The Hyundai Veloster, Ma Mon Luk and walking around SM Mall of Asia

23 April 2017

So Patrick has had the Hyundai Veloster for the week and this is the last day we're able to ride in it as a family.  We took it for a ride to the 2017 Trans Sport Show.  This post is about the day that we had - dining at Ma Mon Luk and stuff we bought while walking around SM Mall of Asia after we took a break from the Trans Sport Show.

Walking around the 2017 Trans Sport Show

23 April 2017

It's summer and it's time for another car show!  This time, we went to the 2017 Trans Sport Show held between April 20-23 at the SMX Convention Center.  Patrick actually covered the event for Carmudi, so if you want to see better photos of the cars, check out the article here.  The Trans Sport Show's main attraction is the Nostalgic and Contemporary Car Competition but there are other events like the Moto Builds Pilipinas and plenty of automotive after-sales, custom-build services and related businesses to complete the experience.

DIY: How to Replace your Toilet Fill Valve

22 April 2017

Minor plumbing problems are easy enough to fix if you have the right tools and a bit of courage.  Knowing how to repair plumbing problems yourself can save you some money since you don't have to hire someone else to do it for you.  I've replaced our faulty toilet fill valve on my own before and I found it to be easy enough.  You actually just have to follow the instructions on the package! LOL  Here's how the kids and I did it.

Summer Swimming with the family at Eastridge Athletic Park

13 April 2017

The best outings are those that happen unexpectedly.  As is the case today when we went to Eastridge Athletic Park for a day of swimming simply because my sister Sha and her family were already there!  She did mention that today might be the ideal time to meet up for the summer but we never actually finalized any plans.  The Eastridge Athletic Park is located within the Eastridge Golf Club development in Binangonan Rizal.  We were only able to get in because we were guests of  a member but we had to pay an entrance fee of P200/head (adult) and P100/head (child) which I think were reasonable enough rates.  We were able to bring in food and beverage (no corkage).

Our first trip to UP Town Center

07 April 2017

Another food craving for Rodic's Tapsilog yielded a surprise trip to UP Town Center. Whenever we pass by the area, Patrick always wishes to visit the new shopping destination but we've always run out of time.  Today, he finally fulfilled his wish and we spent about three hours just walking around the place and visiting the shops.
