snippets 130

aka: the snippet that should have been posted about a month ago (phew!)




I highly assumed that this particular post would be a long one that's why I deferred it at the time. But now, almost a month later I'd just write it as it is with no romaticizing it.

Last October 9, I woke up at Myla's house because it's the morning after! After her birthday. We slept over their house. Remember? Anyway, I have this internal struggle of whether I am going home to take a shower or just head straight to Greenhills where we were supposed to have lunch. We were celebrating our 6th year in our home.

Eventually, I decided to go home and have a quick shower. A decision I am thankful I did because  instead of just having lunch at Greenhills we ended up spending the rest of the day up until dinner there.

Anywho, on the way to civilization, Yi and I rode an ordinary bus. It was a Sunday, so public transpo is much easier that day. I love the way the wind was blowing on my face (good thing my hair was in a bun, I couldn't say the same thing for Yi). I enjoyed the fast ordinary bus ride. :D
After that we rode the MRT, my first time riding it on a Sunday and it is a far scenario from Saturdays and needless to say on weekdays.

I rode a taxi after the MRT that would take me home to take a shower. After taking a little less than fifteen minutes of bathing and changing, I rode another taxi to Greenhills. Everybody were already texting me because I was running late as per our meeting time. I said I'd be there at around 10 and the time was closing in to 12.

When I got there, I thought we were already going to have lunch but I was proven wrong. So, I just went with their flow. I went to look for the pairs of shoes that I wanted but apparently, no one was selling them anymore. Much to my chagrin. After such disappointment, I have this extra money because I wasn't able to buy the things I have planned to buy. That was easily settled when Sarina and I came across this convertible dress. Which I have always wanted since I saw it a year ago in Singapore, only it was too expensive and said style weren't still here in the country.

Sarina and I found the rest of the family in the expo that was happening that day. My father bought this stamp album full of old stamps. He also bought this knife for eating beef which unfortunately, I don't know what it is called. He also bought old Philippine currency, e.g. currencies in the Japanese era. My mother bought this old telephone with the old rotating dials not knowing that the seller of the jukebox will be giving us one when they deliver the jukebox later that same day. We ended up with two of the old telephone and I am not complaining. :D The twins bought old coca-cola cards. Sarina and I asked our father to buy us these supposedly meteor rocks. They were supposed to be rocks that came from meteors, well I have to admit I am not entirely convinced but just for laughs or for novelty's sake we made our father buy us some. :D

Anyway, we had lunch at Gerry's, much to my dismay. Hahaha. Not that I don't like Gerry's, I love their pork sisig, but I would have wanted to eat at Burgoo or try something new. But it was not my call. So, we just enjoyed eating there while it is drizzling or probably raining all over the city/metro.

I was already getting worried about the delivery of my father's jukebox because of the water fall.
But he was all "do not worry, it would be alright". After lunch, I thought we were heading home. Only to be told that we're still waiting for the Wii. In all honesty, I am not interested with the Wii and it pisses me off that I have to pay for my share. So we waited for the Wii and it turns out that we have to wait for it for the rest of the day. I just went to the food court and read parts of "Catching Fire" and have some chat with Sidney and Sarina.

My father had to go home and attend to the delivery of the jukebox and just go back to Greenhills later that day. I wanted to go home already, but my mother decided to hear mass there. I wasn't mentally prepared to go to church that day and it just frustrates me. There are just times, which comes often lately, when I am reluctant to hear mass. I've explained the status of my faith and my religion in one of my previous posts.

Anyway, after securing the Wii, we had dinner at Burgoo which kind of but not entirely compensates for the crappy afternoon. After dinner, we spent a whole lot of time getting out of the parking lot because there is much delay in that place's parking system.

Later that night, my sisters feasted on the jukebox. Sarah couldn't seem to part with it and Sidney likes to operate it. Christel was there for the hype and the singing and her dancing. :D
My father was so happy about it. :D

And there goes October 9, 2011. And yes, it is pretty much a long entry compared to my normal snippets. :D
