among other things, the stupidest, if not outright shittiest, thing happened to me last night. i was out doing some grocery shopping with peejay. he was somewhere else and i was skimming the shelves for stuff to add to my cart. i bought an 800g can of pedigree dog food for my chubi and added it to my cart. you know the new carts that sm supermarket have? diba there is a portion on the carts where a child could sit while mommy was doing some shopping? i placed the can of dog food on that "basket" and continued shopping. a few minutes later, peejay sent me a message and asked me to add some colas. so i went to the soda shelf and i picked up a 2-liter cola. i was trying to arrange the stuff i've had on my cart in such a way that the soda bottles won't get crazy and roll on it's side. i didn't realize that the bottle hit the "basket". and that "basket" had two holes in it where the child's feet should go, right? so, the 800g can of pure, wet, heavy dog food fell off the cart. it landed square on my left foot. what's bad is the can's part that landed on my foot was either the top or the bottom part (i didn't care which one it is), so double the pain. it scraped some skin off my foot (eeooww!!), but it wasn't deep enough to bring blood. hell, i'm gonna cry my lungs out if i saw blood! so, i had to do the rest of my shopping limping away! the can hit the joint between the foot itself and the ankles and until now it's painful and swollen. so,
phoebe brought pistachios today!! yum-o! i really like them. aside from pistachios, i also like eating walnuts, but i don't get to eat a lot of walnuts kase the only time my mom buys walnuts is when she cooks this pasta recipe that requires walnuts. i also like almonds. my mom would send us a bag of almonds and instead of looking up recipes with almonds, my kuya would give half of the bag to my tita who bakes goodies and the other half would be consumed by us. hehe..
yesterday i tried using the curling spray i bought. sinubukan ko kung gano katagal maglalast yung curls. i finished curling my hair 11:30am. i had to take a bath around 5 or 5:30pm because pj had to pick me up pa. so, the curls lasted until i took a bath pero it's not as kulot as before when i finished curling my hair. the curls were not as tight as it initially had been, pero in fairness i love what it did to my hair. although sticky yung feel ng spray, ok lang. at leat my curls stayed. one downside though, i had to make lots of thin sections of hair to apply the spray. i haven't tried pa yung very ends lang yung curled. maybe i'll try it this week. pero all in all, i like the spray. it doesn't smell as bad as the other hair sprays. feeling ko pa ngaparang citrusy yung smell nya. i'm gonna try it out siguro later if i have enough time.
kanina, wiz and i went to sm north edsa to buy make up and accessories and pang landi for ghe's wedding in december. grabe it's been so long since i last went to sm north edsa. sobrang di ko na nakilala. sobrang laki ng difference kaysa dun sa dating north edsa na alam ko. siguro it's been like, 5 or 6 years na yata akong di nakakapunta dun. oh, wait. i remember na. the last time i've been there was when my dad got confined sa veterans memorial hospital nung na stroke sha for the second time. tolerable sha if lalakarin mo from veterans to sm. pero if magcocommute from there, siguro, mga three minutes max andun ka na sa sm. i remember dun kame sa sm kumakain ng tita ko, or with my mom, pag nagbabantay kame sa hospital. it has been that long. anyhoes, i went there kanina with my younger brother wiz. we met kuya there sa mcdo. we waited siguro for about 10-15 minutes before he arrived. he went there with christian and his family but they went their separate ways and kuya met us in mcdo.because he was late, and because pinupuno nya yung stickers for his starbucks planner, he treated us to starbucks. all three of us had dark cherry mocha. it was yummy. it tasted kinda bitter but it was because of the dark chocolate chips. it had no coffee in it kaya i like it. after finishing our drinks, we went to the department store to buy makeup. buti na lang i asked manet kung aling makeup yung maganda. the brand i use kase is cover girl, and most of it came from canada. this is the first time i'm gonna buy a local brand. well, except my lip balms and lip glosses. i bought maybelline eyeshadow, blush, concealer, foundation, lipstick and lipgloss. i got a free makeup bag from them. buti na lang i bought all my makeup from them. i spent just Php1,762.53 for everything. swerte ko kase i was able to get a 25% discount on all the items i bought.afterwards we went to the upper floor to buy accessories, and after paying for it we went downstairs again to buy hairspray and other stuff for my hair. the hairspray i bought is a l'oreal hot curl spray. primary reason: it is designed to work with curling irons and it makes the hair shinier. the lady said it will hold the curls but it will not look stiff. sabi nya it will make the curled hair bouncy. it was Php475, but it had a 10% discount. kinda pricey but i hope it was worth it.
nakakatuwa i got a lot of freebies. especially from l'oreal.
i also bought 3 makeup brushes. one big brush and lip brush from mistine and an eyelid brush. aside from fanny serrano's brushes, it was the only big brush we found that was washable and very soft to the skin. i got a 50% discount on the big brush and another 50% discount on the lip brush. the eye lid brush was around Php60.after everything we bought for me, it was time to go to ideal vision for my brother's prescription glasses. 50% discount yung glasses tapos he had a coupon for Php500. the total price he paid for a new pair of glasses was Php1,795. goofing around while waiting for our food @ shakey's..
we ordered deal #1 (or something..i can't remember yung exact name ng package) @ shakey's. it had your choice of chix and mojos or pasta platter, 1 large thin crust manager's choice pizza, and a pitcher of their own brewed iced tea. we added another large thin crust garlic and cheese pizza and christian bought a plate of mojos. we chose to get the 3 pc chix and mojos rather than the platter of pizza, but since there are four of us, we bought a plate of their chicken and pasta meal.
last night, peejay, me, manet, donnel, and coach ron went to lee's house in palmera VI to celebrate tyler's 2nd birthday. grabe, ang laki laking bata ni tyler. he is pj's inaanak. too bad i wasn't able to see my inaanak julian. huhu.. mejo matagal ko na di nakikita yun e. grabe, super traffic on the way to lee's. i wouldn't want to live there even if i have a lot of money to burn.
dami food..
we had spaghetti, pancit, fried chicken, barbecue, and yung favorite ko sa lahat, yung hotdog with marshmallows na nakatusok sa cabbage! i haven't had that for the longest time. ewan ko, there's nothing special about it, pero i guess aside from mascots, it would be the epitome of a children's party.
i wasn't supposed to drink pero tinikman ko lang yung tres cepas. masarap sha, in fairness. we didn't get to finish the entire bottle kase we had to go home agad
on my previous post, i said i spent my birthday in marinduque. well, here are the pictures.. i went there with my brother, peejay and our friend ryan.. wiz is working for asia brewery, so mejo traitor sha kase they drank red horse when we were there..
i haven't given him this picture yet. sabi nya he's gonna make this his wallpaper.this was what they had as pulutan in their first night.. i cooked hilabos na hipon and chicharon na intestine. mahirap sha iprepare pero in fairness, masarap sha talaga ha..hehe.. nakapagluto ako ng intestine.. pang matibay ang sikmura lang ng taong gagawa nito.. thanks kay ian kase sa kanya namen natutunan kung pano gawin 'to..wiz made seaweed salad. we were not supposed to make one, pero when we went to the market, he saw the seaweed and he said it's been a long time since he had this, so bumili sha.on my birthday, i cooked spaghetti and wiz cooked chopsuey. i love how wiz made the chopsuey. mejo tedious yung preparations pero it was well worth it. for my cake, peejay, ordered bibingka. yummy!!haPEE birthday!!! i had the food but not the drinks..
the next day, off we go to town and we bought pasalubong for all our team mates..outside the store was a no entry sign, but instead of just saying, NO ENTRY, it said something else. same thing for the NO PARKING sign. we had our picture taken, so there..there was also a welcome sign outside.
before we went home, peejay, wiz and i, ate in bfc for merienda. they had halo halo, i had mais con yelo, and we shared 1 whole pizza supreme.
home sweet home..this is where my siblings and all my cousins spend our vacations from when we were mere children until now. i wasn't able to get a picture of the other side and the bahay kubo out at the back. next time na lang yun. hehe..
