Claw Machine

After an exhausting seven hours of waiting at a certain government office (cough* LTO), we went to World of Fun arcade yesterday night.

Having only fifty pesos worth of tokens, we set our eyes on their claw vending machines. Guess what... we won two very kawaii plush toys! =)

Naldo controlled the claw while I crossed-fingers. It was absolutely equal work! Hehe! =D

Anyway, we usually take home all sorts of items from playing arcade games but this was our first time to be successful with the claw machine. Here are some of the prizes (Heffalump included) we've won from Timezone.

Tofu right below is the first plush we've won at the arcade. It is now in our car.

That's it for now. Hope you're having a great week. =)

Super Moon

Thanks to Sigma 70-300 f4-5.6 APO DG macro lens, we were able to take pretty decent photos of the March 19 Super Moon. They say that last Saturday's was the biggest full moon in 18 years so we feel lucky that we were able to watch and photograph it. We also heard that it was rainy and cloudy in some parts of the country so we feel even luckier.

Loved it when the "moon light" hit the clouds and formed nearly circular arcs of colors. It was just beautiful.

The moon looked like an eye in the sky here. It was so mysterious and magical.

We almost saw America's flag on it- just kidding! =D

That's it for now. Hope you have a super happy week!

Japan 3-11

Stay strong Japan! Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Valentine's Day Game

Yesterday we modified the game 20Q and made it a perfect Valentine's Day game. We call our version "Guess for Time". The objective was to win as many time scrolls as possible by guessing the word with yes-or-no questions.

On an orange heart post-it, I wrote a noun for Naldo to guess. I placed the post-it on his heart hat and set the timer to one minute. We took turns and every time one of us guessed the word that the other wrote, he or I get to pick a scroll from the "pitcher of time". We played the game for an hour. It was really enjoyable because we wrote nouns that were significant to us so it was quite a challenge and at the same time it brought back a lot of good memories. =)

After the game was when the real fun began. The time scrolls served like wish coupons. We asked each other to do special things within time limit depending on the time scrolls that each of us was able to collect. ^o^

The game is very simple yet romantic. It's a perfect anniversary activity. If you'd like to play this game, here's the time sheet that we made.

That's it for now. We hope you had an amazing Valentine's Day just like we did!

Happy Valentine's Day

Spending Valentine's Day is like a once a year hobby that people in love collectively do to make their special someone feel even more special. Some take the easy way via chocolates, flowers and fancy dinner while some do not spend at all and just be creative. Naldo and I... we're creative.-(***winks) I can't tell yet what I've planned because even though he knows I'm up to something, I still want today to be a bit of a surprise for him. For now, I just want to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day.

For the record there really is such a "Happy Day" apple juice. Cute huh? Anyway, I love what Naldo did to the apples. =) Keep smiling!

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

We've always been huge fans of Monster Hunter. In fact the reason why we bought our PSP is because of this game. It's just awesome that it now has two spin-offs: the online Monster Hunter Frontier and the cute-cute Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airu Village and eight series: Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter G , Monster Hunter Freedom, Monster Hunter 2, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Monster Hunter Tri , Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is totally different from its predecessor games. Despite that, we're loving it.

1. World Maps= VAST. Psychoserum is a must (at least until we get used to where the main monsters are.)

2. New icons.

3. Village Farm has improved a lot.

Fishing and insect gathering have become easier.

Hunter can send up to 4 felynes to mine and this time using pickaxes not bombs.

Felynes can be sent off to quests and they bring home items.

Um, do you want it rare or well-done? =D

4. New Monsters = New Armor Sets & Weapons = Yay!!! :-)

5. We can now bring two felyne fighters during solo quests.

6. +++ We can armor them up. So kawaii!!! ^o^

7. Speaking of kawaii, check this. We ♥♥♥ this pig.

8. Instead of a kitchen, there's now a hot spring. Hunter must clear quests given by the felyne near the hot spring entrance to increase health and stamina. Bonus skills can be bought from the felyne inside the hot spring area.

There's so much more but there's just too many. So that's it for now. Hope you have a fun yet productive week!

Naruto and Ben 10's WildMutt

We were looking at our capsule toys and at that moment these two (Naruto and Ben 10's WildMutt) just stood out. Here's what we thought of... (LOL!)

Have a fun weekend everyone!

Mountain Adventure

There's this place called Dahilayan Adventure Park located somewhere near Del Monte's Pineapple Plantation in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.

It's a 45-60 minute drive from Cagayan de Oro City. The place offers the longest dual zip-line in Asia making it a must-go spot.

It's a perfect place for anyone who wants to enjoy a simple mountain escapade and a break from the stressful city life.

They have picnic grounds perfect for a family's day out. (Entrance Fee= PhP50/person)

They have lodges for overnight stay. Take note: they have h.o.t. shower! ;-)

Hut is PhP1500 and has 1 double deck and 1 double sized bed.

The rest are freebies!

mountain view...

pine trees...

mountain ferns...

gardens and flowers...

Most tourists stop by Del Monte's pineapple plantation on the way to Dahilayan but we made the stop on the way back instead.

Everything the light touches is pineapple kingdom. -LOL!

We also passed by a banana plantation- not sure if it's also Del Monte's. The fruits are wrapped with blue plastic bags making them look like blue lanterns. ^0^

Naldo and I were to take this giant pineapple home but there was a kid watching. -lol!
