Four days of no entries! I'm sorry I was lazy. Allow me to catch up...

Saturday, January 15

I left after my shift, picked up the parentals, loaded stuff for the Bunsos, and drove to SLEX. We stopped at Jollibee because Papa was hungry. After getting the complete order, we went straight to the Bunsos and both were surprised. :)

I had my interview (Jessa's project) that afternoon, then we went to Puregold for groceries.

Mama cooked her spaghetti at Bunsita's request and we had it for dinner. I slept while talking to Bunsita as she was disinfecting the goods that we got from the grocery. 

Sunday, January 16

I woke up past midnight, to another meal of rice and ham! Shortly thereafter, I encouraged everyone to sleep and that's when my "shift" began. I stayed up until morning light came, snoozing for 30 minutes until past 7 a.m. Mama and Bunsita began their preparations for the much-requested molo soup while Bunso and Papa went for their morning walk. When the soup was cooked and Papa and Bunso were home, we ate breakfast and said our goodbyes at a little past 8 a.m. We were home after a 1-hour and 15-minute drive. (Thank you Lord for the light traffic!)

Next destination was the apartment where I gathered more stuff. I was home past 10 a.m. (saw the assembled dining set) and we hurried up to catch Spiderman No Way Home at SM City Grand Central. Piggy and I were late, but still managed to watch and understand the movie. After the movie, we roamed around and stopped at Apple, and Digital Walker (for the iPad that Piggy was looking for) and ACE Hardware (platera similar to the one I saw at SM City Sta. Rosa was not available).

We agreed to book massages (at 4pm) early to be home early on a Sunday, which we have not had for quite sometime. We left ISF at 7p.m. and stopped at Puregold Commonwealth to buy ingredients for a decent ulam since we survived on noodles and canned goods during the week. Sinigang was the choice that night. Tired, we slept within an hour and a half after dinner.

My monthly chiropractic session was moved yesterday due to the alert level implemented until January 15. Posture Perfect decided to sanitize the clinic at SM Fairview and rescheduled impacted appointments. I left almost at 11 a.m.. traffic was light, but I still arrived 12:40-ish at the clinic. Session was quick, I was crispy on the neck (hahaha!). I decided that I'd continue my monthly sessions there so that I'll have at least one confirmed day that I'll be near my folks' place and get to visit them.

I got 2 pcs. turon langka and water before leaving the mall, stopped by our favorite carinderia - got the last dinuguan order + sisig, and then went to pick up more stuff from the apartment (clothes, coffee maker, speakers, induction cooker, platera, water jug, toaster, gift plates and utensils, and Lolo Bishi) I was dog tired (will definitely get a massage this weekend). I stopped by at Mama's, chanced upon Khan playing and Mama cleaning up. I played with the kids for a bit, and challenged them to a first-to-make-5-points in makeshift basketball where I promised a prize to whoever wins. Kara did! :) The prize, a visit to their Tito Manyee and Ninang Bestie on Wednesday. Mama gave me the two potted plants in the photo above nd gave me care instructions. :) I left for the condo with my loot.

It was MLK holiday in the US yesterday, but I had to login to work to help with comm requests that came in. 

Tuesday, January 18

Started my morning with getting the gate pass for Lolo Bishi, Speakers, and induction cooker approved, getting Kuya's sticker installed, and bringing up the approved appliances. The the St. Benedict door bantay fell from its hook and broke, the TV was lowered from its original mount, and the water tower arrived. I had to re-do my workstation set up to give way to the lowered TV, but all's fine.

It's back to work tonight, but VL again tomorrow!
