When weekend is coming near, Kib will always ask me, “Mom where are
we going this weekend?” I guess he also
feels boredom because all week long we are just at home (remember, he is
homeschooled and I work from home). So
this Saturday, January 24th, I was able to find something to do outside our home. I always make sure that my day
outside home is productive because I want to save energy and gasoline.
First, I went to Sophiaphotography studio to pick-up Kib’s
DVD compilation of the raw and edited photos from his last photoshoot (see previous blog here).
Next stop, Gateway Cubao.
I met a college friend whom I haven’t seen for a long time. So surprised to learn that we work at the
same company as ESL Online Teacher and we do both have a blog (shameless plug: please do check her blog,
inlovewithsunflower.blogspot.com). We
ate lunch together and she was also delighted to meet my son for the first
time. We parted ways at around 3pm.

While walking towards the basement parking, a salesperson
from Aqua Mineral gave me a piece of glycerin soap and immediately took my time by demonstrating the other products to me.
I didn’t mind being stopped since I am not in a hurry on that day. Actually I already have seen and tested their
products before; however I find it pricey so I didn’t purchase anything from
them. But since they have some ongoing promos I got somehow interested in their
products.
I also liked the way the salesperson accommodated Kib. Most of the time people get intimidated at
Kib since he is an English-speaking boy. But the salesperson also talked with
Kib in English with confidence and without ‘complaining’ to me that she is
having a hard time talking with my son. Also, when adults talk about skin care,
kids are not part of the conversation or sales talk, but the salesperson let
Kib experience the products too to show that their products are
kid-friendly. Actually, I am really in
search of kid-friendly products since Kib is into modeling industry so I want
to keep his skin soft and blemish-free.
I cannot just use any adult skin care products on him because it might destroy
Kib’s young skin. In short, I was convinced to purchase their products.
Part of my ‘freebie’ was a facial using their products. It was not non-invasive; the salesperson just
let me experience the other Aqua Mineral products. At first she only treated half of my face so that I can compare the results to the other half of my face. Honestly, I was happy with the results. The salesperson also let Kib to have
something on his face too! Am I raising
a ‘kikoy’ here? Haha

Can you see any difference?

Tada! I feel fresh! I so love it!
This is what I bought from Aqua Mineral, can't wait to have kikay sessions with Kib, haha
Last stop for the day was at Greenfield Weekend Market. Reason why I wanted to check it out is
because I wanted to buy organic veggies from Homegrown Organics. I was so surprised that their prices are
cheap! I hoarded basil, lettuce, and arugula,
haha…if you want to know how much it cost, just send me a private message. I
think I am not in liberty to put it here because their regular price is much
different from their selling price at Greenfield Weekend Market.
Yummy veggies! Can't wait to cook using these organic veggies
I also liked the vibe of the weekend market. It is just like the Balik-Bukid event in Sta.
Elena Fun Farm but in the urban setting.
There were picnic tables around, picnic mats on the lawn, and soothing
live music to entertain the people. There
were different varieties of stalls there, from food to accessories to home
décor to antiques. The cool weather
added to the wonderful ambience. The
place was also pet-friendly; we greeted some dogs and had a short chat with
their humans. There was a space at the
back where kids can run and play with each other. I let Kib play with other kids for few
minutes before we headed home.
Weather is so cool! Love it!

He loves the grass!
My dinner. Pad Thai and green tea. I wasn't able to take photos of Kib's food because he's so hungry, haha
Here's Macho, a Basset Hound

As I drive going home, Kib was already asking me to go back
to Greenfield Weekend Market next week.
Next week’s adventure is for definitely a different one. One thing’s for sure,: we will have a
wonderful time no matter what.

What a fun-filled Saturday you had! You were out almost the entire day and you were everywhere, hahaha! Your college friend looks familiar. And what a coincidence that you both work for the same company and enjoy blogging. :P
ReplyDeleteAndami mong biniling gulay!:) Don't diet too much baka di naman bumagay syo. I think you look good. One pound more, perfect na! Please tell Kib I enjoyed his company too. Kinwento ko nga sa parents ko how bolera he was and how impressed I was :) Date ulit tayo?
Naku, ganyan kami palagi pag umaalis, sinusulit ang oras sa labas, hihihi :)
DeleteI just realized how plenty the veggies I bought when I got home, haha...now I'm having problems how to consume them all, lol. Yes, would love to see you again! Would you like to see the other college girls too? Hihi
Sure. Whenever our schedules are free. :)
