Flowers in the Attic Movie Screening

I am not a movie-goer but during rare times I get to be treated for a movie, I make sure to make the most out of it.  The same happened last Tuesday when I was invited by Nuffnang and LifeTime Asia for the premier screening of Flowers in the Attic.

We braved the storm and traffic just to be at the movie screening. I am so excited because this will be my first time attending a premiere screening.  We were given food and drinks from Taters (I love their popcorn J ).

Flowers in the Attic is a very sad story.  This is a novel turned into film.  The first part of the five books of The  Dollanganger Series written by V. C. Andrews.  This is a very tragic incestious story.  Because I was so drawn to the story, the next day, I instantly read the plot of The Dollanganger Series (all four succeding books).   I now want to watch all the succeeding movies. 

If you’re a cable subscriber of LifeTime Asia, Flowers in the Attic will be shown next week.   You can also watch the sequel movie entitled Petals in The Wind.  (I want to watch this too…).

Smart Kids Asia – Philippine Edition

Last Saturday marks another family day for the three of us.  Weekends are officially declared as family day for the Familia Nunag household.  We decided to spend it at SMX for the Smart Kids Asia – Philippine Edition.

Smart Kids Asia is an educational kid’s fair.  It offers a lot of Smart Trial Classes, Smart Activities, and Smart Performances.  It was one fun-filled event.  Neo enjoyed it so much – though we stayed for 2 hours only.

Leo and Neo got busy roaming around checking out the different booths and what they offered.  There were activities such as coloring and building blocks. 

There are also trial classes where the kids are taught some sports.  Taekwondo, Karate, and Soccer are some of it.  We didn’t have the chance to pre-enroll Neo, but the guys from Team Socceroo, were every bit a darling in trying to teach and play soccer with Neo.

But what really got Neo excited was the mascots of Nickeolodeon, Dora The Explorer and Diego of Go Diego Go.  He loves those shows.  We don’t have passes for the pictorial, but Neo was so persistent that we tried to sneak him with a picture. LOL

We had so much fun. J I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend too.

Manila Bay Clean-up Run 2014

I have been dreaming of joining a fun run ever since the craze started.  But whenever I think about waking up early and running, I would eventually decide not to go.

One very persistent colleague told me to join Manila Bay Clean-up Run.  Since she’s really persistent, I decided to go (and signed up Leo too.  I can’t run alone). 

Two months before the actual fun run, I would jog around Mall of Asia seaside once a week just to stretch some muscles and ensure I would finish the 5k run I signed up to.  (That colleague also told me to go on 5k and not 3k – mabibitin lang daw ako).

June 13 came; Leo had to go on a business trip.  I signed up my brother GB and his girlfriend, Zarie, so they would accompany me.  They are on a buy 1 take 1 package that day as it was their 2^nd year anniversary (belated happy anniv!).

We were late.  We came in at 3k gun start already.  But nonetheless I was a proud finisher of 5k run. Took the run in less than 40mins. 

I honestly feel “bitin”.  I should have run 10k.  During fun runs, there are a lot of runners and you would not feel ‘kulelat’ if you run slow because not everyone runs fast. 

I am now gearing for a 10k run – hopefully with Leo.  Wish me luck.
