Thankful Thursday: Meeting Up With A Dear Friend

March 26, 2015 No Comments

A dear friend of mine is here for a very short vacation and I am really thankful that she made time from her busy crazy schedule to meet me and her god son. It has been about 2 years since we last saw her and I really missed her company, and even when we do get to chat from time to time, I guess nothing can really replace being with someone face-to-face to update each other about the latest in our lives.

We met with her and her daughter at SM North yesterday and we really had such a wonderful time. Apart from the endless tales and stories, I also enjoyed our impromptu food trip of local delicacies that include the famous Razon’s halo-halo and a cup of binatog topped with butter, cheese, and a drizzle of milk. Just yum! :plate:

I had such a wonderful time and I am really thankful to see my dear friend again after quite a long time. I am touched that she spent an afternoon with me and the little man and I do hope to see her again very soon! And thank you for the pasalubong, too, mummy Mars! 🙂

seeing my dear friend again after a long time

It has been ages since I last saw my friend + teammate {from my old work}, Chris, who also happens to be the little man’s godmother, too! She’s one of my closest friends back at work + we were almost always together, we sit in stations right next to each other + have our breaks + lunches {or more appropriately, dinner,} together, too! To say that I miss my dear friend is actually an understatement. If ever I were still going to work, I bet we will still be as close as we’ve been!

I am actually so thrilled to find out she was actually going to come to Jared’s birthday party + was really excited to see her again! We’ve shared one too many important occasions in our lives, as well as a number of secrets, too! + although we never see each other that often I still hold her very dear to my heart.

My friend’s presence on my little man’s celebration is more than enough birthday gift for me, too. So you can just imagine my delight when she’s also brought a present for me, apart from her gifts to Jared. 🙂

I really love this pristine e-candle you gave me friend, as well as the different shared it gives off. Thanks so much, it now keeps the room well lit as we sleep into the night.

I just hope we had more time to catch up each other during my son’s party. Oh well, I know I shall be seeing you again, friend, + am crossing my fingers that it will be soon! ^_^

on water dragons + yet another weekend meet-up

This is my entry to the Week 23 of Techie She Weekly Giveaways. This week’s lucky blogger will win $10 Paypal credits from Borris of Snapshots as They Happen.

Last Saturday mum + the little man did an errand in Manila, I picked up the pillows I ordered from one of those Groupon sites, in Quezon City. Luckily my brother agreed to accompany us + later on agreed to bring home the pillows, when a local courier refused to ship them unless I put them in boxes! I cannot imagine carrying the little man + the huge bulk of pillows at the same time! 🙁

After our errands, we head off to Trinoma to pass the time as we wait for 4pm. We will be meeting up with my friend, + Jared’s ninang, Jack, at The Block that afternoon. It has been awhile since we last saw each other, so I was glad she agreed that we meet. She was not able to come to our previous meet ups + the little man has not seen her since his baptism.

We first head off to the food court for a late lunch. I have been craving for World Chicken for sometime now so I made a beeline to their counter + ordered chicken/pasta/mash potato combo! Talk of carbo overload! Fortunately, the little man also liked the combination I ordered + sampled all the treats. In the end, he decided to stick with chicken. Probably loving its taste + the taragon sauce that goes with it.
