Saturday Fun Day

This is really a great day for me and especially for my daughter. I accompanied her and her best friend to attend the launch of One Direction's CD. They bought the limited edition so they got their ballers and a poster. Gad, they so love this boy band.


The two bought identical slippers. What are best friends for if you won't wear the same slippers?


The two had lunch at McDonald's while I bought mine from Red Ribbon for my palabok fix. We had our snack at Bubble Tea. I'm not into milk tea but definitely I am into chocolate cake.


We proceeded to Fully Booked and good thing, my daughter took interest with the book I asked her to check. She can't stop reading it now.


Till our next hangout. Haha.

Cheese!

I am always on the lookout on foods that will interest my daughter. There are times she has food fatigue that even if it's her favorite she gets tired of it. Well, I guess everyone suffers from that. We need variety. Anyway, anything with cheese my daughter would love so I tried this. I bought frankfurter with cheese and the cheeze squeeze she can bring if she'd like even in school.

February 4, 2012, Saturday
It feels good that my daughter has company today. Her friend's so sweet to accompany her to make her feel better. She's really going here but she said now there's a better purpose than just hanging out in our house. I love her friend. She really cares for my daughter.

I picked them up after my daughter's rehearsal for the school's glee club and after I made a quick workout at the gym. We had lunch at McDonald's.


Also I did the Eggplant Szechuan Style for the hubby. I got the recipe from a friend. I am soooo thankful it was a success! Husband loves it and wants me to cook it again soon and he'll bring some to work.

My daughter and I went to the mall tonight. Two things that she was looking forward are eating Gyudon and buying a CD of One Direction. :) We had dinner at Kimono Ken after we bought the CD.

I went to the grocery before going home and bought malunggay pan de sal. There's this malunggay pan de sal which husbands bring home sometimes and they are so good. I had a bite of this one and I cannot say it has the same taste as what husband buys.

My lunch, Kenny Rogers Roasters call it low calorie dish - grilled fish with mixed veggies and garlic rice. I only ate half of the rice and all the broccoli and the corn, a few of the chayote. The dish comes with soy sauce. Methinks the fish has no salt at all. It is practically tasteless. But I still like it. I love fish.

I can still spare a few minutes so I proceeded to Goldilocks to buy palabok. I was craving for it and wanted to eat again at Red Ribbon but the store's out of my way. I preferred pansit Malabon when I reached Goldilocks. I remember I like the said dish from Goldilocks. I was a bit disappointed because it's salty for my taste and it wasn't like how it was. Too dry. But the puto I ordered compensated for it.


I waited for my daughter at McDonald's. This is one of the best days we had since her "emotional up and down" (teenagers, y'know). She voluntarily talked to me about what happened. We spent 2 hours at the restaurant just talking about our topic. She wanted to stay some more so I obliged. I appreciate that my daughter opens up with me. :)

In between her stories, she takes a bite of her favorite quarter pounder.


February 9, 2012, Thursday
I loaded up! 2 plates, 2.5 lb each, both sides of the bar. I did it! I will continue to challenge myself in my workouts, sensibly of course.

Updates

I know I am lagging behind. Will post tomorrow. Busy busy. Such is life. I'll take time tomorrow to chronicle the days that have passed.

Still on Ryan

I had my breakfast alone at McDonald's. I wanted to order longganisa with rice but I'm avoiding rice. Got to discipline myself. I opted for pancakes but I had an additional scrambled egg. :) I had my breakfast while reading Facebook going public. Wow, the money that they are turning in!


I was at SM North EDSA and the huge crowd reminded me it's The Great Northern Sale.


I said yesterday I am going to watch Drive. I did! Thanks to hubs for buying the DVD for me! :)))
I love you Ryan Gosling! And this is one of my favorite scenes from the movie. He brushed the girl of her life aside to protect her from an assassin who was with them inside the elevator.

Drive

I read a post from Facebook about the movie Drive. It was shown late last year but honestly I have not heard about it. It stars Ryan Gosling. Like what I have put in my status in Facebook.....
"I started to notice Ryan Gosling not in The Notebook but in the movie Stay. I like him in Ides of March. But I think I'll love him here in Drive. One comment in YouTube hit it right about Ryan Gosling's "calm confidence and slow burning intensity". (He reminds me of Kris Allen though in some angles)."

I am going to watch this on DVD.

Load Up

I'm happy to note that I was able to load 12.5 lbs of these blocks. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not have such a hard time pulling them up and down. It used to be really difficult for me. Good! It means I'm gaining strength again. :)


My daughter called me up if she can go with her classmates to celebrate a birthday. They wanted to go the new McDonald's branch in our area. If it's possible that her Daddy or I can accompany her, we let her. So I did. While waiting they were bonding at the second floor, I had my first decent meal for the day. But then I just had coffee and the fish fillet. I left the buns.


Oh yes, my daughter had been craving for some BonChon chicken since the other day. She asked me if I can bring home some. I passed by the store and bought her the 3 pc chicken leg, soya variant, before I picked her up.
