Jared shops at Walter Mart

On our way to Gapan, Nueva Ecija last Friday, we stopped over at Walter Mart to do some grocery shopping and at the same time check out Metrobank's promo. The promo is you get a free Jack n' Jill snack pack when you purchase at least 1,500 at any Walter Mart branch. We all love freebies! Who doesn't anyway?

While strolling inside the supermarket using a regular shopping cart, we got excited when we saw someone using the kiddie push carts just like the ones in Landmark. We hurriedly look for one so that Jared can also enjoy the shopping time. Fortunately, I found one cart that has just been left out by another shopper. It's Jared's first time to ride/drive a car shopping cart and he loved it. It's really nice that the supermarket owners provide these kinds of carts for kids, really shows concern for their customers.

Ouch!

Jared got a minor wound on his hand 2 days ago. He was playing outside (running and jumping) and suddenly lost his balance and had his hand scratched. It drew blood. He cried after the incident. Too bad I was not there when it happened. Noemi, his nanny, consoled him by blowing some air into the wound (a way to soothe or lessen the pain but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do) and then washed it. From then, when we talked about his wound he would always ask us to blow on it even if there's no pain anymore haha!

Movie date

Last night, had a movie date with my closest friends from college. We had dinner first before going to the cinema. They suggested that we eat at Spaghetti Factory. I don’t like dining here since the price is a bit high while serving size is just good for one. Anyway, I had the Chef Style Pasta – baby shrimps in creamy pesto sauce which is quite good.

We watched the movie, Nights in Rodanthe which I really did not enjoy but I did enjoy the time I spent with my friends. :)

My two boys

I just want to share this photo of the 2 boys in my life :) There’s Ryan playing and Jared watching keenly. This is what keeps Ryan busy when we are at my mom’s place. Ryan is really fond of video games since high school days. And by looking at the photo, Jared shows the same fondness too. Or maybe he’s just curious about what that thing is. I hope so! Anyway, aren’t they cute? :)

Happy bee

My sister told me that Jollibee is now offering a Jollibee plush stuffed toy. I've been looking for one for so long since Jared likes the Jollibee mascot so much. He would always smile (a really happy smile) and say "bee" every time we passed by a Jollibee store. So this started my search for a Jollibee toy.

Now the promo goes like this, when you purchase worth 200 pesos from Jollibee, you can buy the stuffed toy worth 300 pesos. For me, the price was really steep. Good thing, my mom offered to pay for it just for Jared haha! So we ordered for delivery and as soon as the delivery man arrived with the stuffed toy, Jared started saying "bee, bee, bee.." He is absolutely one happy bee! (two bees rather, hehe!)

Today is my dear friend Sandra’s birthday and their wedding anniversary too. Happy happy day to the both of you!

And it's Jopol’s birthday too. He’s my sister’s boyfriend. Since it’s his birthday, he got pasalubong for us! Haha! It’s our favorite pastel from CDO. Thanks bro! Naks! :)

CRUSTASIAns

Had a nice buffet dinner last Tuesday night at Crustasia with Cel & Sands. There are a number of dishes to choose from and I think I have tried almost everything in the buffet table (sinulit!). For appetizer, I had salad with mango dressing, siomai, and nachos. For the main course, I had roasted beef, fish fillet, chicken curry, lohan vegetables, pad thai and of course our favorite crabs in schezuan sauce. For dessert, I had mandarin orange panacotta. It was really yummy and I had 3! With the buffet priced at 399, and also with free entrance ticket (good for 5) at Laugh line, I can say that this food trip is truly worth it!

This is my 3rd plate already! haha!

Yummy dessert!

Magdadrive ako hangang...

Subic! That's how far I went today. It was really nice to drive in the new SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway). It has a scenic route and lots of greens around. Travel time was almost cut into half! Anyway, I still need a little more practice before I can finally drive solo. :) Will meet Cel & Sands in Trinoma later.. That's all for now.
