Gianna was very busy this weekend. Her dad brought her to the fish pond in our apartment block last saturday morning to feed the fish. She was very excited to see the fish swimming near her when she threw bread crumbs imto the pond.

After feeding the fish, they went to play in the playground. Gianna loves playing in the sand pit, climbing the jungle gym and sliding down the slide. She is now more confident climbing up the equipment without support from her daddy or mummy.

Last Sunday, whilst her mum prepare their lunch, Gianna quietly sat on her mat and watched Frozen. Whilst watching, she also ate her cheese sandwich. Her mum was very pleased that she stayed quiet until lunch was ready! 

Sunday swimming

It has been a long time since Gianna went to the pool to play. Her daddy decided to take her to the swimming pool for a morning treat.

At first, she was a bit unsure whether she wanted to take a dip or just laze around the pool but she had decided she would not let this chance pass so she went splashing! Gianna also played at the fountain area which she enjoyed a lot!

Gianna at the Zoo

Gianna was very excited seeing different animals at the Saigon Zoo. She patiently waited and walked around the huge zoo to see elephants, flamingoes, monkeys, lions, bears and horses.

She was lucky enough to see one elephant taking a dip. She and her mum also fed the elephants with some veggies.

Her dad carried her up his shoulder to see a good view of the Asian black bears.

"Monkey!" Gianna exclaimed when the monkey sat close to her.

She was waving hello to the flamingoes.

"Bird, hello bird!"

Gianna could not stop staring at the elephant. 

Gianna's weekend 08-09.02.2014

Every Saturday night, Gianna together with her mum and dad go to church. Last Saturday, after attending mass her mum and dad took her to their favourite restaurant for dinner. Whilst waiting for our food she sat nicely playing with the iPad.

This is Gianna's cousin named Asha. They were having a good time nibbling on some treats in front of a local store near her grandma's house.

Here's Gianna sharing a bicycle with her cousin Zara!

Gianna could not help but be in awe riding a 'jeepney' parked outside Grandma's house. ( a jeepney is a public mode of transportation in the Philippines)

And this is Gianna busy drawing at her Lola (grandma) Luz's and Lolo (grandad) Ojie's house.
