Bonding Day

What seems to be the start of a perfect night can go haywire.

To celebrate Famealy Day, the office declared that employees can go home as early as 5:00pm. I have not been able to do so in a long time, this was my time!

Despite the heavy traffic that welcomed me as I approached EDSA, I was not to be fazed, I was determined to have dinner with my family.

An hour later, I was driving up to our house, an hour of traffic all behind me, excited to have dinner. I was welcomed by the sound of frying garlic inside a hot pan and the scent of Sinigang (Sinigang is a Filipino soup or stew characterized by its sour flavor traditionally with tamarind).

Things are looking better and better I must say!

Menu for tonight's dinner consisted of Stuffed Ampalaya (Bitter Melon), Sinigang, Stir Fried Kang Kong (Water Spinach) and Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly)

The meal ended with local fruits Rambutan and Lansones (Langsat).

Blissfully full, I was not ready to let this long night go to waste. I plan to organize my room starting with the accessories.

Halfway through the organization and deciding what should go together, I head my car honk, my brother is home awfully early from his usual monday night basketball game.

It turns out that he fell during the game and landed on his elbow, me- having the weakest stomach in the family, I felt faint and woozy but I had to snap out of it to take my brother to the ER.

We took my brother to Orthopedic Center in Banawe (a government hospital) and while the hospital fees were minimal, the treatment could have been better. 

Needless to say it was a long night for my family but the best thing about this is, we actually did achieve Famealy day, we had dinner together, talked together and had the unfortunate time to spend at the ER together.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Of Kris Kringle and Mickey

This year, we decided to have a Kris Kringle amongst the two teams. Mechanics: First KK : Buy something BIG for your teammate worth Php 100 ($2.50). Then wear an ugly sweater on Friday and have your picture taken beside the Christmas tree in the lobby. Second KK: Each person should think of a showbiz personality starting with the letter C and that will be his/her codename, then write at least 3 wishlist within the range of Php 350 ($8). Since we were all curious as to who wrote what, we decided to have another game. Guess the person behind the codename. The clues? The wishlist provided. It took me a while to guess because I kept on getting 3 names jumbled up. Finally, I guessed them all. It was fun to get a short break from work. Speaking of breaks, this is my dog, Mickey who is about 9 years old and absolutely hates getting cold baths. One time when the maids were washing the garage, he actually jumped up to a white wicker chair to avoid getting wet and having soap suds. Looks like h...
