It was a very productive weekend. And this is a very long entry. Here I go:
Friday = spoke to parents =) Always happy about that. They found a huge single floor bungalow in Baguio City, Philippines. 1 huge living room, 2.5 master bedrooms, 1 "normal" bedroom, a maids quarters, kitchen, and bath. It's located in a complex. My Mommy is excited to start decorating. Then went to Play (a lounge) to celebrate Charles' birthday. It was a couple thing, but my girls were seated in one side of the couch and the guys were on the other. It reminded me of grammar school days when girls and guys separated their ways. I must admit, I have some sexy ass girlfriends b/c all of them were so pretty dressed up. The pictures I have of them don't do them justice =P
Saturday = This was the SUPER productive day. Went to the bank, picked up and dropped off dry cleaning, cleaned bathroom, cleaned out the fridge, wiped the stove, cleaned room, vacuumed apt, got a car wash (finally), filled up my gas tank, paid November bills, started Christmas shopping, bought and wrapped Rosa's babyshower gift. Geeeez.. Then went Christmas shopping =)
I think my favorite room to clean in my apt is the bathroom. I do it so well that even the toilet bowl smells really nice =P .. Besides, it's the smallest room in the house to clean =) Then I finally did the Christmas shopping I've been meaning to start since 2 weeks ago. I got the majority of the females in my family. I would say I'm 1/2 done w/ the Christmas shopping. I haven't started on the kids yet. I was actually good. I didn't buy too much for myself xP . I want this cashmere multi color scarf! It was $50. For a scarf, that's expensive, but it felt so soft b/c it was cashmere. Every woman should indulge herself w/ at least one cashmere item. Maybe I'll buy it as my bday gift to myself. hmmm...
Then, I had some bangin' Colombian food w/ Jackie. I love eating with her. Especially the Colombian food in our usual spot (Tierras Colombianas). I think my love for Colombian food is where my hips came from ;) I always order the same thing, maybe I'll switch it up a bit next time, or order some sancocho (haven't had that in awhile).
Sunday = watched SpongeBob for an hour before church. He really makes me smile, especially when I sing along to the intro song. At Mass, I was happy Father Kush was doing the sermon again today. He said a lot of things that made sense about death. A lot of people are scared of death. But they shouldn't worry too much about it, rather, they should think how they have lived life. Life isn't about how successful you are or the things you've achieved. Life is about preparing for the after-life -- the life where it really matters b/c you'll be there for eternity. See what I mean, I don't usually blog about religious topics, but this priest makes me reflect, which is a good thing. It especially applies to me b/c I put a lot of focus on my future and where I want to be and what I want to have (like many people). I want so much and I worry if I'll be able to get the things I want. Don't get me wrong, its good to think about these things, but it's not all about that, there's more to life than getting material things. I know it's harder said that done, but it's something worth thinking about. He said a lot more things that made made me go "hmm", but I can't remember at this moment. All I remember is at the end of the Homily, he said that at judgement day the question will be "how have you loved?" instead of "what have you accomplished?".
Today is Family day. I will be missing the Giants play, but I will be celebrating two birthdays early. Sister-in-law's and mine. Had a lot of food (as always), German chocolate cake, played Gestures and Pictionary. Had some funny moments (as always) and even a sort of X-rated gesture thanks to one of my brothers =P. Received gifts I will definitely use. Click here for pictures and movie clips of the day.
Michelle, hang in there girl. Remember what I told you, you're going to have to be even stronger to continue... We're here for you. *muah*
The weekends always go by too quick.
