We veered off our usual Sunday routine because of the new baby and because we were too tired. Vic just "had" to go this car-club meeting, the same way I "had" to go to the Urban Bazaar at Rockwell.
While Vic was at the meeting at The Fort, the kids and I spent the morning lazing around. As soon as the kids woke up from their nap, we went to our Sunday lunch with my family in Marikina. They were dressed in the clothes they slept in. Haha. Marikina is my other home, if only I didn't have to go anywhere else, pambahay mode din ako.
I didn't bother eating breakfast after the big dinner the previous night, so I was famished. Apparently, Vic was famished also. He had three helpings of chicken bbq.
We didn't stay long. As soon as Johann and Daddy were dressed in identical F1 shirts, we hit our next destination.
First stop: Rockwell's Urban Bazaar
Entrance fee: 100
Items were mostly for the female market so it was a good thing that Vic and Johann weren't with me then. There were several versions of bag organizers, travel organizers, laptop sleeves, accessories, shoes and colorful tops from independent designers. I got a cheap necklace and several box organizers to be given as gifts. There was this stall selling pillowcases from Bangkok. They were selling it for P800 per pair. What a rip-off! I'd know because I purchased the same thing in Thailand for nearly a quarter of that.
Of course, since we are there already, we had to pass by Baker's Dozen for the frozen brazo. I wanted to see what they have at Royce but the line was so long. Vic said that it must be the free samples that is causing the long line.
We also made sure that Johann has a picture with Santa. Wouldn't you be scared too if you were made to sit on a hairy man's lap?
Second stop: FIL's house in Pasig
The employees from Vic's family business held their Christmas party there. I was surprised to see so many unfamiliar faces. Apparently, it was a joint celebration with the SIL's resto staff. Vic's dad did his signature "showering of blessings" several times. Some employees brought home P900, while others got P20.
We couldn't leave right away because Vic was asked to judge the group presentations. It was amusing to see them complete with costumes and props. It was a big deal since the first placers gets to take home 15K. We didn't stay long enough to witness the awarding of prizes. Javi was waiting for us.
We arrived home at 9PM. It was a long (but fun) day. Hope your weekend was the same.
