Free Comic Book Day

My son and I woke up early today so we could be at the mall by the time it opened at 10:00 am. The reason? Fully Booked was giving away free comic books to all its customers. Ruel picked us up at 9:30 and we were at the mall right before it opened. There was already a long line of people outside the bookstore when we got there. Fortunately, the queue moved quite fast. My son fell in line behind me and Ruel also fell in line after parking the car. In the end, we got three different comic books which left my son satisfied, specially because Ruel bought him a hardbound copy of Superman Reign of Doomsday.


 This was the line of people waiting for their free copy.

My son's new treasure, a gift  from Tito Ruel

After going around the bookstore, trying sooooo hard not to buy a new novel, I decided the only way I could go home happy was if I could drink milk tea.

I discovered milk tea during a trip to Singapore.  I loved it so much that ever since, I have always been craving for it.  I probably drink milk tea at least once a week now, sometimes even thrice.

    My son and Ruel read their comic books while they   finished their drink.  I just drank and took pictures.                                    

Our early trip to the mall ended with a quick lunch at KFC.  We then proceeded to my son's school where he practised for a musical show scheduled for tomorrow.  I feel so much like a mom today!

Painful Little Toe

I don't know what it is with boys' rubber shoes. Every time I get stepped on by my son, it always hurts so bad...and this has always been true even when my son was only a toddler. Today, we went out to shop for some back-to-school supplies. While he and I were walking, with him walking ahead of me, I suddenly got the urge of squeezing his left shoulder. He suddenly walked a step back and as he did, the nail of my little toe got caught by the heel of his shoe. I was in so much pain I had to stop walking. Several seconds after, I saw my toe bleeding. My nail was almost taken off my toe! Before the incident, I was in the process of thinking about what else could I do to stretch the back-to-school budget. Seems, I now have to stretch it a little bit more for I had to buy some Betadine, ointment and band-aid for my toe. :)
