I don't think I was able to blog about Holiday World last year, but we did go. It was Oct. 24 (US timezone) when we went -- I think. This year we went on Oct. 23! We didn't even know that we went there last year around the same time, until the Facebook "Memories" showed up on our Timelines. I had a video on Youtube on it, and I also uploaded a bunch of pictures on FB which you can view if you click HERE.
Holiday World is located at Santa Claus, Indiana. Yes, the town's name is Santa Claus! The amusement park used to be called "Santa Claus Land" until they've expanded so much, and added more attractions that are in Holiday themes, thus the new name! Cool concept right?

$5 A Bag Book Sale?! What!?
The Owensboro had an event last Saturday. $5 a bag, any size bag, used book sale! Yes, it's real. I thought I was dreaming when I heard about it too. My Mom's friend Katrina sent the ad to me thru MMS, and I'm so glad I had my 4G on at that time -- I normally have it off, unless I just really want to check something on the internet when we don't have wifi.
It was from 9am-3pm, and I there at 2:30pm. Why? Because there were important stuff happening that morning, and then we were out of gas and then *hyperventilates*
ANYWAY, we got there with 30 minutes to make it. I told Kyle, "If I don't get more than 6 books, we're not buying."

Baby Llyr's 1st haircut!
May 3, 2016, Llyr's 19months and he finally gets his first haircut.
The Filipino-style 1st haircut would have been a buzzcut, but Americans do it differently. Noooo, they would not let me. They love baby curls A LOT. Haha. I really wanted Llyr to be like a Shaolin baby, maybe when he's 2 or 3 then.
Anyway he did NOT like getting a haircut. Mind you we went there prepared; snacks, toys, drinks, you name it Lola and I have it.

Welcoming 2016: New Year + My Birthday
Wow. It's 2016 already! It really snuck up on me!
So many things has happened, and suddenly we're jumping to a different year!
My husband and I had a quiet New Yer's Eve (compared to all others who went to parties amd stuff), we stayed home with Mamaw (my mother-in-law's mom) and Llyr. I really didn't want to be away from my baby for New Year's so we opted to stay home. :) It was an awesome day nonetheless.
We went to Sam's Club for diapers and wipes, and then we headed to Walmart for groceries, and let's just say some holiday miracles happened. x)
My husband really got lots of pogi points this time.
He got me my 12 fruits, and bought sparklers, made traditional Filipino candies and desserts, and awesome dinner for New Year's Eve. Oh, he got me a new phone case which looks super awesome!
I'm so glad we got to celebrate with Mamaw too, and she and Llyr played and played, and we told stories and it was like a sleepover! The best part of it is that my family from the Philippines Skyped with us all through out of NYE. Love love love family.
Last day of being 26 well spent. x)
My mom even greeted me before the day ended. xD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then the next day~
I turned 27.
Haha, it was actually a fun and funny day! It's so funny because during Christmas, I was asked what I wanted for my birthday, and I answered 'a surprise birthday party'. And oh my gosh, they threw me one!
My day started ever so norma--wait, maybe not.
Kyle let me sleep in.. hmmm..
Llyr didn't even go to the room to wake me up like usual.. hmmm..
I got to take a loooong shower..
Mom took Llyr early and so I even got extended time for preparation..
I got to spend time on my clothes and make up..
But I thought it's just because we had time, and well, it's my day after all.
Then lots of phone calls arrived for Kyle, not a single one for me. They told us we were to go to church to take the tree down, so .. ok. Then we got there and mom called Kyle in, so I was taking my time and Kyle came back out to get me.
I asked him, 'is this my bday party?' Haha. He said, 'no.' あやし。。x)
We came inside and it was dark and we went to the left instead of the right side, and they said
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'
"I knew it!" I yelled.
Haha, Kyle said I've just always been good at guessing stuff for me xD that's also funny because before I got to open my big present I guessed what it was.
CLICK HERE TO WATCH ME OPEN THE GIFT
I was so excited about the gift, I just had to message my mama right away!
That wasn't the end! Because after my surprise birthday party, Travis (Kyle's uncle), and Cortney (Trav's girl), and Kyle and I had a double date at the Buffalo Wild Wings (as if we weren't full enough from late lunch, haha). I was able to Skype with my mom a bit. B' dubs, as it's called, is popular for the chicken wings, which you can order from mild to HOT. This is a special place for me because it's the very first place we got to eat at when we landed to the US. ^_^
After that, we went to a bookstore called Books-A-Million, where we got a huge discount for our haul!! Kyle has a new game, I have 3 new books, and Llyr has 4 new books!
It doesn't even end there!! I got to fly my birthday lantern!!
It was the coolest way to end a super awestatic birthday! Yes, I made up a word! Because there is no other way to describe my day!
Things may try to bring us down, but I'm not going to take it.
I'm27 and I think I'm starting it right.

Happy 8 Months Baby Kristofer Llyr
It's so fast!
Whenever I played Sims 3 (a lot) I was always so bored at the unmoving potato on the crib until it magically transforms into a toddler! Holy gosh that escalated quickly!

Last Day of the Year
This year has been awesome and very emotional for me. I got married before Christmas last year and the later part of 2014 went by so quick!
OMG. 2014:
My 1st Christmas with husband
My 1st bday with my husband
My 1st trip to Ilocos
Discovered I was pregnant
My 1st overseas trip
Got yellow card and philhealth
Got a new passport
Found out my baby's going to be boy
Got a 3D ultrasound
Became 61kg. OMG. I've always been 45kg.
Had baby Kristofer Llyr!
We had great times, but I've been very hormonal. Veeeeery. I've had a lot of sleepless nights and it's most probably not ending with this year. But that's ok because I have a beautiful baby boy who's growing quite well. ♥
Without a doubt I can say to myself I had a good year. (๑・ิ-・ิ๑)
This is me and him failing at a selfie.

Baby Kristofer Llyr's 15th Day!
I could not really blog, play games, read manga, go on tumblr, and facebook since Llyr has been born. It's not bad, but I just feel like this blog post is overly late.
I'm plastered to my baby as he is to me so, I decided to look for another blog app, and tested it yesterday actually.
Llyr was born September 15, 2014. He was 3.25kg and 53cm. He's quite long, so he looks a bit skinny compared to Filipino babies with the same weight.
He eats and sleeps a lot. He's quite nocturnal though.
Look at that angry face.
And that big yawn.
I completely adore him.
(*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡
