week 23: good times =)

Business-wise, it's actually a bit slow. But aside from that, everything's all G☺☺D.

MONDAY

My second favorite day of the week! Though I didn't get to laze around all day because there were some errands I had to do. Hitched a ride with the school bus so I could go to the nail polish shop. They were on sale! Yay! Some bottles I got pretty cheap.

Megamall afterwards to pay for AB's payables and also to buy new magazines for the shop. Clients are always asking for new magazines and now that AB, our magazine supplier, is currently not here in the PI, I had to excruciatingly shell out for magazines. Had lunch at Wham! Burgers- Hungry Hungarian ♥♥♥ Well, it's not as fun eating alone but I've learned to live with it. Drama. Haha.

TUESDAY

Rex Manning today. Almost the entire day. It was a little slow and I decided to go to my sister's house and made her treat me to bbq from our suki bbq ihaw-ihaw. Yummy! No-fail go-to whenever I'm having these bbq cravings.

WEDNESDAY

Ay eto na- the day I lined up for eight frickin' hours for ugly shoes. That's eight whole hours standing up. With no food. Well, AD and I shared a double cheeseburger and 6-pc nuggets for lunch, while standing in line on muddy grounds, under the pouring rain. Never again. But the good thing about this day was the Shakey's dinner we had. Instead of eating out, AD had pizza and chicken delivered to their house and ate everything while watching Philippine's Biggest Loser. I felt guilty gobbling everything down while watching the doctor reprimand the contestants to watch their diet, haha.

THURSDAY

Missed Bones season finale because of the ugly shoes sale, but caught it on replay today. The show's awesome finale made my day and also waking up from a nice dream ;)

Trip to the bank to pay my taxes (that aren't working for me on the optimal level). Enrolled my account on internet banking and just when I finished changing my passwords, I logged in and can't remember my new password and got blocked off. Stupid.

FRIDAY

Passport renewal day! My passport is good until June 2012 but since we want to visit AB, I need to get the new, machine-readable ones. Thanks to my BIL (brother-in-law) who made circumventing the process possible. Hehe. But I am not proud of this. If time wasn't of the essence, I would have gone through every step such as setting for an appointment online.

After everything's set and after I had my fugly passport picture taken, it was time for lunch. McDo was packed so we opted to eat somewhere else. Sana Greenwich na lang but someone insisted on trying out this ihaw-ihaw place- Kainan Club, if I'm not mistaken. Ay super laos ang food. At gutom na gutom pa ako sa lagay na yun. As in I was in a frown the entire time I was eating my food. Not content with my tocilog, we ordered additional bbq because seriously, how can you f**k bbq up. But even their bbq sucked! Ay grabe super nabwiset ako. Masarap lang yung coke. Pero in fernez, service was good.

V and I planned to go to divi after passport renewal but decided to go with AD to Glorietta and use her complimentary movie passes. Tinamad na kami mag-divi :( Watched X-Men: First Class. I liked it. Even more than Wolverine. V and BIL went ahead and left me and AD. After we bought gift for my inaanak (omg, the term! makes me feel so old already) had dinner at Pizza Hut- AD's treat! :)

SATURDAY

Francesca's christening. It's my third time to be someone's ninang but this is the first time I was in the actual ceremony, I think. Ate Lisette and the kids came over. Reception was at Cabalen's- yummy eat-all-you-can food! But imho, lugi ako sa eat-all-you-can kasi hindi man halata, I don't really eat that much. Haha. Just had a little of everything- menudo, kare-kare, etc. Yummy! Went home and did a little catching up with Ate Lisette and the kids before I headed to my next lakwatsa...

Edsa Shang con mis compañeras de IC. Since we are on break from our courses, we haven't seen each other for two months now. It was Pam who organized the get together ☺ Pam, Joji and I were the early (pero sa totoo lang, late pa rin) birds. Had Tonnos Salata which was just salad but left me feeling full already but also mostly because I just came from an eat-all-you-can affair. Had a little bit of everyone's order cos I don't really feel like eating much. My favorite was Josette's order- the skewered pork tenderloin. Mis compañeras de IC are always good company.

After dinner, had coffee at Dome. When they said we were having coffee, I initially thought we were going to Starbucks. Sorry naman at yung ang default coffee place for me. But Dome's Flat White coffee's also yummy ♥

9pm. Everybody decided to call it a day (night?) ☺

SUNDAY

Mommy's turn to treat for today's Sunday Lunch. Take-out na lang ng tempura at Paluto in Libis and had lunch at home.

The new maids arrived! My "assistant" has arrived! Yay :) I hope she's a keeper so I can do other things such as plan how to become a landlady of leisure and a bazillionaire and have that movie marathon, too ;) But first, must train her well.

Dessert in Eastwood- V and H's treat. Siempre walang kamatayang Starbucks.

Sometimes I fail to see that I am indeed living a good life. I keep comparing myself to others, how they're living their lives, what they have that I don't... but then I stop and count my blessings and be reminded that life is good, MY LIFE IS GOOD.
