    I have written about the new camera that blogging bought in my other blog.

    One of the first things that I got from the money I earned by writing reviews is to buy a laptop. Nothing fancy, it was not even new though it was barely used.

    It was hubby’s decision to get this laptop rather than get a new one, which his former college classmate was selling because she was planning to get a newer and more compact one. He is my tech guru.

    When I have free schedule at my workplace, I bring it with me so that I can use it to write blog posts, reports and I even use it with my students. It is also great for watching DVD :)

    I even got a backpack for the laptop for easier handling. It is quite heavy though since we have to walk from my workplace to meet hubby in the parking space that we prefer before we go home. I haven’t been bringing this to work as of late because of the weather.

    In the backpack I have other things that I use for the laptop. Charger, mouse, my Nokia pc suite cable, the kids music player, my smaller digicam and even sometimes the digicam’s usb cable, if I have to take pictures of my children or my students in action. I call these my “tools of the trade”. Whatever.

    I am even thinking of getting an HDMI cable to use for the huge wall-mounted plasma tv in my work place. We can even use it at at home for other applications :D

    Children have sensitive skin that’s why we try to have them use the best skin care products that are not harsh and gentle on the skin.

    One of the products that they currently use is the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

    Thanks, Lola Mommy for a new bottle :)

    Saturday after work, hubby and the kids brought me to the Belo Medical Center along T.Morato Street for a bloggers event. The Belo Medical Center is the leader when it comes to re-shaping bodies using mostly non-invasive treatments. Click here to visit their website, BeloMed.

    We were first told about the history of the medical center by Dr. Hayden Kho, Jr.

    Some numbers were presented (which I blurred) along with the presentation of their services.

    The beautiful doctor herself, Dr Vicki Belo, personally greeted us and gave a talk about the purpose of having the bloggers invited to their center.

    After that, we were told to try some of the treatments that they have there. I opted to try the Power Peel. Click here to read Power Peel.

    That’s me, trying the Power Peel. I know, I could also do some other services but this will have to do for now :)

    We were also treated to a wonderful dinner at Packo’s Grill.

    It was a wonderful night made more special by seeing blogger friends and meeting new ones :)

    Good thing I was able to upload these photos in my computer when we got back after the event because we had to reformat my memory stick yesterday.

    As I have written in a previous post, we just love going to car shows, ogling at new and old cars.

    Not that we want to torture ourselves since we can’t afford these anyway, but still getting near these cars is a thrill in itself.

    Back to my title, if I have a car like the Subaru Impreza WRX STi:

    Or a car like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X:

    Sundays are family days. Families usually take this free day to bond by doing different things for fun or for other purposes.

    Ang araw ng Linggo ay para sa pamilya. Ang mga pamilya ay ginagamit ang araw ng Linggo para magsama-sama at maging masaya o kaya naman para sa ibang dahilan.

    We usually stay in during Sundays for this is the time we just stay in the house and relax with the kids. They don’t want to go anywhere so we just hear mass in the afternoon and have dinner somewhere.

    Kadalasan, nasa bahay lang kami kapag Linggo upang makapag-pahinga kasama ng mga bata. Ayaw din nila umalis, magsisimba lang kami sa hapon at kakain sa labas.

    Sometimes we go out and when we do, we usually go to the nearby UP Diliman for nature walks and biking and for a plate of Rodic’s tapsilog.

    Kung minsan umaalis kami pero kadalasan, dito kami sa UP Diliman pumupunta para maglakad-lakad at magbisikleta at siyempre, kakain ng tapsilog sa Rodic’s.

    Going to UP feels incomplete for the kids without a cup of taho and some sweets.

    Parang hindi kumpleto ang pasyal dun sa mga bata kung hindi sila bibili ng taho at ng mga pagkaing matamis.

    Pssst! Kuya, pabili ng taho!

    Siguro, may magsasabi, “Ang sarap naman niyan…”
