We are almost halfway through summer vacation and I’m sure a lot of children, especially those who did not enroll in nay enrichment programs are bored. There are so many different things to get busy with during summer. Some go to dance classes, while others enhance their artistic inclinations or culinary skills and some delve into sports. I’m sure there are a lot of art supplies, baking supplies, shoes, sports clothes, and even equestrian helmets that got sold.

What have your kids been up to?

There’s no need to enroll them in all the summer fun programs available, just choose the one that one that interests them the most and try to have enriching activities at home like arts and crafts, baking and even sewing! I could benefit from the latter, LOL.

I bought food supplies today because the next two days are Maundy Thursday and Good Friday and stores, except maybe the convenient stores, will be closed.

I didn’t go to the usual supermarket I like because I know the lines going to the barcode scanner-wielding cashiers would be loooong. Customers in that supermarket tend to be OA before holidays, hoarding food as if there’s no tomorrow. I’m not kidding.

I went to the smaller supermarket which has higher prices for the grocery items. I don’t have to buy a lot so I guess it’s ok to pay for a little more than get stuck in a long line.

I hope our stash (of chips!) will last till Saturday since it’s just me and the hubby at home because the children are not with us.

I haven’t written a blog post about my PhP312 YSA Diamond Peel voucher which I bought through Ensogo. Ensogo is one of the many online discount voucher sellers. YSA is a chain of dermatological services clinics in Metro Manila.

My YSA Diamond Peel experience was good since I didn’t feel the service was short-changed because we only paid for a third of the original price.

I learned a few things when I claimed this service:

• Don’t wait till the last day to go. I did and there were already a lot of people who are lined up before me. I was the fifth client.
• Be early. I was early, around 10am but four others were earlier.
• Be prepared to get bored. I brought along a netbook and went online while I waited for an hour and a half for my turn.
• Be courteous. There was one client who came in around 11:30am and ranted on and on because she and her 4 other companions will have their turn around 4pm. They can’t go anywhere because they have to wait there. Turned out they had packed lunch in their car. LOL.
• Be prepared to feel a little pain, especially from the pricking. I don’t use blackhead remover so I guess the staff had a hard time removing those dirt on my big nose.

I ask if I have wrinkles and the staff who serviced me said no, I don’t have wrinkles yet. Yey! But wait! I do have some itty bitty warts starting to make themselves be seen, ugh!

I can’t find my Mini Maglite, one that has been with me for almost nine years. This flashlight has been to the places where I went and has proved to be useful in several occasions.

I remember removing it from my handbag and putting it in the luggage we checked in at the airport last week. Among other things people don’t put in their hand-carry bags are things like these plus big containers of alcohol, perfume, mouth wash, and even don tomas. Not sure about the last one though.

The Mini Maglite has a little chip because dropped it one too many times. I’m going to get a new one soon but this is not going to be as special as the one I lost because it came from my hubby.
