Last Wednesday, I was included as one among the delegates (including our Mayor) to the Presidential Citation Awarding for the streamlining of mayor’s permit in support to the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises at SM Megamall Trade hall 3 wherein Her Excellency Gloria Arroyo will hand over the plaques. I was very lucky to see for the first time the President of the Philippines. It was my first experience and opportunity ever to personally see a President of a country in a 10 meter range! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture a picture of her because she was surrounded by security and my cam was borrowed to our cameraman. Tsk tsk... have nothing to show as evidence. I got only this pix after having lunch at Kamayan as Mayor’s treat/ remuneration for the job well done.. Sobrang busog, eat all you can.. And I ate everything.. hehehe
Last Saturday, we headed to a kids salon for Lance haircut. And I’m happy to announce that he no longer cried in the process! As in no extra movements, he sat still. Yehey! Here is his picture with the new do:
Next, hubby and I went to Robinsons to see the Ice Age 3, Dawn of the Dinosaurs movie with Lance and his cousins. Ice Age movies are Lance’ favourite. We were anxious if he won’t cry and be afraid inside the cinema. Initially, we asked permission from the admission counter to go inside the cinema first for trial before buying tickets. Then after couple of minutes hubby went out the cinema and reported that Lance was not frightened inside; however, there was nothing playing in the widescreen and some lights were turned on. Eventually, we decided to pursue the movie, we’ll just go out if he cried - we thought. We are just in time for the showing time. Then the lights were turned off, Lance was quiet and staring at the big screen until the movie begun. I observed him and he was attentively watching the movie! At times he will utter “Mammoth!”, “Manny! (Mammoth’s Name); there were instances of shock when Rudy the white dinosaur and Dino Momma will appear and roar. Despite of that, we did not hear Lance crying or see him frown. Yehey! Another milestone! He enjoyed the movie! At last, we did not spend for nothing! Hubby and I are so happy! We had a meal at Jollibee after watching as usual... We got home fulfilled and proud of our baby.. It’s worth spending for... well done my son.. :-) Love you.. mwuah!
During our 3-day seminar in Malate last week, my colleague (Kat-kat) and I explored the Robinsons Place Ermita. It's our first time to go there and and it's quite a big mall. We were confused with the sections/ "wings" of the mall. Cinemas there are distributed among the "wings". 4 cinemas are located at Pedro Gil Wing, 3 at the Midtown Wing, the remaining I forgot :)
Anyway, on our first night, we watched the CITY OF EMBER. This movie is a must-to-see! It's a suspense fiction movie and it will cause you nervous breakdown! hehehe.. Here's the synopsis:
In the core of the earth, there lies a town (Ember) with a huge generator supplying their electricity. After so many years, the condition of the generator is becoming weak and is starting to collapse. Without the generator the city will be very dark. That's why the engineers and architects who built the Ember left a written instructions on how to get on the top of the earth in case of the destruction of the machine. This instructions which was time locked in a box was passed to the Elected Mayor of the city. The box was neglected and was kept in the dwelling of an ex-mayor, until the box was opened.. 3 children who were being arrested by the bad incumbent mayor tried to escape Ember through the help of the torn instructions. Did they able to get out? Well, find out at cinemas near you..
On the second night, we watched the PASSENGERS. This is a horror-suspense movie and will keep your mind wonder until the end of the movie. Here's the synopsis:
A lady psychiatrist was tasked to help the victims of a plane crash recover from the tragedy. In the course of her therapy, a theory that the crash was caused by an explosion of the right wing of the plane had evolved instead of a pilot error which is being claimed by the airline company. The airline company was unhappy with this. Her patients are missing one by one on their therapy sessions. Until, two patients were left - a woman and a guy, who fell in love with the doctor. Finally when no one was left but her, a shocking revalation daunted her.. Is she alive or not? See it for yourselves..
There you have it! I gave you an idea on what to do this weekends.. Enjoy it! Happy Friday!
