An Account of the Weekend

Had a busy weekend…

Lanie went to the house to give Molly a flu shot. Molly cried which signaled the adults to entertain her with – an ice cube, her stuffed quack-duck toy, non-sense talk, etc, etc….

We had an IT party last Saturday at Sharyn’s house. Ava, our boss, sponsored the party. It’s been a while since the group went out and partied so I think most of us had a good time. There was a lot of food, drinks, Sharyn and Jens were (as usual) great hosts, Robert of course took charge of videoke, Lyn sang Alanis Morisette songs, the girls (Ava called us piranhas!) had their own entertainment – asking the boys to dance, and Mami Joyskee was there and we had a lot of laughs (di ba Edward?)

Since I didn’t get my license last Friday (4-day work week nga pala ang govt offices) and Rod attended a company outing, Chris drove the car. On our way home, we had a flat tire. Buti na lang we were still near Sharyn’s and she sent Mang Boy to assist us but still Chris took charge of changing the tire. Thanks Chris!

Sunday – we started the day by eating party leftovers. Masarap pa di naman. Then we, Molly, Rod, Ate Tata and I, went to Baywalk. Daming tao but I had fun watching the people – there’s free aero classes joined by fat and slim people, young and old; families were jogging, having picnics, walking their dogs, some were wading in dirty water, old folks were fishing, etc. I also watched 3 teams rowing but in one of the boats, I saw one of the guys na nagtatabo ng tubig from the boat at wala pa silang life vests! Hmmm… Now I am having second thoughts about asking the team to go rowing at the bay.

At home we had a little episode with Tita Lita and the maids – Mama to the rescue. This was resolved by 11am just in time for Rod and I to attend service in church. We prayed for peace at home and protection of Molly. After service, we passed by our favorite Iranian carinderia to buy some authentic Iranian food – shawarma, spicy beef flavored with turmeric and curry rice.

Papa, Becky, Juaf and Foncy were in the house when we got back. We went with Becky to the grand opening of the derm clinic in P. Gil.

The kids, Becky and Ma and Pa left at around 5pm. Molly took her afternoon bath and slept until around 730pm. Rod had weekend duty and left by 9pm. I asked Molly – “sinong love ni Molly?” to my delight, she said, “Ma-ma.” That’s me! I was so happy that I didn’t want her to sleep on her crib so she stayed with me on the bed, had quite a long wonderful sleep. : )

Twas a busy weekend indeed…

P.S. Rod, my husband, might be reading my blog for the first time – so I want to say hi to him. (mush!) Hi, JTB!
