Spent three hours in a salon yesterday…three staff fussed over me, offering iced tea, coffee or little sandwiches while they worked on my hair. I haven’t decided whether to like it or to feel guilty over it. Ready to see my transformation? Here are photos before, during and after…
Sandy is making friends
Princess likes me, I think. When I rubbed her today, she had that same look Judy has when I scratch her head. Bad thing is whenever she sees me now, she expects attention.
Fred is the same, but his best friend is Carlo. He’ll say hi but will look for Carlo immediately after or retreats to his room.
Pilipino Day #1
Got an email from Sandy…
Hi hun,
So far so good. Everyone met me at the airport, including Pinky who jumped between departure and arrival terminals just to see me before flying out to Hong Kong. I’m being overfed. Breakfast #2 was longganisa, eggs, rice, tamales. Daddy made me a special coffee blend of half brewed coffee enhanced by half instant UCC coffee.
After breakfast together, everyone headed off to work. I visited with the dogs for a while. They all wanted forever rubs. Fred is healing from a sprain, but otherwise looked good and was well behaved. His head remains too big for his body. Barni has new tricks, including bringing small paper (like peso bills) to his Lolo Dido. Princess howls when you forget to give her attention.
Hung out with Brina & Brian, but by 3pm, I could no longer keep my eyes open so I had to take a nap. Dad came home at 4:00 with coffee to go from UCC. Then we had dinner at Dencio’s which Dad claims is a much better restaurant than the one that deteriorated after 4 years. It was much like Gerry’s Grill. We had krispy lechon, krispy sisig, grilled tuna belly and bagoong-based pinakbet.
Will be heading to bed soon. I’m constantly thinking about you.
I love you.
Philippine bound
Sandy hopped on a PAL flight tonight on her way to spend a few days in the Philippines. Of course there were the ubiquitous Balikbayan Boxes at the ticket counter. I always get a kick outta that. Have a safe flight Hun, see you soon.
Ate Ina
Today we were lucky enough to get a visit from Ate Ina. In her honor, I decided to grill a 10lb Rib Roast (2hrs). OMG I think I’m gonna have a meat hangover tomorrow.
Reno
Went to Reno today for a service call and a teardown at a Military Convention. As usual I got to take one photo and came home with the leftover giveaways.
Larissa
Today I had a photoshoot with Larissa in preparation for her Cotillion. The cloudy day made for some nice even lighting.
Errand Fryday
Today was a slow work day, so I decided to make the best of it and ran some errands. Along with getting my bloodwork done. I ate breakfast at Marti’s, went to the post office, ate lunch at Quiznos, got my oil changed & tires rotated.
While waiting 3 hours for my car I decided to walk around the Marina Village and take some photos. Can you guess what time that was?
Dallas 2009
I spent the whole weekend in Dallas and never left the Hotel. This is the only photo I took. Well actually this is composed of 6 photos.
Burger
Had a slow day today, so I ventured into downtown Alameda and had lunch at the Burger Meister on central next to the theater. The burger was huge and a bit messy, but it was delicious. I’m still belching up the taste of those garlic fries though.
