Life’s Lessons

I took a break from work and supposedly resting my eyes so I could have a shower and head to the mall where Ace and PILs will be waiting for me. Ace went to their place this morning to help rearrange their stuffs in the apartment then head to the mall right after. They might be on their way now but I am still here glued in my seat trying to finish some tasks so I won’t be rushing home to meet deadlines tonight. This is rather a busy day but I have to go out for a while.

Gotta go and have a short nap before prepping to go out.

It’ll be NEW YEAR in…more than 4 months? How time flies so fast! It seems like only a few weeks ago when we celebrated new year at the beach and we will be celebrating new year again. Where? Probably at the beach again! It’s time to think and plan on what gifts I will be giving my family and Ace’. What to give them? No plans yet. How about personalized gifts? Nah, I am still clueless. What I hope this year is I won’t be shopping at the last hour because it is really stressful. Hope I can start buying a couple of months before new year so it won’t be that stressful and it won’t hurt my pocket too much come December.

We’re about to eat dinner last night when Donald and Ella came telling us that we will be eating at the Malacañang Palace (read: my cousin’s house)…just BYOB (bring your own baon). So I hurriedly packed our viand (sauteed string beans and squash) placed it in a bag together with the frozen Durian that’s supposed to be our dessert, wrapped our rice cooker in a kitchen towel and off we went to the palace. We had sumptuous dinner of fish paksiw (fixed by Manang Inday), roasted pork (fixed by Donald) and our veggie viand with softdrinks and Durian. The dessert? A long chit chat that we forcibly adjourned at 10PM because I still have to work and the students has to go to bed early. So when is the next potluck? Maybe tonight…or tomorrow night!LOL
