Thanksgiving 2011

Lots more leaves to fall...

This year, Thanksgiving was on November 24th and it was a nice, warm day. So, I started my day outside raking the hundreds of leaves that fell from the ONE tree in our front yard. And, from the looks of it, it’s still not done shedding its leaves.

Sponge Cola CDs

When my parents came back from their Philippine vacation, they brought back some great “pasalubong” (homecoming gifts). My most anticipated one was Sponge Cola‘s latest CD, Araw Oras Tagpuan. I have all the other Sponge Cola albums, which my father forgot. So, when the sales lady at SM Fairview showed him their Sponge Cola CD inventory, he bought them all

No complaints! I like the extras that the repacks had. In the (hopefully near) future, I’m thinking of holding a giveaway of sorts to promote my blog by giving away my extra Sponge Cola CDs and perhaps some cute things I find in my favorite shops. So, watch out for that!

End of December raffle

Lots o' bags

Whoa, 10 purses!

Unbeknownst to me, my grandmother and aunt in the Philippines hold an end of December raffle in their provincial town giving away various things. They’ve asked my parents to bring some potential giveaways when they visit this month.

Instead of purchasing things, I volunteered to donate some bags that I’ve never used or only used once or twice. I figured someone else can enjoy them more than I did, and it’ll help unclutter my closet. (While some girls collect shoes, I collect purses.) Continue reading →

Big English breakfast

My mom ordered a regular breakfast, my dad ordered a medium, and I ordered a LARGE. Yes, I was very hungry. It was a long flight from Abu Dhabi to London!

Combusog

This “combusog”—a portmanteau of combo & busog (which means full in Filipino)—of barbecued pork, pansit, and rice only cost me a little over $3. If you’re ever in Abu Dhabi, stop by Philippine House Restaurant for some great food at a good value.
