We had a very tiring weekend. But it was fun nonetheless. Here's a list of our weekend highlight:
> spent the afternoon roaming around Boni Hi-Street while hubby check on the activities at his project site
> went to two (2) malls who were having a SALE!: Powerplant last Saturday and SM Megamall last Sunday (super crowded this mall but I enjoyed it to the max because I was able to "snag" quite a lot of stuff)
> had dinner again at Pepper Lunch. I'm super dooper addicted to this resto. Glad that they'll be opening soon in Shangri-la Plaza which is near our office. Thanks Chuvaness for bringing Pepper Lunch to our country.
> nice loots from the SM sale: Chinese Laundry patent tote in Blue, Matthews patent pumps in eggplant (nice, nice color by the way), a white Cardigan blouse from SM (which is a steal by the way), knick-knacks for me and a number of M&B Pocket Books which I got from National at 20% off each! I practically hoard all the titles from the October series. This is my guilty pleaseure actually. I have plenty of this at home believe me! No loots from the Powerplant Sale since i was too tired from whole day of walking around BHS. Would love to visit sana the Pink Kitchen but decided not to and instead went to Pepper Lunch na lang.
Sigh... kakapagod. I felt I wasn't able to rest but as dear husband would always say, "retail therapy is your best form of relaxation Hunny so stop acing like you're dead tired from all of it coz you'll never get tired of it!" SO true!
P.S.
> early highlight of the week: Dear husband's new "toy" has just arrived this evening. And he's really excited!

It's another weekend (thank goodness!) but this weekend won't be as exciting as the previous one simply because the hubby is sick since last night so we won't probably be going out of the house (at least for now). Good thing na rin because I now have more time to do my take home work and catch up on my blogging. Sadly, I won't be able to go home to Laguna to visit my Dad. I miss my Dad na but I have to do some wifey duties first. I'll just make sure I visit him next week and we text naman everyday so to my Papa, i'll see you next weekend :)
A lot of people I know are sick so I guess uso talaga ang sakit ngayon :( Maybe it's because of the weather. So, take care everyone. And have a nice weekend.
P.S.
Hey, I heard that the world's well-loved opera Giancomo Puccini's "La Boheme" is now being staged at the CCP. I asked my sister if she knew about it she being an opera lover and she replied with an astounding "whaat? OMG! kelan?" I laughed hard coz apparently she wasn't aware of this and learned from me lang. She asked what language will be used and I said, "huh?" She want to watch pala if the opera will be staged using italian language. I researched immediately and although it is a joint production by the Philippine Opera Company and the CCP with filipino actors, the opera will be sung in its original italian language to be backed up by the great Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of an international conductor, Helen Quach. Nice! I inquired about the ticket prices and as expected, it's mahal, lol. I will ask my sis again if she really wants to see this we might take a lower price ticket since all we wanted lang naman is to listen to the music. They say that La Boheme has that magical effect on people that everyone who watches it will cry at the end of the show. Sigh.. I want to experience that. Remember, the movie Pretty Woman? The scene where Julia and Richard went to see the opera and Julia cried at the end of the show? Well, that's "La Boheme". I hope to see it talaga. The show will run from OCt. 3 to 5 at 8 pm, CCP Main Theater. I guess there's no matinee. So, if you are opera lover like my sister and me, go see this once in a lifetime experience.

Sigh... tomorrow will be the start of another busy week. Good thing though, Wednesday, was declared as a special non-working holiday. Yipee! Anyways, before I get caught up with work tomorrow, let me share with you how I spent this weekend:
Friday night: was spent with hubby and good friends, Malou & Charlie at Powerplant Mall. We had dinner at Pepper Lunch. It was our first time to try PL. We've been trying to dine there since the time it opened however the long lines turned me off. I haven't had the patience to wait in line especially with a hungry stomach, lol. Good thing, our friends arrived early and were able to save a table for us and order na rin since we're also scheduled to watch Eagle Eye later that evening. I love Pepper Lunch! I will definitely go back there hopefully when the lines not that too long na.
Saturday: we went to a birthday party held at TGIF Trinoma. The birthday celebrant was the son of a former colleague and friend from Moldex. It was his first bday and a joyous one I must say. It was also a perfect time to reunite with old friends whom I haven't seen for quite sometime now. After the party, I met up with my siblings who were also there at the mall and we just stroll around and catch up on each other's lives.
Sunday: sad to say, I missed a family event in Laguna. My whole family and relatives were there celebrating the birthdays of my two titas. I wasn't able to go home because I have to finish a lot of take home work plus I only learned about the happening at such a short notice so I wasn't able to fix my schedule. Oh well, next time I promise to be present na. Anyway, hubby and I had our monthly facials at Bioessence. I had the Oxygen Facial (which felt so good by the way) and hubby got the Purifying Facial. It was a very relaxing sunday afternoon. We finished at around 8PM. Just in time for the Singapore Grand Prix Night Race which I have been waiting since last week. The race was full of drama! Fernando Alonso of team Renault won the race alongside with Nico Rosberg of Williams and No.1 Lewis Hamilton of Maclaren who finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively. It was an exciting race especially since it was the first ever night race and the first ever held at Singapore. How I wish I was there watching the whole shebang live.
Over all, it was a good weekend spent with loved ones and friends.
How about your weekend guys?
