My long weekend started officially at 7PM Friday night.
I went to Plaza Singapura to buy two scrapbooking mags which I am thoroughly enjoying up to this day (Baby Moments and Sketches). After this splurge, went home, ate dinner of rice and longanisa. I was still high due to my purchase and finished one layout. I stayed up until 1AM. Pre still out from bowling and from a night out with his friends.
The thing with this late night scrapbooking spree was that I was on a fasting starting at 12AM for my glucose tolerance test the following morning. Whoa! I never really thought it was that hard not to take a sip of water. But, it was! That's why, the next morning at Thomson Medical Centre, I was literally dying of thirst and hunger. Don't even begin imagining how to fast until 11AM when you're pregnant. (But, my scan proved that my baby was also thirsty and hungry. During the ultrasound, she was opening her mouth and trying to suck the placenta hahaha BTW, she's now 1.2kg wahhhh dambuhala na naman!) That's why, that afternoon, after eating brunch for me and lunch for the rest of my household. Pre, Dawter T and I took a long nap. Then, had a videoke session c/o the cds of Tita Chocnut. (Dawter T now knows how to sing the first line of I don't want to be lonely *pap para pap para pap para pap para* --- yun lang po alam nya!).
Sunday came. We ate breakfast at home then went to the 1130AM mass at Christ the King church. Afterwards, we went to Dawter T's ninong A's house to celebrate a big event in their lives. It was not our circle of friends but nevertheless had so much fun. We saw pre's cutie inaanak then ate a delicious feast of Sinigang (which pre liked so much), buttered shrimps, crispy pata and fried tilapia! Hayyy sarap! Dawter T had a blast playing alone (since the older kids tagged her as naughty) with her Ate A's kikay toys. Funny because when I fetched Dawter T from the room, one kid was so happy that she was leaving. "She's so gulo-gulo!", the kid informed me. Haha!
We called sister C and Ate A. Told them to meet us at Bishan MRT. We are taking them to dinner as thank you for bearing for the last week's event in our household. We went to Great World City Kenny Rogers as I was craving for Mac n Cheese. Happy to say I didn't eat any. I was still wary because of Andi growing too big inside my womb. I only ate the chicken and brocolli/cauli mix. I gave the mac n cheese to Dawter who happily finished it off. (Her favorite since it's also Baby Bop's fave!)
Monday was rest day. Pre, Dawter T and I woke up at 10AM. Ate breakfast then watched a little TV. I started lunch, tried out papa's chicken estofado recipe. But, pre was not able to eat as he was scheduled to go to work at 1PM. After lunch at 130PM, I managed to pursuade Dawter T to sleep. We slept until 5PM. Saw that pre was already home and eating. He didn't like the estofado as it was sweet for his taste so he volunteered to cook dinner. He did his version of Pinaupong manok while we watch CSI vcds. It was good though salty.
Sister C and I were both grumbling about how short the weekend was. It was but nice to have the familiar feeling when just last week, our lives were turned upside down. I gave my thanks to God for everything normal that had happened. And, feel so blessed with all the people that I love. Sure looking forward for the long Vesak Day weekend.
Hope your weekend was great too!
