It was nice to see the family at home. Here’s my daughter doing her favorite past time — reading! Yes, reading using her PSP. She turns into an e-book! She’s not much into the games so she uses it to read. I honestly do not approve with this because I am afraid it will put so much strain on her eyes but it’s hard to argue with teenagers so I just let it be, as long as she takes a rest.

And of course, here’s my little boy doing what he does best … Annoy her sister!

You might be thinking, good thing my daughter does not get annoyed! Well, that all depends on her mood. There are times where she gets easily irritated and this picture will definitely result in a brawl. This time around, she is definitely in a light mood. She just let her little brother be. I guess she’s so engrossed with her reading

The whole gang also requested me to cook their all-time favorite spaghetti, so I gladly obliged. You can find the recipe here.

It’s definitely one relaxing weekend. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend too!

We discovered that they placed a small playground in the middle. Sadly for my daughter and his friends they could only sit on the slide for a pose. Since the guards were strict on the age limit, only kids ages 5-12 are allowed.

So it was only my lil’ boy (who is not so little anymore) who enjoyed the playground.

He even rode the carousel. Look at him enjoying the ride even though he’s quite big for it. I’m savoring this moment while he still feels like a child cause soon I know he’ll find this too childish.

After that very enjoyable afternoon, the kids gladly accompanied me to do the weekly grocery.

Weekends are really something I look forward to especially when I spend it with my kids. No matter what we do, even if we just stay at home, it’s the time together that I find very fulfilling. It’s priceless.

What about you? How did your weekend go? I hope you also enjoyed your weekend. Share it with us….

Also, I’d like to apologize for not commenting on your entries on time but I do visit them whenever, it’s the commenting part that gives me a challenge when I am mobile.

Eton Centris Walk is envisioned to be the new dining, lifestyle and entertainment capital here in the Metro. Strategically located at the corner of EDSA and Quezon Avenue, this oasis will make use of “green architecture” with lush landscape and covered walks. It will feature these huge, umbrella like structures dubbed as Eton Constellation. This reminds me of Clark Quay in Singapore.

Some of the tenants will have its soft opening on Wednesday, July 7. The grand opening is scheduled on July 15th. I wish I could take a photo of this during night time, I’m sure the lights will be fabulous. Here’s the photo of the constellation up close…

That’s the highlight of our weekend. What about you? I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Feel free to share it with us by leaving your link below…

Not only do I take pleasure in this undertaking but I also benefit from it, I learn a lot! Last Saturday, after some errands, I told hubby not to take me home but I want to tag along as he visits one of the showrooms he frequent to in his search for tiles.

This is hubby at work …

As for me, I went around with my camera and took photos of the showroom. It’s interesting to know how technology has improved with regards to bathroom fixtures like this female urinal with a customized bidet fit for females.

Here’s one of their bathroom shower on display…

And of course, this showroom’s main product are tiles…

Tiles….

And more tiles….

It was a pretty laid back weekend for me and my family which is always a welcome change from our hectic schedule.

We headed out to a private farm in Lucban, Quezon which South of Manila. It’s owned by a relative of one of our friends who invited us. What’s so interesting about the place is the falls that falls inside its acreage of property. It was a real awesome sight… the beauty of nature.

Although we needed to go down a steep path to enjoy this pure beauty, the kids seem to not mind the hike. Once they saw water, they wanted to jump and go for a splash. We had to remind them that it’s not a pool, that the rocks will be slippery and the rocks at the bottom might be sharp. So carefully, they made their way to we the falls is and enjoyed the water — no matter how cold it was.

It was a fun weekend getaway especially for the kids who will be facing the rigors of school once again.

I hope all of you out there enjoyed the weekend. If you want to share it with us, just leave your link.

Have a great week ahead!

We headed out to Greenbelt and chose Barcino Wine Tapas Bar. We were four girls having a relaxing drink as we chatted the night away.

It was a lovely evening for a night out. Summer is almost over and the rains poured that day making the night not as humid, perfect for al fresco dining. Barcino offers excellent quality wines at very affordable prices. The place has a laid back ambiance and the bartenders are customer oriented, which is always a plus factor for me.

Wine drinking is a learning process. Once your palette is used to good wines, you’ll never go back and will always look for a better one. Most moms would probably freak out at the thought that I brought my daughter along to have a taste of good wine. For me, I’d rather that she learns these things from me than sneaking out to have a good time with friends. At least, I can give her a taste and at the same time teaching her a taste of fine dining.

My daughter enjoying the night

Barcino also serves scrumptious appetizers. That night we had Alcachofas con Hamon, Croquetas Pollo y Hamon and Gambas. These food are best paired with their wide selection of wines.

Weekends are created for us to recharge, everyone deserves a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. I hope you had one too. Share with us how exciting your weekend went by leaving your link.

All day air-conditioned room, breakfast buffet, and of course the pool. As my boy would say, “This is the LIFE!” Here they are enjoying their time at the pool and basking in the sun…

I joined them the whole day and night last Friday until we checked out last Saturday. My sister was the one accompanying them for the first two nights. We had dinner at a nearby Rai Rai Ken…

And since it was a rainy Friday evening, it was a chance for me to enjoy hot soup, Ramen, Batchoy style at Rai-Rai Ken…

Hubs joined us after work last Friday, here’s a photo of him and my son making the most of their time together before we leave. They look so cozy and cute together, I decided to take this photo…

The kids made the most out their summer and as a mom, it’s always a pleasure to see that your children are having a blast.

I hope you and your family enjoyed the weekend as well. If you want to share with us your weekend by leaving your link.
