Zoe's Moving Up Day

Home Sweet Home

Last April 6, we finally moved in to our condo. It's been almost a month since we did and though we're still in the adjustment status, I can say that this small space really feels like home to us now :)

The Amazing Christmas House in Filinvest

We've heard about this Christmas house in Mark street Filinvest which is literally covered in Christmas lights and displays. We visited it on the 30th and we were awed by how much work was put into this house. Though, I can only imagine how much their Meralco bill is. The family who owns the house opens it to the public from 6pm-10pm.

Hi 5 House Hits 2014

One of our Christmas gifts for Zoe this year is the Hi 5 House Hits concert. We weren't sure whether to have her watch the show this year since the ticket prices have gone up significantly presumably because of the venue. However, we decided to let her watch it but instead of getting three tickets, we just got two. 

The venue this year is at Newport Performing Arts Theater. We got there quite early as we were scared of the carmageddon due to the holiday rush. As a result, we got there at 9am with the show starting at 11am :P 

I liked how organized this year's show was compared to the chaos last year at SM Aura. Because of the disorganized system last year, Zoe got stressed out because of the crowd and got a fever towards the end of the show. At the Newport theater, they allowed people to come in as soon as they opened at 10 as opposed to pooling everyone until just before the show starts. 

Here are some photos.

Our condo unit was finally turned over to us in November. We did a site visit and brought along Philipp Santor of Fraz Works who will do the fit out of the wood works. He had to take measurements in order to give us a quote. Fast forward to two weeks after, the paint job is already done and the first half of the wood works are about to get delivered. Here are some photos of the newly painted unit.

Our target move in date is end of February. There are currently some construction on going for the swimming pool and pavillion which are directly in front of our building. The PMO said it will be finished by first quarter next year. 

Trick or Treat 2014 at South Bay Gardens

Zoe graduated from her Gymboree Pumpkin Patch parties this year. I've always wanted her to go through the real house-to-house trick or treat experience and that's what we did this year. My friend, Lainey, invited us over to their trick or treat celebration at South Bay in Sucat.
