Sorry I missed The Love Month Meme #2. I'm going ahead with my #3 ...

This week's theme: Favorite Date Places

When hubby and I were still dating, we enjoyed going to the mall to watch movies. I guess you can call us movie buffs. We were fond of watching movie premieres with friends. We also enjoyed trying out new restaurants. Dessert has always been our favorite part of the meal.

The very first date we had was at a car show. Since then we always enjoyed going to car shows together.

Tagaytay is one of our favorite out of town places. We never get tired of visiting this place because of its accessible location, cool climate, clean air, magnificent views and interesting sites.

Valentine's Family Date

On Valentine's Day, my hubby, son and I had dinner at TGI Friday's. It was a romantic evening. I saw a lot of young ladies carrying bouquet of flowers. I didn't receive any flowers but I don't mind. Spending time with my family was more than enough.

Here is Yohan in red. If you notice, he recently lost his front tooth. He was pleased with the money the tooth fairy left under his pillow (which he immediately put in his piggy bank).

Corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, mushroom, chicken and a misplaced fish fillet (explanation below).

My hubby couldn't wait to take a big bite on his burger.

I called the attention of the waiter regarding the misplaced fish fillet on my Chicken Mushroom Chicken order. The waiter came back with the manager. She was very sorry for the mistake in the kitchen and offered to change my food. I already waited for my food for 20 mins and I couldn't bare waiting for another 20 mins so I declined the change. The manager said she will just waive my order from our total bill. It seemed tempting to just say yes but I said I will just let it go since it was Valentine's Day anyway. The manager was very happy and thanked me for being so considerate. She gave us this chocolate cake after our meal.

A complimentary Valentine's cake from the manager.

Love Meter :)
Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day celebration.

PaintBall Game

I have a friend who loves fun and adventure. One of the leisure sports activities that he enjoys is the game of paintball. I've watched an actual paintball game and even though, I wasn't a participant, I still felt the exhilaration of the activity. I enjoy watching the players in their serious game mode as they seek to eliminate their opponents with their paintball guns. The sound of victory as one team gets hold of the much coveted opponent's flag is deafening. Such a sweet victory is really worth celebrating. If you love adventure, this game is worth giving a try. If you are interested in this sport, you can start by learning about proper equipment such as paintball guns.
