back to Christmas...
a yearly tradition of our family is to go back to our roots on Christmas.. Pampanga - where the relatives of my parents are. on the 24th, olie was at our place when they decided to leave that afternoon. admittedly, i was hesitant to invite him with us and meet my relatives. added to that, i will have to look for a place for him to sleep since the plan was to stay over until the 26th (2 nights). so we dropped him off at Ortigas and off we go..
Kuya Reggie, and of course Tita Angie and Tito Rene will be heading back to Laguna on the afternoon of the 25th. so i asked them if i could tag along so that i could be home a day earlier. i texted olie,who'll be meeting me at my parents' house that evening. so in a way, we were together on our first Christmas...
btw, he gave me a perfume set - Davidoff Cool Waters and guess what? a Guess watch...
we went to his parents' place so that i could visit his folks even if its too late for Christmas.
on the 28th, we had work. i had to go coz i didn't file a leave form. however, i wasn't feeling well. olie would be coming in later in the afternoon as he will be accompanying his brother to the airport. his brother was leaving for Saudi (i think) to work. i consulted the company doctor for some medicines and had olie to meet me in Glorietta for lunch. i filed for sick leave for the afternoon and promised to go to work the following day.
the following day, we were both decided to go to work.. as i was leaving the house, olie texted me that the government will be doubling the cost of applying for a passport so we headed to the Department of Foreign Affairs to get one. There were so many people. We had to line up the whole day to process the passport. Finally, we were able to have lunch at Gerry's Grille Glorietta 3 at 5 pm. whew! I wouldn't be going through all that again, i hope. I can get my passport on the 11th of January. Btw, Olie's cousin and brother also processe their passport - Ubie and Frank.
so that was the 28th and the 29th. i stayed home on the 30th and 31st with olie coming to my parents' place everyday. we watched tv, made our scrapbook. i really wasn't feeling well.
on the 31st, olie had to go home earlier (about 630 so that he'll be home in time for the New Year celebration). Ferdy and I went to Pacita with him so that we can also buy fireworks for the night's celebration. Our budget was P200 (or P100 each).
Olie got home a little past 8 pm.
