The arms and hands of the two younger children look almost black against the glowing lighted round thing they are hugging.

Here is another photo of the place, which shows a whole lot more of those things and taken with a blacker background!

We love going to this place because it is so clean, nice and not so crowded since it mostly offers a lot of places to dine. It is also a hub to different offices.

There is a bookstore here that has a lot of point of purchase displays for new bestsellers and the newest fad for school supplies. Sometimes I have to pry the children away from these because we end up with so many erasers, pencils and cute note pads that are not used.

When we went to the Manila International Auto Show, there were a few cars that my son chose to have his photo taken. One of these is this 2010 Chevrolet Camaro where we borrowed the model’s checkered flag as his “props” :D

Chevy Camaro

This 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is one car that will let you have others eat the dust with its horsepower @ RPM = 304 @ 6400. Definitely a vroom, vroom car. Watch a video here.

One important thing though before buying this car: auto insurance quotes.

That and a prayer for safety.

I’m sure anyone driving this would be level-headed enough to not show-off nor drink while intoxicated.

RainbowBrush Markers will be featured in an art contest all Saturdays and Sundays, from May 1 to May 30, 2010, from 2pm to 5pm at SM Megamall Toy Kingdom.

Your child will get a chance to win a box of Alphabet Edition RainbowBrush.

RainbowBrush Markers are revolutionary markers that will help unleash the creativity and imagination of the young and the young-at-heart.

I knew my youngest daughter would love these RainbowBrush Markers because she is not just artistic but loves to combine colors as well too.

These RainbowBrush Markers are water-based ones. It takes a damp clean cloth to wipe the marks if in case your child managed to write on surfaces he is not supposed to write on like walls. If the hands get messy, just wash with soap and water.

Shelved under My Family, My Thoughts

I have written about having eye tics in this post and how I used to think about looking for eye cream for dark circles under my eyes.

When we had our family outing yesterday, being the designated “official photographer” I took a lot of photos and I noticed one thing: hubby has eye bags under his eye bags!

I know  the pressure in the workplace is making him work so hard. There is also another pressure at home: It is enrollment time too that’s why we both need to work harder. I think this second reason is also the cause why my eye tics are in full blown, I feel I am working hard too, with regards to my writing tasks and reading about new things to write about. I do not see any problems (for now) regarding my students since it is summer vacation and it seems everyone is busy with their enrichment programs.

I hope to slow down after this week though, but for now I still have to focus more with what I have to do and organize my time better to be able to do some of the things I have to do like household chores. And bonding with the children.
