Last minute shopping. This is what can be said of the malls and stalls in bargain places (like Divisoria) nowawadays. People are on the hunt for school supplies, uniforms, school shoes and thingamajigs for school opening on Tuesday.
We plan to go look for kitchen appliances but we have to hold it off to avoid the crowds. Who knows what virus or worse, pickpockets are up to during these times. I still want to watch a movie with the kids though, before the school starts, LOL.
Nowadays, even the brother-in-law who works to design furniture does not frequent the malls where he looks for inspiration. I think I should do get the things I need for my grocery list today to avoid Monday’s crowd since Monday is a holiday.
And yeah, now I need to wake up before the rooster crows to cook packed lunch for the children.

Yummy cheesy pizza, perfect for a light (light?) afternoon snack. This is the kind of pizza my children prefer, no frills but flavorful.

My eldest daughter noticed this unusual spectacle yesterday and took several photos: May 16, 2010 Venus and crescent moon alignment. One of which is this:
Venus and crescent moon aligned in the sky. Photo taken at 6:38pm some minutes before the setting happened, time was according to the news. Daughter said she even saw Venus “disappear” while we were on the road, which was also reported in the news.
I say it beats seeing this in person rather than watching video footage even on HDTV.
This rarely occurs and the next one is said to be slated on August 13, 2012 which is a day after this daughter’s birthday. Not everyone gets to see it too.
My friend iMom took a photo too. Enchie had photos too.

The sweet ice cream just got sweeter with chocolate syrup.
Summer = unbearable heat. See how fast the ice cream melted before the children even started scooping their share. The kids even kidded it felt like having a chocolate milk shake than ice cream 😀

The Moving Up Day of the kids has come and gone.
Hubby and I promised them a gift, a reward for all their hard work. They have long chosen what they wanted us to give them, before they even broached the idea of demanding asking for these tokens.
The little boy asked for a small toy car (he has several dozens already!) while the little girl asked for a small inflatable swimming pool for summer. Hmmm… the little girl even wanted a personalized gift but changed her mind when she saw those colorful pools in the malls.
Today I will probably surprise them and get the pool. The toy car can wait until they can go with me to the mall again since I do not know what car brand the little boy has set his eyes on.

Stacking cups, only these are not stacked on top of one another, my entry for Photo Hunt spiral.
I was cleaning the closets and preparing the baby toys my children played with when they were younger when I decided to take photos of the toys, including this set of stacking cups.
These were given to my brother’s young daughter.
Sigh, they don’t need these toys anymore, how time flies.
