I have a couple of posts in my draft that needs to go out.. they are pretty late.. this is one of them.. about the new family member, the new kid in the house. The other post is about my high school reunion I attended last Saturday, August 1, 2009.. coincidentally is also the day Madam Cory died. July 29, 2009… Wednesday. I was absent from work because I need to bring my youngest son to the doctor because of his bad case of cough.. His pedia told us something like “laryngotracheobronchitis”. After visiting St. Michael Hospital, we went to SM Marilao for lunch after which we stroll along the shops looking for nothing.. just browsing. That’s when we thought of buying a laptop since NEO is almost retired (Yep, di tumagal kay Matt at Mom).. And since wife’s birthday is coming up (aug 5), it’s some sort of an early bday gift. We bought a Gateway LT2002i.. well apparently it’s LT2003i since it’s red (checked the site and 2i = black, 3i = red).

Pretty cool stuff! The only thing missing is the DVD drive… dang it.. sayang! We also came across a stall about magic tricks.. I’m sure you saw a couple of these things too.. here’s what we bought:
That’s 5 magic tricks that we still don’t know how to do.. but during the girl’s presentation, it looked amazing! Oh well, practice practice practice.
