The week that was (June 17 - 23)

Sunday: Got up early so my daughter and I would be able to do some walking before having breakfast at Mc Donald's. We spend as much time outside as possible but when we got back at 9:00am, my wife was still sleeping. She got up a few minutes before 10:00am and I told her to hurry-up. When Migmig was put to sleep, I went online for a an hour or so until Migmig woke-up. We got ready since my wife wanted to go somewhere for Father's Day. I told her we should go to Greenbelt 5 and she agreed. He took a cab going there and by 3:00pm, were already at Greenbelt 1, I toured my wife and baby the places where I usually go. We went to gymboree hoping we could let our daughter play and enjoy but unfortunately, there was a party going on and we were asked to comeback between 5:00pm-6:00pm. What we did instead is we strolled the entire Greenbelt 5 upto the top floor. We visited almost every baby shop to look for something interesting for Migmig. Then my wife told me she's already hungry and wanted something to eat. We went to Greenbelt 3 and landed at Capricciosa (I'll write a blog about this). After spending the rest of the afternoon there, we called it a day as Migmig was already sleepy and I feel a little bit tired as well. We hailed a cab going straight home passing by some restaurants at Greenbelt 2 that I haven't seen before. I guess we'll go back there some other time. When we got back home, I went online outside for almost 2 hours to keep myself updated. I joined them in bed by 11:00pm as my eyes were shutting down on me already.

Monday: Got up early at around 7:00am as I anticipate my mom's arrival at our apartment. She arrived more than an hour later. She helped me taking care of Migmig so I could do some morning rituals. Then by the time she left, my wife and I gave some breakfast to our daughter before she gave her a bath. I got to watch Game 3 of the NBA Finals before I went upstairs to put Migmig to sleep. I fell asleep as well and we went down at around 12:00pm so my baby would be able to have lunch. Good thing my wife's sister was there to help me out as I need to get ready to leave to go to The Manila Yacht Club to attend the Blogger's Event for Dr Jose Rizal (I'll write a blog about this). I left at 4:00pm and took me almost two hours to get there stopping by at Mini-Stop in Vito Cruz to have my phone charged. When I got there, there were other people as well dressed in Barong Tagalog for the event. The event lasted until past 10:00pm before we part ways with my new-found blogger friends. Instead of taking a cab hone, I was able to hail an FX to Manila City Hall and a bus to Bustillos. When I got home, my wife was still awake and Migmig was already asleep. I was a little bit tired but I felt good knowing I was able to attend the event earlier. ^_^

Tuesday: Got up at almost 8:00am as my body still feels a little bit heavy from the previous night. She really enjoyed her time outside as I let her walk along the aisle of St Anthony Shrine. She kept on talking and talking while walking. Then we proceed to Mc Donald's so she could have breakfast. By the time we got back, her mom was already awake and fixing her bath. After giving our baby a bath, we went upstairs so she could get some sleep. I was able to use the laptop after my baby fell asleep and got ready for work by 12:00pm. I had lunch at Paotsin at SM Makati before grabbing some bananas to munch before reporting for work. I was a little bit surprised that we were all there as all of us were present. Quite a nice thing if you ask me. Then our boss told me that we need to process some printer surveys as it gets piled up already in our inbox. I did take care of that while my other colleagues took care of the emails and calls. I got to do some emails as well and I'm kinda used to process those printer surveys already with much ease ^_^. For dinner, I just grabbed some Clam Chowder at The Soup Kitchen to ease my senses and keep me sane though the shift. I took a cab home as I feel so tired and weary for the day. When I got home, I did some extra daddy duties before going to bed.

Wednesday: Got up at around 7:00am and took Migmig out for a walk. She really enjoyed her time outside as I let her walk along the aisle of St Anthony Shrine. She kept on talking and talking while walking. Then we proceed to Mc Donald's so she could have breakfast. By the time we got back, her mom was already awake and fixing her bath. After giving our baby a bath, I was able to watch some of the NBA Finals before I went upstairs to put my baby to sleep. I was able to use the laptop after my baby fell asleep and got ready for work by 12:00pm. I had lunch at Paotsin at SM Makati before grabbing some bananas to munch before reporting for work. I got to finish some printer surveys though I messed-up with one (it appears that I've done it a few weeks back). For dinner, I was able to get some chili soup from the Soup Kitchen and enjoyed it at my desk. I let my other colleagues do the work as I got to finish mine ahead. By the time I logged-off, I still feel hungry but my stomach was still satisfied though and I went to KFC to grab some Zinger combo and try my luck to complete their 10 stamps until the end of July before I took the next bus going home.

Thursday: Got up at 7:15am an took Migmig out for a walk. I let her walk as much as she can while killing some time. We also went around the neighborhood so she could see some new sights and for her to somehow familiarize the location. By 8:00am, we were back after buying some pandesal for breakfast and I let her play indoors instead. Her mom was already awake by the time we went home and she wanted to go to her mom right away. Our mornings are usually for our daughter that's why we need to be alert and always in our toes. ^_^. After giving her a bath, her mom took her upstairs to put her to sleep and a few minutes after, I went up as well. I left home a bit late but instead of reporting for work, I went to SM Centerpoint to buy some diapers for Migmig. For lunch at went to the newly opened Hainanese Delights and ate to my hearts content. When I got back home, Migmig was already up and awake as the new sofabed has already arrived. I went online at a nearby cafe for an hour before taking a bus to Greenhills. When I got there, I had to go to the bathroom first before heading to Fully Booked XD. When I got inside Fully Booked, I went to their Photography section and I was shocked to see almost a hundred of books or could be more than a hundred books to my delight. However, I don't see the books there that I'm looking for. But I saw some books on Photoshop CS5 that I may find useful. Probably I'll save-up for some in the future on my new job probably. Then I chill-out at CBTL and killed some time. I saw Tin Patrimonio there though nothing special about her. She looks like your average girl. By 6:00pm, I head off to Sir Jo's studio so I could attend my first Non-Print Day where his guest speaker is Wig Tysmans (I'll write a blog about this). It was an inspirational talk given by him while having snacks in-between. I didn't stay that long as I need to go home before midnight and I made sure I'm not that tipsy. When I got home, I rested for a bit before going to sleep. ^_^

Friday: I got up not with a hangover (I only had a bottle of beer) but with a toothache (no thanks to my dead tooth). Anyway, I got to fight the pain and it eventually subsided. I got to take my daughter out for a walk before we head off to Mc Donald's so she could have breakfast. Then, I got to watch Game 5 of the NBA Finals which the Miami Heat has won the series by the time I got up. I immediately got ready for work. When I was about to leave for work. I heard Migmig crying upstairs. I went up top check her and I was surprised that she's running towards her aunt's room. I carried her and comforted her as we go downstairs. Probably she had a bad dream that's why she ran. Usually, when she gets up after a nap, she cries especially when she doesn't see me or my wife (or her other relatives) there. Eventually, her lola took it from there and I was able to leave for work. We got in the office just in time for my shift. My boss was not there since he's in the office for around 24 hours or so leaving me and my colleague the place to ourselves XD. I got to do some tickets while listening to gold old music. I got to sort some receipts and other things so I would be able to retrieve them easily when I need them. My wallet got thinner after sorting unwanted papers and throw them to the garbage can. XD. I went down to have my BP checked (140/100) and try to grab some food. Unfortunately, The Soup Kitchen hasn't set their discount to 50% so I need to think again where to have dinner. So my next option was to go to BFast as they have this Wagyu Buffet every Friday-Sunday. I gave it a try and I kinda liked it that I even stayed for two hours making sure I got to savor each slice of wagyu beef making sure I get my money's worth XD. When I got back, work was still light as my colleague took care most of it. After work, I took the next bus going home as I wanted to relax and unwind on my way home.

Saturday: Got up as early as 7:00am as Migmig was already up and awake playing in our room. We went downstairs so I could put her walking shoes on before we go out to have some fun. I let her walk to her hearts content before having breakfast at Mc Donald's. I ordered a different set and my daughter was able to eat as much as she can while we stayed there for almost an hour I think. When we got back, her mom was still sleeping so her lola woke her up before they went out again. After giving Migmig her bath, we went upstairs to play some more before I told her to go to sleep. She slept right away and I took some time to get mine as well getting up at almost 12:00pm. I got ready for work right away and took the next LRT ride. I bought some baby wipes when I saw this strange-looking eyewear.  It happened to be a vision therapy eyewear using pinhole technology. I tried it and to my surprise, I was able to see things clearly as if I'm using my glasses. I might get a pair sometime soon as it only costs 1600 pesos. Instead of taking the MRT, I took the bus bound for Ayala so I could just sit back, relax and enjoy. I got in the office at past 1:30pm and set-up the other PC. By 3:00pm, our boss have left the building but he left us a task to finish. I got to finish my part while doing something else. By 6:30pm, I head-off to BFast again and enjoy their wagyu buffet for the 2nd straight night. I'm thinking of going there on a weekly basis perhaps as my stay there was a bit longer than the other night. When I got back, work was really quiet and slow I just rested for the day. I took a cab going home as I feel a bit off. Thirty minutes later, I got home and do some extra daddy duties before finally going to sleep.
