So! Part 2 of the kids’ SOP.. sigh! and on such a gloomy day to boot, thanks to bagyong Quiel. Bagyong Queenel would have been an aptly name.. strong, scheming, vindictive! ;P PEACE TO ALL!!!
Wanted to go to the USEC (US Embassy Club Shopper’s Day Bazaar) today –heard so many nice things about it. Would have loved to see it myself.
 |
| The U.S. Embassy Club’s (USEC) 61st Shopper’s Day Bazaar will be held on Saturday, October 1, 2011 from 9am-4:30 pm at the Manila World Trade Center. The bazaar features almost 300 vendors representing the finest Filipino craftsmen and great food. There will also be a raffle and a silent auction. Admission price is Php 100. Kids under 13 free. USEC-supported charities feed thousands of street children; host medical missions; build homes, libraries, learning centers and health clinics in poor communities; finance life-changing cleft palate surgeries for impoverished children; and train teachers and parents to enhance their child care skills. |
Or the Mercato Centrale bazaar. But I was afraid we might get stranded by the flooding! @_@
 |
| Are you tired of the same old run-of-the-mill food? Are you looking for a place where you can get together with fellow food enthusiasts and enjoy a great meal? Are you looking for a great tasting food adventure during the weekends? Then come to Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City! Extensive selection of mouth-watering foods! A vibrant organic market! Air-conditioned tents! Live entertainment! Free Wi-Fi! Operating Hours: Saturdays and Sundays 7am – 2pm |
Oh well, maybe next week if the weather is good. Although I have to wait another month for the USEC. Thankfully, Mercato is having a branch here in the south!!! m/ I won’t have to go so far.. I hope that they have the same buzz & energy though!
 |
| Ivy was also the one who told me about this, BTW! 😉 She’s truly my source of information! |
Instead, had to get up early for this…
 |
| Assembly for my 2 kids’ SOP with their friends. |
 |
| CAT cadets. We are so thankful for their cooperation. The weather was changing already & impending rain was looming.. Had to move fast! |
 |
| One of the requirements for my kids’ SOP is social interaction. So they prepared a game. |
 |
| This game is called MAGIC CARPET. You have to be able to FLIP the entire mat over.. Yes, while a group of kids are still on it!!! Here’s our troop showing how it’s done! ;)) I must admit, this is a game of strategy & wit. Had I not seen them do it themselves, I wouldn’t even think it was possible! |
 |
| CAT cadets divided into 2 teams. Ready? Get set? Go!!!!!! |
 |
| I’m glad to see my baby is so amused with the on-goings! ;)) |
 |
| With some prizes they prepared. A little token lang naman.. There’s my mom a the helm, making usi again, hahaha! ;)) |
 |
| With the winning team. |
 |
| After that was the food sharing portion. The kids prepared spaghetti, burgers & juice to show their appreciation to the cadets for accommodating us. |
 |
| Some of the boys serving our hosts.. |
 |
| The ratio is 3:1 3 of them, 1 of us! 🙂 So our troop can interact with the hosts. Some of my brood had a hard time speaking in tagalog & were shy. I’m proud to say that my 2 kids did a great job mingling with their hosts! |
 |
| My babyson, through baluktot na tagalog, made a great effort to interact with them. It was so funny eaves-dropping on their conversation, hahaha! ;)) |
 |
| At my mom’s school canteen. |
After lunch, they went on to the Daycare center for another 5 hours to complete their requirement for the year. They are required 5 hours/SOP. By now, the rain & wind were at their elements!!! @_@
 |
| More fun & games for the little ones.. |
 |
| Then pizza for snacks. |
Before we left, the wacky kids, of course, had to owl & plank! 😛 Kids will be kids! ;)) Actually, nainggit ako.. gusto ko sana sumali!!! 😛
 |
| Owlin’.. |
 |
| and plankin’! ;)) |
I’t’s really been an EXCEPTIONALLY tiring day!!! @_@ I’m just so glad that’s over & done with, sigh! Now, to get their principal to accept this group effort instead of the individual program she wants is another thing! @_@
Wish us luck, guys! 😉
