Ayala Triangle Gardens, BFast and Bon Chon!

It's my first time to visit the the Ayala Triangle Gardens, I wanted to show the kids the Spectacular Spectrum (A Symphony of Lights and Sounds) and I wanted to try BFast by Chef Laudico, I heard about his Angus Tapa, his version of Tapsilog.  

my big boy!

The kids liked their Angus Tapa and Corned Beef, tasty and they give big servings just enough for kuya! Hehehe! 

Angus Corned Beef P168.00

Since Bon Chon is right beside BFast, we decided to it another try..  It's yummy pala.. how come their branch at Greenhills has smaller wings and not so tasty??  Kuya Kian enjoyed the chicken after eating his angus tapa.. (takaw!!!!)

Khloe @ 1 Year & 3 Months

Khloe can easily mimic the words that we ask her to say..  It’s always fun talking to her because she always answers back with a “no” or a nod and “yes” or “po-po” (opo).
She loooves her ate and kuya so much, loves playing with them, likes to be at the middle of her ate and kuya..  She likes to play hide and seek, but always hides to her hiding place.

pinilit pumwesto sa gitna!

Ate's got a new doll! :)

can't get enough of her!

Here is her “dictionary”;
Khloe              - “we-we”
Papang            - “papang”
Mamang          - “mama”
Daddy             - “dad-dad”
Mommy           - “mom-mom”
Kuya               - “yayay”
Ate                  - “te”
Penge              - “nge!”

I kinda’ like her baby talk but as much as possible we teach her to say the right words properly just like her ate and kuya (something their lolo and lolas’ never understands!). 
Her current favorite song is The Lazy Song of Bruno Mars, she loves dancing to this song..  So cute!  She’s so malambing, she’s easy to take care ‘cause she’s not so kulet and you can ask her to do stuff and she’ll do it gladly.
