I hope not. Though the children enjoyed a two-week vacation with my parents and were able to spend a day or two at the beach, it seems that they have not truly enjoyed their summer vacation yet. And yes, it’s almost over with barely a month to go before school starts.

It would have been fun to go some place where they can enjoy and do what they like to like swim to their hearts’ desire or even ride on an ATV (and I heard RZR XP Accessories are selling fast) on a trail.

They still hope they could go to their other grandma’s place but I think that would be next to impossible now.

We’ll probably just plan weekend trips so that they can still enjoy their vacation. I don’t know what’s with Sundays, the bed’s attraction seem stronger than having fun elsewhere.

Hubby and I watched The Proposal at BlueWater Day Spa Cinema Theatre in Ortigas last week.

An added surprise was seeing my niece there! Woot!

It was a lovely experience watching this romantic and super kilig movie sitting on comfortable and big seats. The massage therapists came to give us a much needed massage. She kneaded my stiff back with magical fingers. It was such a lovely experience, watching a movie in a theater with a few people in there while being massaged for several minutes.

This is a perfect venue for a sparty or even a pre-wedding bonding among friends 🙂

As I read several brochures in the lobby, I saw a husband and wife promo for a massage. Hmmm… this is a perfect personalized mothers day gift.

After our late night dinner, I went straight to bed and had a long relaxing sleep.

Here is another post I wrote about BlueWater Day Spa in Capitol Hills.

The kids are with my mom for one more week of summer vacation. I miss them so but life goes on and as much as I want to join them, I still have responsibilities with my teaching work.

Hubby and I will have these remaining days as opportunities to have our morning or late-night run together. We are scheduled to have a run later after we watch Senakulo at a nearby church.

It would be nice for us to have a relaxing day together to watch the HD screening of THE PROPOSAL at Blue Water Day Spa since we won’t have to worry about the kids being left out.  That would be a great post-birthday treat for him too since he is celebrating his birthday today which is a Good Friday.

Thank you, LittleRunningTeacher.com, WhenInManila.com,  BlueWaterDaySpa.com and  the Little Running Teacher fanpage if we get chosen to win a pair of tickets to this exciting and relaxing event.

Woot!

Below is an article that I -> Treasure Jar, wrote for the now offline internet magazine, WMP.ph and I am posting the commissioned and paid for Celebrating Wedding Anniversaries article here in it’s entirety because I am the author. Someone else copied the whole article and posted it in a site full of other articles copied from different sites. Just like the other article I wrote, Wedding Favor Ideas, this was copied without permission. No, I will not link the site that copied this one.

Sigh…

Celebrating wedding anniversaries has been somewhat predictable: a romantic dinner date at a new restaurant, a bouquet of flowers, the latest tech gadget, or a piece of jewelry are some of the common gifts couples have given each other for the longest time.

By JCF, Treasure Jar

But gifts should not always be expensive. A heartfelt letter or a card, a handmade project, or a homemade special recipe could be alternative options.

Below are several other wonderful things to do as a couple when celebrating wedding anniversaries:

Take a vacation together. It’s not a problem if the budget is tight; planning is the key to get the best travel deals. Escape for a few days from the hustle and bustle of your daily routine and rekindle that romance you shared on your first year together! For the busy couple, a romantic getaway can be an overnight stay at bed and breakfast places.

Have an adventure together that you will surely remember, like trekking on a nearby trail, or camping in the woods!

Instead of spending buying separate gifts for each other, why not make a purchase that you will both enjoy? How about that new exercise machine to keep you fit?

Share your blessings with others! Arrange a charity event and spend time with kids at a local hospital, or go green by organizing a tree planting activity.

There are no right or wrong ways to celebrate your wedding anniversary as long as you’re having fun. A nice way to cherish the memories is to build an anniversary scrapbook that you’ll update annually; by the time you reach your 50th year, imagine how nice it will be to reminisce together!

One of the signature “uniquely” Filipino thing is karaoke singing during get-together with love ones. Whether it’s a birthday celebration or a family reunion, the microphone is one of the most sought-after things, after the favorite main dish and/or dessert of course 😉

Every family has a good singer or two and they never fail to impress others with their singing prowess. Never mind if the neighbors enjoy their repertoire or these same neighbors cringe when the uncle with super off-key tone takes his turn to sing. LOL. Pinoys love to sing and sing loud.

As for me, the neighbor, I am not happy to hear these off-key songs from videokes especially during late at night, and specifically not from families having fun but from beer guzzling people small stores within the fringes of the vicinity where we live.
