Last week, was a bit hectic.  Kailee celebrated her first ever Grandparent's Day, my day job was a bit consuming but rewarding - to sum up the week that was, it was tiring.  A good kind of tired and hectic, you know what I mean.  I didn't expect that my weekend would be *eventful* as well. So last Saturday - after my Panget's annual mooncake dice game, Kailee and I headed straight to KidZania for our second time.  I am very thankful to Cai of Apples and Dumplings for thinking of dear Kailee to bring to the McDonald's event.  Thank you Cai, very very much!  We were late because our dice game ended late - plus, I was stuck along EDSA not because of traffic, but because Waze failed me.  But it was all good.  Two weeks ago, the PNP's Highway Patrol Group handled the traffic along EDSA and made a few very good and beneficial changes.  It just so happened that the shortcut that I was used to (and Waze was used to) was closed - well, the barriers...

After the very successful Fire Fighter stint, Kailee and I proceeded to the Hospital next door.  I didn't know that there were three departments in the Hospital!  One was ER (Emergency Room), another was Surgery and lastly the Nursery.  I'm sure you can guess, we were went to. You guessed right, the nursery.  We waited for about 15 minutes in line (this is a short wait already), the kids were given ID tags with big numbers with small batch numbers at the bottom (this is to distinguish which batch the kids belong to)  Most of those who fell in line were girls.  Duh.  Hahaha!!  And when it was their turn - well, all of us parents were watching them intently.  We were so very eager - taking pictures and trying to lip read.  Hahaha!! Kailee really enjoyed taking care of the fake babies.  She really did.  She was beaming when she came out of the nursery.  She wanted to do more! Next up, we went to the Magn...

Woohoo!! * I need to make a part two because my post will be soooo lengthy!  You know how I am when I *kwento* Hahaha!! * KidZania is here!  To tell you the truth, I had no idea what KidZania is all about.  I had to google it when I head about it through friends last year.  I thought the concept was really nice and I was sure to try it once it opened. KidZania Manila recently opened its doors and everyone was excited.  I was included.  Hahaha!  The thing was - I had no idea when I would visit, but I was sure that I would.  My friend Kath, sent me a message inviting me to go with her since she bought her kids tickets.  I went online and bought for Kailee and Connor on the same dates.  Since we went on a *holiday* the rate was the same with that of the *weekend* rate which was a but more expensive with less time.  We chose the 1st slot - 9:00AM to 2:00PM.  I assumed that we wound be done by 1:00PM tops. A few days ago, my...
