almost two weeks in one post... right

ah, the thrill of doing so much... it's all coming back to me. :D

october 22 was enchanted kingdom day. naging bata ulit kaming apat nina mik, ate cissy and kuya omar. we rode all the "big rides," though i begged off when it was time for the space shuttle. i still hate roller coasters. >.< grabe yung rio grande. no one in our raft was spared. hindi halata sa pic, but we were drenched from head to toe. i was literally itching to take a bath... despite the rapid deterioration of the park (fading paint, murky waters, lousy food, small staff size, etc.), the experience was still enjoyable. pag bata ka nga naman... :P

nung october 27, we went to divisoria to do our Christmas shopping. akala mo ang mura na ng finds sa tiangge at greenhills. pag punta mo sa divisoria, you see the same stuff for half the price! shoving past hundreds of people, getting wet in a slight shower and riding the lrt while carrying everything we bought just added to the fun experience. ang saya! i'm definitely going back next year.

last saturday, grandma came home from the states. that evening, the five of us, along with two of mama's relatives, ate a rather expensive dinner in bocarinos, a restaurant in the new world renaissance hotel. we celebrated three things that night: mik's birthday, my parents' wedding anniversary and grandma's arrival. the food was great, but what's so blog-worthy of restaurant was their knives. weird, di ba? pero cute.

we went to the cemetery this morning to visit my grandfather's grave. just when we were about to leave, biglang bumuhos ang ulan. what luck. grandma said her relatives used to tell her that rain on the 1st of november symbolized the tears shed by the departed. it's funny that they should cry when they're as happy as can be up there. we're the ones who should cry, being stuck in this horrible place. thank goodness for family, friends and God. i'd go insane if not for them/you. :)


verse for the day:
there are three things that remain - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love. [1 corinthians 13:13]
