Saturday Shopping and Birthday Celebrations

We did drive again to Festival Mall last saturday for Dirk's wellness session and weekend shopping. In the evening, we attended Georg's birthday celebration at Rose and Grace where we met some new friends. We cannot ask for more, this is indeed a wonderful life surrounded by nice places and good friends.

Post Mothers Day Get-Together

After our Villa Escudero adventure, i still have time for a get together with the Southforbes moms/friends. We talked about the schedule for our zumba fitness session while savoring on the delicious foods. We're really very lucky to have a nice community at Southforbes and our meeting also serve as our post mothers day celebration.

Baby Andrei

I'm a proud grandma again, Baby Andrei was born by normal delivery today weighing 7.5 pounds at San Pedro Doctors Hospital. He is the second child of my daughter Aizza. Welcome to the world grandson, mama lola loves you.

My Flower Collection

The Flower Collection is one of the Philippines leading ladies brand of clothing which aim to provide great fashion at reasonable prices. I would say that its one of my favorite because of its style and flowery design. It also provide Filipino women with world-class fashion through high quality clothing at affordable prices.

Sunday at Alabang

After pampering ourselves with a relaxing massage at Banahaw Spa where we have a family lifetime membership, we then drive to the Alabang Town Center for lunch and window shopping. As usual, we choose the Fish and Co. for our fish and chips lunch. We also bought our tickets for the Master of Illusions at Ticketworld National Bookstore. Its also a nice feeling to see families bonding together on a sunny sunday. Because of the last day sale at Festival Mall, we were not able to get a parking spot but the Vivere Hotel on the other side of the mall do the job.

House Guests

We're already two weeks here since we arrive from our Nile River Cruise in Egypt and was very happy to entertained friends at home. Our first visitors were our neighbor friends here at Southforbes and my family/relatives who came for the 3rd part of my birthday celebration and Mothers day. We always welcome them with open arms and hearts.

The Spinner in Me

What a surprise when i found out that i was one of the best spinners at The Mills Bowling Lane. For the benefit of my non-bowler reader, there are different ways of delivering a bowling ball and spinning is one of the style. This technique is very popular here in Asia where a spinner rotates his/her wrist around the bowling ball during the release, causing the bowling ball to spin down the lane. The axis will be tilted high into the air and there are lots of 'horizontal' revs on the ball. The ball will travel down the lane in a straight line, regardless of the pattern. The approach of a spinner doesn't really differ much from that of a stroker. The player just lets the bowling ball swing, where the timing is perhaps a little bit 'late' but the most important part in which this style really differ from the others, is the release. This release is called the 'helicopter' or 'UFO' release and a spinner performs this release with relatively light weight bowling balls (10-12 lbs). Hopefully there will be no more record breaker but in the game or whatever sport, we always never know.
