Dubai Garden Glow

There is a child inside each one of us!

sweet treats, colors, lights, fun time... we love the things that keep on bringing the kids within us.

I've been seeing this place almost all the time; but I don't get a chance to visit it, not until this week. I was super excited and I did not expect that It'll be fun after all. I considered it as our post-anniversary celebration. We didn't plan on anything for this year's anniversary; we just spent our day the usual and decided to take dinner outside after work. So when I asked him (days after) if we can visit this place, he said yes right away.

We left noon time and get a chance to stroll at the mall for a bit; had lunch and waited til' 5:00 pm... then off we went to the Garden Glow.

This place truly is a wonderland for kids!

It's not just your typical garden that glows -- you'll be surprise on how they recreate Steven Spielberg's famous park too. 

The Dinosaur Park

 We had so much fun exploring the place. It's fun and educational at the same time.

This is definitely a great place for families and kids. 

Attractions:

Ice Park

Dinosaur Park

The Glow Park

Magical Nights

Colorful World
Happiness Street

My Dubai

Sea World

Happy Forest

How to get here?

Address: Zabeel Park Gate 6 & 7، Zabeel Area - Dubai

Timing: 4:00 PM–12:00 AM

Ticket: 60 AED (around 700-800 Php) and children under 3 years old are free

We took the train from Union Metro Station going to Dubai World Trade Center (Red Line: 15-20 minutes) (5th station from Union Metro) and from there, we took a taxi going to the park (it will cost you around 12-15 AED) and reached the area within 4-5 minutes. If you're a tourist, you can walk and explore the area nearby and it will only take you 26 minutes or so to get there.

There's also another way; from the same start point, you'll get off the 4th station, Al Jifiliya; then you can ride a cab/taxi or walk from there.  Walking will take you 47 minutes, though and around 9 minutes by cab.

You can always research before going; to know other ways to get there. And sometimes, it's fun to get lost hehe

To know more of what they offer, you can check their website at http://www.dubaigardenglow.com/index.php.

We took photos and videos to capture these moments. And if you want to check it out, just head over to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQCG2zGX-4Y&t=40s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FF86JlAeE4. 

 epic fail? haha I'm supposed to be the "i" 

kaso bilugan daw ako kaya -- i ♥ DubaO daw yan hahaha

It doesn't matter how young and old we are; as long as we enjoy every moment and adventure!

My Love... My Langga ♥

My sister and I went to an orphanage yesterday. We woke up around 5 in the morning and we arrive at the place at exactly 30 minutes past 6. We stayed there until 11 and went to Makati Med for her medical examination. We never thought that we'd stay longer at the orphan. So the kiddo was left at home with his dad. The thing is, Dear needs to go to work after lunch. I don't know if I forgot to tell you or what but I don't have a nanny for him. Urrghh!!! He has before but when he left to stay with my parents at the province, my parents took the responsibility of taking care of him. I guess they've miss having a kiddo around.

I told Dear that if come 1:30pm and we still haven't arrive yet, he should bring him to the office and left him at the clinic with the nurse instead, then I'll fetch him up once we're in Alabang already.

Sayang the outfit of the baby! Kasi after nun, we decided na to go home! Eh he thought talaga na gagala siya for the day. Sabe niya mag SM daw kami hehe E my sister and I are super sleepy na kasi.. Ang aga-aga ba naman naming gumising, sino hindi aantukin nun. Kaso naawa talaga ko sa kanya and isa pa pala... Nasira yong strap ng slippers ko haha Kaya one reason din yun kung bakit atat na ko umuwi. Pag bibili nanaman kasi ako, mapapagalitan nanaman ako! lage na lang kasi ako ganun. Pag di feel yong sinusuot at pagoda na, bibili talaga ako ng tsinelas.

Ang taray ah! Tiniis ko talaga ang sira kong slippers lol

While we're on our way home na, naawa naman ako sa kanya! So right after kung magsend ng pera sa Cebuana (which is for my order and will blog on that seperately once nareceive ko na ang package), I told my sister na mauna na siya sa house and mag SM muna kami ng bata. Ayown, napabili nanaman tuloy ako ng slippers ╯▂╰

I let him play muna and enjoy na enjoy nanaman siya! And kamusta naman ah. He's just 3 pero bilib sa kanya yong mga tao kasi sobrang galing magdrive. Take note hindi yan de remote ah. Ang bad ko lang kasi hindi ko nivideo. Napapangiti yong mga dumadaan and ung isang father din na nandun. Yong anak niya kasi natatakot. Nakakatuwa naman talaga ang batang to!

After niya maglaro, niyaya ko siya sa National bookstore and here's what we bought O(∩_∩)O

Kahit sobrang pagod... sulit naman pag nakikita mo yong tuwa at saya ng bata "*_*"

Happy Sunday ~＠^_^＠~

Paa... tuhod... balikat... ulo...
Paa... tuhod... balikat... ulo...
Paa... tuhod... balikat... ulo...
Pumadyak kayo at magpalakpakan ↖(^ω^)↗

Napakanta kayo noh? Hehe

Magandang morning everyone! Ako is gising matanda na. Hehe
Imagine?! I woke up at 5:00am (⊙o⊙) went to the wet market and bought fish and clams for my langga's lunch! Alam mo naman my kiddo... seafood and gulay lover! How lucky mommy is (^ム^) ang hirap kaya pakainin ng mga bata. Etong akin... is always requesting for gulay and fish! Pag andito si daddy dear.. chicken and fish naman. Doble-doble ulam hehe

Here's what we have muna for breakfast.

Egg, garlic longganisa, suman, & hot pandesal ♡

I only eat the eggs and pandesal... -_-!

Pahinga konte then katulong mode naman.. RD eh haha

Anyways... si ate sa store iba pagkakadinig sa bibilhin ko... I told her 1 dozen of egg... ang binigay sa akin... isang buong tray ng itlog... kamusta naman... ok lang... mapurga sa itlog ang tao sa bahay hahaha

Here's a great facts about eggs ⊙﹏⊙


Eggs Are Loaded with Nutrients

Eggs have lots of vitamins. They are rich in the B vitamin family, and also contribute vitamins A and D. In particular, egg yolks are one of the greatest sources of riboflavin, B12, and choline, which may well not only help developing brains in utero, but protect us from age-related memory loss.

Oh diba? Keri na din na madami itlog sa bahay... ng hindi nila makalimutan na masarap ako talaga magluto chosss haha

Dears... what do you have for breakfast today?

ThursDate ヽ(^。^)ノ

We had dinner last night with MinaDear at Burgoo… CathyDear is supposed to be with us last night but she wasn’t able to make it. Actually, it’s my first time at Burgoo and good thing our Little-Big-Boy was with us for dinner. The place is nice and so kid-friendly. They have this white paper covering the table and crayons. Kids and even adults can rough out anything on that white paper. My kid was handed a coloring paper with animal prints in it. I really find it nice. He doesn’t even want me to bother him. He said “I’m busy… LEter” (??? Leter? Bisaya man ay… he meant ‘Later’) hahaha

Here’s the place… ★★★☆☆

and

We ordered...

Thank you Tita Mina for the gifts ♥

Since my sister was not able to come, we just brought this home to her...

Mommies out there? How was your family dinner last night? Nagluto ba kayo or went out for dinner din?

Bonding ♥ Time

Bonding ♥ Time


As I’ve said last time, I will take time to shop or buy stuffs from the 3-day SALE of SM Southmall. I told myself I’m not going to fail if I get the chance to drop by the mall again. Oh well… I did fail still… Worst part is I didn’t go there. Haha O_o I woke up around 7:30 in the morning and ginising ko silang lahat. I cooked breakfast first and served them corned beef with potato, scrambled egg with onion, garlic and tomato, bread, cheez wiz and peanut butter. Para hindi muna magutom hehe kasi I told them, we have to go to the mall. I have to spend my weekend malling with them as I only have a day off for the week.

My Dear has to pay bills pa naman so we decided to go to ATC (Alabang Town Center). Unionbank there is open Monday thru Sunday. Kaso the malas thing is, we forgot March 1st is Muntinlupa day, so no work talaga. T_T buti na lang before we leave I ask Dear to make sure with the guards there na open ang bank by Sunday para maka-pay na din.

Ayun, hindi nanaman kami nakapagSM. After that nag BDO muna siya then me and the kid went to Timezone kasi nagpupumilit si Little-Big-Boy ko na mag-rides daw.

We ate lunch at Amici restaurant. They have this “Graduation Day” promo and we order their good for 4 meal. It’s around 969 Php. We were supposed to buy our old time fave pasta but we opt for their promo since 2 pasta dish na ang kasama plus pitcher of iced tea, veggies w/ sausage, and a whole pizza. We just ordered the dessert separately na lang. Sad part is, hindi nag enjoy ang baby, pero madami naman nakain niya sa ice cream cake na inorder namin. We also love their Gelato. He’s mahilig din kasi sa ice cream. Oh well, ang bagets gusto kasi mag timezone daw muna kami tapos sa Jollibee siya kakain haha

Here's the food ♥

Salsicce Italiana (Homemade recipe Italian sausage served with marinated veggies)

Spaghetti Aglio Olio E Pepperonicino (Midly spicy pasta dish in rich garlic and olive oil sauce with anchovies)

Margherita (Mozzarella cheese and fresh basil)

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara (Spaghetti pasta tossed in creamy white sauce with parmesan cheese and bacon bits)

Not bad at all. The food tastes good and ok naman yong place. There are Amici kasi na mas maganda ang place compared to the one they have in ATC.

Oh Well... Nag Jollibee nga siya after namin mamili sa Festival  hehe
Kids Fave ♥

After that, Dear has to go to work na and nagpaalam naman ako sa kanya na we’ll go to Festival Mall na lang after kasi I have to buy stuffs there. On our way out, yong mag-daddy, dadaan daw sa Collezione boutique muna (http://www.collezione-c2.com/) and si Little-Big-Boy ko gustong gusto yong daddy-baby polo na nasa mannequin. Isa daw sa kanya and the other one for his dad. He was so like O_O amaze na amaze sa damit at tumabi pa sa mannequin para magpapicture daw. I told them both to look for a pair. Since last Feb. is my dear’s birthday, I told him to buy na now para same sila ng kid. Gift ko sa kanya haha Iba kasi dapat bibilhin ko sa kanya hehe

On a totally different topic...
Talo ako sa gift ni Mina kay Dear...

Thank you Mina Dear ♥

Here’s what they got at Collezione…

For dinner, I just cooked Chicken Adobo in Mama Sita's Coconut Vinegar with Potato and Ripe Mango ♥♥♥
(I'll blog about it too and show you how I made it)

Pagdating sa house... Gutom pa din ang bagets! mag ice cream daw siya and mangga haha

I wasn’t able to shop at SM but the stuffs I got from Festival mall is super LIKE naman ♥
I’ll blog that one separately ^_^||


Mga Dear, spend as much time with your family during your rest days especially if you’re like a super busy mom that has to go to work 5 to 6 days a week. The kid/s will enjoy it a lot ♥ Minsan lang sila maging bata. Get the chance to bond with them while you still have time.

XOXO
