Military Games

My husband is a frustrated military. When he was young and still studying, he really wanted to study inside the military academy. Unfortunately, he was not given permission by my mother-in-law. Their family is really small, only two children, a girl and boy. Sending one of them to a far away school, and a military one, is probably the last thing they want to do.

So he ended up taking a course related to computers. His love for the military field has not faded though. He loves watching anything related to it on National Geographic and History channels. He even kids our girls that when they do not behave well, they will be sent to study in a military school as their discipline. As if I will permit it! Hahaha!

In his free time, he plays with our kids or he plays airsoft. Airsoft games can be pretty tiring as they usually play in a jungle setting. I would like to think that everyone can play this game but of course I am wrong. Airsoft is a game that require physical abilities such as agility, focus, and endurance among many others. While it is a team game, one should not be the cause of the team’s downfall.

Others have innate skills of a military person in them. Others build up on them by taking supplements to get ripped. At the end of the game though, what is important is that everybody enjoyed and that camaraderie is built. I believe that is one of he things my husband keeps on coming back for.

We Love Infinitea!

Before I learned about the milk tea craze happening left and right in the Metro, the husband introduced us to Infinitea. It is a small tea house located along Maginhawa, Teacher’s Village Quezon City. We pass by here whenever we are Las Pinas bound, as for hubby, he passes by the area every day on his way to work.

Unfortunately, things did not turn out very well for this branch of Infinitea. I am just guessing, ok. They are now closed. The brighter side is that, there is a branch in Festival Mall, Alabang and in Dahlia, Fairview! Well, these places are far as they may sound but they are accessible to us from time to time. 😀

A few weeks ago, we passed by the Fairview branch and I finally tasted the Blueberry Cheesecake Frappe that the hubby was raving for. As for me, I opted for the never-failing Wintermelon Kiss. I love their milk teas and other creations because even if I lessen the sugar, they still taste great!

And look who else enjoyed our milk teas…

I cannot wait for our next visit!

Wishing for a New Timepiece

I was fixing my watches today and I realized, many of my cute and cheap pieces are already defunct. Ugly straps, drained battery, and few scratches from day to day use can be seen in them.

Mother’s day had passed but our wedding anniversary, my birthday and Christmas are still coming. I still have reasons to ask for a new timepiece. I am thinking of asking for something that I can use for a long time, just like the Casio his and hers watch that we bought about three years ago. I did a little search online and I think I want a bulova watch.

On our next trip to the mall, I will check out the watch displays and decide on my pick so I can ask for it really early and that hubby can prepare himself. 😀
