When I was young, I always look forward to having a great weekend with my friends. We start our Saturdays in front of the television for our week’s dose of Saturday Fun Machine. It’s like my generation’s Cartoon Network in a very limited two hours. Our afternoon will divided to playing taguan, tumbang preso, luksong tinik, patintero and other old school games. A replay of the same schedule will happen the following day.
Two decades after, my weekends have become so much different than before. Well, I still get a taste of cartoon programs from time to time and even fantasize playing jolens, sipa or piko but would really look silly so I just keep it to myself. And besides, pain reliever and liniments are not cheap anymore so I do have second thoughts playing another game of luksong baka or play tag.
But I’ll tell you this… I’ve never been this excited about the weekends. Nope, it's not an out of town trip or a bar hopping escapade with friends that makes my excite meter up for my two days off from work. Actually, I usually spend that 48 hours at home for a quiet and relaxing moment with my family.
Thanks to fatherhood ‘coz life has never been this challengingly fun! Five days in front of the PC is not really an ideal job but having the photo of my son Charles as my monitor's wallpaper lessens the ill filling. After all, my little one and my wife are the two main reasons why I work hard and try to survive every workplace hazards like the deadlines, stress, pressures, and the blah blah blahs… you know what I’m talking about.

That is why I cherish every moment of weekends since I only get to spend quality time with my son a few hours on a working day. I am always high and pumped up every time the clock hits 6 pm every Friday. Through the photos below, allow me to share how super my weekends are even if the only happenings in our home are the same hush moments my family does week after week.
Silently, I watched in awe how my 3-year old knows the lyrics and dance steps of every character who perform over the Disney Junior cable channel. |
Quietly, we still cheer for our favorite team even though the whole basketball world is already giving up on them after what could have been their worst season for in years. |
Calmly, I still manage to find joy in a wet pants and messy shirt after our little boss forgot he's not wearing diapers and the tub his playing with still has ice cream in it. |
And the best thing I love about spending weekend at home, it always feel magic when the most important person in your life softly told me, "I love you, Daddy!" in a middle of his favorite song. |
As my family takes our journey towards a better life, we want to make sure that we are equipped with things that will help our everyday adventures fun, unforgettable and relaxing. We started by making sure that we are using the right appliances in our house. One brand that you can find in almost every room is Electrolux--- a flat iron in our bed room, induction cooker and microwave oven in our kitchen and a vacuum cleaner in our living room.
I am pretty sure that Electrolux will continue to be part of our home with the many innovative products that they come up every year. Two new products that caught my attention are the Ultra Silencer Green and Powermix Silent Blender simply because they fit perfectly to the quite and relaxing weekend that I always look forward.
I am satisfied with the Electrolux Dynama vacuum cleaner that we are using in our house but when I found out about the Ultra Silencer Green, I told my self that this is the way to level up. Not only that it's more eco-friendly, it also bring peace and harmony into every home with its revolutionary floor care. It has a minimal noise level of only 68db and cleans exhaust air by more than 99.99%.
Our kitchen will definitely welcome with open arms the Powermix Silent Blender that has a patented Sound Reduction System and Airflow System that promises users to have conversations while creating the perfect blend.
Now, that's what we call Hush Happier at Home!
