UP-Ayala TechnoHub

Saturday night was spent at the UP-Ayala TechnoHub after we had our flu vaccine.

The place is sprawling, no doubt about it. The circular designs, the water fountains and the water formations at the back of the front buildings are very familiar since these are present in several Ayala properties like TriNoma and Market! Market!

The children enjoyed walking outside while savoring the warm night breeze and I know we are going to be back to that place sooner than we think.

Summer Fun

Hot and humid.

Summer shopping list.

Summer vacation.

These are what my posts are all about these past few days. And why not, everyone is complaining about the heat and humidity because summer has started already and our very brief honeymoon with the cool weather (like this) was yes, very brief and sorely missed.

It may be that the summer heat is being felt in this part of the world, still, summer comes upon us year after year no matter where we are.

So the Weekly Question asks you about summer vacation:

What are fun summer activities you do with your family?

My answer:

Shopping for Summer

With just a few days left before the summer vacation officially starts, I am thinking of getting new clothes for the children that will help them combat the heat.

Sleeveless tops, short pants and swimming gear (as if) are on the top of my list. Throw in some colorful flip-flops, sun block and we can say that we are ready for summer.

But getting these things require me to have a budget that will be able to get everything we need to have pleasant summer days.

Hmmm… I do hope there will be a lot of sale happenings on these items in the nearby malls that will enable me to get these.

So now, I need to get my budget ready 🙂

Calamansi Flower

Napakarami kong larawan ng mga magagandang bulaklak. I have many photos of beautiful flowers.

Pero napili kong ilagay ay bulaklak sa ibaba para sa aking Litratong Pinoy entry. But I chose the photo below as my Litratong Pinoy entry:

Calamansi flower

Simple, puti, maliit. SUbalit sa loob nito ay isang maliit na bunga na magiging source ng maasim at masustansiyang juice na hitik sa bitamina. Simple, white and small but inside is a small sour fruit that would be  a rich source of vitamin c.

Bakit nga ba ito ang pinili ko? Kasi na-excite ako sa mga maliliit na bulaklak ito sa aming maliit na hardin ng mga pu-puwedeng kainin o ilagay sa pagkain pagdating ng araw 😀
