Good morning everyone!
Apart from that malicious grocery bill that I had, I have not blogged that much yet.
Pasensya na mga bakla.
Jetlag sucks.
When I get home, I’m so sleepy that it’s really a struggle to be awake, eat dinner and wash for bed.
I can’t blog during the day because of work. I have 500 plus emails to check and tons of work to finish. Three weeks ang binabawi ko na trabaho kasi.
Nakakaloka.
Anyway, I hope y’all bear with me because I wanna tell you all about our Ontario vacation!
I’ll pick it up from our anniversary day.
Last September 19, we were in Niagara. Alvin and I just had our mandatory picture taking with the Niagara Falls behind us. Kailangan ma-document na nasa Niagara kami on our 7th wedding anniversary!
This is one of the most memorable anniversary getaway that we have.
In the morning, we went to Tim Hortons to have breakfast. It was sunny and warm outside so I was able to wear a dress. Here’s my outfit of the day that day.
Dress: SEEK THE UNIQ; Sneakers: KEDS; Bag: LONGCHAMP; Sunglasses: RAYBAN
Eto naman ang kay bagets.
Top: MANGO KIDS; Leggings: H&M KIDS; Rubber shoes: NIKE; Sunglasses: Dickies
It was super duper warm so I changed into a more presko attire.
Dress: MANGO; Sneakers: KEDS
Napaka-init mga bakla. I got a tan from walking around. It was hot but it wasn’t humid. Mas okay maglakad lakad in this weather compared pagmainit sa Manila.
When you are in Niagara, you HAVE to go on a boat tour of the falls. We took the Hornblower Niagara Boat Cruise. The ticket sells at $19.95 each for adults and $12.25 for kids 5 to 12 years old. Kids under 4 years old are free. If you convert to Philippine Peso, the adult tickets cost around Php 700 while the kids tickets are around Php 400. Anika looked like 4 years old so she went in for free.
The ticket prices were not that bad compared to the experience on the water cruise. For 20 minutes, they will really take you around the three falls (American, Bridal Veil and Canadian Horseshoe Falls). Lalapit kayo. You will get wet because of the mist but they will give you these plastic raincoats to wear. Hindi na kayo mababasa. Ingatan niyo lang ang mga kilay niyo kasi may tendency na mabura.
It was super nice!
Si Anika hindi natuwa. She was crying the whole time because she was scared. Akala daw niya kasi aakyat dun sa falls then ibabaksak! Kaloka. Maybe she will get to enjoy the ride when she’s a bit older.
The Niagara Falls is a sight to behold talaga.
There was this park in front where we stayed and made tambay. Anika and her cousins played there.
After the boat cruise, we went to Niagara-On-The-Lake.
From Wikipedia:
Niagara-on-the-Lake is a Canadian town in Southern Ontario where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario in the Niagara Region of the southern part of the province of Ontario. It is across the Niagara River from Youngstown, New York, US. It is the only town in Canada that has a Lord Mayor.
On the way, we passed by this pretty giant flower clock.
The Niagara-on-the-Lake is a beautiful town. Ang old school. Alvin and I wanted to spend the night there to immerse ourselves in their culture. Gusto namin to have time to go around, tumambay and to experience what it’s like living there. There are plenty of hotels and bed and breakfasts. Hindi na namin napush because the travel time is one hour from Mississauga by car. Nahihiya kami magpahatid sundo. If wala kasing car, pwede naman to take the bus. Yun lang, we have to carry our suitcase papunta sa hotel. Wala namang commute dun.
So, we just went around the main street for a couple of minutes.
When we got back, we dropped Anika at Alvin’s relatives’ house so we can prepare for a date.
Yesssss!!! Finalehhhhh!
Bihira ako i-date ng asawa ko pero I was very happy he took me out on an anniversary dinner date in Ontario!! Here’s what I wore:
Top: ZARA; Pants: MANGO; Shoes: NINE WEST
Actually, I bought that top from Zara nung May pa. Sabi ko I will buy it so I can wear it when the time finally comes na ayain ako ni Alvin magdate. Wag lang kako sana ma-aya niya ako eh laos na ang off-shoulders na top sa world na ito. Lol! Hindi ko naman akalain na dun pa pala kami sa Canada magkakaron ng chance makapag-date night!
“Worth the wait!”, sabi ng top ko.
Hahahahaha!
We had dinner at Snug Harbor in Mississauga. This restaurant is beside a lake.
We chose a table outside, just beside the lake. It was romantic. I love that the weather cooperated with my off-shouldered top. Hindi ako nagkaroon ng pneumonia at hindi din ako nangisay sa lamig.
We had chicken and steak. Alvin had beer while I had wine.
It was a perfect ending to a perfect wedding anniversary day!
