Was separated briefly from my brood yesterday… :((
 |
| Waving goodbye to me as they walked towards the U.S. Embassy to renew their visas :'( |
My visa has a different expiration date from them since I’ve had mine forever it seems (when the U.S. Embassy still gave indefinite status)! 😛 And the kids got theirs the same time as their dad.
We parked at Museo Pambata so I have somewhere to hang while I waited for my family to come back. Would have opted for starbucks teehee, but then they would all have to cross the big, scary, very busy street. So I settled for the museum since I haven’t been there yet anyway, and my Lavinia was gushing about her last visit. Decided to see if it for myself! 😛
 |
| Hard to see them go… O.A. much??? 😉 |
 |
|
Entrance is 100 php/person. Discounted for students & senior citizens
|
 |
| This is what you see as you enter the building.. a BUTANDING! 🙂 |
 |
| The hallway that separates the 2 rooms.. |
 |
| The OLD MANILA room |
 |
| where you can find a spanish galleon.. |
 |
| and step into a mini cathedral (Binondo church) |
The 2nd room is the KALIKASAN, also relatively small, like the 1st one, but it was cool & much better than enduring the heat outside! 🙂
 |
| Simulated rainforest & coastal area |
Further along the corridor is the 3rd room, I LOVE MY PLANET EARTH, where you can view exhibits on climate change & what you can do to help save our planet.
Up the stairs is a big room divided into: Career Options, My Body Works, the cute Pamilihang Bayan, and of course, the Gift Shop..
 |
| Career option.. but they featured mostly writers & illustrators.. |
 |
| Couldn’t resist having my picture taken in this.. It says: Ako ay ubod ng tapang. Hinahamon ko ang lahat! Figured my kids will get a kick out of it! ;P |
 |
| This is MY BODY WORKS. I have to say, among all the rooms, I found this the creepiest haha! I just watched The Walking Dead, so I kept imagining zombies walking in every corner here! Gave me the goosebumps! Hey, I was ALL ALONE in that big creepy place!!! @_@ |
 |
| See? I’m telling you.. ZOMBIES!!! ;P |
 |
| haha yep, you can actually hear a FART from that butt!!! ;)) |
 |
| This is the PAMILIHANG BAYAN part. The stalls were so cute… |
 |
| And this is the GIFT SHOP. |
 |
| Cute Ballers! 🙂 Should have gotten one for my Lavinia! Only 40 php. |
Frankly, you would have a better time at the Nido Science Discovery Center in MOA (mall of asia) at 250 php per person. But for 100 php, Museo Pambata is ok 🙂 It’s just that there are more interactive & high-tech activities at the Nido center.
Finally, my brood was back! m/ but faces that greeted me were, let’s just say –drained & not too happy hehe! ;))
Yesterday was such an epic fail, haha! Too bad my babies had to be pulled out at a crucial time from their class (yes, this is an important week for them as it is their “HELL WEEK” –the week before exams & clearance with power-tripping teachers have to be strictly implemented!! @_@), only to find out that our day was for nothing.. and partly (or mainly ???) because of —ME!!! ;P
Just look at their tired faces! :))
But after a couple of these…
 |
| Pancit Canton 309 php |
 |
| Aristocrat Chicken Honey 398 php, simply the best! <3 This is what we always get, foolproof. |
 |
| Mommy Lucy Bibingka 65 php just outside aristocrat Good, but Ferino’s is still the best I think. And Joni’s! <3 |
 |
| Special Halo-Halo 100 php |
 |
| Happy smiles again, yippee!!! m/ |
My babies are such good sports! That’s why I just love them so much. And they are so forgiving of their dear old mother, mwahaha! 😛
So yesterday wasn’t totally an epic fail, if only for this..
 |
| An impromptu SHOPPING SPREE!!! m/ Small bags, but BIG smiles! I’m glad! <3 Can’t believe how little 10k buys nowadays, OMG! I thought Forever 21 was supposed to be affordable!!! @_@ |
Good luck on your next appointment guys. And yes, I’m not going anywhere near your passports.. promise!!! ;))
