today was a day of pretty much seeing old friends.. :)
it started with meeting up with one of my dearest friends, christine aka "friend" and her family at glorietta mall.
but first i had to go to philippine airlines to get our tickets issued for our trip to boracay on monday.
oh my gosh. almost 2 hours later, i walked out with them. i guess i forgot how EVERYTHING takes SOOOOO long here.
anyhow, it was a headache and i confess, i shed some tears when i got back inside the van from all the grief the sales agent lady gave me whilst my LONG stay at the PAL office. ugh..the joy...
anywhoooooo.. :) ... we met up with our friends and it was so cool to see her with her family of 4 now. when we left her and her hubby just got married! we ate together at TGI FRIDAY'S, where her sister, suzette, joined us (suzette came and visited us for a week in estevan once!!) and then we walked thru the newly built sections of greenbelt in makati..wow.. so crazy how things change!
we then went SHOPPING again, this time to glorietta and landmark..altho this time rosie and i went off together and caleb and j went off.. we were gonna meet back at 230. well, my poor daughter, while standing in line to pay for her new flip flops, got her first "pinch" from a lady in line. you see, philippines are always mezmorized with "americanos", if not for their fair skin and long noses, then their blond hair...all of which my daughter has. so mother bear came out.. :) .. rosie jumped back, as it did hurt her poor cheek, and i riffled off in tagalog how i thought it was rude of her to do that. the girl kinda gave me this smug smirk, that made that "fighter" inside me go up. so i stared her down, until she said, well she's beautiful. and i retorted, you don't see me pinching you do you? and then she quickly submitted and turned away sheepishly. rosie, looked at me, smiled and never let go of my arm, from there on in. :) nothing like a pinch to instigate some mother/daughter bonding.. :)
and by the way, regarding the shopping - day 2 of not being able to find anything for me. argh.
we got home and then headed out to the church for a banquet at the church for the founding members ofthe church jonathan and his dad and another pastor founded 10 years ago, that his dad is still the head pastor of. talk about memory lane...whoa! the familiar faces were so many!! it was really cool..
so ya..that was today..
