It's More Gay in the Philippines!

In time with the new tagline for the Philippine tourism, "It's more fun in the Philippines", I have decided  to write what has been long overdue since this event happened during the Christmas holiday...when my kid attended his first Christmas party in Jollibee. He joined the Kid's Club that's why we got an invitation so I said to myself, "Sure, why not?" We just paid P200 which I think was a good deal because it included 2 meals, fun games and of course seeing the Jollibee mascot...which is the rockstar for all kids! 
Kids and even parents go crazy each time they see Jollibee (some even force their kids to have their pic taken with Jollibee even if the kid was scared and crying...tsk tsk). 
Now I am sure you are wondering why I entitled this blog "It's more gay in the Philippines"...well because Filipinos simply love gay people...I don't have anything against them since they are really fun to be with...but they are starting to invade everything even children's parties...seeing them dance so gayish would make kid's think that is more fun being gay so I would be gay too! I was glad that my kid did not react much seeing them dance...but I did cos I had fun watching the gay duo show their moves. LOL
 
All the gay dancing was fine with me but what I can't really stand is hearing Willie Revillame songs non-stop during break time and intermissions...it really drove me crazy! Kids would even sing along and dance to songs like "ikaw na lang" and "kendeng kendeng?" (I am sure you are wondering why I know his songs because I watch Wil Time Big Time sometimes but c'mon hearing them in a children's party???) I thought I would hear songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle" or "The Wheels on the Bus" which are more educational. 
Now game time! the staff asked for bigger kids first to join the contest and the gay guy asked my kid to join since he looked like he was already 5. I said he was just 3 but he still forced him to join (I'm not even sure if he heard me or bothered hearing what I got to say). Contestants have to hold their breath for a long time and say "Merry Christmas" as long as they can...since my kid did not understand the instructions that well because he was just 3 years old...he instead sang "Merry Christmas to you" and people laughed. I hope that did not cause any damage to my kid because I know that in some kids...they get insecurities and inferiority complex because they were ridiculed or embarrassed in front of many people. 
I was guilty of laughing because my kid was just so adorable! I just made him feel that what he did made people  laugh and that was cool. He made a comeback when he attended a swimming party recently by winning the game for saying "happy birthday" the longest...woohoo! proud of you baby!
 Warning: If you are a conservative parent and very strict in raising up your kid then don't bring him to a Jollibee party.

Eastwood New Year Staycation

Sorry that I have not been updating my blog post (as if someone reads it  LOL). It's been almost three years I think since I last wrote here that's why I made it my New Year's resolution to fix up my blog and write more often. Don't be surprised if you see stories about my adventures for the past few years since I will be doing a lot of catching up. Let me begin with my Eastwood New Year Staycation. Why Celebrate New Year in Eastwood?  I chose Eastwood City because it is closer to my place making it more accessible and there's a free New Year Countdown concert. I was considering Mall of Asia since they also have a free concert, but I already felt tired just thinking of my travel time and traffic. I originally booked a hotel near Ayala, Makati thinking that they still have a street party. After doing some research, I think they already stopped doing it for a few years now so Eastwood it is! Where to stay in Eastwood Eastwood Richmond Hotel is the most ideal p

Get A Taste of Hong Kong at Eat Fresh Restaurant

Holy Week is all about fasting, but it is really hard to do that when the food in front of you is tempting. Every Holy Thursday, it has been a family tradition to go on a Visita Iglesia. For those who don't know what that is, it is a religious practice of visiting at least seven churches and praying the Stations of the Cross. When we were younger, we used to visit like 14 churches and that's quite tiring. Today, it is faster with seven churches and more people are out of town taking advantage of the long weekend. After Visita Iglesia, with sadly a few family members getting sick because of heat and exhaustion, the rest decided to go to Eat Fresh Famous Hong Kong Street Food for late dinner. It was located along J.Abad Santos Street in San Juan near Xavier School and Wilson. From the outside, you wouldn't think that it is a restaurant because people choose the Hong Kong street food on stick displayed in front. I thought you would have to wait until they grill the f

All Iz Good at 7107 IMF: Day 2

After a night of EDM and hiphop music, the next day of the 7107 IMF was expected to have a different crowd. This is my chance to bump into people my age unlike Day 1 where I felt like a wannabe teeny-bopper. haha! I can't even keep up with all the non-stop dancing and drinking like I used to during my techno rave days in Malate and Makati. We got to the venue around 2:30 pm and the front area of the stage was already crammed with people. There goes my chance of getting up close with the Red Hot Chili Peppers . But I still got my hopes high...even if the chances of meeting them were really slim. So we settled in the middle part, which we called our home base cos that's were we meet when we get tired of roaming around.  Since the only bands that I was interested in watching at 7107 IMF that night were Empire of the Sun and RHCP, I ended up hanging out with some of my pals who I haven't seen for years.  Finally! Some people I can relate to...and they luckily got t
