Restaurant Review- Boston Marriott Quincy

Here’s another review for a local restaurant. 

We usually like to explore new places but we also have our favorites, regulars we keep going back and forth. We have been going to the Marriott Hotel for quick and satisfying breakfast buffet. Nothing fancy but the essential breakfast needs are there. We have not been here for extended period because they seem to be on renovations all the time. 

But after feeling so bad last Saturday, Chris texted me this:

This is where the cash register is. 

Bar area. Tons of TVs and lots of room to gather round. 

Clean subway tiles? You got me!

The new lobby of the hotel. 

Waiting area or welcome area depending on what you like. 😂

And this? This makes me want to stay and feel home. Well done Marriott!

Can we talk about this chandelier? Is it even a chandelier?

From afar, this lighting is perfection!

Is he really feeling it? I betcha he does. Too bad they stopped pool membership. We use to co e here as even if you are not hotels guests, you can pay to use the pool and exercise area so we came often in the winter time. 

And these is what I had!

And more. 

And more. 

 Like more? 

Overall it was a great experience. It is never crowded and you never feel rushed. And of course my favorite omelet station attendant, was lovely as always. 

Woke Up Crying

Last Friday night, I was a little sad going to bed. Nothing crazy just so many things in my head- family and just stuff in the world like that massacre in Florida. 

Early Saturday I woke up crying from my dream. In my dream, I was dead! Like dead in the movies. My soul was floating, I was looking down on Chris and the three kids. Chris was crying inconsolably and the kids were around him. I then woke up a little bit and i was indeed in tears. I tried to go back to sleep. Once again, I was brought back to that scene where my family was gathered around me. Then Chris stood up, instructed the nurse to not let anyone in before he “fixes” me. I have always told Chris that if I get sick or when I die, I don’t want to be visited when I am not cleaned or dressed properly and that when I die, I want to be buried with Mac’s Ruby Woo lipstick. 

I was sobbing so hard I woke up. I immediately called Chris who was at work at that time. Luckily he answered and i immediately told him. He said, I don’t have to worry, I have so much more to do in this world. I felt so much better knowing he was beside me when I died. 

Is that weird? Do any of my readers dream of their own death? 

Sorry I have a weird post today. 

Passport Renewal

I guess it’s that time. KC needs to renew hers as she will travel this July to London with my friends,  Jane and Grace. How lucky can she be? This trip is their gift for her 18th bday. 

Josh’ will expire this April so we figured we might as well. 

As Josh is considered minor, my husband and I still need to be there and have to present his birth certificate. On the contrary, KC just needs her ID and her old passport as she is already 17. KC can also have a 10-year passport, but Josh will only have the 5-year one. 

As for Pherry, we need to make sure he can renew his when he gets home as he might travel for school soon. It’s probably easier as we are not needed anymore. 

I highly suggest you research before heading out to passport centers which are often in post offices. 

Trivia: my kids gained their American citizenship in different ways. Pherry got his upon legal entry to the US as a legal immigrant son of an American citizen. KC had an American passport since birth even though she was born in the Philippines as she takes from her dad’s citizenship. We had to travel to the US with me and Pherry having Philippine passport and KC with her US passport. Meanwhile, Josh brags about being the only “ real” American as he was born here in Boston. 

Anyway, as I was yet again late from leaving work even though I promised the kids I’d leave earlyas after all, they’re on winter break, KC texts me and said, it’s almost 4! Sabi ko, “nyemas, alas kuatro na, wala pa akong natatapos” sabay lagok sa kapeng malamig. Pwede na akong senior citizen walang ng Tito/Tita stage. 😂

Visit to Montreal for Family

Hello everyone. So yes, I caved in am back to blogging. I bought BlogtouchPro. So let’s see if I can keep up. 

Anyway, we went to Montreal last Saturday and had to leave Sunday. Yes, we do that. Sometimes the best trips are the shortest and sweetest. 

Keep smiling fam!

My nieces and nephews are the cutest. 




And food. Food is bonding. 





There’s Ate Mytch bringing more food. 🤪









And this was the highlight. Dried salted fish. Yummy. 

How about you? How was your weekend?

Hello World

I am so back to blogging! Get ready!

Stars! Stars!

On the way home from Montreal for a sweet but quick weekend visit for family, Josh said it was really nice to see stars. 

I keep on driving and it was fun to have teenagers in the car with Spotify as we were just singing to our hearts’ content. 

After a few more hours, passing Vermont into New Hampshire, KC said the sky really looks beautiful and that we do t see this as much. It is indeed true as we live I. The big city. She even mentioned “light pollution.”

I gave a signal to my niece- as we were on a convoy and I stopped Dy the side of the highway just to see how beautiful the night sky is. 

It was indeed beautiful and made me feel nostalgic as the dark skies with flickering beautiful stars were my normal as a kid growing up in the province that I never even thought of it. 

We stopped for a minute or so to marvel at this simple gift. 

How was your weekend?
