Nestle Honeystars, Hotwheels and Domino's Pizza

Hubby is off to do some testing at work today so its just me and my son through this lazy Saturday afternoon.  I had not been hyper the past few days because of what seems to be a cold virus I could not seem to shake off.  I was glad I did most of the work done during the week, giving me some time to rest this weekend.  I was looking forward to just staying in the bedroom reading a book or working on some blog materials until my son saw this Nestle Honeystars commercial which featured a free Hotwheels pullback racer.  He hounded me for hours begging me to accompany him to SM Center so he can purchase the box.  I asked him if he had money, and he said he did.  He got his wallet and proudly showed me his cash, a total of P100.  Around 3pm I set aside what I was doing and told him we would go to SM Center to check out his Nestle Honeystars which he promised to consume all by himself. He was hip-hopping with joy as we walked our way to the mall.  I enjoy afternoon walks like this even when I am not feeling well.  The day was comfortably cool, felt like it was about to drizzle.  We brought our umbrella just in case it rained, I did not want my cold to worsen.  

The wonderful prize inside the box of Nestle Honeystars.
We had fun sticking the stickers on the racer.
The racer is also surprisingly fast!  My son is having so much fun with it.

Takara Tomy Toys

I bought this Takara Tomy train station as a Christmas gift for my son during the Toy Kingdom MOA sale in September.  I failed to blog about it then because I had to strategize a way to purchase it, have it wrapped and hide it from my son who was with me the entire time.  The salesman conspired with me and we got my son to believe that I was leaving the item with him for storage.  The salesman told my son that he still lacked points, the equivalent of 10 perfect scores in school exams for me to be able to claim the gift from Santa Claus.  It was a very effective way to motivate my son into studying well as he indeed aimed to get a perfect score for his exams.  Anyway, with the help of my stepmom, we were able to get the large box into the car without Ethan seeing.  When he saw it in the car we just told him its Tita Nanet's gift for her inaanak's birthday, it just looked the same with his box we were suppose to claim.  We stored the item away successfully until Christmas Day.  Good job to me and Tita Nanet!!!

Mobigo

In November of last year, my son was privileged to be given a Mobigo touchscreen as a pasalubong by relatives from the US.  It is an electronic learning device with a touch screen and a QUERTY keyboard.  The keyboard can be flipped in or out depending on the need or requirement of the game.  The device is easy to use by little children. All they have to do is pop in a cartridge, turn on the device and start playing.  Most of the games are user friendly and the child can easily browse his way through the game.
