Weekend: October 26-28

Here's a rundown of our weekend.

On Friday, we stayed at home in the morning then went to see Rich's mama in Eastwood.

Saturday started early with a morning Kids Yoga class in Pasig.  We changed time/place this week because we have a birthday party to go to in the afternoon.  I love this picture!


We stopped at the Salcedo Market to buy food for lunch.  Best find of the day was Sea Salt Caramel ice cream from Merry Moo.  It was soo good!  We bought a cup and a pint to take home.


In the afternoon, we headed to The Creamery at MOA for a birthday party.

A game was going on and Neil decided to go behind this wall.

This is a dancing game.  I did't realize Neil was airborne until I saw the picture.

We took a ride on the MOA Eye after the party.  Then we rushed home for a badminton game with Erick/Joy and friends.  I played 4 games and was totally wiped out.  But it was good.=)

On Sunday we went to church at 12NN.  We had a very long Saturday that it was impossible to make it to our regular 8AM service.  We went to Glorietta to get fitted for new lenses - Rich and mine.  We went home to rest, then went back to the mall for groceries.  Super-busy but we got a lot of things done.

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget. I very rarely reread books so most of my collection just sit on the shelf after I'm done with them.  I feel it's a waste of precious trees if they are not shared with others.  So I started a Google doc at work where the team can list down their collections and anybod...

Trivia and Reading

Image
I am currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and I am inspired.  It’s about the author’s year-long quest to be happier.  It’s purposeful and practical and has lot of tips that I can apply or have started doing. Rubin focused on different areas every month and for May, it was Be Serious About Play.  The author was trying to go back to activities she enjoyed as a child. This led me to also think about a favorite childhood pastime, which was collecting trivia.  The Philippine Daily Inquirer used to run a trivia section by Bong Barrameda and I would religiously cut and paste them onto scratch papers, which I would then collate and read again and again.  Nerd zone! Not only that, I also kept a trivia notebook where I researched and wrote down interesting information like areas of study, capital cities, historical figures, scientists and discoveries, everything!  That was fun for me.  I was about to say they were useless info, ...

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer

There is something to be said for collective recommendations like bestsellers list.  I found this title on such list at Fully Booked, read a few pages and decided to buy it.  I was intrigued by the theme of the book which is memory, specifically, how the author started as a journalist covering the US Memory Championships and ended up as a contender in the finals of the same competition one year later. It claims that with proper training, one's memory can be improved to be at par with the top mental athletes of the world.  Memory training has become an esoteric discipline because we practically do not need to remember a lot these days.  Information is very easy to retrieve from electronic devices and what not.  You just need basic search terms and the Google provides the information you need and more. Photo from Rainy Day Books I have to admit I rely on external memory a lot.  I can recall birthdays of my very close family members but outside of tha...
