Restaurant Blog

My friend and I shopped for one whole day. She suggested we ate at this steak house she saw on the internet. We tried it out and it was great!

I checked out the site. It is really good. It has descriptive reviews, mouth watering pictures of foods, guides on how to get to the restaurant and the prices of the foods.

I placed a link to the site in my sidebar menu.

Christmas Message 2007

This is the Christmas e-mail I sent to friends this year.

It's Christmas once again. Many people joyfully wait for this time of the year to renew old ties and strengthen new ones.

Let us always keep in mind that Christmas is the time to celebrate God's love as He unselfishly shared His son to live among us and be our redeemer. We can never repay this great privilege as our desire to praise and honor Him is also born out of the grace He showers upon us.

Our sincere gratitude can only be manifested by maximizing the gifts He gave to us. May we give glory to God in the way we live our lives.

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

Simbang Gabi

I attended only three simbang gabi this year. My excuse is so many things to do. One mass stood out in my memory.

The priest radiated the aura of a loving Lolo with a big booming voice. The first thing he said on the microphone was that the choir is present at every mass to lead the people to sing. ALL should sing as practically everybody knows the song "Joy to the World." Having said that, he made everyone sing the entrance song again! Everybody was surprised and complied.

My Niece's Birthday and Shopping

Since I was employed by my current office, my mother felt that I have more than enough money for the whole family! It is most probably because I am such a show off. I really don't mind spoiling them with food. They're also happy receiving a small amount of money they don't expect every now and then. Truth be told, they are really so easy to please. They sincerely appreciate even the smallest things given to them.
It was my niece's birthday yesterday. However, as it was a school day, my mother chose Saturday to treat her eldest granddaughter financed by me. She planned that I should spend for my brother's family's lunch and snacks in a mall. I gave in.
The day prior to it, Friday, I was finally paid by my part-time job for the work I rendered! It was only a partial amount. On Sunday morning, I woke up early, ate a heavy breakfast, and prepared for a whole day of shopping. I was able to buy black and brown office shoes and bags, and a pair of sandals. As I haven't gone malling in quite awhile, I felt truly revived! The money I received from my part-time job went to shopping and for the birthday of my niece.
By mid-afternoon, i wanted to shop for clothes, rubber shoes and a lot of other small things more. After I lied down on my bed, I felt how tired I was. Hence, I stayed home.
How surprised my officemates were when I reported for work yesterday in my new stiletto shoes.
