Riyan's Blog

As a growing kid, I rarely have time to blog anymore. There are so many things happenings right now with my life, our family's life and all.

Stay tune for some changes on this blog!

Aside from all those adventures and misadventures....I've had the longest road trip of my life...can you imagine hanging out with your papa and mama inside your car for 10 long hours of travel to the north?....I did!..Our destination....Ilocos region!

It was a looong hot trip...so when we reached Fort Ilocandia, I badly needed to take a dip...!

Till next time!

Whoa! It's been a long time since the last post. I think it's time for an update. Sorry, mga tito's and tita's I've been, or rather my papa arnold has been soooo busy with blogging lately that he can't find the time to update this blog anymore (How I wish I'm old enough to make my own post, but don't worry, that time will come in a few years from now!).

Anyway, here's what I've been doing the past couple of months...

On Saturdays, it's either I'm attending badminton clinics under the tutelage of tito Lloyd Escoses (I wish!)....


Attending a Baptismal celebration....



Attending Birthday parties....


Fooling around with Jolibee....


Hanging out at the Manila Ocean Park....


Chillin' out in Fontana Water Park


to be continued.....

It's only February and we already had our second road trip for the year. This around, we drove (actually Papa was the only one who did this, as he was the designated driver) 3 long hours all the way from our house in Antipolo to Calatagan Batangas. Our destination this time was Ricky Reyes' Golden Sunset paradise resort!

Last Sunday, my parents woke me up again as early as 4:00 am, hmm actually I was the one woke them up not knowing that they are planning to embark on yet again another road trip. We left our place at around 6 am and drove for an hour to Tagaytay City. We stopped by our favorite place in Bag of Beans for a very nice breakfast.

After that, we proceeded towards the direction of Nasugbu. We passed by the road the leads to Calaruega church and head straight towards the direction of Catalagan. It was a good long two hours drive before we reached Golden Sunset Resort.

We reached the resort at around 10:30 am. The sun was already up and about. And so we quickly dive into the pool to freshen up. Mama and Papa both enjoyed watching me have fun in the pool.

I really wanted to stay longer in the pool but mama was worried that I might lose my fair skin complexion so we had to get out of the pool, just in time for LUNCH!




Lunch was at Golden Sunset Resort's Cucina de Oro, a small place submerged on water with a nice view of the Beach.









After lunch, we rested for a bit at a nearby shack with a refreshing breeze of cool fresh air and a magnificent view of fishpond.







Then it was time to go home. We dropped by our usual pit stop somewhere along SLEX to have a dose of Starbucks coffee and some chocolate goodies.

Twas another road trip. It was tiring and yet oh so fun!

Summer came early for us. Last week, Papa booked a cottage in Balai-Laiya in San Juan Batangas. It was a pretty place and the cottage where we stayed for overnight was a few steps away from the beach. And that day, papa introduced me to swimming on salt water! At first I was afraid, but I knew nothing could happen to me when my papa and mama were around so, after a few moments, I actually find swimming on the beach, well -- FUN!



I had so much fun that I didn't want to leave the water anymore. I feel like, I was......like Little Melody! (Ariel and Prince Eric's little darling!)














I'm looking forward to our next Beach adventure! I want to swim and sing like the little mermaid again....!
