On Smile

Note to self. Be thankful that you have a decent job. A job that pays good clean money even if each freaking day seems senseless and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Be grateful that you belong to a high earning project which brings in millions of dollars.

Inhale and exhale.
Everything will be alright.
When in doubt, just smile.

On Lamon Weekend

Friday night was for Elias. Mom bought a voucher and it was about to expire. It was my first time to try that Pinoy restaurant. It was like Kanin Club but more pricey. We got aligue rice, crispy pata, pork sisig, pork sinigang, laing pizza and pakbet --- Hello calories! It was delicious and better or less sinful than Kanin Club. After dinner we walked around para bumaba yung kinain. But reality we were searching for dessert para maiba ang lasa. We ended up in Jamba Juice para feeling healthy kuno. Another first experience for me. Their drinks are kinda pricy but it was worth it cause it was think and heavy. Hirap ubusin. No preservatives.

Next day was for Binondo! Finally! IT was nice meeting Manosa, Fried Siopao and Wa Ying! No real dinner for me that night. Banana and noodles nalang.

Father's day Sunday lunch was for Sambokojin. I started eating at 10ish and ended at around 130! Just making sulit the buffet. Sashimi, uni, tempura and beef ihaw-ihaw FTW! Despite stuffing all that I got hungry come dinner time. Got Whami Burger with cheese and J Co. doughnut for dessert to satisfy my hunger.

Now I am so full! Sana lumabas na kayo. Mahirap na kung bukas pa sa office. :)

On Embarrassment

Setting: In a restaurant with relatives from my dad's side and the family of kuya's wife

Me talking to my 6 year old pamangkin: Go talk to them -- them referring to pamangkins from kuya's wife.
My 6 year old pamangkin: You know there is such a thing called as embarrassment!
Me:  *jaw drop*

Kids of today! She could have said, "I'm shy.", diba?
:)

On Thankful

Don’t you just hate pahabols? When you are about to leave tas bigla mayroon papagawa? Nice timing, diba? Especially since it is Friday and tamaditis mode is switched on already. But as a professional, I had to suck it up and act accordingly. Instead of ranting I should be grateful instead that I have a decent job that pays well. In addition, I got a CFA. Even if pampalubag loob I am thankful nonetheless.

On Memory of Lola

Seated on your throne

you finished your novenas

every single day

733 days

yet the image is still fresh

I miss you mucho!

Thank you for everything. You are always remembered. See you up there.

On Timing

I have been waiting for you for 2 weeks and you arrived now when I am about to leave for another adventure. What a wonderful timing! Maybe the theory is right that when you are always with someone then your cycles tend to be near each other. What a time to be a girl!
