Pacquiao Loses to Bradley

In the much-awaited boxing match this morning (Manila time) between our very own Manny Pacquiao and U.S.A.’s Timothy Bradley, the latter won by split decision. While I respect the judges’ decision, I still believe Pacquiao won the fight. And I think a lot of people feel the same way. Anyway, sports is sports and we all have to accept the final verdict and move on.

On a related note, traffic in Manila this afternoon was very light. Even gasoline stations are empty with their petroleum hoses (which look a lot like those Delafield petroleum hoses I see on TV) rendered immobile by the absence of customers. Look what a Pacquiao boxing fight can do to a city! I think we reached my in-laws’ place in just 40 minutes. Normally, our travel time is 1 hour. What a relief! Now I have more time to do household chores and some work-related stuff.

Chic-Boy on Molino Boulevard, Bacoor

Dinner tonight was sponsored by the hubby. We dined at the newly-opened Chic-Boy restaurant housed inside the 678 Commercial Center, a business complex located just a few blocks from where we live. We feasted on Cebu lechon manok and liempo. Food was good. And cheap, too.

Since they’ve just opened recently, we expected that the service would be quite awful. We weren’t disappointed. Our orders arrived late, but we liked the fact the crew were apologetic and friendly. They would gladly receive requests for water and rice (they serve unlimited rice there!) and try to deliver them as soon as they could.

Fun Saturday

Weekend at home is always fun. Like this Saturday when the workers are still here finishing our back extension which now serves as our kitchen. I saw the improvements last night and was really pleased. I didn’t know such a small space would transform into something beautiful. A small kitchen that has all the basic things a domestic goddess to-be would need. Just lovely.

The hubby’s family are here with us, too. That means the house is more alive than ever. My MIL is currently busy cooking our lunch. I got spared from cooking, yay! My FIL is talking with the workers while my one and only SIL is busy tinkering with her new Blackberry phone. And me? I’m in front of the PC documenting what’s happening around me at this point in time. Haha.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day is just around the corner. In our family, we don’t have an elaborate celebration for this occasion. We just greet our father and share a special meal and that’s it. Simple but meaningful.

But then of course, as you grow up, things change. You tend to be more generous and caring. For this Father’s Day, I want to give my father a nice gift. Something functional that he could use for a long time. Since he loves to smoke (his only vice that he can’t quit from), I plan to give him an electronic cigarette or some fuente cigars. Hmmm, I think the former suits him better. And it might just pave the way for him to stop smoking permanently.

Back to School

In our family, two of my siblings are going back to school. One is a teacher, the other is a 3rd year college student. I envy them somehow, because I’ve long wanted to go back to school by getting an MA degree. So many things to do, so little time. Hay.

My dream to pursue higher studies was officially put on hold when I got pregnant. I remember my Superf and I planned to enroll this June but fate and consequences had their way. My Superf is getting married this December and is currently busy planning for her dream wedding. She’s also busy with some charity work, like she’s been canvassing for discount computers and school supplies to donate to a group of less fortunate kids. Given her business, it’s also impossible for her to enroll at this time. No worries, though. I know that sooner or later our dreams will come true.

Goodbye, Sun Cellular!

Last night was historic. I finally had my Sun Cellular subscription cut. And for good. I used to have two Sun lines (Plan 350), one for me and one for my brother. But eventually I got tired of it and thought it no longer had any use to me. I only use one phone now, before it was two.

For 30 months (the standard lock-in period), Sun gave me satisfactory service. I can’t really rave about it. They used to disappoint me quite often. But that was before, when their signal was still not that strong. I heard they’ve improved greatly now, but unfortunately, I don’t need them anymore.
