It’s been a while since my last post and visited my blog; I had a stressful week once again. My sister in law died last November 14 and we need to go to Isabela for her burial.
Little Kulit first time to travel for a night trip bus ride for 8-9 hours, he used to travel for a long drive but with our own car and I can bring all his stuffs, we can do stopover if we want to, he can have his tantrums all the time. But for now it’s a challenge for me how I can keep him behave and calm for the whole trip.
Hubby and I decided to have a night trip; we booked for a deluxe bus since we have a toddler with us. I was not able to take a picture for the whole trip since I have two bags with me and Little Kulit who keeps on talking and asking a lot of questions. Deluxe bus cost Php 650.00 while the regular bus cost Php 450.00, the difference is deluxe bus is spacious than a regular one you can reclined your chair, it has CR inside the bus and you have free bottled water and ensaymada.
And now here how it goes our challenges for 3 days;
1. First challenge- he is supposed to stay calm and behave for the whole trip, unfortunately nasa Megamall pa lang kami he wants to go home and looking for a tv
2. Second challenge- put him into sleep to minimize his tantrums, unfortunately he cannot sleep well throughout the trip maybe he was not comfortable in his position and it’s too cold. He wakes up every 2 hours.
3. Hotel issues- when we arrived at Santiago City around 5am and we need to ride a van going to Jones Isabela, Little Kulit is so sleepy na and he wants to stay at the hotel. Unfortunately we don’t have any hotel reservations and of course we need to pay a respect with my sister in law first. When we arrived at hubby’s place he keeps on shouting “I want hotel”
4. Adapt new environment- he easily adapt with his new found lola, lolo, tita, tito and cousins but unfortunately he cannot adapt with his new area as in napaka dami complain.
5. Little Kulit having tantrums from “I want tv”, “I want Wifi”, “I want to go home now”, “I want my Lolo Dan and Lola Albie”, “I want playmate” paulit ulit kami ng ganyan dialogue.
“Now I therefore conclude my son is really spoiled” 🙂
6. Little Kulit does not like to eat even drink his milk. I asked hubby to cook for him na lang, he ate pero konti lang.
7. He cannot sleep well- we are expecting that he can sleep agad because of our long travel unfortunately he is so hyper when we arrived even he had tantrums. He slept 930am woke up at 1pm. At night he slept for 30 minutes lang, natulog uli 2am to 5am. Oh san ka pa, of course kami din gising.
After all these challenges naman he enjoyed naman his stay playing with his cousins and lola. He enjoyed the attention. He even gave all his candies and lollipos and he shared his toys to his cousins.He even leave a trademark there he keeps on saying kasi “ATTACK” if may dumating na bagong tao to see him and to visit the wake.
I must say that he is still not used to travel via public transport and the simple life in the province. I asked hubby that next time he wants to bring us again we must plan it first carefully to minimize our burdens so we can enjoy our stay.
Having a toddler is not easy talaga, you must have a lot of patience and understanding and a lot of explaining to do.
Till our next trip in Isabela
About Me
Welcome to my space, my world! I’m Mommy Anna, a first time mommy, a wife, daughter, sister, and a friend.
Having a family, a working mommy and other woman duties rocked my world. I have a little time but a lot of things to do. My world is surrounded by my two boys (as of now), my family, my relatives, my office mate, my on line friends and my true friends. Each day I want to share and discover passion for things that makes them happy. Learning from my past experiences, I want to live life to the fullest, no holding back of anger. I want to be full of love.
My family loves Disney and has considered buying a timeshare near the park, but timeshares seem difficult to get rid of once you own. Fortunately, there are many sites online that can advise you on how to get out of timeshare. A company like Wesley Financial Group may also be able to help.

Yes! It is a challenge when you travel with kids using public transportation especially when kids are not accustomed to that. I am glad that he enjoyed his stay with his cousins.
He is so excited to meet new kids talaga sabik sa kalaro. Before he is excited to ride all the public transport now ayaw na
I totally agree that having a toddler is not easy, no joke and sometimes not funny at all. I feel tired and exhausted during our Baguio trip last February because my son was throwing tantrums most of the time.
Yes they have a lot of tantrums, minsan naman good mood. If I just can leave him sa house na lang. But we must admit iba happiness ng kids.
Napagod ako, haha! But you know, there are kids naman talaga that takes a while to adapt to a change of environment. I was the same as your son when i was young.
(now we’ve established that I was also spoiled, hahaha) But seriously, long trips are difficult naman talaga for kids. 😉
You know, I’ve only learned now that there are special buses like that (ignorant much?) I’ll think of that the next time we need to take a bus on a long trip)
its my first time din to travel in a deluxe bus, its more comfortable than the regular one lalo na ganon kalayo. In regard with Little kulit pinakamalayo n nya by land is Baguio kaya lang we have our own car kaya he can get all he wants
Aww, that’s understandable because it was a very long trip and there were a lot of unfamiliar things. I’m just amazed at the kasosyalan ng bus and his your son knows what “wifi” is!
naku he knows wifi talaga in his young age, every time na hindi cya maka watch sa you tube ng ninja turtles and play doh he will ask for wifi. It’s our first time to ride in a deluxe bus din mas comfortable and less yung stop over niya
Aaawww.. Super hirap talaga to travel with a toddler. Plus he’s not used to not having the stuff he’s enjoying here in the city. Siguro nga dapat mas i-adapt sya and i-encourage to enjoy buhay probinsya. But atleast he still enjoyed.
I have his ipad and his ninja turtles toys but he is looking for a tv and aircon :-). Kaya nga I must train him to have a simple living minsan yung as in wala lahat.
I can relate to these travel-related issues with your toddler. I’ve been there, Mommy and experienced everything. Everything will get better in time. Promise!
in time he will get to used of it. I must try to train him to use public transport 🙂
There you go! The joys and dilemma of traveling with kids. But with a bit of patience this trip will surely be memorable.
yes super nakakapagod but one of the memorable things that we did together as a family
