Stories from the Holiday

If you were one of the people who took a holiday yesterday, consider yourself lucky. If you were safe at home when the land shook Visayas, consider yourself blessed. Yesterday's earthquake seems like an eye-opener in so many ways, doesn't it?

However, I don't want to focus on the earthquake here. Instead, I want to talk about the happier things. In truth, I only found out about the earthquake yesterday afternoon. Why? Well, first, I got engrossed looking at photos of Yuri's different facial expressions from Sunday:

1- Touch your cheeks!
2 - Where's your nose?
3 - Show me your tongue!

After that, we got busy cutting Yuri's hair. There are no photos of the actual cutting because it was too messy and, well, Yuri didn't exactly give in without a fight. We cut his hair in the garden, while he was screaming bloody murder. But here are the results:

Hay salamat, he looks like a boy na. I've been so irritated about his hair for weeks; now, I can finally relax. Hahaha chos.

After that, I sat at my desk and got a little bit of work done. Yes, there's no holiday for the weary flexi-timer. Then, I was out for lunch:

Just one of the dishes I got to try out at Don Beppe at Gaisano Mall. I was there for an intimate lunch with the owners of Manang's Chicken, which will soon open in the city. Yippee! I will talk more about it in another post this week.

Then, I bought the sewing supplies my sister needed for her project, and, of course, I went for a little grocery-shopping:

Yay, I finally found affordable whole-wheat cereals! The brands in SM Lanang are limited, and all of them are not exactly cheap. I've been looking for a cheaper brand because I'm not sure Yuri will eat them. Sayang naman kung hindi rin makakain. This box of US-made whole-wheat cereals only costs around P86.

I also got a loaf of whole-wheat Gardenia bread with raisins. I checked out the bakery in Gaisano Mall called Cafe France, but they only have the big loaves, which cost P120. Eh si Yuri lang naman ang kakain (we eat rice for breakfast). So I got a small Gardenia loaf that costs P65.

If Yuri won't eat the cereals, I might eat them as part of a regular "diet." Tumataba na tayo ulit, kailangan nang bawasan ang pagkain. 

After I got home, I resumed working. Again, there's no holiday for the weary flexi-timer. So those are my stories from yesterday. How did you spend your holiday?
