Lola Day

Today was another "lola" (grandma) day for me with my good friend Tracy. Ha-ha, we call it our "lola" day because ever Saturday we always meet up either to go the gym, go to the parlor, shop, eat out and of course the never ending chismisan (chit-chat)....This is normally my day away from hubby....

I fetched her at around 2 pm and then we went to Rockwell to watch a Tagalog film "One More Chance". While she was paying for our tickets, I was buying our popcorn and drinks. Butter popcorn for her and cheese for me. I just looove cheese popcorn .

We really wanted to see this movie not because we were fans of the actor and actress but we are really suckers for any good old romance movie.. Overall this movie was great except for the ending. It was very realistic and not too cheezy which is very rare for Tagalog Romance Movies. It just goes to show that in any relationship, giving each other space or time to be alone as very important for it to last long. Controlling your partner will never work and will only lead to the other party being suffocated.

After the movie, we had our manicure and pedicure at Beauty Bar. Highly recommended at a very affordable price. I love seeing my nails so clean and buffed. I just miss having nail polish since this is one of the things my doctor prohibited me from using until I find one that's organic as well .

My quest to find new shoes is still futile. Oh well, there's always tomorrow...

Dinner time, met up with a couple of our friends and had our chika time. Went home at around 10 pm because I was a bit tired after waking up at 8 am for my blood test.

Tomorrow, Ricky and I will be having our usual date. Hmmm, I wonder where we'll be going ?

Yahoo, Finally Got Out of The House!!

Yes, my driver was still absent yesterday but hubby was around. We decided to go out and watch a movie at Promenade Greenhills.

We watched "No Reservations" and I really liked the movie. I cried several times while watching it because I really pity the child when she lost her mother. It was touch seeing her go through adjustments in living with her aunt who she doesn't really know that much. The adjustments on both the aunt and the niece was really tough. Although its a romance movie, the romance part I felt was just on the side. It was still cute nevertheless but I think it was more of the story of the aunt and the niece. Anyway, I still liked the movie.

After a tub of popcorn, a pack of M&M's peanut and water we still decided to have an early dinner at Cibo. This is actually one of our favorite restaurants. We ordered our usual white grape juice, a pizza and beef tenderloin. It was yummmy....

Bought a couple of In Style back issues and the most important purchase was my anniversary gift for hubby. We are celebrating our 4th year anniversary on Friday. I'm also excited because we'll be spending 3 days in Tagaytay.

Anyway back to my gift, it's a coffee syphon. Its another kind of coffee maker, if you've been to UCC then you'll notice its something similar to that. He was the one who requested this and I really don't know what will happen to our regular coffee maker.

Oh, well....

Watched "Wedding Daze" and Bought My Bath and Body Works Stash

My husband and I were once again at Greenhills to watch a movie.

We watched "Wedding Daze" by Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher. I found funny, cute and heart warming movie. The movie tackled the possibility of meeting "the one" across a crowded room, fall in love and get married. I know this might seem fat fetched but the romantic in me feels that this is indeed possible.

After that I went to the V-Mall area of Greenhills and bought my regular stash of Bath and Body Works lotion and bod splash. This time I got the green clover scent for the lotion and winter candy apple for the body splash. I just love Bath and Body Works and how I wish that we have a store here in the Philippines. I also want to buy the shampoos and conditioner but I have to wait for my relatives to go here or when I go visit the States again.

Another topic, my new Cook. Hmmm, I don't know if she's a good one though. So far the food she has cooked were just the typical type, so I'll just give her a week before I assess if I'll change her. Good thing I didn't have to cook because my new cook came on the day my old cook left. Good for me.....

Another update, yes that part of our messy room is still messy until today. Why, I needed to buy some hooks and organizer for my bags. I'll share that in my next post....

Watched a Great Movie Today

Oh today was a much lazier day for me. Again, I woke really late like 11 AM because I got engrossed in watching one of Reese Witherspoon's movie in cable. I don't know the title of the movie but the story was she pretended to be the perfect man for her Mom. I ended up watching until 4 AM. Whew, I had a headache afterwards.

After lunch, my husband invited me to watch a movie. So we went to the mall and we decided to watch "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry". Since the movie was at 5 PM, I decided to drop by Gourdo's and did some shopping. Here's a link to my other blog regarding my shopping.

Anyway, Chuck and Larry was such a funny movie. I also cried in some of the scenes, oh well I easily cry on anything. I'd recommend this movie if you want to have a good laugh.

So, again because I had a busy day I was not able to take care of the replacement of my cook. I promised myself I'd do this tomorrow :)

Oh, I have another project tomorrow as well, to fix this part our room. That's one corner of our room that's really messy. Those are the bags that I frequently used, a basket stuffed with junk and some clothes that needs to placed inside my cabinets. My maid can't touch that part, it has to be me.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day :)
