Ice Skating in Mall of Asia

For many years, I've always been intrigued by what it feels to ice skate. I had that curiosity when they first launched the ice skating rink in Megamall and then now in Mall of Asia they have it too.

But old age has caught up with me LOL yeah, my knees aren't what they used to be and I've left it to the kids to enjoy the feeling and I just spent the time looking at them from the sidelines. We were lucky to get free tickets to ice skating, though you still have to pay for the ice skates rental so Dana, Den, Ate Mel and Den's friend Uyeh took advantage and went ice skating last August 21.

As luck would have it, nobody in the group has even skated in their lives before and there were some hilarious moments on the ice LOL Dana was very excited and she loved being on the ice. I promised her that next time, we'll hire an instructor and I'll skate with her waaah!!! hahahaha

Here are some pics :

Dana's First Educational Field Trip

August 11, 2009 - Dana went on her first educational outbound experience (otherwise known as The Field Trip) with her classmates and schoolmates. Patrick went with her as a chaperone LOL

Their first stop was at the Fun Farm in Canlubang Laguna where they got to enjoy a little bit of horseback riding, riding a wagon being pulled by a carabao, a little fishing and petting some rabbits and hamsters. Needless to say, when she came home the chatter was non-stop and she even brought home 2 gold fish as pets, a fish bowl and accessories. Here are some of the pictures from the trip:




There was even a rope course that the kids needed to climb. Fortunately for Dana, she's used to to doing these things. She just came from Enchanted Kingdom where she kept going up and down the ropes in the playground. Some of her other classmates couldn't even finish the course! She went through it three times much to the amazement of her very own teacher and the facilitators of the trip!! hahaha

Dana had lice.. uggh..

okay so that caught your attention I bet hahaha even though it sounded gross, it deserved to be in the blog because it's still a milestone in my child's life hahahaha especially after that last post about new firsts hahahha

Before we realized that she really had lice, I saw her scratching her head like there's no tomorrow. I figured she was all sweaty from riding her bike that that was the reason why she was itchy. And then, when her babysitter was combing through her hair after her bath, she mentioned that Dana indeed had lice and there were so many of them LOL

I immediately told the babysitter to remove as much as she can and instructed Patrick to buy medicinal shampoo to stop the lice from multiplying.

It took 2 days for us to get rid of all the lice and some of them have hatched too. We then went to Dana's favorite hair salon and had her hair cut. It was all good timing because school was about to start. Here'a a picture of Dana with her new lice-free hair :)
