January 2, 2012
Our house arrest has finally been lifted! Haha. I have no idea what lead us to go to MOA and Luneta, but from what I remember, we were talking on New Year’s Day and then Luneta finally came into subject and we all agreed to go there the next day. The next day, January 2, our last hang out day was almost cancelled! ERMENGERD!!! There was conflict in schedule and misunderstandings with the time, but we eventually came up with a solution. We left after lunch and went to MOA (Mall of Asia)! The adults and us kids separated because we wanted to do different things! Haha.
While the adults, Inay, Mom & Dad, had coffee at cafe France, my sister, cousins and I watched Segunda Mano! We heard good feedback about it and we just had to watch as a continuation of our horror movie marathon from the previous night! I was a bit disappointed because of the bad acting (sorry, I couldn’t bear with Kris’ fake scared face. haha.) and the fail attempts to scare the audience. I mostly laughed during the movie because of how Kris always looks constipated in all of her scenes. (I have nothing against Kris, she’s better off as a host.)
After the movie, we walked around MOA and embarrassed ourselves by causing traffic while taking pictures of the Christmas snow thingy in the middle of MOA. Hahaha. We got tired of going in circles, so we finally agreed to have coffee since we’re all still sleepy from staying up late the previous night.
I just noticed that they’re now using the new logo!
Chillin’!
We left MOA and headed to Luneta, which is the main reason why we went out. On our way there, we saw the awesome Christmas lights of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines). Cooool! We just had to take a picture! I was supposed to get out of the car to get a decent photo because the car was moving, but my parents were scared that someone might grab my camera and thankfully my sister had a better view on her side… so this picture is by (c) Kathleen. Hahaha.
And we’re finally in Luneta! Helllooodurrr, Dr. Jose Rizal! I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been to Luneta. It’s good to visit my good friend, Rizal. (Wow! Close! Hahaha.)
I love lamps!
Jumpshot! I hope we don’t get shot for having too many of it! Hahaha. There were several fail shots but I won’t post it because it’s embarrassing. Hihihi.
A picture on the fountain.
And now I present to you the new and improved Luneta…
Look at the purrdy (pretty) colors!
Pumi-pink and Luneta Park! Haha.
The fountain dances as if synchronized with upbeat songs blasting through mega speakers. It also breathes out fire! Haha. Our parents told us that the fountain already existed even before but it wasn’t maintained, until now! Yayy! I’m supposed to make an “It’s More Fun In the Philippines.” poster thing-o, but then I don’t know what caption to put. “Dancing. It’s more fun in the Philippines.”??! What’cha think?
We walked around for a bit and took more photos.
And then, our stomachs told us that we should grab some dinner. We drove to Yellowcab, Macapagal for dinner…
Told ‘ya, I loved lamps!
My “kargador” left hand. Hahaha. With a London ring courtesy of my fashyown sister.
I’ve always loved the Coca-Cola red! Ooh lala!
We ordered the set meal. I think it was Set B, which included Four Seasons Pizza (in our case, it was only three seasons since they ran out of one of the flavors), chicken and chips sampler, and ice cream! Look at all the forks already attacking the pizza! Everyone was already hungry so they couldn’t wait for me to take a picture before they dug in! Hahaha.
The chicken and chips sampler.
Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Creaaam!
This was our last day to hang out all together since my cousins, Ella & Erika, were already leaving for Bicol the following day. Good thing we got to spend the whole day together! I have to say that this has to be one of the best Christmas breaks I’ve ever had. I was worry free and I spent it with my genuinely loving family.
P.S. Have you hung-out with my boy, Rizal, yet?! Let’s not be tourists in our own country. 
Just like what the new DOT slogan says, “It’s more fun in the Philippines!”
