A Beautiful Saturday
Today is another beautiful day full of sunshine. Quite hot outside as early as 7:00 o’clock in the morning. I was awakened at around 8:00 when I felt that I was perspiring already. But since it’s Saturday and I know for a fact that I didn’t have to report to office the whole day. I decided to extend my sleep and I got up at 9:30 am, just like I do through the week. (I am on EMEA shift). I have all the laundry done, floors swept, floors washed, dishes done, electric appliances cleaned …..now the sink cleaning. By 12:00 pm, I will have a clean house and the rest of the day to go out and play. I took a bath at around 1:30 pm, and ironed my office clothes afterwards. If I can convince my grouchy lazy nephew and niece and they want to stroll at the mall is the hard part. But alas maybe I am luckier this day that I was able to convince them to go with me in doing our weekly grocery. We went to SM Megamall in Ortigas for a change of venue for I usually buy my grocery @ Puregold Shaw. I promised them that I will be going to treat them at Jollibee at their choice of menu. We dropped by first @ Banco de Oro to pay my credit card bill for the month. It took us around 15 minutes to be able to complete my transaction, thanks to the efficient fast service this bank has been known for since I started my bills payment with them. On our way to the supermarket I asked my companion if we can pass by crafts section so I can buy some stuffs for I am planning to finish with my long overdue angel cross stitch project. I scourge for gold threads and other materials for my project. We scourge the section for threads and black aida cloth and unfortunately according to the saleslady that I was able to talk with gold color is not available during school opening for the said color is seasonal item with strong demands only in December. For wanting to find one, we decided to try National Bookstore but our efforts proved to be futile and I just settle for a sewing thread instead of DMC. I noticed that Kristine (my niece) seems tired and exhausted already, we decided to have our merienda at Jollibee Megamall food court. LJ ordered Jolly hotdog value meal with extra sundae, Kristine ordered Chicken joy and since I am not allowed to eat cheese and seafoods I settled for a Regular Yum without cheese. On our way to the supermarket LJ coerced his sister to try the carousel ride at the SM storyland. I realized as I see her embark at the piggy couch that kids will always be a kid at heart. I can see it her face that she had fun in the ride. I took pictures of her while the carousel is in motion. When satisfied with the ride, we proceeded to the supermarket and complete our grocery lists. I let them choose what they want and decide what viand they would want to eat for the whole week. This is just my way of compensating for my absence since I can’t be with them the whole day. I usually spent my weekend bonding with my niece and nephew, for I am usually busy with my office work during weekdays. We seldom see ach other during the day for I am on EMEA shift reporting to work @ 3pm – 12am and they have their classes on weekdays too. Bonding with my nephews and nieces makes my sanity as always.

Hope you had a great weekend too!!!!
