Weekend Story: Slow and Relaxed

Last weekend was slow and relaxed, just how weekends should be (for me, at least). We went home in Bacoor on Friday night and drove back to Manila the next day. We had a family dinner on Saturday night at SM Manila courtesy of my father who has recently received a check from Pag-IBIG Fund after filing for retirement as member.

He turned 60 years old last October and we thank God everyday for his good health.

Would you believe he got there at 7AM and got back home at past 9PM already? As for me, I just stayed in our room at my PILs’ place to do some crocheting.

I recommend this interactive science center to all kids and kids-at-heart. It’s very educational and entertaining.
