An Enjoyable Treat or Treat Experience at Nuvali

Trick or treating is an event my little boy always look forward to. Weeks before, we have to discuss what he will wear on that grand day. In the past years, he always opted for some cutie cartoon character costume like that of Mickey Mouse, Spiderman, the Pirate, or Iron Man. This time, he told me he wanted to try being scary, a kid vampire. And since we are on a budget, luckily I chanced upon a vampire cape at a thrift shop for P20.00 only (yeah! it was a great deal). For his tops, a Gap black long sleeve shirt with was a gift from my friend in Brunei. And for his pants, a hand-me down dark colored jogging pants. Anyway, I think it came out fine.

I had an invite from Saddleback Church Manila located in Nuvali Sta. Rosa (Laguna) for their halloween event. Going to Nuvali, we took a van ride at SM Calamba Transport terminal. Before going there, Ivan did some store hopping to collect some treats.

Since it was still early when we arrived at Nuvali, again some store rounds. There were also craft sessions for kids, free twisted balloons and lots and lots of candy treats. Krispy Kreme gave out free doughnut, Ivan liked it and munched it immediately, ha!ha!

Ok, so after all the treating, we headed to Monochrome Nuvali for Blocktober, its a halloween party organized by Saddleback Church Manila. Registration for the event only costs P100.00 (good for 2 persons). Upon signing-up you will be given a passport which is the ticket to avail of the various games, rides and amenities plus a raffle.

My little boy was so amazed with this event and he just wanted to try all the games and rides especially the inflatable slides where he kept on coming back. He also braved the wall climb but midway he stopped. When he got down, I asked him "why did you stop? he replied mommy I am afraid of heights". So funny, I remembered it was a dialogue from Planes movie. They also gave out loot bag containing candies and toy prizes. Best of all was the magic and puppet show by no less than Kuya Ruther Urquia, a grand finalist of Pilipinas Got Talent (a local talent search contest).

It was near dusk when we headed back home. We had a long and truly enjoyable day. I am just so fulfilled when I made my little boy Ivan happy.

Treats for a Day

Yesterday, I went out with my little boy Ivan to attend a Trick or Treat activity.  Initially, we planned to join the activity at SM City Calamba but knowing there are lots of other kids who will be joining there we end up joining the activities at Waltermart Calamba where it is less chaotic since there are lesser kids attending.

To be able to join the Waltermart Trick or Treat Activity, a P500 worth of purchase from the supermarket or from any of its tenant is necessary to secure a registration.  So, I just decided to purchase a Bonakid 1.6kg pack worth P680.00.

But I got really surprised because with my purchase came along lots of freebies.

The milk pack I bought comes with a FREE raincoat.  

 Actually I bought one of this pack before, the one with FREE shirt.

Next freebie I got is a cinema pass.  According to the sales staff, every purchase of participating Wyeth products entitles a customer to this cinema pass which is valid until December 23, 2011 at Waltermart Cinema.

 Next freebie is an Aqiva powdered milk drink (400g) worth P379.00.

Lastly, Ivan was able to join the trick or treat activity.  All kids were given a WM lootbacg containing candies and some small toys.  They were also given a list of participating stores to visit wherein more treats await them.  Ivan's pumpkin bag was then overflowing with the loots he got.
