It is now officially late April. We're now mid-summer and the heat gets really intense between 10AM-3PM. I've been trying to blog this past couple of weeks, but the heat renders me stupid. (Likewise, my mind goes completely blank when faced with the 140 character space on twitter. Blockage is really bad.)
My birthday has come and gone, and as a late celebration, we, with a handful of friends, went to UP for a picnic. Seb and I share a birthday month so it was a double celebration.
It was a perfect lazy afternoon. We sat on mats catching
up and the kids played. I miss doing this in campus. When I was still
an undergrad, my friends and I would spend hours under the trees either
at the sunken garden or at the lagoon, reading and feasting on carioca
and lumpia.
It was a simple fare: I prepared cold tuna sandwiches, sour cream
popcorn, and fudgy brownies. We also brought a cooler filled with ice,
frozen grapes, dalandan soda and the drink staple: coke. (We also had
rootbeer, but Nards hijacked it from the bag to make floats.) Sheila
brought Lay's sour cream, Tostitos and salsa. Meah brought boxed
cereals (hit with the kids especially the frosted flakes).
Nards brought his frisbees, and taught Seb the basics.
And when they grew tired of tossing the disc, they rode around campus.
Then Seb later joined the girls in blowing bubbles.
I can't wait for the next picnic. :)
