...And how was your weekend?

Our weekend was pretty busy... Saturday we did some grocery and window shopping for Manang and Ate Rose (Colin's yaya) as well as some "pabilins" of SIL. This time we opted to go to Makati (Glorietta area) instead of our usual Las PiƱas/Alabang area weekend shopping haunts. We got there at a little past 12 so we had lunch first at Yoshinoya. I'm really happy lately because there's little fuss in feeding Colin. I had little trouble feeding him that day. Since he likes something a little crispy, he was content in eating rice and Ebi Tempura. After lunch he was already asking me if he can go play already. Meaning I have to go find a play area/playhouse where he can have some fun. Nowadays, he's been so addicted to playhouses/play areas that every time we go out he requests for it. It's totally ok with him if we just leave him and Ate Rose there at hours end that he actually doesn't want to leave even when it's time go. There were only two (paid) play areas in Glorietta, Kids at Work and ABC Learning House. I opted to let them stay in the latter since it's less crowded. Kids at Work was teeming with kids so I know Colin won't enjoy playing as much. Little boy was so happy that he didn't mind being left there to play (of course with Ate Rose). After dropping them off at the play house we went to SM. I bought a box of disposable bottle liners, some sandos and a polo shirt for Colin. Then we headed off to do the grocery. We went gaga over the food stalls just outside the supermarket. There were so much food choices from viands to sweets to "kakanins". We ended up buying a few kakanins, meringue and our viand for dinner. We went straight home after picking Colin up. Colin didn't sleep at all while at the play house so naturally he was dead tired by the time we reached the van. He was asleep all throughout the ride home.

Sunday, I woke up at around 8am to check on breakfast. Hubby and little boy were still sound asleep. Prepared Colin's things for our Sunday "pasyal". We were taking out Mita today after hearing mass. I had to wake up the two boys by 9am else we'll be late for mass. We had a quick breakfast then asked Ate Rose to give Colin a bath and dress him up quickly. After the 10:30am mass we picked up Mita at their house then headed off to The Fort area. We had lunch at Portico in Serendra. Too bad I wasn't able to take pics of the yummy food we had. We ordered Bokchoy/Mushroom (veggies), Poached Gindara (fish/seafood) and Boneless Chicken Leg Bbq (meat). They were all tasty! After the hearty meal we took a short walk around the area. We weren't able to go to the Bonifacio Heights area since it was a tad hot that time and walking under that heat was certainly a no-no, so we had to make do with what we can explore in that area that we were already in. Had desserts at A Different Boostore... ordered Mango Tiramisu and Mango Cheesecake with their homemade iced tea... yum! yum! yum! :D We then proceeded to Market! Market! where we tired ourselves in going around the tiangge area. Was able to buy a blouse for Mita and a bag for me... teehee... :P Also bought the (portable) steam iron so we can bring it to our trip. It was already 5pm when we finished window shopping and we had to bring home Mita already since I still have a class at 7pm.

My student was absent so I just surfed the net. I'm having a hard time posting at night since Colin is already here with us in the room. Either he wants me to play with him or he wants to watch Elmo on the computer... so you pretty well know where that will leave me... ha ha ha... oh well... and how was your weekend? :D
