tgif & and the weekend

friday, sept. 15

after work, my husband & i went to meet our household in cfc for our very first fellowship. we had dinner at tianamen bar in julia vargas (all the food were yummy, thanks kuya fed for the treat!) afterwards, we went to aruba in metrowalk. the performers were paolo santos, pido & company. i was expecting to watch a great show but i was disappointed! although my hubby & i knew the songs, most of the audience could not relate to it. hey it's a friday, people want to have fun, dance a little, hear music that they can somehow sing along (even a little) with but the performers sang songs that pleased them which unfortunately the audience did not enjoy. you can see that they are enjoying the house music more than the performers' music . as i've mentioned, i knew the songs but of course you get affected when you see that the people you're with are not enjoying. we decided to proceed to starbucks to have a little chit chat before calling it a night. i honestly enjoy the company of our household, we are all in the same age range & of course, we can relate to each other's experiences. honestly when i was still in sfc, i could not talk about my relationship with my GG (God's Gift) that much because my "sisters" could not really relate since they are not in a relationship. now that we are in cfc, we can openly talk about these things.

saturday, sept. 16

it's the b-day of my not-so-younger sis jeng, hehe! i woke up at around 7am, read a little then went back to sleep. i woke up again at around 9am & decided to go to my siblings' new place. we just had a simple lunch together (jeng, jm & i) to celebrate jeng's bday. while having lunch, i was reminded of my father's words to me, he said that we (siblings & i) should not be fighting against each other because whatever happens we will have to depend on each other and that's what exactly is happening for several years now. when i came home (my husband is still not around, he fixed his car in their home), i watched tv for awhile then decided to jog around the block at around 5:00 pm. kokoy & i went to eastwood afterwards to watch a film. unfortunately, we were late for the last full show & so we decided to just eat dinner. we ate at heaven 'n eggs, we went out of the resto with full stomachs!

sunday, sept. 17

we heard mass in sanctuario de san jose in greenhills then proceeded to eternal gardens to visit the grave of my mother-in-law (since her bday was last sept. 13). everytime my husband & i visit my dad or his mom, we always have this talk on how our lives would be if my father & his mom were still alive. of course, we always tell each other that life would be easier for both of us and we always conclude that God wouldn't want it any other way because through that experience, we were molded into who we are now. we almost always conclude as well that those people whose parents are still around until they are settled are very lucky. my dad & his mom would never get to see our children but we know they will still be watching over them:) oh well, that's life. after the nostalgic eternal gardens episode, we had lunch & went to rockwell to watch "john tucker must die". it's a funny film and it somehow made our mood lighter. we're here right now in my in-laws place to have dinner and kokoy's sister asked me to make a ref cake for them awhile ago.

tomorrow, another week is about to unfold, sigh... i just love weekends that i could not wait for it to come again!
