These Days

1. Together 2. My name begins with... 3. Lines. 4. Alone. I arrived home to this scene.  Alone for this moment means having no one to talk to. 5. Here forever. Lyrics to 'Not For a Moment.' This song has been playing in my head today. Beautiful reminder of God's unchanging love. Find the video on Youtube by Vertical Church Band. 6. Getting ready. 7. White. Flowers at the Salcedo Park. 8. Made by me. 9. On the wall. 10. Sweet. I received these candy-coated sunflower seeds as pasalubong from an officemate. 11. What I did today.

We watched the play 'Alice in Wonderland' at Greenbelt 1 today, with the rest of Neil's schoolmates and parents in attendance.  The show was scheduled to start at 2:30PM and we were just waking up from our afternoon nap at 2:05!  We had to carry Neil to the car, still sleeping, and made it just in time before the show started.  All's well that ends well! This was a visual spectacle.  I loved the set and costumes.  They were very creative and well-executed.  I read the book and I was curious about how they would present the scenes as a play (e.g. Alice shrinking and growing, falling down the rabbit hole) but it was all done seamlessly. Picture-taking was not allowed so I scanned a couple of pages from the from the souvenir program.  Needless to say, the vocals and acting were great, too.  This is Repertory Philippines after all.=) I recommend Alice in Wonderland for children of all ages.

Happy birthday, Lan! Sorry that you're not able to experience how it is to have a great big sister, like you are to me.=)  Thank you for your generosity, patience, kindness and presence despite the distance.  I admire your resilience and steadfastness.  Laaaaabs!

What happens when DasmaKids who have not seen each other for a while meet for lunch?  It can continue on to coffee, arcade and videoke, shopping and dinner.=)  Haha, that's what happened to us on Saturday!  I had to skip everything between lunch and dinner for the outreach event but everyone else stuck around. The main purpose of the meeting was to start planning for our grand family adventure coming next month.=) Lunch Videoke (pictures from Ian) New shoes for the boys Dinner at Dads Good times!

We dined at Zong in Bonifacio Global City two weekends ago and we were there again last weekend.  Granted, we had to use the Groupon vouchers before they expired but it's a really good place to eat.=)  This is our third time to buy vouchers for this restaurant and we've eaten there over five times.  All instances have been satisfying!  A popular item on the menu is  Chicken in Salted Egg Yolk.    It's not the healthiest choice but it's sooo good!  All the shrimp dishes are excellent as well.  The latest one we tried were the Broccoli with Prawns and Shrimp and Tofu.  The latter I would definitely order again the next time we visit.
