Today, I got up super early because it’s D-DAY for my son and his two friends who will be taking the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) examinations scheduled at 6 am at the Rizal High School in Pasig City. By 3:30am, I was finished cooking breakfast so I woke up the boys so they could bathe one after the other and eat breakfast before we all left (with my daughter in tow) at around 4:15 am. We were early because there wasn’t much traffic (at such an ungodly hour that is to be expected!) But that’s OK since there were already many students milling around the school building where the test will be held and so after buying them bottled water, we left them with the hope that they all do good on the exam so that they would go to MAAP together.
Meanwhile, off we went to Papa’s condo in Makati to while away the time as we wait for my son to finish his exam. Expectedly, Papa was already out even at 6am since its golf day today! Good thing Ateng was already awake and so we raided their ref and she rustled up some breakfast for us to eat. After eating, Jun slept a bit while I just chatted with the others while waiting for my sisters to arrive. We left at around 9 am and by then I woke up the hubby so he could come with us to Resorts World.
We watched the preview for the play – Sound of Music and I was surprised that my daughter enjoyed it! While the other kids did not, in fact, she asked if we could watch the play in full, but I saw the prices were sky high so I guess we won’t be able to afford it. Unless of course we would be able to get free tickets! After the preview, we ate our lunch at McDonalds then had a quick tour of the mall and even the casino before going back to the condo by 1:30 pm. The other cousins soon arrived in a while and we had a fun time eating pizza and chips with delish dips. Then, when it seemed we had no plans of leaving yet, Papa ordered Savory chicken for our dinner. We finally left the condo at 9pm, dropped my sisters off at Project 4 and the kids at Maryland so that we were able to go home at 11 but still it was a fun weekend well spent.
