manila tales

it's been 3 weeks of family, friends, shopping, and eating. amori has transformed her lola's office into a day care center twice a week, as protective lola does not want her in and out of the mall while i shop!



i think i have gotten what i have come here for - a trip to the salon, a hair treatment, a trip to greenhills and a christmas bazaar, and time with the family.

trips to the mall here with amori are not as simple as what i am used to. to begin with, i've gotten a lot of curious stares when i took amori to lunch with a few friends. i don't know what elicited stares - amori's hair, bringing a baby in a car seat, or bringing a baby without a yaya. LOL.

ten days more to go. it's quite bittersweet - i'm half happy to finally head home, but half sad to think about saying goodbye yet again. til then, we're quite happy hanging out at home, with a few side trips to the mall at odd hours.
