Weekend

Saturday....
We didn't got to the doctor. Neo got better.
Yaya no show. Did laundry by myself.
Watched "The curious case of Benjamin Brown" on DVD. A curious movie indeed. Watch it!
Val attended the closing of the Colors of "A" Spectrum exhibit in SM North EDSA. He just took the MRT going there.

Sunday....
Val trimmed Neo's hair.

Lunch at Spaghetti House, Robinson's Pioneer. Cream of spinach for Neo, Gambasetti, Cannelloni with italian sausage eggplant and cream cheese, Four Cheese Pizza and bottomless iced tea for me and Val.

Grocery at Robinson's

Laundry

I never thought that doing laundry can be a herculean task. Well, this is me speaking (or blogging). When I was still single and living with just my sisters, we would just gather the clothes worn for the week and send it over to the laundry service. The pambahay ones were brought to Cavite to be done by Inday.

Laundry, no sweat.

Now that I have Neo, laundry has become a regular weekend affair. I cannot schedule any activity for Saturday morning until noon because I have laundry to do. I cannot stay so late waking up because, of course, there is Neo and there's laundry to attend.

And since, I am in the business of doing laundry for the little boy, sinasabay ko na din my clothes.

Val doesn't like my laba so he sends his bunch to Pretty Wash. Ano ba yan, di na nagluluto, di pa rin maganda maglaba! Hahahha!

Another herculean task ......... plansta.

Haaaay.

Our weekend

OUR SATURDAY

Laundry...
which we didn't finish because we had to prepare going to the pedia.

Pedia schedule...
where we were number 14 on the patient's list.

Everything is A OK for us and the little boy. Dra. Gomez administered the Hepa A vaccine on this visit. Neo cried, pero sandali lang. No concerns to discuss, only the usual update on Neo's developments. The dra empasized toothbrushing. Next schedule is on February for the mumps shots. Yey! we are doing so far so good!

And it went on again. Neo is afraid of elevators. I noticed this when he was about 10 months. He is restless during rides. On his 11th month visit, he cried. In November, he cried. This time, he didn't cry but he hugged me and laid his head on my chest, obviously afraid. I hope he will outgrow this soon.

Since it was already lunch time and Ritzie, our ride back, is not yet done with her thing, we went down to the food court for lunch. Ner had tapa and apple C2 and I got hungry hippo burger with fries and iced tea. Neo liked the french fries, he nibbled three sticks.

We were finally picked up by Val who excused himself from work because of a bad knee. Ner had another bad stomach attack. Sent her home shortly after we arrived at the house.

At past 4:00 PM Ritzie, Val, myself and Neo boy arrived at the venue of Renzo's 1st birthday party Marikina. The party host and Renzo's mom, Lisa, welcomed us at the gate. And because we are early, we were given advanced servings of mini turon! yum, yum! The food was so masarap (spaghetti, lechon kawali, fish fillet, embutido, fried chicken, bbq, lumpia, fruit salad and buko pandan) and the party was fun. SUMATRA nga lang heading there and going back. Val played photog again. Neo was awake throughout.

OUR SUNDAY

Because we had a long day yesterday, Neo and I can't seem to drag ourselves up early. I wasn't able to prepare anything for lunch so Ruthie just brought home chicken inasal. After lunch, I continued on what was left with the laundry.

We left the apartment around 3PM to go Ritzie's condo. She had to attend to something and while waiting, Neo got engaged with the kids and teenagers playing in the patio. He went after the kid's basketbal which was still too heavy for him to lift, but he tried and did anyway.

From the condo, we made a short stop at Chowking for halo-halo.

Before heading home, we stopped by Layers and Layers cake shop to place the order of my boss' birthday cake. At so short a notice, I was relieved that they still took my request. Cake to be picked up on Tuesday (around 7PM) just in time for the blowing on Wednesday morning.

Coming from a photo event, Val rounded us from the cake shop and proceeded to Pioneer Centre for our weekend groceries.

SIDE NOTES: Gravity Games was where Val went. It is a skateboarding event held at Meralco Ortigas. He won a pair of Tribu shoes by raffle.

Saturday, 06 December

I blog this as I take a break from my laundry -ing. Yaya is currently humming downstairs as she attempts to put the little boy to his mid- morning nap (I didn't want to be around making noises and disturb her endeavor).

Anyway, Mommy and Daddy were here this morning. They have a scheduled check-up with their doctors at the UST. Val will go to his friend's studio in Malate so on his way he will drop off M and D to the hospital. He will be late going home later because tonight is his office Christmas party. Ruthie is still at work from her shift last night. Ritzie has work too.

For lunch, we are going to have fried tilapia. I have asked Ner to pass by the palengke and buy us a kilo. This afternoon I am planning to start the scrapbook i have been really meaning to start noon na noon pa.

Got to get back to work. Nakatulog na si Neo boy :-)
