s-caregiver day. :)
I had one of the most amazing days yesterday (or make that two days ago...Thursday).It was an all girls day out...which included namely me, my mom, and sis.
Since Cathe was stuck in her low paying [and hopefully not thankless] job (Haha! Just rubbing it in sis til I get my LRT card ;p), Ma and I went shopping at Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall...yeah...that mall. Since I am totally not a sun or heat worshipper and I hate commuting, I settled for some place near na lang. Bought a lot of things for myself...as in. That was fun. Hehe. =p I bought new school shoes (Ma insists), a new bra (instead of the pants Mama promised to buy me...so you can just imagine how I love my new bra. =p Oh...I'll get Papa to buy me the pants...his reaction: "Magkano ba kailangan mo?" Ka-ching! Ka-ching! ;O), some new white undies (haay...for school), and a new bag (na sobrang matagal ko na gusto...at may isa pa akong gusto...hehe). I'm just so grateful that I can buy most of the things I want now...thanks to Papa's [very thankful] new job. Oh...I haven't blogged about that right? Well...moving on to the next paragraph...
Papa left his old job for a newer one which does not involve solvents. I don't even know what the company's name is, but it involves spices...thus, Papa goes home smelling like all spice at times. =p Papa has too many reasons to leave his old job...but I prefer telling people that he has lost discipline from his old job (don't ask me to explain that here). Anyway, the new one pays kinda similar to the old one...but with greater benefits. Papa has a new SUV (the old company gave him Rex so we have three cars at home already), a new phone (it's a Nokia phone so I'm not naiinggit :p), a great gasoline and toll fee allowance (which is good because he works either in his office in Alabang or in Calauan, Laguna...gasoline alone costs a thousand a day...everything's reimbursed...no questions asked), and a soon-to-arrive new laptop (so I can use his old one na siguro? =p). Well, more than all those material things combined (my Papa's spoiled noh?), my dad goes home tired and sleepy and I barely see him (since I sleep in til noon and he goes out early...but weekdays are free now), but I know he's more satisfied than ever. Nothing beats that.
Anyway, back to my amazing day...
Since Ma and I had to wait for Cathe (she goes off work at 5:30ish...late talaga office clock nila), we ate muna at KR. Then more window shopping after. When Cathe finally arrived, we finally watched a movie...which was none other than...drum roll please...Caregiver (Haven't I given enough clues back there?).
I tried to hold back tears...as in. Haha. You know me...I'm always the teary-eyed after a movie (be it mababaw pa). Pero the movie's great. Benta yung kasama naming nanood na iyak ng iyak. =p The movie made me appreciate the fact that I have both of my parents with me. We may not be well off but it pays to have both of them here.
So there...malaki pala talaga yung newly renovated cinemas ng Sta. Lucia. Such a waste of space. =p The restrooms would have been better if they had it "sensor-ized" like that in Rob.
Went home late. Missed Lobo. Haha. So what? ;p
