It has been raining all week. Due to my experience sa baha the last time it rained so hard, natrau-trauma ako to drive home. I pray and pray na sana the rain would stop and wag na bumaha. Ayoko na maulit yung pinagdaanan ko na yun. Though, if I think about it, ako, somehow, okay lang umuwi ng malakas ang ulan given I have a car. This past week, I thought about each of my staff who commutes going home. Ofcourse kasama na diyan yung ibang mga commuters too. It must be difficult for them talaga. At least ako, I’m dry. Traffic and pagpigil lang ng weewee ang problem. Eh sila? I’ve experienced commuting ng umuulan and I swear sinumpa ko siya. Mabilis pa naman ako maawa sa sarili ko. Hahaha!
Anyway, just like what I said yesterday, please do be careful out there. Alam niyo naman dito sa Pilipinas, pagmay bagyo or malakas ang ulan, they cancel all classes. Mga students lang ang hindi na pinapapasok. All workers gorabelles lahat sa work. Immortal daw kasi tayo.
Make sense.
Charot.
This week has been a hectic one for me. What’s new? None. But just the same, allow me to tell you about it.
Last Monday, we celebrated my boss’s birthday. I had his cake made by my suki cake maker/baker, Cat of Tazzy Cakes. She’s the best. Nung start, I was telling her that I wanted a hard hat cake. I took photos of my hard hat and sent it to her. Two days before the event, I told her bahala na siya. Forget kako everything that I said. Siya na bahala sa design because she has never failed me ever.
I was so right.
Ganda ano? Cat is the best. Like she will always, always exceed your expectations.
My staff had this important 3 day seminar this week. Yung two days, this week siya ginanap. The third day, this coming Wednesday naman. Apart from work, I was also busy fixing everything for our visa application for our upcoming holiday. We went to the Visa Application Center last Thursday. We were there early and had to wait for Alvin and Ka Lydia so Anika and I were able to have breakfast together.
I did a booboo that day.
Two days before, I scheduled a walkthrough in one of our projects. I scheduled it for August 18. Around 1030am, after our visa eklaver, when I opened my phone (bawal ang phone inside the VAC), everybody was asking me where I was. OMG. I mistakenly set the walkthrough that Thursday instead of next Thursday!
Mamatay matay ako sa hiya!
I asked one of the managers there to go ahead with the walkthrough without me. It was really super embarrassing because they were all waiting for me. I apologized and apologized. In my 6 years in the company, first time ko magkamali ng ganyan. I swore to myself that it will never happen again. From now on, I will have all my schedules go through my admin assistant para wala na ako makakalimutan. With all the things that’s on my mind, I am bound to forget some stuff. Tao din kasi ako. Nagkakamali din.
Ang drama amp.
Today, I went to one of our projects to check on this new thing my group is implementing and to check on Toots’ unit.
Anika went with me and we had breakfast together. It’s one of my favorite things to do with her.. have breakfast together.
After, we met Alvin, Wowa and Toots in SM Aura. It was rainy so here’s what my unica hija wore:
Jacket: MANGO KIDS; Leggings; H&M KIDS; Shoes: COTTON ON
SM Aura is Pokemon Go heaven. There were so many Pokemons and ang daming nagpasabog ng lure!!! Anika and I loved it there.
Pokemon go kami ng Pokemon Go.
Jacket: NIKE; Skirt: SM DEPARTMENT STORE (bought for only Php 120); Sneakers: KEDS
Si Alvin tumatanda na ata talaga. Ayaw ako tigilan sa mini skirt ko. It never bothered him before.
ALVIN: It’s raining so hard outside and Nanay is in mini skirt.
ME: Haha.
ALVIN: Ang iksi talaga ng palda mo.
ME: I know. Mini skirt kasi talaga siya.
ALVIN: Anika, Nanay’s skirt is too short.
ANIKA: Yes Tatay. Mini skirt nga daw kasi eh.
Babe, let it go.. Let it gooooooo…
We had our late lunch at the Food Court of SM Aura. Wowa likes the Japanese stall there. I like the Yakitori One stall. I got different kinds of barbecued food. Napaka-sarap ng pinangmarinate nila. I read from their website:
We serve our japanese barbecue dipped in our special TARE, a sweet sauce made with mirin, sake, soy sauce and sugar. Each skewer is dipped in the Tare after grilling.
And this salad that I posted in Instagram that I wished was a Banana Split Ice Cream is really delicious too. This is from Craft Salad. I always order the same thing from there: Craft Prawn Ceasar.
Wowa looks like she’s not ageing.
Napagalitan niya ako kanina because my skin looks so bad. I really ought to take care of my skin more if I want to age like her.
Here’s us having merienda at Papermoon Cafe.
We shared their Mille crepe and Anika had their Strawberry Shortcake. Anika loves strawberries so she hogged the cake all to herself. Swerte ka na lang if makakuha ka. Hehe.
So that’s how my week went.
I’ll share my shopping loot in a bit =)
