<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's a totally different group age. Mid-30s. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That sounds so old. Adults and kids around me would think that I know a lot and that I am absolutely sure what I'm doing with my life. Ha, they would be so wrong! I became the master of winging it! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That age has been on my mind for the past year that I think I overindulge myself and lived as if this is my last year on earth.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />I got a very good office with a dedicated parking space. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />I went “To The Top”, the tallest building in the world. I did enjoy the high speed elevator going all the way up to 124th floor. Woman on top – literally.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to Ski Dubai. Snow world in the middle of the desert. What man can do given the resources amazes me.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have visited a very good friend in a foreign country and talked for hours.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First time, I rode an elephant for almost thirty minutes going from land to swamp.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have stayed with my mother for six beautiful months in one house and didn't experience any drama. Drama between two of us, at least.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have witnessed the biggest bonfire in Doha for a Christmas event in sand dunes. It was a really magical moment – Aladdin style but Christmassy.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have toured Europe with my family (three kids! Three kids! Three kids! ) explored France, Monaco, Italy, Vatican City, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. That’s eight countries in less than two months with family. Supreme bliss. <br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have set a travel goal for the family. 100 countries to explore before our eldest turn 18. <br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have traveled to my dream cities - Paris and Venice after years of imagination and lack of planning. I liked the engineering aspect of Eiffel Tower, yes it is amazing but the city, for me, is below my expectations. I found Venice romantic and unique but any body of water does not make me as happy as when I see mountain views, tall buildings or fancy hotels. Sometimes, we have to achieve our dreams to realize that our dreams are not what we were really looking for. <br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I experienced Disneyland. Enjoyed it, hated it, got tired of it and enjoyed it! Comes the realization that there are other places in the world way less commercialized than Disneyland. And way better for kids! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stayed in a five star cave hotel and explored Cappadocia with family. Majestic views of naughty rocks – nature and its kinky works!<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I rode the hot air balloon for the first time. <br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I rode the hot air ballon for the first time with family!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I became a mom of seven-year old girl. That's something! I survived the first seven years of being a mom - YAY for me! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My seven-year old girl and I went to a trip in Belgium together and enjoyed every minute of it - full of adventure and zero of drama!<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have started homeschooling my three adorable kids. No more overpriced tuition, no more school run, no more complaining to teachers about bullies. We could focus now on nurturing my kids’ gift in our own unique way.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With my husband’s commitment and dedication, we have started launching our family business. It is going to be lots of hard work – but a single step is the start of a journey.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have experienced death in the family. It still hurts a lot – but I have come to terms of accepting that our life here on earth is way too short to indulge the feelings of pain and loss. Life is too short. I have learned all over that time with family members is way more important than petty quarrels. <br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am proud of my beliefs without caring what society thinks. I have high opinion of religion, education and discrimination. It feels good to think for myself and not be “molded.”<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have loved to become a mother, poo and all. But I have also loved the fact that I’m done being hypocritical about it. Being a parent is not all good – there are times that I want to strap my kids to the wall and dose them with cough syrup or sleeping pills so I could rest. (So far, I haven’t done that!)<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoy being a witness of seeing my brothers and sisters grow up and contribute to society. My little sister got herself a new car, my little brother travelled to Southeast Asian countries and my littlest sister paid for a hotel buffet for all of us. I am a very proud big sister.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am well respected in my field at work. I have received the biggest salary increase in my career life.. so far.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am comfortable with my body. I have accepted that my breasts are not as firma s they used to be and that my bottom is not one of my strong asset.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My house is always messy. I do not need to pretend to my husband. If he can’t find a pair of socks, he looks for it (hell no, not me!) and if he can’t find it, he’s okay with wearing mismatched socks or torn shorts or un-ironed shirt.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I am very glad that my mother-in-law can’t read this.<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have started not shouting anyone for whatever reasons. I have no grudge nor hang ups. I made peace with all the people around me. Well, except a number of ex-boyfriends who still can’t add me as their Facebook friends. (Can't blame them!)<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I get on average 30-50 “Likes” to my Facebook posts because I always publish something positive. No drama. But most of the time, my cute kids photos and milestones – it’s an addiction. Who will not like that?<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am actively in contact with my real friends. I can count them in my ten fingers, but who needs loads of friends when I have the real ones?<br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I laughed out loud a lot until I pee it’s embarrassing.</span><br />

<br />
HELLO, BLOG! Yes, it has been a while.<br />
<br />
<br />
And Happy New Year! WOOO! Turknoys have been so busy and writing just can't keep up with us.<br />
<br />
Life is way too beautiful and now we are sitting back for a while trying to re-collect things and appreciate all the events that had happened the past year.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/2011/01/year-that-was.html" target="_blank">The Year That Was 2010</a> brought back very good memories and reminded our family how we were - the things we thought were a big deal before may not be as big as we think of these things now. Funny thing is we realize how we grew up when we look up.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/2012/02/year-that-was-2011.html" target="_blank">The Year That Was 2011</a> is a Turkey year as we visited the country four times, got pregnant with our dear bunso there! The great year ender is a big YAY (we look at this now) - as The Turk got let go at his job. What happened next are ALL ALL good!<br />
<br />
So here are the details of what happened last 2012 and it's all about EGGS and POO!<br />
<br />
With one of us unemployed and we are pregnant with our third,<b> January</b> is the month we learned that EGGS are fragile and we need to save lots of eggs in different baskets! We started investing and it has been a roller coaster ride - we didn't know what will happen, we get scared and we get elated. We got hooked and we love every minute of it.<br />
<br />
<b>February</b> is fun, although we keep on insisting to find a job for the husband even though it was quite clear that we need to do something different.<br />
<br />
<b>March</b> is great, too. More job hunting, more rejections but other investment is keeping us up to our toes.<br />
<br />
<b>April</b> is GREAT! We welcomed Kayra Demirkol, a beautiful bouncing baby girl to our family. Grandmother got back to Doha to help us with our youngest Tita Minay to find job. She is the last one to graduate in my family so there goes the responsibility for the eldest. The day she graduated, the day I shout - Freedom! And I happily pass the buck to the them. Bow.<br />
<br />
April is also the month we realized that real friends are important and that it made us realize that just because we "fit in" our existing environment, it doesn't mean that we have real friends. Well, it is difficult for us as both The Turk and I are anti-social and have few real friends growing up, not to mention we do not conform to some traditional thinking. I think this is the month we decided that we will let it be. We'll embrace US - the way we want US to be. (Yes, deep - but it played a very important part in how we live at the moment!)<br />
<br />
Husband found another job <b>May</b>. Right at the moment, we got hired, we knew that it will only be a temporary thing - we just wanted to feel "normal" at the moment. Another thing we were able to change last year - we are now comfortable of being a non-conformity.<br />
<br />
He was only employed up to February of this year. And he quit that time. Big applaud to him, please.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>June</b> is a start of another investment. We moved in from a two-bedroom flat to a 5-bedroom villa with a big garden and parking space. It's AWESOME. We finally started to work smart and not work too hard. Thanks be to God and we pray hard that we will be able to sustain this.<br />
<br />
And Kylie got the top of the class award in Year 1 - unofficially. Not that it matters - we also have high opinion of how it is not important to be best in class - what you learn and what you apply in life is of outmost important.<br />
<br />
<b>July</b> is adjustment month. Perhaps the biggest challenge for us this month is potty training our 2-year old. Oh the nappies we use with a baby and preschool still not yet potty trained. Sorry, Mother Earth for the daily garbage!<br />
<br />
<b>August </b>we started traveling. A great way to celebrate our birthday and anniversary month. As a start, we visited Dubai and stayed in Atlantis. We toured Ski Dubai, Mall of Emirates and the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world. We knew that we will travel more as family in the future. We are happy, we are letting things go.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>September </b>is another great milestone. We now have two kids in school. Kerim started school - big boy already! Kylie is in Year 2 and Kayra is growing up to be a very beautiful baby girl! Life is blissful.<br />
<br />
We visited one of my greatest friend, spiritual adviser and mentor in Indonesia - another travel destination with lots of lessons learned and memories gained! We rode an elephant - one item in bucket list checked!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>October</b> is huge change in lifestyle and attitude towards extended family. Our sisters moved out of our house as they have their own path to find. It's a mutual decision with almost no-drama. It's refreshing and it's a very good change. Time to focus on Turknoys. Grandmother also left to Philippines. We are again back on our own - with three kids this time. Not easy, but that's how family life should be.<br />
<br />
<b>November</b> is more EGGS in different basket. Some eggs we dropped, some eggs flourished. And yes, our 3-year old now use the toilet to pee (to use toilet to POO) is a totally different story.<br />
<br />
We are so psyched about traveling next year that we booked for <a href="http://disneylandparis.com/" target="_blank">Disneyland Paris </a>and availed their promotion. And the planning for Europe Tour begins.<br />
<br />
<b>December</b> is a month long celebration of the Christmas season. We particularly love the Qatar National Day as <a href="http://www.qatarairways.com/" target="_blank">Qatar Airways</a> has a one day promotion for plane tickets 40%! Boom, tickets to Paris was booked!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b>Don't you think our 2012 is awesome! </b></span><br />
<br />
<b>January 2013</b> came and more planning and investing happened. <b>February</b> is a milestone as husband started officially the business in Qatar and then off we went to France and Italy <b>March 2013</b>!<br />
<br />
And here's the beautiful NOW moment! - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TURKNOY?fref=ts" target="_blank">we are planning our first tour to Turkey this May through Istanbul Dreams. </a><br />
<br />
Life is indeed good.<br />

<br />
<br />
The Frozen Yogurt is in Doha.. another one claiming to be the original one. Well, to be fair, this one is really good compared to the previous ones we tried in Doha so far.<br />
<br />
So here is their version of how we should "enjoy" our frozen yogurt.<br />

<br />
<br />
If your are looking for an authentic Turkish restaurant in Doha, Iskender Kebab comes close - well, sort of. When we dined out there, there was a Nepali waiter, Filipino cook and Lebanese Restaurant Manager, that's Doha for us and I suppose, it is okay.<br />
<br />
The restaurant, however, has lots of old Ottoman pictures, which gives the "illusion" of authentic Turkish restaurant.<br />
<br />
The food is almost Turkish, the Iskender Kebab is almost similar to the ones we tried back home in Istanbul, not as delectable, but good enough here in Doha!<br />
<br />
Well, I have a happy Turk here, so it might be a little bit- authentic. Now writing about this, makes us what to go there again. It's located along Salwa Road Petrol Station, too far for comfort from where we live but in a not so busy day, it'll be worth the drive.<br />

<br />
Gnocchi is a sort-of-pasta made out of potato! It's a very straight forward cooking activity that kids would definitely adore every step.<br />
<br />
So here is how we enjoyed the gnocchi making at Carluccio's one fine Saturday morning!<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1:</b> Eat breakfast! Well, the kids were supposedly cooking breakfast for us - but they need to nourish themselves first, right? Besides nobody should cook with their stomach empty. Bad for the cook, bad for whoever will eat the food - simply because, nothing might be left to eat! So here goes our little chef eating his breakfast at Carluccios.<br />

<b>Step 2:</b> Prepare the utensils (bowl), ingredients (pre-cooked potato mash, flour and egg) and cute-chef materials (see that chef hat with little drawings on them - they made them as pre-cooking activity! Releases the stress of away from cooking. </div>

<b>Step 3:</b> Knead the potato mix! Mash away, babies! This activity is great for kids to learn texture through sense of touch. Gotta love the multi-sensory things going on here for kids development. For sure, my kids will be going to be successful - thanks cooking classes! </div>

<b>Step 6:</b> Time to cut and roll! For my pre-schooler, we were discussing the concept of "long and short" during this fun activity.

We should do this activity again! If not at home, Carluccios is really a very homey place to make kids appreciate Italian food - eating and cooking alike.<br />
<br />
<br />
Keep exploring!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
After ages of hibernating at home - comes the more tolerable temperature and off we went to see another Doha Event - the 2nd Dhow Festival at Katara. We have attended the first one and we definitely prefer that one. Although, this second exhibition is not that bad - there's free water everyone! Plus there are lots of lifeguard everywhere, however, the dhows are left unmanned. It is also very difficult to climb to the big dhows as it entails jumping off the stairs to the dhows, which has a high risk of falling off to the see - but hey, as I've said, there are lots of lifeguards everywhere, just no one to assist you to actually PREVENT you from falling off the see.<br />
<br />
Well, sorry to be such a whiner but it was a real challenge with two kids and one baby in tow - not a really friendly place for family unless we are equipped with lots of nanny, which of course, we are not.<br />
<br />
There are also more decorations and activities last year compared to that year, whatever happened to the preparation. I feel that the exhibition was conducted last in minute and they invite whoever is in the harbor that day. (A lot mean, but we really loved it last year!)<br />
<br />
There is a taxi ride this year which we didn't see last year but we were not able to ride as well. As ranted, it was not really family friendly.<br />
<br />
Was it worth a visit this weekend? Yes, of course, just take a little precaution and enjoy!<br />

<br />
<br />
We had breakfast in Bateel last Friday for lack of no other choice. We were up and about at 6AM as kids wake up early and of course, parents need to follow the kids lead. Whatever happened to lazy Friday mornings?<br />
<br />
Well, we had seen this coming and we intend to enjoy this blessing of togetherness. Bliss requires lots of effort, that we know and experience.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, we did enjoy Bateel as we were the only once there. It was as expensive as The Mango Tree and there's not much choice, only Arabic breakfast and American breakfast! We choose the latter and one is not enough - the kids fought for their 'eggs' and we ended up buying two! We did finish it and enjoyed the lavish (though not that tasty!) breakfast.<br />

We are keeping our eyes open for more breakfast choices so we don't have to run out of choice and come back to Bateel again. On the second thought, it was not a bad experience. Just not too high value for money.<br />
<br />
This Friday, remembering the cost of Bateel breakfast, we ended up staying in and the kids had eat-all-you-can eggs made by Mommy and they are happier.<br />

<br />
Halloween has come and gone and here's how we celebrated the event. We cleaned out our closet and found some old costumes - chose some and wore it and went to The Ritz Carlton for a Halloween Celebration. We have enjoyed the Halloween buffet so much especially the kids area - it has lots of Halloween activities for kids including face painting and balloon blowing! It was kind of adult Halloween party with kids. The kids enjoyed scary face painting and it was real spooky!<br />
<br />
Right after the dinner, we went home too tired but still managed to watch some scary movie, The Others, while nestled in bed together. It was such a memorable night for the family we decided to make this a family tradition.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Some of our favorite photos, of course:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
YAY - Another kids birthday party in Doha. And there's more kids as the <a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/2012/08/kids-birthday-party-in-doha-chowking.html" target="_blank">last kids birthday party in Doha we attended in Chowking</a>. And this time, there we were with Kayra, our youngest. Although, she cried a lot - being the first birthday she attended - well, to be exact, the first event she ever attended outside the house. At six months - yes, we were pretty conservative for her this time around.<br />
<br />
All in all the party is really great with kids, love the cake especially.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, <a href="http://wagamama.com.qa/" target="_blank">Wagamama</a> opened this week and off we head to try the new restaurant. British management - Japanese food - Almost all Filipino crew! Well, the combination may be too racial discriminatory but the food and service is overall pleasant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The food tastes like authentic Asian - but I seriously think that their Ramen is a so-so and that <a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/search/label/Chowking" target="_blank">Chowking</a> is better. Sorry, a little biased here. And in Chowking, it's way cheaper. But then again, Ramen is not really my forte. I'm nore of a rice person than a noodle-fanatic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ambiance in the restaurant is okay, child-friendly and cozy. Our six-month old had a great time in her baby chair - which is so cute (well, the baby is cuter of course!) There were these kids chopsticks which the kids love and we totally adore the kids meal which are the "mini" meals of the adult menu. I should have asked the mini meal myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the big crayons kept the kids busy while waiting for food - which actually didn't last too long a wait. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If there is one complain - all the juices and drinks are way too sweet, easy on the sugar please! Well, maybe it's because of the freshness of the fruit but we don't think so. Drinks tasted too sugary for our taste. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And yeah, the chairs have no cushions, the kids were struggling to reach the table. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Two complains versus lots of raves. Not bad. I just love new restaurants and their new recruits - we call them fresh blood - great customer service experience guaranteed. </div>

So, are we satisfied? Yes. Value for Money? We are in between. Would we come back? Maybe. If we can't bear waiting in line for Chowking restaurant chains and we need a quick fix for Japanese/ Chinese food craving!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Our family's first safari experience and it was in Indonesia! Our favorite part of the world - Southeast Asia! Of course, we are biased!<br />
<br />
The trip to Taman Safari, albeit challenging with kids, is so delightfully educational and sweet. What an adventure is was to see all the animals so free and happy. So unlike the animals in Doha Zoo (well, at least before, now that Doha Zoo is undergoing rehabilitation - we will see!)<br />
<br />
But then this was a safari, not a zoo, duh! The good thing was that we went with our hosts' car all throughout the safari - pretty cool just driving through the safari. There were lions, elephants, giraffes, lama, camels, zebras, rhinoceros, monkeys, gorillas, anteaters and all other animals the kids would love to see (if I have missed out anything at all!)<br />
<br />
We intend to see more safaris in the future and Taman Safari is a great kick start for this type of family adventure!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So what do you want to be when you grow up? In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KidZania_Jakarta" target="_blank">Kidzania</a>, they can do these things NOW. There's no need to wait for the time the kids grow up. The time is now - in the kids world.<br />
<br />
Kidzania Jakarta is the very first one in Southeast Asia. (The Philippines will have Kidzania soon and we are all so excited about this too.)<br />
<br />
There are over 70 professions for kids to try out in Kidzania- Jakarta. All these professions can't be experienced for one session. There's usually two sessions during the day, morning and afternoon session - need to be really early to maximize the time.<br />
<br />
As for us, we did enjoy what we had experienced. Well, at least the kids did for sure. They earn money, they spend money to earn money -exactly like the real life! Valuable lessons there for sure.<br />
<br />
Our three-year old Kerim just felt a little out of place sometimes because most of the professions are for 5 years old and up. No wonder kids his age pay half the entrance fee. But still, it is worth the experience. He did get to experience some professions as well anyways.<br />
<br />
Kids were so dead tired by the time Kidzania closed for the morning session. Dead tired and more knowledgeable about the real life and their "future."<br />
<br />

There are lots of professions we would still want to explore but we ran out of time. Maybe next time. Or maybe we could head out to Kidzania - Dubai. Well, one of these days.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
How fun it is to be a kid - everything is within reach of their imagination! And with places lie Kidzania, little minds can further be stimulated. It's really awesome when you think about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Keep exploring!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Didn't realize that this movie will be showing in Qatar Cinema so soon! Yay - another movie shot in Istanbul. It is really time <a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/p/exploring-turkey-pinoy-style.html" target="_blank">to visit Istanbul again</a>. Such beautiful country that this is not the first James Bond movie taken in this setting. And for sure this will not be the last. Really missing Constantinople! And we are so excited to for the entire family to visit the country again!<br />
<br />
For the mean time, we are considering watching the movie! It is already showing in City Centre and Villagio Cinemas.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Mango Tree is just beside <a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/2012/06/dining-out-in-doha-carluccios.html" target="_blank">Carluccio's</a> in The Pearl and eversince we had breakfast in Carluccio's we have been curious about The Mango Tree. And we went in such a perfect timing - they were offering Buy 1, Get 1 Breakfast Free during the Eid holidays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was such a refreshing feeling to have Asian fancy breakfast at a big discount! Score! Although we find the prices a tad expensive (without the promotion), the customer service is really superb and notable. The food tastes so delectably Asian - of course, we love it so much! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ambiance is great, we had the option to dine alfresco but since the weather is still humid, we preferred to be seated inside where the setting is for real fancy dining. Not just Asian - fancy Asian. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were given sample drinks - which we love and there's a free appetizer which the kids devoured in seconds. We just love free stuff! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The breakfast is a combination of Western and Asian - like enjoying two worlds in one place - it's very rare we enjoyed this breakfast in Doha. Maybe another big factor is that the kids were entertained by the bar tender! It was peace and quiet breakfast. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now wondering if they still offer the buy 1, get 1 breakfast. </div>

How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween!<br />
<br />
Another photo blog of our most recent adventure on pumpkin carving. We made it a family event and it was loads of fun. Here is how we carved the pumpkin and enjoyed the adventure.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Prepare pumpkin, the tools (scooper, knives) and pattern.<br />
<br />
2. Don't forget to ask the assistance of the ever supporting parents! And make sure that the brother is tamed in his own place.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
3. Check the freshness of the pumpkin. Make sure that the little baby sister gives a go ahead.<br />

4. Cut the top off using a long knife. Cut through the stem end of the pumpkin. This may be too tricky for a six-year old princess so be sure that the boys in the family help!</div>

<br />
<br />
Breakfast time in Doha with family is always fun - especially if we didn't have to clean out the kids mess - and boy, they do make A LOT of mess during breakfast! Such energy, such imagination, such fun!<br />
<br />
So, there's this signage in the restaurant back home in the Philippines which made me so irritated.. it goes something like:<br />
<br />
"Your love for your kids reflect on their table manners."<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, a little defensive here, but we sure do love our kids. Our kids are nice (most of the times!), they show respect to elder people, they are strong-willed and so adorably cute that sometimes they forget what they should or should not do in the dining table. It's no big deal for us, the parents, so why should it bother other people?<br />
<br />
Although, I must admit, that if these were not our kids and we are the ones seated beside their table, we would definitely comment on how we hated kids in the first place and that customers with kids should pay double the price as they disturb the peace! HAHA! Yes - supposed the sign has a point. Well, Johnny Rockets happily accepted our kids and we did apologize for the mess.<br />
<br />
We did enjoy the breakfast immensely. We love the food - eggs, pancakes, french toasts, the works - and really love -- love the refillable brewed American coffee - the coffee alone have made it all worth it for us.<br />
<br />
We had lots of chat over breakfast and everybody was delighted except probably the one who cleaned our table.<br />
<br />

We are getting ready for Halloween in Doha! This may be the first time we are attempting to celebrate this infamous holiday but since we are the Turknoys, we are going to modify the way we'll celebrate this day. We must admit, we don't know just how yet. We'll pull it off our way. Ha!<br />
<br />
Anyway, as a preparation, we carved a pumpkin! It's a start and we're off to celebrate Halloween in Doha!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes - we are dining out again! Some times, not as often as before. When there's no choice and we are definitely starving, we head out to Chili's. This particular dining out is particularly monumental as this is the first time we eat out as family of five, including our super adorable six-month old, Kayra!<br />
<br />
She didn't eat at all - but we are glad we can adjust to the situation of handling three kids when dining out. And it is quite a feat yet we are loving every minute of it.<br />

<br />
Well, when it comes to eating in Chili's, we are always satisfied. And we did notice the change in their menu - we tried some of the new menu and it was okay. Not really superb but okay! But hey, it's Chili's so we have no bad review here. We are very fond of the he place and Chili's has been nice to us every time we visit.<br />
<br />
Here's to less dining out in Doha, we hope! We are saving for more adventures outside Doha that's why!<br />

<br />
Eid Mubarak, Doha! Welcome to another 10-day holiday like <a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/2011/11/eid-al-adha-2011.html" target="_blank">Eid Al-Adha 2011</a>! Woohoo! More importantly, may we all be able to celebrate the real meaning of the season - the real meaning of sacrifice. Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son, Isaac (for the Christian world according to our Bible) or Ishmael (according to the Koran) to show his love for God. Christian or Muslim, or any other religion - may we be able to sacrifice big things or little things to manifest our love for God.<br />
<br />
In this part of the world, to show this sacrifice this holiday, Muslims sacrifice sheep and give the food to the poor and hungry. Well, someone is not willing to be sacrificed apparently - we saw this sheep got loose and saw how he ran for his dear life. He eventually got caught though without much show - much to our dismay. *winks!<br />
<br />
Eid Mubarak. Stay blessed and safe!<br />

<br />
<br />
The school year has started. Our little Year 2 girl is loving the school days! And still has the time and energy to read after school. (YES- THIS IS WHY WE DON'T LIKE HOMEWORK!)<br />
<br />
There are a lot of <a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/search/label/Ways%20to%20Encourage%20Your%20Kids%20to%20Read" target="_blank">ways to encourage kids how to read</a> although our favorite is talking about the book after reading and discussing the lessons and practical applications for the book.<br />
<br />
Here's what she has to say about Little Women. With little side comments from our little boy.<br />

Keep on Dreaming! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So I am <a href="http://turknoy.blogspot.com/2012/08/28-33.html" target="_blank">34</a>. My last year before I turn mid-30s (cringes!) Life has been unbelievably good the past years and I am almost on my plateau. I sincerely hope not.<br />
<br />
I have reached my vision. You know that scene when you realize that there is nothing better you could imagine. I totally felt that the past few days.<br />
<br />
I have imagined this for years. Somewhere between university days and my first years working here in the desert.<br />
<br />
My final destination for every day journey... a dedicated parking space for me! And yes, I have a parking space for both office and home now. Goodbye to going to work way too early just to be sure to get the closest parking spot. Goodbye to going around and around the building looking for parking spot for the night as I head home.<br />
<br />
I have done it. I have realized my vision. And what do we do when we reach our destination? We plan for a new one, preferably to a vision we never experienced before.<br />
<br />
Having parking spaces only for me is like seeing the lanterns for Rapunzel. That feeling is beyond words.<br />
<br />
Intro the song... I See The Light...<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We SOOO love the concept of <a href="http://www.jonesthegrocer.com/" target="_blank">Jones the Grocer</a> at the Gate Mall. The food we tried, however, is not super extraordinary but it was very much great value. For QR40, we got some fresh sandwich, side dish (fries or salad) and organic and sugarless drink.<br />
<br />
It is perfect for a quick lunch with husband before the school run to pick up the kids!<br />

<br />
It's back to school and we are ready.. well, almost. Kids, at least!<br />
<br />
I will definitely miss these naughty moments.<br />
<br />
The Ate bullying the kid brother for a Rapunzel scene. And the story:<br />
<br />
<i>Girl throws the ball. Boy throws back the ball to the Girl in the Bunk Bed. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Girl asks the Boy to climb up to get the ball. And say: "Rapunzel let down your hair!" </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Girl lets down the hair. (blanket). Boy climbs up. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And Boy gets down with the ball. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And the story continues over and over again. </i><br />
<br />
