Reason#1:
Inay's (paternal grandmother) first birthday after she passed on last April.
We observed this special day with a prayer and a meal. We had pansit (for long life =P) and lumpiang shanghai. Cathy's Kitchen contributed pesto cream cheese bruschetta and banana cake with chocolate chips. Both items got raves from my trusted (read: honest) samplers.
Jacob and Johann were getting bored and restless listening to praying adults. Here they are, confined in a room where they can amuse themselves.
Reason #2:
Kris' induction as a licensed guidance counselor.
Kris, my sister, passed the board exam for Guidance Counselors. She will take her oath today at the Manila Hotel. Out of 140+ examinees, only 88 passed.
I just read that there will be other practitioners who will be taking their oath, together with the successful examinees. That seems unfair.
Reason #3:
Vic's pasalubong a.k.a. advanced Christmas present.
I told Vic that I didn't have anything specific in mind. I am not passionately yearning for anything material. He just got me a designer bag last month. Though there are several things (cheapangga) I want to get, I am just not that hooked on acquiring them.
However, there is this one thing, my ultimate travel shoe. I have decided not to get it this year due to some future expenses (Baby #2's arrival, baptism and the holidays). Imagine my surprise the husband called me up to ask for the specific shoe model that I wanted.
So, here it is.
I can stop drooling from afar.
Thanks Hun!
