Overload

December went by so fast. I know ...I know... everybody has heard that LAME excuse a gazillion times now. But seriously. It did. It caught up on me. There were plans/goals I wasn't able to achieve. Sucks. Good thing I did not mention it to anyone. Even to Le mister or to Le ninjas --- a little secret --- sometimes, when I wanna do something and I really am planning to do it and I can't keep it to meself --- I tell it to Tryst -- my 5 year old kiddo , and he'd be like OK...so when are you going to do it? can I help you? Lol. My little secret keeper.

Flashback first day of December I decided to take a photo a day... I think I've achieved it! I've missed a couple of days...OK. FINE. Make that uhhhh... 3? Anywaaaaay...without further ado, here's December 2012 photos for you.

Lagare.

October 27,2012 --- I know. I'm so bad at keeping track but let me just share what happened on this day and I can't even believe how I managed to enjoy every minute of it!

Saturday was considered as a Friday shift --- mine was from 4:00am to 1:00pm, did my usual routine --monitoring calls, catching up with emails etc. Saturday usually isn't that busy and tiring since it's the last shift for the week. My officemates we're planning to hit karaoke, I passed because I was on to some mommy duties that afternoon.

pretty ladies at work

Ailes and Ana -- we somehow make things 'bearable' for each other.

So after work --- I head straight to Mega Mall for Cartoon Network's Heroes Hunt. My sister in law told me about the event -- she was the one who bought the head pieces for Finn and Jake. The Ninjas went as Finn and Jake, along with their pretty cousin, Destiny who dressed up as  Princess Bubblegum.

we saw Spongebob while checking out some toys at Toy Kingdom right after the event

Kuya Tx found a shoe!

First booth  

So we entered this maze and we're suppose to pass each booth to get prizes from the sponsors.

We had so much fun at the event. We met some familiar Ben 10 aliens and other kids that're dressed up as Adventure Time characters, there was even a Marceline! -- I was jealous. We weren't able to visit every booth only because some of them ran out of prizes and there were way too many kids and parents. I can really say that some parents were far more excited than their kiddos --- which was kind of cool.  Almost three hours later, the Ninjas were ready to go home.

And you think that was it. Lucky for me, I have the coolest set of in laws ever! specially my mother in law -- she knows how we love to hang out and eat and drink beer together so she treated us to an Octoberfest event at a hotel where they usually spend their weekends at. So we checked in. Had dinner. Hang out for a bit with the kiddos and watched some horror films -- Kuya TX cried a LOT ...and Trey was like just cool. I fell asleep for like 15 or 20 minutes beside kuya TX. Le husband woke me up and said that we're heading to the event. I freshened up a bit --- was too tired to put on some make up --- wore a maroon dress versus a scarf --- hair down and I was set.

passes 

And below are just some Photobooth fun --- yep! can't leave an event without it!

We finished at around 4:00am. Kuya TX woke up around 6:00am because he wanted to swim so I got up and took him and Ate Des for a quick swim at the pool. We played a little at the playground. Went back to our hotel room -- Trey and his Papa are still sleeping. We head to Koi Restaurant for their breakfast buffet. Head back to the room and chill for a bit with the rest.

Finally ... went home.
Le mister went out to skate.
Spent the rest of the Sunday afternoon on our cozy bed cuddling with my Ninjas.
What a weekend.
Right...the title? Lagare --- that was the 'word of the day' for me and that's exactly what I did that Saturday. Lagare, it's a Tagalog term as an adjective, it is synonymous to "having a hectic schedule" or "being busy". 
One should never be too busy specially if it's for their family , definitely family.
