Weekend Recap: Birthday Party, The Lego Movie

We had a busy weekend, Saturday in particular, because of many appointments made more challenging by not having the car.  I think it might take at least one more week to get it fixed.

Neil has Enopi on Saturday mornings.  After his session, we walked to Cityland to get ID photos taken at Kodak.  They were closed so we decided to go to Glorietta instead.  We took care of that errand, bought a gift for Neil's classmate who's party we were attending in the afternoon, and bought tickets for evening screening of The Lego Movie.

"Neil, can you stay here while we go to the toy store?" "Ok, Mommy."
Of course not. =)

We were all tired after that so we decided to take a nap, even if it would surely make us late for the party, which was supposed to start at 3PM.  Neil and I arrived at the Maxims pool at 4PM.  The party did not officially start yet so we were good.=)

Very nice pool!  We actually brought clothes for swimming but none of the other guests shared the idea.  Attendees were asked to swim after the program but by then it was late we had to leave to catch the movie in Glorietta.

The birthday girl.

We caught up with daddy, Ninong Caloy, Ninang Charm and Eli at the Glorietta foodcourt.  Neil had an unplanned change of clothes because he spilled water on himself. We rushed to SM and got him a complete set of outfit.  Shorts P225, shirt P175, briefs P200+. Comfort: priceless.=)

Fun movie.  "Everything is awesome!"

On Sunday, we attended service at VCF Makati.  We usually attend at Fort but because we don't have the car, this was more convenient.  Have you heard a foreigner sing Halik?  This intermission was so much fun.

Look! A supertree in the Greenbelt. Neil remembered this from the Singapore trip.

We had an enjoyable lunch at Via Mare. Thank you, Deal Grocer.=)  Thumb wrestling while waiting for the food.

Around the Internet 12.09.11

This week's notable links are related to world population.  I tend to be interested in a subject, read about it and discover these links. 7 Billion on National Geographic .  Special series on the world's 7B population, with stories and discussions.  They have a counter of world population as well. 7 Billion Actions .  A site where anyone can upload a story, highlighting positive action.  I was checking through the site and was encouraged by all the good work that people do.  Really, we can be hopeful.  It's just a pity that only the sensational negative stories get highlighted in the media.  Positive stories are found right here.  And thanks to the internet for making this possible. What's Your Number?   7 billion is an overwhelming number.  This site let's you enter your birthday and plots you on the population chart and identifies your specific number (datapoint).  Of course this is not perfect and employs some algorithm to estimate where you are on the cha

It's Not Complicated: Samson and Delilah, Ruth and Boaz

Image
The last two topics for the preaching series on love entitled 'It's Not Complicated' were on Samson and Delilah, and Ruth and Boaz. ( Podcast here ) Samson and Delilah .  The story of Samson and Delilah can be found in Judges 13.  Before Samson was born, his mother was visited by an angel who said to her, "You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razorbecause the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”  Samson was destined to lead and deliver Israel from its enemies.  But we know that his life was far from simple.  He made personal decisions that changed the course of his life, including marrying Delilah, which eventually led to his death.  It's a tragic story and Pastor Joe explained why it happened to Samson - wrong place, wrong standard, wrong person. Samson, although he was set apart as a Nazirite, spent time in Philistin

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Image
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 anybody interested in
