Oh, I’m soooo thrilled with this week’s free Friday food!!!
Oooohh lots of fruits and greens!
Devex treats us all to a free Monday breakfast and free Friday merienda every week. I always look forward to Monday breakfasts, but usually not the Friday merienda since they usually serve pizza.
This time, they served salad! Wooohooo!!! I got a good dose of grapes, pineapples, lettuce greens, carrots, and tomatoes. Sigh.. soooo good, though they call it rabbit food. LOL
‘Nuff said. I don’t go around shopping myself to death when I have money. Nor do I eat myself to death when I’m depressed. I don’t hang around in coffee shops and I don’t like to hang out in the salon.
Once in awhile, I go to shop for new items to wear, usually depending on the necessity. If I feel like I’ve worn the same clothes for quite more than often than usual, then its time I give in to the desire for shopping. But ooopps.. I’d rather not shop in the mall. Divisoria or Quiapo is the place!
That weekend was the worst I’ve had in months. Friday night, I had to accompany my honey while he was out playing poker with his officemates. Though I slept ultra late the day before, I knew he’ll be needing my help to safely drive home that night. Friday night (err, saturday morning), I got home around 2am. We had to wake up at 4am to prep for my sister’s UPCAT exam. It was though, but the family needed me there.
Mama and I accompanied our upcoming college family member to her exam area. From 6:30am, we walked towards the Shopping Center, then to the UP Chapel. We prayed for her goodluck in the exams then had our breakfast at Rodics. Oh, good old Rodics. Never fails to please my tastebuds! more…
I haven’t had the chance to take a summer break to go on a vacation. Been so busy with work, personal stuff and the wedding preps of course. I had tons of daily stress creeping up my back and its making me sick already (as in physically sick).
My honey has been experiencing more or less the same amount of stress, especially now that he’s moved into a new job, which is more competetive and challenging than his most recent work. Pressures from all aspects of our lives have been slowly pressing us down and we even barely feel that we have time for each other, although we see each other everyday as we go to work, have lunch/dinner and head on to other evening appointments at night before going home.
Sometimes, even the night’s sleep is a just a part of the daily routine. Its making me feel robotic, and routinal. I needed a break. We both need it badly. My take was to visit Bohol on a roundtrip experience. I imagined we could head out for an early saturday plane ride to Tagbilaran and head out to our favorite Powder Keg restaurant for breakfast. Maybe walk around the shore throughout the rest of the day or lounge around in the resort before heading back to Manila at the earliest flight schedule.
Well, Cebu pacific’s booking site wasn’t so cooperative. We opted to find a cheaper alternative of a weekend escape. My honey came up with the idea of going to Island Cove in Cavite. Well, we both haven’t been there, so it was worth the experience. The transaction was very easy, considering our busy schedules. We just needed to deposit half the amount of our total reservation cost, then pay the other half when we get there. Everything was done here in Manila via calls, emails and a bank deposit.
It was a good thing we didn’t have to go to Bohol, as there was still the storm caused by Isang. We left QC at 9:15am to head out to Cavite. We got there at around 11am. The ride was easy and light. We were both just ecstatic to take the break.
Island Cove was really an island itself. A very small island whose space was really maximized for such getaways. Though we had to tour the place with our bags on hand while waiting for our rooms, we visited the Animal Island first. They had trams to transport their guests from the Hotel to various parts of the island. They were electric, so the ride was a very nice experience. It was quite, full of nature and the sun was great that time. First stop was the crocodile farm. I’ve never been to one before and so I was greatly amused.
My honey felt the strong thug of the croc pulling his meal from the bait pole.
I am human.. awfully human, but end out seeing things the better way.
A techie person, but not much. I love to have a life, (though Im really just struggling to have one). I enjoy being with my family, my cat, and my closest friends.
I have had many blogs before, but none used to be a techie blog. Its because Id like to stick to my personal side and give my techie side a rest. I have a full time techie job that eats up most of my time; but still, I am an IT consultant at the same time. I take programming assistance and software programming or even project management.
