I love this new pink boots that I got for Hermione, and I'm quite sure she's in love with it too. Since she's wearing it almost everyday, even at home. I'm glad that I chanced upon this during our visit to the mall because I needed to spend the GCs my husband gave me last year before they expired.
Is my scale broken or what? It registered that I'm only 125 lbs. Meaning I've lost 5 lbs already, maybe the 2-hour twice a week badminton game that's been killing me for weeks now has finally paid off. My father even hired a trainor for me and sign me up (without my knowledge) to join their tournament this December.
Also, the less red meat and sweets diet helped. I'm targeting to shed another 5 lbs by mid December, I want to surprise the husband of the new and improve version of me when he goes on vacay on January.
What's with me this week?!!! Imagine me denting the car twice and the week has just begun. Last Sunday, I went out to do wedding coordination stuff. After being nominated to drive for the girls to Manila Hotel, I hopped inside the car, then as I started the engine, I checked on my mirrors and started reversing the car. Then I heard a "bang" that made my heart stopped, OMG! there was an owner-type jeep at the back of my car. I cannot hail myself outside the car, afraid of checking the damage I have done to the jeep and to my car...but I needed to do that, so I braved down the car and held my breath for a second, nothing really happened to the jeep, as in "NAH" but my car has a couple of scratch, my head begun to wonder on what will I tell my husband...after wrecking our car just last June, here I am again on the same parking lot....I really hate SMC!
But I have to compose myself since I will have to drive ourselves to Manila, that thought made me cringed, how am I going to go there when I cannot move the car safely out of the parking lot? and out to the busiest place in the country - my mind was already dreading the thought of driving to Quiapo - OMG! OMG! OMG! But the whole team is counting on me, so I took a deep breath and forced myself to the driver's seat. A couple of twist and turns and I find myself being greeted by Manila Hotel's personnel. Of course, I had valet service for parking.
I cannot let go of what happened, it was like a ghost that's hunting me the whole day. When I inspected again the dent, there were no really serious damage except for the paint and a long scratch on the rear bumper but still I will have to shell out for the repairs. My husband will kill me...
And just a few minutes ago, I decided to grab a burger together with my little girl, her yaya and our househelp. I decided to do front-facing parking since I was alone in that side of parking lot. After spending nearly an hour eating we decided to go home, the parking area was full this time and pushcarts were all lined up near my space. And since I've parked facing the wall, I had a really hard time maneuvering my way out, as in "drive-reverse-drive-reverse" kinda of situation. I was tempted to yell but I was with my darling daughter then a man came to my rescue when he noticed that the lower side of my car bumped into the gutter....I inspected my car and there was a dent, ohhhhhh not again! He volunteered to drive the car out of that mess, I was hesitant but he seem nice so I just hand over the wheel to him so we could go home.
I'm seriously thinking of getting that darn car reverse sensor, it might do the trick right? Or I will allot a day practicing maneuvering the car in tight spaces. Haysss. Hope the car-denting will stop today.
What is it about weddings that I like? Hmnnn Well I love seeing the bride walk down the aisle, that is my favorite part of the wedding (it's so dramatic) but since I'm mostly in-charge of the reception coordination, I seldom get to enjoy that scene.
Way back 2006 I started the Wedding Outlook with my good friend K. I didn't plan to be a wedding coordinator, I literally stumbled into it.. For a year we didn't accept wedding coordination jobs, I was so busy with work and mommy duties.
Yesterday I pitched-in to do on-the-day coordination for my friend K's brother, it was a big wedding I must say with 400 guests and most are really VIPs. It was a tiring day for me and I was distracted the whole day since I cannot really get over me hitting an owner-type jeep before going to Manila Hotel. All because of me being careless again. But all in all, it was a nice time to bond again with my friends from the office who also volunteered to help out.
Next year, I will decide if I will pursue with Wedding Outlook.
I can almost smell Christmas...and feel it! Of course who wouldn't? With all the Christmas Sale here, there and everywhere and one of my much-awaited once has already started -The KIDZ KRAZE WAREHOUSE SALE. My friends in my ex-office shall be going there on Saturday. In preparation, I did some inventory of the toys and gift items still in our storage room, I cannot go overboard since I'm thinking of going elsewhere next year. I'm already done with my Christmas List. My mom is going to Divi, I wanted to go but I'm not to sure since my package from the U.S that I ordered online is coming this week, so I might as well get hold of my shopping trips until I'm sure what it is still I needed to buy.
I'm feeling Italian today so I cooked Rigatoni and Penne Pasta in Tomato Meat Sauce, I'm not sure how to call it so I had to spell out the ingredients that goes with it. My cardiologist advised me to take it easy on food with high cholesterol and sugar content. So I had to say goodbye to my favorite dishes including Royce, ohhh I'm gonna miss Royce, Mars and Coke hehe. Aside from that, since I passed my stress test with flying colors yesterday, she didn't prescribe me medication yet but exercise and diet. Well well well, I needed to take care of my body because I'm not getting any younger and I want to see my Hermione on her wedding day, with that I will surely follow the doctor's order.
