The Mind Museum at Taguig

Had a chance last Friday to join my sons educational trip at The Mind Museum in Taguig along with his CFA schoolmates.  Was really looking forward to this day and almost didn’t make it due to commitments at work, as it was the first time We would be visiting The Mind Museum.  Originally, only my son and I would be joining the activity as my other 2 kids (aged 2 and 2 months)  were still too young to enjoy the exhibits and  besides the entrance fee was too expensive.  However, at the last minute my wife decided to bring the entire family. We got a discount for the tickets for the school activity, as We only paid for Php 600 for 1 child (Php 450) and a teacher (Php 150), since CFA was a home school. We needed 3 more tickets 2 for my wife and her sister and 1 for our little girl, who too tall to pass below 2 ft.  The regular ticket for adults is Php 600 and Php 450 for kids, so this meant that We’d have to pay an additional Php 1650 for the tickets. Good thing there was a promo for Student Price for All Ages during Tuesdays-Fridays.  However, there is a small catch to the discount.  You have to shoot on the spot a 20 second video telling them what you would like to invent and why?  Seems simple enough, so I gave it a shot and got a Php 150 discount for each adult ticket. So instead of paying Php 1650 for the additional tickets, We just paid Php 1350. Not bad, if I may say so myself.

Manila Ocean Park Discount Package

This is the 3rd time We've visited Manila Ocean Park since it formally opened a couple of years ago.  A lot of new attractions have been added aside from a variety of programs and shows where the whole family can watch and enjoy.  Come to think of it, you can actually spend an entire day at Manila Ocean Park if you'd be going to every attraction and watching the different shows, as they are spread at specific showing times throughout the day.  However, since We brought our 2 kids aged  5 and 2 with us , We decide to skip the shows due to their short attention spans.

Mercato Centrale @ Bonifacio Global City

Since my wife and I were at St. Luke's Global City for a doctor's appointment last Saturday, We decided to drop by Mercato Centrale for lunch.  We've heard about Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City from a segment We saw on T.V. Ever the food lover's, We love going out in search of great tasting food with friends, family, and loved-one's. Mercato Centrale was only about two blocks away from St. Luke's Global City. We decided to take a casual walk to Mercato Centrale and arrived there a little past 12 P.M. Since they were open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. last Saturday, We only got to sample a selection of grilled items, organic fruits, and a selection of fruit drinks.  Never-the-less, We had a hearty meal and great conversation.  We'll Definitely go back for more.

Kidzville Party @ The Podium

My kids got invited to an animal costume party at Kidzville located at the 4th flr. of the Podium.   The kids were so excited, as this was the first time they attended a costume party.  Kidzville is actually managed by Cosmic Kidz, the same one located in SM MOA.  If you've ever attended a birthday party at Cosmic Kidz @ SM MOA the set-up and it just happened that the Emcee was the same person who hosted the party We attended about a year ago.  The party area was very spacious, the food was good enough with ample portions, the loot bags were nice, my kids had a great time and you get unlimited playtime in their playmaze and Kids Town with various themes.  Was very tired after the party but had a blast with my kids.  My son wouldn't have won the best costume contest for boys, if We didn't attend.   Thanks a lot for our friends who invited us to attend their son's 1st Birthday Party @ Kidzville.

Sicily, Festival Mall, Alabang

Checked-out this newly opened restaurant at Festival Mall, Alabang called Sicily.  Ever the Pizza and Pasta lover, We decided to sample their menu. The ambiance was simple, yet had a homey feel to it.  The place was painted mostly white with a touch of green accents, which was nice since you could see the cleanliness of the place and could immediately see any dirt that could accumulate on it's immaculate white tables and walls.  The tables and chairs where surprisingly comfortable to sit-on and enjoy your meal with family and friends.
