Weekend Activities in Metro Manila

There are so many fun activities coming up this weekend!

I wanted to put them all in a post so that I can share them with you. Some of them might be useful for you and the family to plan for a visit.

big banquet 2 (hi-res)

The Big Banquet 2 brings together all the best in catering for your upcoming celebrations. The idea behind it is, if you know you’re having a big party coming up (think Sweet 16, Debut, Wedding, or even 25th Wedding Anniversary), you’ll have an idea of what’s out there to choose from. You pay one fee at the door and you can taste all the best that these premier caterers offer. There are two “seatings” (you don’t actually sit) so it might be best to plan your day and make sure you arrive ready to EAT!

Also in the line with food, Best Food Forward brings forth the best food vendors in one big bazaar like fashion and allows the customer to visit each “booth” at their own speed and on their own time. The organizers behind this two day affair invite guests to purchase snacks, drinks, and meals from any of the participating vendors ALL day.  This is the place where you will be able to try the most talked about treats on Instagram.

I have heard about Elin from many of the SoMoms. In a Pre-Holiday Trunk Show, Bungalow 300 will be featuring Elin together with Seychelles. To find out more about the sale and what they will be offering to The South, check out their Facebook page or the event page.

 This one is for all my southern friends who have been wanting to check out Bikram Yoga Alabang. Many of you have asked about Bikram because you know I enjoy this form of yoga. Here is a promo that makes it even easier to sign up! Uhm…and the flier has owls! C’mon-I had to share for my owl lovers too 😉

LIKE to TRAVEL? 

You can visit the Discovery Travel Mart at SM Megamall as early as tomorrow (Friday October 10th) at the Mega Fashion Hall and avail up to a 55% discount on your next vacation with the Discovery Group of Hotels! 

Discovery isn’t just in Boracay. Remember that they have Discovery Suites in Ortigas, Discovery Country Suites in Tagaytay, and Club Paradise in Coron, Palawan. Look for their newest property, Discovery Primea, to open soon in Makati! If you don’t get a chance to visit this weekend, you still will have time to visit the Mega Atrium from the 13th-16th.

1620744_331964300316788_3727424907640726498_n (1)Best Buddies will be hosting their FIRST Citizen event this weekend on October 11th!  Thank you SM CARES for sponsoring 15 pairs of Best Buddies for this Bowling Activity! If you would like to know more about Best Buddies or how to become a Peer Buddy or a Citizen Buddy please visit our Facebook page and Instagram account.

10711038_10204371546796328_9213827536413196872_nThe Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines is always hosting events for their members. They are usually not posted publicly (mostly in our group) because numbers are limited. This Tennis workshop is now FULL with 30 participants who will get the chance to learn the basics and play tennis in a fun and loving way. Thank you to all of the sponsors who made this possible. 

Enjoy! I’m sure I missed so many more things that are going on this weekend, but I know that as the holidays grow nearer there will be even more fun activities and bazaars that I will be able to share with you as they pop up. If you know of any family fun activities please feel free to share here too!

Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has all the southern fixings and more.

Grilled and smoked meats. Seafood and mixed drinks. Fried chicken and fish and chips. Starters include fresh salads, corn bread, nachos and more. But the kicker comes in the form of a Make Your Own Milkshake bar, and YES, you can order it spiked with your favorite liquor! 

Waterside is only one of quite a few restaurants that you can enjoy  beautiful weekend brunches with your favorite person, the fam bam, or your friends. 

Check out www.mommanmanila.com to see the full menu and what Nino and I enjoyed most.
Creating food together is one of our love language Creating food together is one of our love languages. We flow in the kitchen. I get excited and move too fast, and she grounds me, and slows things down. We can move around one another while still staying in sync. In our own kitchen, there is music that guides us and sets the tone for the meal. Gelli would be in the mix, the boys will set the table, someone makes dessert, and maybe @manila.gent  makes a drink. 

When we prepare our table together there is so much that goes into the process and the ingredients. This mindful movement brings me so much joy when we are all together.

Even more so when we attend classes together to learn new dishes too.  @themayakitchen1 has regular classes offering cooks of all abilities to learn something new when preparing meals for for our families.

Check out my new article on @rappler for @kitchen143 where Gia and I learned from Chef @cocoyventura a few new Pinoy dishes that will definitely be on rotation for #TeamGellibean.

Crispy Pata. Is there anything better than perfec Crispy Pata.

Is there anything better than perfectly brined crispy fried pork? 

@manila.gent and I visited @viicsrestaurantph for simple Pinoy fare that hit the spot. Admittedly, after moving here so many years ago, I took a while to warm up to this dish that is one of Nino’s (and my mom’s) favorites. But every once in a while-I won’t feel guilty about indulging in this deep fried treat.

Happy to learn that we can also order for when Mom arrives through @foodpanda_ph too!
The @admiralhotelmanila M-Gallery has opened their The @admiralhotelmanila M-Gallery has opened their doors! @manila.gent and I were privileged to visit the hotel on Friday night with some new friends and we were both so excited to explore some new digs in Manila.

Looking forward to bringing the family back soon!

@thevanguardacademyph is still open for enrollment in their summer program, and has a full staff for all therapies and interventions. We really love her school and all of the faculty and staff. It makes a huge difference when you have confidence in the people you leave your child with for learning!

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!
Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of ma Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of many dishes that we enjoyed during #SundayBrunch at Waterside in @solaireresort .

From cornbread, to mom’s potato salad, melt in your mouth whisky cured short ribs, homemade sausages and more. This #BrunchBuffet had @manila.gent and I rolling each other out the door!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!
Movie Night at home with the big screen made easy Movie Night at home with the big screen made easy by @lumosprojector_ph!

Summer Lovin’ ain’t over for #TeamGellibean. Hop on over to www.mommanmanila.com to read my full review on how easy this #homeprojector is to use when you want to watch your favorite family film!!

Gelli and I have watched Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Grease, and BTS Videos. Up next? The Sound of Music!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
