My weekend in bullet points ;->

Saturday AM:
- We purposely stayed away from the malls this weekend. Still thinking of the Glorietta blast.
- Paolo still had classes this weekend because of all the holidays the past month.
- Went to the gym with Neil after our mini-tour of Valenzuela. Felt my arms ache. Not surprising since I haven't been able to go to the gym since late August.

Saturday PM:
- Chores! which included having shoes repaired, going to the grocery, then the highlight of the afternoon, drive-thru order for Krispy Kreme! reward for going to the gym. hehehe... ;->
- Church with the kids
- Dinner with family and friends

The dinner with friends was not planned at all. Dan just sent text that afternoon that he was bored, and would drop by the house that night. The one (Dan), became three (add Thad and Ben). Dinner was beef kaldereta, roast chicken, and kalderetang kambing. Dessert was Ben's gift of Go Nuts donuts (yum!) and our supply of krispy kreme (double yum!). Then after dinner, hot choco and coffee. And I wonder why I gained weight! aargh!

Just realized that my house is so often my friends' favorite hangout. Not that i'm complaining! I always enjoy the company, the good conversation, and of course, the food tastes better when shared with friends.

Sunday AM:
- It was our turn to be the guests. Brought the kids to San Mateo to visit friends for some fresh air, and good food! Each time we go there, it's just like a fiesta what with all the food prepared for us. Laswa (vegetable dish ala pinakbet), grilled fish (bangus), grilled pork, dried fish with ensalada, and pandan-infused rice! We went home in the afternoon, refreshed from the activity, the fresh, clean air, and the hearty lunch and merienda.

It was another weekend packed full of activities.
