Back to the Park...

So the costume was already worn and joined the pile of laundry to be washed, while in some corner of Mama's computer, stacked up high were the photos of the Christmas/United nations celebration of 2012. Yet there is still no word about it here?

Indeed, because we were not home at all yesterday. In the dark of early morning, we all set out on the car, only to say hi to the blue sky in a different place.

Good morning, Makati!

Yeah, Daddy had to go to his office in Manila, again.
And so... just like last time, we ended up at the same mall, again.
But it would seem that this Mama underestimated Kecil a little bit. For she actually remembered a certain park we visited last time, where she spent a good, lovely, active afternoon playing.
So... upon her insistence, we ended up there again.

There were the playground equipment, which, I'm sure, was the main attraction. Unfortunately, they were undergoing some 'sprucing up'. The paint is still quite new, although completely dried out. But some parts are still missing. So Kecil did not quite spend so much time with them.
Good thing the park had some new 'attraction'.

Red Christmas trees! Haha... awesome. You have not forgotten that Christmas is another 4 days, right?

Even better was the fact that the park was not completely flat, which means that Mama could get a comfortable seat on the grass. Add to that also the fact that Mama was dressed comfortably enough to sit on the grass. Not to forget the cloudy weather in the morning.

So we spent a lovely morning at the park, Kecil playing, jumping, posing with the trees, while Mama took pictures and generally tried to work out the sleepiness from her systems.
Ain't it nice to be little, to sleep lying down straight across the middle seat while Mama and Daddy took turn to drive? This Mama is officially jealous.

Oh, and did Mama mention Kecil posing? Pose she did. With her funny face, and even pretending to be a statue.

Well, it was a lovely morning spent at the park while waiting for Daddy (and for the mall to open. They are only open at 11! Unbelievable!). We finally left around lunch time. We did not leave Manila until later in the day, but the rest of the day was basically spent navigating the traffic, exploring another mall, then going around looking desperately for a way to charge Mama's old phone (long story, don't ask) so we can arrange rendezvous with Daddy, and finally navigating the traffic again out of Manila.

It was a long, tiring day, and it really took another day to recover from it all. So... perhaps tomorrow, for the promised story on the costume and all?
Cheers!
