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.

The weekend

I spent the weekend with the family (my side & Ryan's). Saturday - Went to the mall with Jared, Ryan, Mama & Mane. We ate at Kenny Rogers. It was Jared's first time in that restaurant and he fell in love with Kenny's corn muffin at first bite. He couldn't get enough of it haha! Then, we went to the supermarket to buy stuff for Jared. We spent quite some time here since Jared really enjoyed riding on the push cart. So here's the setting: Jared was inside the cart sitting on a can of milk while the 2 packs of diapers were on his side, and his foot resting on one of the diapers. How relaxing! haha! In the evening, Ryan & I watched a movie dvd, A very special love. At last, I got to watch it. Thanks to Mane, my sis-in-law, for buying a dvd copy.

Sunday - We went to my mom's house and had a scrumptious lunch. My mom cooked sinigang na hipon, turbong manok, & crispy pata. The sinigang was really good because I was the one who taught mom on how to cook it (haha! feeling..) She used calamansi instead of tamarind which for me is really better. For dessert, we had the Nestle Banoffee Surprise ice cream. The tub reads “swirls of banana and dulce de leche ice cream with real banana pieces, chocolate sauce, and layers of graham pie crust”. Yum! I personally like the combination of banana & chocolate so I really enjoyed it. We let Jared taste it too and as usual he liked it! In the evening, we watched ZOHAN but I was not able to finish it because I dozed off to sleep. Maybe, I'll watch it later.

Well, that's it. Hope you had a great weekend! :)
