The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

This vacation has been feeding my lazy bones… making it stronger. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to go back to my own busy self. Majority of my day is spent sleeping and when I’m not sleeping, I’m eating. When I’m in my full conscious self, I am most likely watching TV. The days here in Bicol are rainy and the nights are cold. The weather is a bit like in Tagaytay. But the sun came out today. We’re planning to go to Mayon Resthouse after lunch. First day I ever saw the sun come out. The days here have been like in the Twilight book… always raining… always gloomy. Great place for vampires. I think I really need to go out. I am starting to think vampires are real. I’m almost done with the fourth book, Breaking dawn, by Stephenie Mayer.

My friend stopped by to give me her wedding invite. I am so happy for her. She’s one of my bestfriends. We have the same birthday. Zoie will be one of her flower girls at the wedding.

We have two pups here. Yesterday, one of them fell asleep in my arms… like a baby.

It’s Monday. I now have no concept of time.

Merry Christmas!

It’s been a while since I was able to post in this blog. The past weeks have been chaotic. Our trips to the hospital because Zoie was sick and I almost lost my mind because she had on and off high fever. Then there’s my infamous booty shaking at our Christmas party. Thank goodness, hubby wasn’t there or else… Our party was okay only that the boys messed up their presentation and our officemate dislocated a knee bone practicing a dance step. Before that happened I never knew anyone could dislocate a bone doing a fairly simple step. Oh oh one wrong step and ooopps… better be careful. There are also things that I can’t blog about or I’ll be cold turkey or lechon for that matter. Bwahahahha. And now… oh it feels sooo good to be home. The last time I was in Bicol was when I had a shoot last July and wasn’t even able to sleep or get a glimpse of our house. I only saw my parents at the airport. Here we are… at home. Although I didn’t drive the car, I had the gall to sleep and rest the day out. Hahaha! Happiness! I saw my pets plus two new puppies. I ate jackfruit. Every ulam is sooo tasty. Even my daughter had this glow on my face. Although I do have this annoying thought in my head that pops up every now and then, I’m sure this will disappear soon enough. Tomorrow is another day and I wonder what we’ll do. There’s cable here and even our Smartbro broadband is fast because of 3g. I know it’s weird. We don’t have cable in Manila because we’re parents. We’d like to filter what our daughter’s watching. There’s no 3g at our area. Our TV zonked out before we left. It doesn’t have sound. Our microwave just gave up so we’re looking at buying a new one soon. Hubby got new mags for his car though and that made him very happy. I only gave him skull candy earphones. I got this notebook, don’t forget. So far, Christmas had been great.

lookie here! unlimited kisses!

Gumbo

Wow, again I found myself eating at Gumbo, the restaurant that serves "African American" food. This was where my friends and I wore those goofy hats. Here's the food that i ate and didn't eat.

The big brown one is fish. I liked the ribs. The rice had parsley on top so it was "delish" also. The honey chicken was okay. Roasted zucchini i didn't like. Lasang lupa. It's not as if I eat soil ha. The roasted mushroom looked scary but I ate it anyway. There were shrimps on skewers also in this platter but there's no way anyone can make me taste it. I heard it was superb though.

Stuffed crab. This one i didn't touch. I don't want a slow and painful death. But they said it was delicious.

We also had fish and chips... on the house! The chips were actually tasty french fries and the fish was enormous. It looks the same as the one on the picture - that big brown thing at the center of the platter. We had soup or they had soup. It was served inside a bread just like at French Baker. Good thing it didn't appeal to me. It was crab chowder!
