Well, for one, it wasn’t my usual Sunday except I still had
a hard time waking up at 6 in the morning just to get to church. :))
I finally got to catch up with my mentor after how many
weeks. And what turned out to be a “chat” turned into something else. I wish I
could tell you though but you know, there are some things kept in private. :P Seriously.
I wasn’t expecting anything bizarre today. But I’m glad I did wake up at 6 in
the morning. It was all worth it J

After church, the girls and I met up with Dad and had lunch
in BonChon. Oh please, if you haven’t tried it, you’re missing half of your
life! It’s very affordable though for high-quality dishes. Their bulgogi rice
and chops are a fave! The chap-chae’s good too but I’m not much of a fan of
noodles so I don’t appreciate as much as others do (my sister specifically). I
wanted to try something new, like their burger but Mom ordered already. Howel, I
shall explore it the next time I visit J
Of course, Sunday lunch won’t be complete without lavishing
ourselves with coffee and gelato in Café Ti Amo. It’s a really cozy and
laid-back coffee place but a lot of people go there too so sometimes it can get
too crowded and noisy. Yeah. It means it’s that good J Oh and there’s free wi-fi
too! My dad and my sister always order the waffle with ice cream (I’m not sure
what it’s called – affogato ba?) and I tried it for the first time with the rich
mouth-watering dark chocolate ice cream on top and man, it tastes like heaven!
I was hoping there was peppermint chocolate (my second favorite flavor) though.
There’s always a next Sunday anyway :P
My goodness. I haven’t overindulged for a looong time
already. Haha! I must lose these chicken chops and pounds of gelato over the
week! (Weh, 'di nga? Haha!)
We had a little walk around GB, and the girls bought
Christmas CDs (I do not know why they still buy CDs when they can just ask me
to download it on Torrent). Haha. Sayang pera.
And then we randomly decided to go play bowling (oh yez,
imagine I was with adults 46 and above and my sister of course). Shocking
right? Me, playing a sport? I used to
think, is bowling even a sport? Haha. But hey ah, it’s hard to perform the
proper approach and delivery of both the footwork and handwork. Aaaand besides,
I have duckpin bowling for PE this sem, I don’t wanna look stupid you know. :))
My Lola used to be a professional bowler but she stopped 10
years ago. When I was little, I used to tag along and watch her compete. She was tad awesome. She tried
one frame earlier (note, she wasn’t even wearing bowling shoes and is SEVENTY
YEARS OLD and has a knee injury) and she was able to hit 9 pins. She is SEVENTY
years old. SEVENTY. Nakakamangha lang masyado :))
In all fairness, my game was fair enough. I had two strikes,
so I guess I’ll manage :)) Kamille (my sister) and I wanted this to be a
regular Sunday thing – bowling instead of pigging out. :)) It’s healthier
somehow, right?
We didn’t stay for long because my Lola had to go home early
because she has another gimmick. Tell me about cool. :))
When we got home, the house started singing “Merry
Christmas.” There was already a fresh pine tree decorated at our sala, with angels and silver balls everywhere. And I caught my cousin cooking turkey for dinner.
For at least an hour, I felt like I was in America. :))
So apparently, we had a thanksgiving dinner, with turkey
served of course. :) It’s sad though the family wasn’t complete today. But it’s
fine. I had a great time with them anyway. :)
And I guess I’ve been really learning to enjoy my time with family and value each one of them, regardless…
:))
