then we went to mass and decided to eat out, at soms noodle house, near rockwell in makati....its our favorite thai carinderia (kind of a street food store) it serves authentic thai food..

our favorite at soms, phad thai and red curry...we also like its green and yellow curry....forgot to take pictures of the shrimp salad, their catfish salad is also one of my faves.....the fish cake is not that good wont recommend it....

shown here is the table that is actually set in the side streets.....well i guess that is the fun there....eating and getting all the smoke from passing cars, wit is feeeling very hot at the moment and could not eat that much....

then after lunch we decided to have the kids for a haircut since it is already past due.....julia had her bangs cut which is her style, joaqs had the barbers cut and jana was having tantrums since she does not want her hair cut.

at last after all the screaming and shouting, she had her first hair cut at age 2...... her mom decided to give here a bob cut style..... like the style of tom and katie's daughter suri's hairstyle.....
