aweSoMe Weekend
Friday, October 20
For the first time since Dionne and I got together, our text messages got delayed when it mattered...
Dionne rides the LRT from Libertad while I ride at Buendia. Instead of going to Libertad, I would usually wait for her at Buendia. She would then text me what type of train she was riding (silver or not), how long (for non-silvers, either short or long), which door, and which side she was in (left or right). For years, this system has not let us down. But last Friday, the messages arrived after the train left.
Network problem? Phone problem?
Too dependent on technology? Nuninu.
Anyway, we just met at Tayuman station and walked to SM San Lazaro. Although it's already 7PM, we still went there for we had some things to take care of.
First order of business, our Smart Bro payment. We got our bill earlier in the week and were surprised to see that the auto-debit was not reflected on the bill. We talked to a representative at the Smart Wireless Center where we were assured that the auto-debit was still in place. According to their records, we don't owe them anything. Maybe the bill was sent before the auto-debit was made, she said.
Next up, dinner! Chef de Angelo wasmy our choice. We had oven-baked ziti and a classic hamburger. (Sorry, we forgot to take pics.) We were quite hungry but still had half a hamburger for take-home. Dionne wasn't her usual self as she didn't even have a bite of the burger! OK, she was still recovering from being sick for the past few days... Which has never been a problem for me. Hehe.
It was already past 8 when we were finished. Enough time for our final task:
Saturday, October 21
Busy day for me. Early in the morning, I had to go to my tita's office to deliver a special package.
From there, I had to get to Buendia by 10AM to meet Deyb and Jayne. We would be going to Neil and Nancy's house in Parañaque. We got there at around 11AM. Rodj and Sig were already there.
While the boys had a "meeting", the girls watched Princess Lulu. During the meeting, NBA Live 07 became part of the agenda.
At around 4PM, I left with Rodj and Sig. I was meeting Dionne at SM San Lazaro again.
I rode a jeep towards the LRT-Baclaran station. Not knowing where I was, I just spent the time reading. Man, it was far! It took a good part of an hour for me to reach the Baclaran area. As expected, the streets were full of vendors and the traffic was awful.
I got to the mall before 5:30PM and met Dionne at Booksale.
We first went to the cinema to get tickets for TXT. Screening was at 7:20PM. We then went to the baby's section to get a little girl a gift.
Dinner was at Yellowcab. Unfortunately, no pics again... We had the 10" #4 Cheese and Spaghetti and Meatballs. Pizza went poof together with the meatballs. The spaghetti would be today's merienda.
The movie was OK. Except for this very noisy man in front of us. At first, we thought he was just making those loud comments to impress his girlfriend. But when the girl went to the CR, he still continued talking! Tsk, tsk. Some people need to be taught some basic manners in the cinema.
After the movie, we went to Starbucks for a Caramel frap. Just like old times.
Sunday, October 22
We attended the 10AM mass at Espiritu Santo. Mommie didn't come with us because she and her amigas went to Manaoag yesterday and already had mass there.
From the church, we walked towards SM San Lazaro. (Striiike!)
This time, we just bought our groceries. I got the Pioneer Contact Bond for the loose plastic strip on my boots. It turned out to be a fancy name for rugby in a tube!
I was supposed to go to the gym today... (shhh...)
Instead, I spent the afternoon with my wife, which I would rather do than anything else.
We watched Shawshank Redemption. Nice film. Quite sad in some parts.
After the movie, Dionne finished the 2nd DVD of Angels in America, while I got acquainted to NBA Live 07. PC requirements are quite high. My laptop couldn't handle the graphics at the highest setting.
I tried playing it at the Rookie level. Although the controls are almost the same as that of the 2005 version, I'm still not used to the Superstar control. I'm disappointed that the back-down button no longer exists. How do I get Shaq to post up now?
Also, can anyone tell me how the freethrow controls work??

ay wala akong talagang comment except to say na am super amazed kasi you and dionne both blog talaga...
am sure most w@wies envy you guys that a little... here are all these wedblogs and marriage blogs but only the women are inputting :D
kisses to sis dionne pala! thanks sa birthday greetings and blog visit :)
happy weekend na din! *mwah*
faye, nakakalungkot nga yung part na yun. isipin mo ba naman, 50 years! paglabas mo, wala ka na talaga kilala sa mundo. *sniff*
qt, tama yun noh. =P di naman sila pair talaga. nagustuhan lang namin yung hush puppies, ang lambot kasi sa paa. tapos ginamit din namin agad. hehe! ang sarap sa paa. highly recommended.
pobs, sarap nga ng food sa chef. reasonable pa ang price. goal nga namin ngayon, matikman naman yung ibang dishes. lagi kasi kami classic burger eh. hehe!
mec, thanks for the complement. maybe it's just a matter of having the right incentive to contribute. if you know what i mean. ;)
nga pala. ako, walang kiss??
^^ just kidding, dionne. on both counts. =)
chef d'angelo pala ah... one of my officemates just finished a long process of discussions and negotiations with chef's management, which began when they found a whole C (you know what i mean) in one of the pasta meals that they ordered.
hindi ko naman sila sinisiraan, pero ang masasabi ko lang eh totoo itong story na to, kasi sa officemate ko talaga nangyari, at hindi basta galing lang sa isang forwarded email.
jovs, suggestion ko na lang kung babalik pa rin kayo, stick to the burger. ;)
malay mo benj, pati yung burger meron. di bale, sanay na naman ako sa coop noong araw. inubos ko naman yung giniling di ba? :D
i have the exact same hush puppies shoes. hehehe! :D
cool ron! :D
