Passport Renewal at the DFA Consular Office in Ali Mall, Cubao

Today, Patrick, Dylan and I went to the DFA Consular Office in Ali Mall Cubao to have Patrick's passport renewed.  He's anticipating an out of the country trip in March and he needs a renewed passport just to be safe.  So, he booked an appointment online through the DFA Ali Mall Consular office website and proceeded to his chosen branch (Ali Mall) on the day he was assigned.

Received a Christmas Package from Del Monte Kitchenomics

February 11, 2015

Last December, I got an email from Del Monte Kitchenomics (I am subscribed to their newsletter) saying I have a chance to get a gift from them if I call the number in the email.  Well, of course, I'm not one to pass up an opportunity to get a freebie so I did call as soon as I read the email.  It took a while but I did get through.

They got my personal information and that was that.  I forgot about it afterward.  Then I got a call last week verifying the information I gave last Christmas.  This time, they said I was one of the lucky participants and I will be receiving something via courier!  I was excited to hear that and I couldn't wait to hear the doorbell ring!

Mama's 7th Death Anniversary: 7 things that made Carmen R. Paypon an excellent teacher

February 08, 2015

Today is my Mom's 7th death anniversary.  I was thinking about what to write and it came to me that she has been a teacher most of her life and, apart from being a Supermom, this is another part of her life that she totally owned.

So I thought that in celebration of this part of her, I'd write 7 things that made her an excellent teacher.

First time at CaliBurger Timog

February 02, 2015

We ended up eating at CaliBurger Timog when our earlier trip to St. Peter's Crematorium went bust.  Patrick's Uncle Rolly died and was cremated at around 7PM but we were only able to leave the house at 7PM due to Stanley's color coding.  By the time we got there, everyone was gone.

We decided to have dinner before going home and Patrick drove us to CaliBurger Timog.
