On Saturday, Johann and I took Seth swimming at the clubhouse of Puerto Real (a subdivision near Jaro) -- Seth really enjoyed swimming and didn't mind that it was very cold. The driver said he could hear Seth laughing.
Sunday was the big day -- Johann and I got the morning off and went to Robinson's to visit Booksale. We splurged on books and magazines and went away with a bagful of really good finds. I found a copy of Frances Mayes' Bella Tuscany for PhP77 and Johann discovered a new magazine (that came with a CD of really cool songs) for PhP110.
I found an interesting book on Japanese culture for my brother for PhP15 --
We spent a total of PhP500 at Booksale and went away very happy. ^_^
On our way home, we stopped by Bo's Coffee in SM Delgado and treated ourselves to a cup each. ^_^ While waiting, I went to SM Supermarket and bought some grapes for Seth.
As 30th birthdays go, this one was a no-frills/no-fuss celebration. We got a birthday cake --
We got the strangest birthday greetings -- one was from the staff of Mercury Drug. We were there picking up my mom's prescription and, apparently, your birthday is recorded on the Suki Card, so they greeted us. We also got a birthday greeting from Globe on our cellphones. ^_^

New bag! --
I've been looking for a good-sized bag for work -- something that I could carry a book and the rest of my things in.
I found this in SM.
It's the perfect size plus I like how bright and lively it is. ^_^

I still want --
A new wallet.

Bella Tuscany by Frances Mayes
... I should have a list of 30 books, in keeping with my age. Will update this when I get the rest of my books. ^_^
