trip and tired

I'll be away for about three days again since I'll be traveling with the bf tomorrow. I'm happy because that means I won't have to write or work. I was supposed to take today off but my boss gave me two urgents tasks. I was going bond with the baby and take him to the mall this afternoon but he does not want to. It's fine with me though, at least I can rest early.

I had scheduled several tasks this week and I have finally accomplished all of them. I am now looking forward to relaxing in the metropolis-- although I doubt if it will really be a relaxing time. The bf's friend in Pampanga invited him for their annual fiesta and we'll be spending a night there, I think. That will be a first for both of us although I think their fiesta will be similar to ours. We'll just have to see...

I haven't uploaded my pictures yet so I won't be able to make a post on our St. John's beach day as well as my pasta dish. I'm just too tired to think of other things-sorry. I am into 2 Broke Girls right now and have downloaded all the episodes. It's really funny and after I finish watching, I'm going to watch Suburgatory next. I am still deciding whether to download Parenthood Season 2 because I've seen some episodes already.

My sister took our uncle to the doctor this morning. She was scared because he was having difficulty breathing and was requesting for oxygen. However, he does not want to be taken to the hospital so they compromised. He agreed to a checkup as long as he wasn't going to be confined. This uncle is the one we visit every Saturday who is a stubborn and mule headed war veteran.

Ciao!

wedding bells

I don't recall if I ever made mention of the wedding we attended in Bohol--most probably, I didn't. Anyway here's some of the photos I was able to take. That's the famous Baclayon Church, apparently, second oldest in the country.


The decoration is not something to be in awe of, save for the lighted half pillar, I guess.

That's my cousin, who is only two month older than the baby. She's a flower girl.


This is the bride walking down the aisle.


This next set of pictures were taken at Panglao Nature Resort where the reception was held.



That's where the newlyweds sat and where we had pictures taken.

This is what they served for cocktails. Laughable, if you ask me! The food for dinner wasn't also spectacular but I did love the grilled fish and lemon butter sauce. It was really delicious. I really wasn't able to enjoy much of the wedding because the baby was sick and he was pretty grumpy and wouldn't even eat. Luckily, it's not my wedding!

home early

I got in early Sunday morning. When I say early, I mean early in the morning literally at 1 am. I slept through most of the trip so I wasn't all that sleepy when I got home. But I still feel exhausted and I'm taking the day off to just be lazy. I'm still debating whether to get a massage later though.

Last Friday, we caught a vehicle on fire on the expressway. I'm too tired to upload pictures yet so please just wait for it. I also am going to post the baked scallops I made last Thursday. They're actually really, really good.

Luckily, today's Sunday so I won't have to work or take the kids to school. I'm just checking out messages online and play Zombies later. Sorry for this senseless post. Hahaha! My mind isn't fully operational yet. Please do understand.

accident

On our way home, we chanced upon this accident in Aklan. I don't know where it is exactly but the accident really blew us. The bf always said these buses wouldn't fall down due to air suspension or something. But he was greatly mistaken.

*we used our phone's camera for this pictures because we were in a rush.

ribs and yogurt

That was my lunch last Tuesday. The bf and I ate at this steak restaurant in the Banawe area--something like United Steaks. I wanted to eat ribs instead of steak and since we were in a rush, the bf ordered the same. While waiting for our food, I hopped next door to the yogurt shop and got this dessert. It was good and healthy--except that I loaded it with chocolate toppings! The bf grumbled that it was a bit sour for his taste. I told him so what? it's mine, not yours! The ribs were not that delicious actually, a bit hard but adding hot sauce made it palatable. If I wasn't hungry, I wouldn't have finished the ribs . There was leftover rice for sure!

Before I ate, I took the pictures using my phone and the bf asked why I had to take pictures of the food. I simply said I was taking pictures of the yogurt and not the food. = )

random shots

my latest stack of books from booksale. still at 20 each. the clay at the bottom cost about 40 bucks.

that's magnum-almond flavor. it's yummy and sinfully rich but a tad too big. a mini magnum would be better or you could share it with someone else...

that's the baby's shot of his crayons. he loves taking pictures of just about anything.

another chocolatey treat-choclate cupcakes with ganache. i got it for the baby and he loved it. it's cheap too at 18 pesos each only.
