Easter Egg Hunting Fail!

Last Easter Sunday, we went to Sofitel to join the Easter activity! It's our first time to join any activity. I was excited for Y!

Picture-picture muna before leaving! Pwede na ba ang pose?! Haha

The Easter Egg Hunt event was held at the tent outside the South Parking. The ticket says event starts at 10:30AM, we got there around 11AM. There was so many people! The lines to the reception booth was messy, by age pala.

O diba? Ang gulo?!

When we got inside, ang dami na din tao! Jampacked! There were no seats na. So we went around to see kung ano meron. There were booths from the sponsors, a mini Gymboree play gym, a stage, movies being shown....

Seeing how many people there was makes me want to go home na. I hate crowds right now. But this is for Y so we stayed for awhile pa. They eventually added more chairs to accommodate the crowd, and we got to sit! We ate what's inside of the loot bags hehe... And I was getting bored by the minute. I think Y was din..

When it was time for the egg hunt proper na, Y wasn't allowed pala! Hay naku. Fail talaga! Buti na lang kids lang ang may bayad! So we decided to leave na lang. Last picture with the egg before leaving!

We went to Gymboree na lang. I've been wanting to enroll Y in one of the classes! So it was perfect timing because they were having a promo! Mas nag enjoy pa si Y dito! First love nga niya si Gymbo diba?!

Hindi pa naman din totally fail. We'll go a trial class next week! Hope Y will like it!

Where To Go For Easter?

We are staying at home for the Holy Week. My parents, amma, and shoti are going out of the country so it's just gonna be us at home.

Last year April, Y was just 8 months old, we can't take her Easter egg hunting because she's still a baby and she can't walk yet. Well, this year, we are taking her! Yay! Mommy is excited! I started to look around for possible place to go Easter egg hunting that is near and accessible to where we live, which is in Manila.

So here are the options: (We already chose where we are going!)
