My little girl kind of took over my phone because of this new game that she recently learned to love, Flower Garden by Snappy Touch. The thing that I like with this game is that it teaches her to be patient because the flowers need to grow at their own time. She has to water them and that in itself can be a task too because there is such a thing as drying out and over watering the plant.

This is her newest plant, the Orange Bell, and this is also the last plant in all the available seeds. Because of her loyalty and dedication to planting the flowers, she gained enough credits to buy all of the seeds and additional pots.

Now that she’s in the expert stages of planting, the flowers take longer to grow, about a week plus a couple of days without the use of fertilizers. This actually made her “let go” of my phone more often so I was able to re-discover my love for Jack Johnson. But lo and behold, the little girl liked my tunes too and is taking ownership of my phone again. Although I love seeing her dance to the beat, I think it’s about time for an ipod shuffle for the little lady, don’t you think?
Last Sunday, we went on a trip to Matuod in Lian, Batangas. We were very excited about this trip so we left home early at around 5:30 am and hope that we’ll get there by 8am. If we arrive on time, it will leave about an hour and a half window for my little girl to swim on the beach and play in the sand.

We decided to be online by subscribing to a daily plan from our mobile carrier to try and get as much help from our online maps. Hubby is using an android and I was using an iPhone so between the two, we were pretty sure we’d get more details out of them.

More details came into view while we were moving but the shot above gave us an idea to which general route to take. To make the long story short, we made it to our destination by 7:30am, thanks to our maps and to a couple of phone calls to my uncle. I’m really glad we took this trip. Seeing the view is simply breathtaking.

Since this trip seems to be a yearly thing, maybe next year we can even use some online roadside assistance too. I’m pretty sure it’s available in some countries too so hopefully we’re up before our next trip comes.
