Our officemates threw a baby shower for Rhoda who is in her last few weeks of being pregnant. Her due date is on the second week of December. Being a 'King', our lunch was Tapa King, background music was from OST of Lion King and the give-aways are keychains with Lion King picture. The first-time mom is so excited for the baby that she bought 'our' gift for her during the Mega Sale last month -a Chicco stroller. Wala tuloy kaming pekchur na kasama ang gift namin for her hahaha. Since in our office almost all of them are married and have kids already, they had plenty of advices and stories of giving birth to Rhoda. You can actually tell the age difference because of their stories about giving birth. Yung iba wala pang epidural nung nanganak dati. Ganon ka-tanda yung iba kong officemates!
Wedding - Friday
The next day we went to Tita Julie's daughter, Johanna's wedding, at Santuario de San Antonio at Forbes. The wedding was at 7pm so most of us here at the office had to leave early to have their hair and make up done. :) Ako hindi na, basta after office hours nagpalit lang ako ng damit dito at ako na nag-make up sa sarili ko. Okay naman di ba?
After the wedding ceremony at the church, I went home na with one of my officemates. Since I was sick days earlier I don't want to gamble and sleep late at baka magkasakit ulit ako. Truth is, it was only that day that I felt really well. Though I still had cough, my colds are gone and I don't feel sick na talaga. Al fresco pa naman yung venue for the reception - the Coconut Palace. My officemates told me the Monday after that they went home around 1am already.
Epoy's birthday treat - Saturday
We were supposed to meet at SM Mall of Asia at 6pm for Epoy's dinner treat. But Epoy was late going to Tric's place and Ja was late to meet us at Gateway so we ended up eating at National Sports Grill at Greenbelt3 instead. After dinner we went to Joy and Mek's place to play poker. Nagpasundo na lang ako kay Jay sa SM Bicutan at around 12 midnight kasi hindi ako pwedeng ihatid ni Joema coz he has work at 3am. Joema was the big winner that night kaso when we got to SM past midnight, there was a police car beside our car (with Jay and Papa waiting for us to pick us up). Sobrang takot ako kasi I know papagalitan ako ng tatay ko dahil pinag-intay ko sila at nasita pa sila ng pulis. I only found out the next day na kinapkapan pa kapatid ko, who's on the driver seat, and pinabuksan pa yung glove compartment nung kotse. I think they were suspected of trafficking drugs. Siguro maraming nagt-transaksyon sa area na yon kaya ganon. Buti na lang sumama ang tatay ko sa pagsundo kung hindi baka sa presinto na namin puntahan ang utol ko. Anyway, that was the end of night for us already. Backtrack muna tayo sa simula.
As I said, Ja was supposed to meet us at Gateway. Well, actually she was supposed to meet me at the Santolan LRT station and we'll meet up with Joema at Cubao. Kaso she was late so I told her we'll meet her at Gateway na lang. Ayoko naman mag-intay sa LRT station noh. At Gateway, we bought our gift na for Epoy and waited at Odyssey. Joema bought some Discovery channel VCD and I ended up buying nothing. Grabe super kuripot ako sa mga panahong 'to! Ja was stuck in traffic at Libis so we proceeded in going to Makati. Hay ang gulo-gulo pa nila kausap kasi while on the way they called us to let us know na Glorietta na nga lang ang dinner instead na sa MOA. Then when we were at Glorietta already they called up to ask kung andon na kami (with the hint na gusto ulit nila magpalit ng venue). Sabi ko pa kay Epoy baka gusto nila ng MMS na proof na nasa G4 na talaga kami haha =P. Yun pala gusto sana nila sa Rockwell kumain kaso nga dun na kami talaga sa Greenbelt. Nauna pa kami nila Ja don. Imagine from Antipolo kami pa yung naunang dumating e lahat sila galing sa south. Sows! Anyway, the food was great. Appetizer palang busog na kami. Halos di ko na maubos yung tenderloin steak ko. Buti na lang hinatian ko si Joema. Yun na nga after dinner we proceeded to play poker na.
Well, sila ang naglaro ako nanood na lang. Joema tripled his bet! Winner talaga! Niloloko tuloy nya sila na pinilit pa daw kasi sya na sumali. We were supposed to go home na kasi after dinner dahil gusto pa nya matulog before going to work kaso napilit din. Enjoy din kahit puyat at napagalitan dahil it's been a while since we last saw the guys. Ang next nito malamang sa wedding nila Jo at Bud na.
Divisoria - Sunday (pahabol)
Yes folks, I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. I only have to buy gifts for my family, Joema and a few of our inaanak. I'm done buying gifts for my young cousins, both sides of the family, a few friends and my officemates. Yey to me! Sayang lang inabot kami ng ulan dahil we were supposed to buy a Christmas tree and ornaments pa. Sa Dec 1 na lang balik sila Mama don. :) So that was my weekend. How bout you what did you do?
