I opened the windows in our bedroom, pasko ngayon, para pumasok ang swerte.
I bought two big and live Dalag from Binangonan yesterday. I taught Ria how to kill them (pukpukin ang ulo), open the body and remove the eggs. I told her to fry the eggs, and they would be my breakfast.

My kids were going to Greenhills daw. Edmund played golf.
Twinkle and Tyler always run outside everytime the gate opens. Ang kukulit.
Medyo konti sasakyan. Masarap lumabas pag ganitong walang traffic.
I went to Watson’s Robinson’s Galleria by my lonesome and bought medicines.
I was wearing my P50 Ralph Lauren tsinelas. No more plastic supot from Watson’s.
I also went to the Globe office to follow-up on my unlisurf plan. Oyen switched on my phone’s 3G baka ma-charge ako. True enough, although it has been more than 3 weeks since I changed my plan, Globe hasn’t activated my 3G.
It’s nice pala to go to the mall on Dec 24, tahimik, konti lang ang tao.
I was able to go to the derma and no more waiting in line. She was there. It’s my first time, I just heard this place from my children.
She doesn’t do facial and any fancy thing, only some extraction and dermabrasion. I found some tiny bump under my chin, and that’s the one I had checked, to see what it was.
Phoa is right on the path to Globe and Watson’s so I decided to buy some food.
Me to the waitress——- “Miss, mag-order ako fresh spring rolls, dine in isa, take-out lima”.
Waitress—————– “Okay Mam, so walo lahat”.
Me———————– “Yung isa paki serve, dine in, tapos to-go yung lima”.
Waitress—————- “Walo lahat take out”
Me———————- “Anim lahat”.
Waitress—————- Anim take out
(Naku bahala ka na nga!)
I had manicure and pedicure (no polish)
I was only away for two hours. I was home by 6 pm and started setting our table up for our Noche Buena.
I washed the vintage Noritake plates I bought last year but haven’t used them. They are called vintage because they were the last ones manufactured by the Noritake factory in Marikina (Philippines) before
they shut-down the Marikina plant.
These are 29 + year-old spoons, wedding gift from our Ninang Dra. Josefina Ynarez-Pedraza. We rarely used it. Siguro this would be the third time only. It’s a set of 6.
Time to use this 4 pieces of antique dessert plates made by Spode in England. I bought them in Carmel, California two years ago for $32 + tax each
I chilled this red wine, a gift from Mafre Insurance, in case Nyke wants.
I switched on our Xmas lights.

I ordered food from La Cuisine Francaise so no more worrying about what to eat.
I chose the dishes that are familiar to us. No fancy “noche buena only” stuff.
