Day 235 - Gabbie's Day Out

My 6-year-old nephew G wanted to try out for his school's football team so my cousin Ate N asked my brother, who used to play for our high school's football team, to help him practice. I and our other cousin tagged along because, well what else is there to do on a Sunday afternoon?

It was a lot of fun. Since he's 6 years old, we didn't really have to take everything seriously, so we pretty much just ran around, kicked the ball to different directions and had G chase us. :P

It was such a strange moment, though. Like something out of an advertisement for something family-oriented. I mean, the only thing we lacked was a picnic basket. Thanks much to the currently empty lots at Bonifacio High Street for making it possible. You can't really find a lot of grassy areas in the city, hence my initial thought that playing football with your 6-year-old nephew just isn't something that happens in real life.

Well, here's something negative to think about: it's kind of sad to think that perhaps this very spot we were playing on will be the location of a building (or worse, a parking lot) next year, or maybe even later this year. So maybe we need to go there more often before it's gone. I think we all need the exercise anyway. ;)

Day 205 - I'm a Winner!

Cebu Pacific is somewhat famous for their in-flight games where they give away stuff like these to the winners. They used to have really difficult games before like basketball (I'm not kidding), but now they've settled for easier ones like "Show Me" (which is like Bring Me, except you just show them the item). In our flight back to Manila from Virac, the game was "Cebu Pacific Trivia". And I won by answering the question: To where was the first domestic flight of Cebu Pacific Airlines?

I didn't read anything beforehand. I just used common sense. The answer is Cebu. DUH. (Actually, I originally thought the answer was Manila since aren't they technically headquartered in Cebu? But, anyway...) So now I have this Cebu Pacific pouch. I like it because it's black and orange. :D

Day 139 - SET Solitaire

My sister gave me the SET deck as a gift. :)

Unfortunately, I've no one to play with. Only my family knows how and everyone is really busy. So I play it alone, with the delusional hope that it'll make me smarter somehow.

Anyway, if you know how to play, come around and let me know so I won't have to play solitaire. How many sets can you find from this sample? I only found 2.
