Off we go!
Well, not yet, on Wednesday, but I'm not sure I can update this while we're in the Philippines coz I won't be bringing my laptop with me. Even if I rely on internet cafes, there won't be pics coz I don't want to bring along our hard drive while we're out. I'll try my best ok? I'll just keep track of what we'll be doing and update you when I can (^_^) Take care!
Belt Test
Finn took a belt promotion test this afternoon for High Brown. Jojo's not here yet so I had to do double duty with the videocam on one hand and the camera in the other. I took a video with the camera for his breaking technique since I can't seem to capture it at the right moment and it's blurry most of the time so video clip it is. Here he is (^_^)
Orisinal
It's not a typo ... I came upon this site, Orisinal, and it has lots of cutesy looking games - cute graphics, cute music, that you'd expect the games to be easy or for kids only ... but it's not. Some are but not all of them. Try them out (^_^)
Summer
It's officially the first day of summer!!! And tomorrow's the last day of school for Finn (^_^) And on Wednesday we'll be flying to Manila - yay!!! Have a great summer everyone!
5 Dancing Princesses
Not 12 Dancing Princesses ... coz there were only 5 girls who wanted to play that part. This was in the Library, and Ms. Karen, the storyteller, was there. She asked the kids what part they wanted to play - animal, girl part or man part. She then did make-up for the kids (whiskers for animals, mustaches for boys and blush and eyeshadow for girls). When she explained what the kids were supposed to do, she asked them again what part they wanted to play - king, queen, knights, woodsman, wizard, witch, rabbit, cat and mouse. When all the parts were filled, she then asked the kids to come up and then gave them their costumes and accessories. The kids were then positioned in the room and she started telling the story. Here's how it went ... she would tell the story and the kids have to act it out (^_^) She can't stop in the middle of the story because there was music and she had to keep up with the music. So the kids really had to listen to what she was saying, so that they know what they're supposed to do. It was fun watching them (^_^) Here's a short clip.
Seven
Cess tagged me about the 7 things I do for vanity ... not that I'm overly vain (~_^)
1. Let's start with the face. I use Olay moisture balancing foaming face wash, then Lander moisturizing skin cream with AHA, followed by Dove essential nutrients day lotion with SPF 15.
2. I never leave the house without putting on brown eyeliner, pluck and brush my eyebrows, curl my lashes (which are naturally long), Cover Girl pressed face powder and lip balm. I don't wear lipstick now, or lip gloss, just tinted lip balms. I love Burt's Bees. I tried Neutrogena and Almay before but I prefer Burt's Bees. It's cool on the lips.
3. I don't like my eyebags ... ever since I was small, I've had them. Even if I had a good night's sleep, they're permanently there. So I use Neutrogena skin soothing undereye corrector which lightens and cools the skin.
4. For the body I put on Nivea skin firming moisturizer with Q10 plus all over. Then Aveeno continuous protection sunblock lotion with SPF 45.
5. I don't have a problem with my hair. Any shampoo will do and I don't use conditioners because it'll only make my hair super limp. I only use conditioners when going to the beach so that my hair doesn't dry out. I also don't get haircuts often ... maybe once a year. Other times I just do it myself.
6. I don't get my nails done or have facials or massages. First of all, it's expensive. Second, I only paint my nails when I have to, like going to a wedding or something ... or when I feel like it (which is rare). My body doesn't like getting massages, it complains. Last time I had a facial was before my wedding - that was 6 years ago. So, yeah.
7. I like clothes, shoes, jewelry, watches ... but I don't shop for them, only if we really, really need them. We probably have major shopping sprees every 2 years or so, and only during sales or we shop at outlets. I have a lot of shoes that I should probably start weeding out the ones I don't wear at all, like the ones under the bed. I always wear my engagement and wedding rings plus maybe another ring, and earrings. Right now I have 3 watches (used to have more since that's what I usually get for presents) that I rotate. I don't usually wear necklaces or bracelets, only on special occassions. Sometimes I wear anklets too.
I think that's it ... it only asked for 7 so now I tag Aggie, Hazel, Jho, and Julie.

Happy Father's Day!
To all father's out there (^_^) We celebrated by eating out but I wanted to go somewhere we haven't tried yet so I searched the net and found Spain Restaurant which was on our way home from church. The reviews from patrons were all 5 stars so that's where I wanted to go ... plus we haven't had Spanish fare in a long time. The restaurant was a bit inconspicuous but it was really nice inside. Service was fast and friendly too. We ordered clams in a half shell for appetizer and Jojo and I shared the onion soup. When you think Spanish, you think paella so that's what we had. We weren't able to eat even half of it ... that's how much there was but it was good! Lots and lots of shellfish plus chicken and chorizo (yum yum). We had the rest bagged so I'll be eating that for the whole week probably (^_^).
After lunch we stopped by Blockbuster to look for Master Kim's (Finn's TKD Master) movie - Secret War. This was filmed in 2003 but was only recently released in rental stores. I think the other title of this is Ultimate Master. Unfortunately, the Blockbuster near us didn't carry it. Master Kim said that all Hollywood Video stores had it but only some Blockbuster's did. We're not members of Hollywood Video and the nearest isn't that far away but I'd rather not go there. Netflix carries it too but we don't subscribe to that either. I guess I'll just have to look at another Blockbuster somewhere. Anyway, Jojo rented Ghost Rider so we watched that when we got home. After the movie, we went to the park. We got home at 7pm already so after a quick shower for Finn, we ate and now I'm writing this (^_^)
Tomorrow, Jojo's going to Florida again. This is also Finn's last week in school then it's summer vacation (^_^) I have to finish packing our stuff too and preparing whatever needs to be left with our friends (like our fish and maybe payments for stuff) by the end of the week. Yay!!!!! We're all soooooo excited about our vacation. To all our friends and family ... see you soon (^_^)

Imagine ...
How this will change the way we view photos. I got goosepimples watching this and all I could utter was ... OMG! Truly genius ... I can't wait to use this. Thanks Owen for sharing!
