing all the silly poses! ;p

Oh, and my sister joined in the fun at the last minute! She decided to wear Miley's dragon costume on her head so she could become the Crocodile that ate Captain Hook's hand. Perfect! ;p

Putting together the costumes was so fun, especially the one for Captain Hook! If you're wondering, hubby's shirt was made from 2 ladies tops that I got for P100 each at the export overruns stall from the Noel Bazaar. When I saw that ruffled white shirt, I knew I hit the jackpot. At least I can still use the tops after Halloween haha!

Here's the whole gang ready to go trick or treating!

And yes, hubby went around the whole time in full costume (while I was in the car following them). Career na career! A lot of people actually took pictures of him and the kids since they looked so cute haha!

gotcha Peter Pan!

We had sooooo much fun and the kids got a lot of candy which they're still eating up to now!

Miley's favorite from all the goodies - PEANUTS!

dividing their candy the next day

Now I'm so excited to think about what we'll go as next year! Any suggestions? ;p

I've been keeping a BIG secret...

How time flies! It's now November and before we know it, it's already Christmas and then the start of another new year.

And since everything's been moving so fast, I finally feel that it's time I shared with you something I've been keeping under the radar for many months now...

SURPRISE! We are expecting baby no. 3!!!

I'm now in my last trimester and we couldn't feel more excited and blessed about this new addition to our family. :)

Whereas we were more open during our first 2 pregnancies, this time hubby and I just wanted to keep the news to ourselves for a while. In fact, we only told immediate family at first and then other family members and just a few close friends after the 1st trimester. Even up to now, some of our friends still don't know we're expecting since my baby bump isn't that obvious from most of the pictures I post on Facebook or Instagram hehe. Although some very sharp-eyed people have noticed it and have messaged me privately asking if I was pregnant. ;p

It's not that we're hiding the news or anything, it's just that our views have slightly changed over the past years. Of course if it's your first pregnancy, wanting to share the news to everyone, on every social media platform is understandable (as well as sharing ultrasound photos, doctor updates, etc.).

This being our 3rd baby does not lessen the excitement factor one bit, it's just that we didn't feel the need to announce the information publicly (hindi naman tayo artista na kailangan may press release pa diba? haha!). We wanted to share the news with family and friends personally. And I've noticed that more and more of my friends have been doing the same, whether it's their first pregnancy or not. Someone I know just posted a picture of her 2nd baby after she gave birth, without most people knowing she was even pregnant.

And of course, there's always that anxiety factor. Of wanting to be sure everything is normal and the baby is healthy before coming out in the open. You don't want to jinx anything too right? ;p

So there, I hope you understand why I've just shared this news only now. After this, I can already post my pictures with my huge tummy haha! And finally, I hope you'll keep me in your prayers in this last stretch... I have to admit I'm getting nervous but of course still super excited for another milestone in my life. :)

My kids' Halloween costume reveal

I always plan my kids costumes months before Halloween since I get so excited thinking about all the possibilities! There are three musts I follow when deciding on their costumes:

1. They must coordinate - check out their costumes last year as LILO & STITCH and the year before that as DORA & BOOTS ;p
2. It must be comfortable - nothing too hot when they go around trick or treating
3. They must love it as well - I can't force them to wear something they don't want to anyways

And so this year (if you haven't already guessed from my teaser pic of Miley's shoes), my kids came as PETER PAN and TINKERBELL! :)

off to Neverland...

It was actually last Halloween when hubby came up with the idea, since he said it would look really cute with Miley as Tinkerbell being so much bigger than Sabe as Peter Pan hehe. And he was so right! ;p

giant Tinkerbell with cutie Peter Pan :)

And it's also a good thing that Miley actually loves Tinkerbell too, especially after watching the Disney Fairies show on TV. And I'm glad they started showing classic cartoons on the Disney Channel, including Peter Pan which Sabe also ended up enjoying. Needless to say, they LOVE their costumes!

we can fly, we can fly, we can fly!

I totally love how light and comfortable both costumes are! I bought Sabe's Peter Pan costume from Divisoria, while hubby got Miley's Tinkerbell costume during a trip abroad. But they also have similar versions available in different department stores.

Anyway, here are more of their adorable photos from the mini photoshoot I did. As you can see, they had no problem getting into character. Project na project haha!

Anyway, Happy Halloween everyone! More pics to follow from our trick or treating in the coming posts. :)

All set for Halloween!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, especially now that I have kids of my own. I haven't had time to buy a lot of new spooky decorations since we've been so busy this past month, so some of these recycled ones from last year will do. :)

And of course, I'm sooooo excited for the kids' costumes this year! Here's a little teaser, can you guess what they'll go as? ;p

Shopping loot from the SM Kids Sale

Hubby and I went to SM Makati yesterday with the sole purpose of looking for a folding table for our kitchen area. But since the home section is all the way on the 5th floor, we had to pass by the children's department on the 3rd floor whether we liked it or not. ;p

I didn't even know they had a "Monstrous Sale" going on this whole month of October (yes, that's how long I haven't been to SM!). So what was supposed to be a quick trip to the mall turned out to be a couple of hours long since hubby and I couldn't resist checking out all the cute buys for the kids!

Usually, we end up buying so much stuff for our daughter Miley since girls are so much fun to shop for with all their colorful dresses, cute tops, frilly skirts, and so on. So it was such a treat yesterday when all of the clothes we found were for our son Sabe! And everything was 50% off or more!

I went crazy over these super cute shorts, I ended up buying almost every design! From P399.75, they were now about P200 each. And may belt pa! ;p

These collared shirts were also 50% off. The one on the left with the bike was now P125, while the other two shirts were now P150 each.

Sabe loves Toy Story so this sando set was a steal at just P135.

He also loves the Marvel Superheroes and this rashguard was down from P549.75 to P275.

This trolley bag will be perfect when Sabe starts school next year, and it's just P200!

Another good find was this pair of leather shoes from Fisher Price which was marked down from P799.75 to P299.

Of course, we also went around the girls section but for some reason, we couldn't find anything that Miley already didn't own or needed (she has so much clothes which I got from previous sales that she hasn't even worn yet!). But then we found this pink sandals from SugarKids which was now just P100. Super sulit!

The SM Kids Fashion Monstrous Sale is ongoing until October 31 so hurry if you still want to catch more of these great deals! :)
