Today as kids and I are walking the malls and looking at some sports wear…

Destiny  our 13yr old was approached by a lovely lady who wanted Destiny’s opinion on a kids sports top she is buying for her 12yr old daughter who she said has the body structure like Destiny.

So Destiny tried on the top so that the lady can buy the correct size.

But what was so funny was that we spent 45min just standing in the middle of the store having a nice chat and sharing both lives.

She has 1 daughter and lots of nieces and nephews that she spends time with. And she wants us to have days out so that our kids will meet her family and they can be friends.

Now this is a life long friend. It was such a pleasure meeting you Jenneth and looking forward to seeing you on Sunday for family fun day.

A picture below of our new friend.

When you have world travelled kids….one of the things we teach our kids, when we arrive in a new country is to memorize our cell phone numbers.

Also when there is a situation panicking can actually create the opposite of the results you want.

Today kids and I went to the mall…and if you are aware of makati area there are about 12 huge malls in this area all connecting with skywalk.

Now at about 7pm we decided to return home….and walking through the mall with all the crowd…I could not find Destiny (my 13yr old girl). Now as a mother my first action was panic. Then I remembered why am I panicking?  We are travelling the world…she has black belt in martial arts…she has done self defence classes..she is doing mauy thai and she knows my cell phone number. All my fears (False Evidence Apearing Real ) vanished.

So 30 min later the other kids and I started walking home and my phone ring….it’s Destiny she is at home. Since she could not find us she decided to go on and walk home and call once she is home because she knew I will not panic and will trust that she will use the lessons we have thought her.

I was so proud of her and told her how I am such a proud mother.

So don’t panic stay clam and your energy that you send to the universe will determine the outcome.

Here is a picture of her

So today we decided to venture out of our comfort zone of staying around our condo in Makati.

We went to Manila. And it’s pretty much like any central place in a country.

We first walked to the Malaysian Embassy to enquire about me getting a visa for our next country Malaysia.

It was pretty easy and simple and about 12min walk to the embassy from our condo.

So I  got the copy of what is required to get my visa and the visa fee is $6.60 ( that is the cheapest visa I have ever processed).

After, we ended up in Manila and marcus got his first hair cut in phillippines and I also got my hair washed and blow dry and flat iron. We both got a manicure and I also got a pedicure. Marcus also got his first shave in a barbershop. And all that total cost was $32……what!!!! And wow!!! That’s what I said….and that price includes a major tip. Am loving phillippines already…..

Marcus getting a clean shave…not sure what the towel suppose to do…but he loved it.

Time to get shaving….

My first super bright nails….new country, new colors…

Got my hair washed pretty good and blow dry and flat iron…

Our means of transportation…it’s a motor bike on the side…Marcus and MJ on it and the driver….so cool…this small thing can carry all 6 of us…

Am enjoying this city

We think we cool like that….we all about the Base no trouble…

Trying to get a taxi from Manila back to Makati was not easy since the traffic is horrible after work hours…

Over all great adventure today….

Will be riding the Jeepney with the family soon….you wondering what that is? Well then keep an eye on our travel blog.
