We unexpectedly had to check out early from our hotel because my sister’s son was vomiting since last night. He was also suffering from diarrhea. He has to go see a doctor ASAP so I did my best to drive fast while being careful. It only took me less than 1.5 hrs to drive from Makati to our house.

After dropping off my mom and sister at their doorstep, my girls and I went to the floating restaurant in the next town. Because I don’t want to cook.

After all the rich new year celebratory food in the past few days, my girls were looking for Filipino dishes to satisfy their palette.

My girls said my kare-kare was much better than this because my version has more peanuts/peanut butter in it. And more veggies and meat.

I finally called a home massage service when we reached our house and had a two-hour massage in my own room. It was ok; enough to relieve me of my back ache caused by frozen muscles that had been bothering for quite a while now. I miss Zennya. For some reason I can only book their massage services from 12 pm to 8 pm when we were in Makati so I missed my window yesterday. Ah well, til my next overnight in Makati…

Twin I kept wailing that she doesn’t want to go back to school tomorrow. I can’t react because I don’t want to go back to work tomorrow, too. 😑 In my head I was already plotting when I can book an overnight stay in Anilao…but dang, what I should be planning is my next trip to Singapore 😕

How not to hate working?

Mommy, I don’t want to go to work tomorrow! I don’t want to wake up at 5 to fix breakfast for my 7th Graders 😭
