HAD FUN UNDER THE SUN ☀️ : Our son's 3rd birthday was a blast! This year we opted for family and quality time to celebrate his amazing feats. We booked for a short staycation and it was satisfying 🤗

Kahit mainit, we still enjoyed the waterpark dahil may mga shaded areas and kid-friendly slides. 🛝

Extra thanks to the management team of Le Meridien for giving us extra day-tour tickets as they forgot to send cake for our son's special day. That was really thoughtful and beyond necessary. 💯

✅Booking Tip: Always use google.com/travel to get the best deal for your next staycation. I know it's always tempting to just use your usual app like Booking or Agoda but there are other reliable operators out there which have better deals with certain hotels. In our case, we had a great deal from Dnata.

AKALA NAMIN MADALI LANG ! ❄️ 🛼

Ticked off another item in our bucket list - ang mag date sa ice rink at mag-ice "skating" ng sabay. hahaha! Naka quote — unquote ang skating kasi 90% of the entire session yung nagrereflect ka bakit ka pumayag sa ganitong klase ng date. 😂😂

Anyways, we still enjoyed the experience dahil sa savior naming si Mr. Snowman na hawakan. If walang hawakan siguro nasa gilid lang kami 100% of the time nakatunganga.haha ⛄

Forda Experience 10/10 yung tipong pinapawisan ka kahit nasa higanteng yelo na kayo. Not to mention na pinapalibutan kayo ng mga batang ang gagaling mag-skate tapos kayo mukhang mga ligaw na a*o .

📍Location: Dubai Ice Rink, Dubai Mall
🎫 Tickets: 90aed off-peak/110aed peak for 1.5hrs session
⛄Add-on: Snowman Aid 45aed

PS: May Buy 1 Get 1 sa Entertainer App 💯

Senses Cafe is fun & cute!

We visited the place for a quick caffeine fix but was surprised to see a corner full of boardgames and books. Definitely the place to be if you want to unwind with friends or treat your mind with good reads.

Coffee is on point and the neat set-up makes the place so welcoming.

A sad truth that we are still facing.

Tried to help a friend get a verified contract here in the UAE before her vacation in the PH. Started to research the requirements and saw this:
Department of Migrant Workers obliging all our Domestic Workers kababayans to secure an addendum of their labour contracts before they can get a verified contract.

For those who don't know, you need to get a verified contract in order to secure an OEC Exemption (a crucial document for you to board your flight back to your work country).

Very sad that we still need to spell out these basic things (see highlighted).

UNDERRATED CAFE SA DIFC

Guys in case mapadaan kayo sa DIFC, check out Spaces Eatery.

Sobrang nag-enjoy kami sa coffee at sa food nila. Pinaka-favorite namin yung Cheese snowball (salamat sa staff at mukhang dinamihan pa nila yung Strawberry syrup).

Ganda ng vibes ,simple modern kaya sarap mag-chill.

This was our 2nd time visiting the place at mukhang di pa kami sawa sa Cheese snowball. hahaha

Our personal favorites: Cheese Snowball, Spanish Latte, and Matcha Latte

📍 Spaces Eatery, DIFC, Gate 2

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania : 8/10

We enjoyed the start of MCU Phase 5 even if there are a lot of blanks about the quantum realm.
Still, we can say it is better than Eternals & Thor: Love and Thunder.
Don't get rotten by some tomato heads. Enjoy the movie and get conquered by Kang's acting.
