Movie night….worse movie ever

Standard

So Hubby and I went to see Magic Mike and to be honest it’s so bad I could not believe how the buzz was so big out here.

So the movie did not have any plot and each scene was so long that it was just boring…

But what hubby and I enjoyed is the fact that we are together and getting to spend quality time together.

Here are some photos here…

Mauy Thai Family

Standard

Today was awesome, my 5yr old has built up excitement ready to do boxing….to him it’s like batman fighting the bad guys….LOL!!!

So today as a family on a journey around earth we started our Mauy Thai and it was different and very hard… ( Mauy thai is basically like boxing but in this case you add your legs to the fight).

So for an hour and 30min  we where just boxing and learning to fight and defend. Pretty cool.

As a mother I was very happy to see my slef being able to do this activity with my kids.

What I personally loved about Mauy Thai is the fact that I can beat up the teacher and he will not beat me back….great way to let out your aggression…LOL!!!

Some great pictures of us getting ready to start our first class.

And the kids loved it so much they are actually looking forward to our next lesson on monday.

Phillippines here we come

Standard

So yesterday I went to the Phillippines embassy here in Bangkok to apply for our phillippines visa.

Now with American and Ghanaian Passport you can enter phillippines without a visa for up to 29 days stay. But since we will be staying for 59days and I did not want to deal with filling our visa forms at the airport and also with language barrier I decided to go on and apply for our whole stay visa while here in Bangkok.

Also when you decide to extend at the airport  it’s $50 but if you apply before entry at least from Bangkok it’s $30… so there you go…I got to save some cash.

Now I have applied for visa’s in a lot of embassies and I tell you what the requirement for the phillippines visa was nothing that you can’t provide…I mean ticket and 1 passport photo and copy of passport picture page.

And I submitted it at 10am which took me about 20min.

My visa was ready for pick up at 2pm the next day….super fast and efficient embassy.

So we are all set for phillippines. Will be staying in Manila around Makati. We are all excited.

12 more days and counting before we head out of Bangkok…

Phillippines I hope you are ready for the Manns clan….

As of now

Brazilian Blow Out

Standard

Wow…what a stretch….

My first brazilian blowout….it’s a 4 hour process and next time I will make sure to have dinner before I get to the salon.

I absolutely loved the passion by my stylist. She checked each strend of my hair to make sure it’s all treated properly.

Now remember I have never done it before so I don’t know what to expect and with language barrier they could not really explain it well to me. But over all its really worth it and am satisfied with the finish product.

Here are some before and after pictures and also my stylist.

image

So that’s my before..which I kind of love sometime…afro style.

image

My after…so smooth and soft and light…love it.

My super duper passionate stylist…
