my life, my joy, my dreams
These days, the hubby and I get to bike on weekends and we truly enjoy this activity. Last weekend, for instance, we spent our Sunday biking in Bacoor and Las Piñas with my two officemates and a couple of their friends. For this particular ride, we biked a total of 36.2 kms. This is our longest, so far. I can’t wait to break our personal record!

Last weekend was all about the gang, also known as my family. I always have fun with them around, especially Mame who is effortlessly funny. Cliché as it sounds but I look forward to spending time with my family, no matter how short that time is. Our family is far from perfect, but we work things out and the love is always there. I’m also glad that the hubby gets along with them, sometimes even better than I do. Haha.

Last weekend was filled with eating and biking, hence, the title. It started on Friday night when the hubby and I, along with my in-laws, went to Blue Bay Walk on Macapagal Blvd. My PILs suddenly decided to dine out to remember the 6th death anniversary of the hubby’s aunt (we miss you, Mamala!) in advance.

So, last weekend was quite busy for the hubby and me. There was not much rest because he had classes on Saturday afternoon while I had work on Sunday. Despite the tight sched, we were still able to go to Bacoor on Saturday night only to drive back to Manila the next day. We also went biking on Friday and Sunday nights which turned out to be a great bonding and workout activity for us.
Here are some snapshots from our weekend:
Because I got sick two weekends ago, all I wanted for last weekend was to be back to normal. By normal, I meant the hubby and I doing things together, getting some rest, and just living a simple life at home in Bacoor. Last weekend turned out to be just that. It was fast-faced, alright, but it was fun. I really couldn’t ask for more.
On Saturday, the hubby attended his classes in the afternoon while I had a date with Mame at SM Manila. I was supposed to have a “me” time but I decided to be with her at the last minute. First, she accompanied me to Lay Bare for underarm wax treatment. Speaking of wax treatments, I still can’t muster enough courage to get a Brazilian wax even if I’ve been itching to have one in ages. Mataas naman ang tolerance ko sa pain pero ewan ko ba, hindi ko pa magawa! Hahaha. Soon, I guess.
Last weekend was like an early test of my faith. I suddenly got sick the day after I published my personal theme for 2016. I may be wrong, but I think I had a mild case of stomach flu because I had diarrhea and fever with muscle pain. The fever and muscle pain went away as soon as I took my first Tempra Forte tablet. The diarrhea, however, continued until Sunday night. I didn’t drink any medicine for it and just had a BRAT diet, replacing the apple sauce with real apples, haha. I also drank a few bottles of Gatorade.
I can’t thank the hubby enough for taking care of me. We drove in Bacoor on Friday night and I was already not feeling well. It could be something I ate that morning. Ang takaw-takaw ko kasi!
