June 25 until June 28

June 25, Friday

Last June 26, Friday, my family & I and my older brother’s girlfriend’s family ate at Polu Kai, Serendra, in Taguig City. One reason is that my older brother’s girlfriend’s mother hasn’t met our father yet. I haven’t met my older brother’s girlfriend’s mother yet. My parents & I arrived first at the aforementioned area, after a few minutes, my two older brothers & my older brother’s girlfriend’s family arrived. My dad & I finally met my older brother’s girlfriend’s mother.

For those who didn’t know. Polu Kai has a theme of Hawaiian. It is located at Serendra, Taguig City. Serendra is a propery owned and managed by Ayala Land, Inc. Serendra is between Market! Market! and Bonifacio High Street. Both Market! Market! and BHS are owned and manged by Ayala Land, Inc.

June 26, Saturday

Last June 27, Saturday, I went again to Powerbooks on Greenbelt in Makati. I went there because for two reasons: 1) to return a book called 2005-2006 Labor Code of the Philippines, and a book about wine drinker’s diet with making the best out of your favorite wine; 2) and to exchange the other 12 books I brought.

And also, it was the 1st time that my nephew celebrated his birthday here in the Philippines, and celebrated at Jollibee, Bluewave.

Powerbooks’ PowerBarter

I learned about Powerbooks’ PowerBarter in Greenbelt 3, on Powerbooks’ Twitter account a few days ago. And of course, I asked my parents to go there today. I exchange 6 of the books I owned.

The books I exchanged are:
Lois Lowry’s “The Giver”;
Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s “The Little Prince”;
Philip Pullman’s The Subtle Knife” and “The Amber Spyglass”;

I forgot the last 2/two of the books I exchanged.

While I browsing one/1 of the tables, a 20s-30s lady approached to me, she asks me if she can exchange from one of her books to my copy of Lois Lowry’s “The Giver”. I give to her, she told me that I can take her one/1 copy which I forgot the title. I asked her, if I can choose from her books, I took her hardbound copy of Nicholas Sparks’ “Dear John”.

Here are the other books I exchanged, aside from the aforementioned book:

Alice Sebold’s “The Almost Moon”;
Linda Gravett &/and Robin Throckmorton’s Bridging The Generation Gap;
Dr. Tedd Goldfinger &/and Lynn F. Nicholson’s “The Wine Lover’s Healthy Weight Loss Plan”;
“Writer’s’ and Artists’ Yearbook 2008”
Vicente B. Foz’s “The Labor Code of the Philippines”
