Asian Festival 2014

A little bit late but I just want to share our happy week end with my kiddo and hubby at Asian  festival that held once a year where there are lots of activities going on and bunch of booths to browse that sells different varieties of stuffs from different Asian countries. There were lots of food too in different  cuisine and one of my favorite was chicken satay from Thailand but of course I tried the Filipino food first, the pork barbeque and pansit(stir fry noodles)yummy.

As we look around and check out booths I saw a group of people dancing on the stage where they dance a hola (a Hawaiian dance)so we sat down and watch. When they finish dancing they ask from the audience who wants to volunteer and learn a hola dance and they will teach a basic hola moves and of course I volunteer  it's kinda interesting and fun so I tried it.

And of course my little one wants to join too.

 

Then when we were done there we went outside and check another shows that's on, on the other side where they have a stage also.

Here's some drummers

An Indian performers dance too to their Indian music to represent their country and their culture which is so much fun to dance. You can see the video if you click this link below.

 And of course I was there goofing around he-he. I think I burnt a lot of calories on that day from dancing. There were more to watch but I didn't get to see everything, the one I mentioned here are the one that I've watched. It was so much fun, and before we head home we stop by one of the booth to get a caricature of my family which is so cool.

Taaaaddda....

 

That was a fun weekend I will definitely go back again next year!

 

Have a great day everyone....



Saving Up!

Last year I bought a piggy bank for Carly to keep the money that me and my hubby received and going to receive from Christmas and birthday's. I save up all this money for her college education, I start saving up early for her in that way when she reach eighteen hopefully we have saved enough for her to spend to go to college.

 

CARLY'S PIGGY BANK

 I just want to put it in a piggy bank for now because I want to wait maybe a year or less than that to open a bank account for her where we can add money every month for her savings.

But her daddy is very anxious to open her piggy bank and count the money in it and open a bank account very soon but I said just wait it might not have enough in there. I don't think he can wait for a year  because he said it's not safe to keep a cash in the house because you'll never know somebody might break in.( I hope not we do have security alarm though but still scary thinking about it).

 

ROSE'S PURSE BANK

Yesterday I bought one for myself it's a purse bank, I saw this pretty purse in the store so I bought it. I will put some money in there that I earn from my crafts and other stuff that I make money out of for my vacation going back home someday. When I saw it on the shelve in the store I'm thinking oh wow this is perfect for my vacation savings, If I saw a luggage bank I could have buy one too ha-ha so that I can put more coins in it.

 

I know some people don't use piggy banks anymore this days because there are real banks now where you can keep your money with interest plus it's safer but for me I'm still using it because whenever I have a change I just drop it in there, safer also for my toddler that everything goes in the mouth when she see small things.And when it's full I'll take it to the coin machine that you can find in some grocery store and change it into a bill.

 

How about you guys do you have a piggy bank at home? Where do you keep all your coins?

 

 

Carly's 1s't Birthday Blast

Hello everyone I'm back it's been a while I didn't  visit my blog due to my little girl's birthday party preparation who is turned ONE last Saturday. Time flies so fast seems like it was just recently I had a baby and now she's already one.

I want to share with you guys Carly's birthday photos, I did held it at the park unfortunately the weather didn't agree with my party it was super windy. I can't decorate the shelter real good were I originally planned to make it look nice but the wind just blows everything but I can't complain with mother nature I'll take it better than rain.

Here's my two Minnie mouse's, the celebrant and the cake

 Cupcakes and another cake

 Despite the windy weather the kids had so much fun with the games.

Since I connot reach the ceiling to hang the piñata and the hanging candies(pabitin) I just hold it for them to reach it, well it works good.

I also had a game for the adults a balloon race

 where they walk with the balloon between their knees. It was funny and fun to watch them racing and of course the winner has a prize.

She was asleep for two hours in the party so we have to wait until she wakes up so that we can sing happy birthday and smash her cake because the kids are excited and ready to eat the cake and cupcakes. But of course since she just woke up she don't want to sit in the high chair so mommy has to hold her. I don't have to light up the candle because it's windy and she just poke the cake and taste it a little bit, I think she's not waking up completely to do all that stuff that's why the cake still in shape.

Cutting the cake

Thank you so much to everyone who gave the gifts I really appreciate it.

Carly says thank you for my awesome and wonderful gifts, I like them all.

Me and carly would like to say thank you to all the people who came to the party and celebrate with us it was a fun-tastic day with so much joy and laughter. Thank you also to all my friends and family who's giving me a hand and for helping me out to make the party happen I really appreciate it so much.

Where the time go?Rose is 32

Hello bloggers it was my birthday yesterday but the day before that I celebrated it with my other friend who also had a birthday on that day so I ask some of my friends to come over to my house to get together, nothing fancy we just had a good time chatting and eating some fish and dried fish(tuyo)ha-ha and a play date for the kids as well.

Here's our birthday cupcakes that I made, I still can't get over from my Minnie mouse party for Carly so I made a cupcake with Oreo cookies in Minnie mouse design.

Happy Birthday to us.

It's always fun celebrating my birthday with my friend cherry.

Happy Birthday to me!

And here is my Birthday cake, an ice cream cake with chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. yummy! It won't last long in the fridge for sure it's so good.

Thank you to all my friends, my in-laws and hubby for the presents I love them and I love you all.
