Ordinary Weekend at Home

I didn't have the heart to go out last weekend. Who would when all you see on TV is the devastation of Yolanda? We stayed home all weekend instead. And, of course, took crappy photos using my cell phone.

(My mom borrowed my camera for her business trip to Baguio and Manila. Her camera kasi broke, and she didn't want to use her phone's and tablet's camera. Meaning, all that was left to me was my phone's 3mp camera. Haha!)

Anyway, here's how our thankfully-uneventful weekend went:

Playing with wires:

Yuri had a fascination with playing with the wires of our gadgets. I let him be because he's actually discovering what the wires' heads are for, where they go, etc. Oo, may future sa pag-memechanic. Why not. Chos! But seriously, he's been trying to insert wires into hubs since he turned 1. Disclaimer: He always plays with super close supervision and none of the wires are plugged-in.

Trying out Iya's (lola's) shoes:

Yuri, who has an unhealthy a morbid an intense fascination with shoes cannot resist trying out his Iya's kicks while she was packing her things before her flight.

Getting sentimental over a song:
Trivia: Yuri has always gotten teary-eyed whenever I softly sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Ang weird! I remember him crying over that song when he was just a few months old. Last night, we discovered a Youtube channel called Super Simple Songs. 

Guess what? They had a Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star video! We showed it to Yuri, and here are the stages of his reaction:

Stage 1: Fascination

Stage 2: Doubt

Stage 3: Getting crumply-faced and teary-eyed

Stage 4: Cry!

Suffice to say, I was very entertained for a few minutes. :-P

Ms. Universe 2013:

I also had to watch Ms. Universe 2013 as I do every single year. I wasn't able to watch the live telecast because, hello, 2AM = me soundly sleeping. Instead, I caught the replay on ABS-CBN. I decided that I am not a fan of Ariella Arida because she just can't speak. I'm not judging her smarts because she really is intelligent. There are also a lot of people who can't speak well in public (like me!), but in this case, she needs to speak properly. Case in point: jabs for "jobs" and uniberse.

My favorite candidate, based on my shallow criterion of physical appearance, is Ms. Switzerland.

Jollibee for lunch:

There was no one in the house last Sunday who was up for cooking. Everyone was feeling lazy - well, it was only me, my sister, and my dad. So I got some coupons from a Jollibee event and called delivery service. The food was good, as usual, but service was C.R.A.P. It arrived more than an hour after I called. When I followed up, the girl from Jollibee said na na-erase daw nya ang details of my order. What? So if I didn't call to follow up, wala talagang dadating na order!

Sesame Street Sunday:
Yuri and I spent the earlier part of the afternoon running around. Well, it was he who was running around and me who was sitting down and watching him. Hehe.
