Danica Visited Me! (Makati. August 19-21, 2011)

So my baby sis visited me this weekend and I took her to my favourite places in Makati. She’s 9, but she’ll forever be my 3 year old baby. In a few years, she’ll be taller than me (her feet are already bigger than mine) and she won’t allow me to kiss her as much, so I have to take advantage while there’s still time.

Two days, I’ve been able to wake up with her by my side and I can’t explain how good it feels. I say a little prayer of thanks to Him every morning that I saw Danica beside me. Hugging her big tummy is better than my fluffy pillows! I know she doesn’t know this, and she probably won't care if she did, but someday I hope she realizes how happy our family is because of her. I don’t regret giving up my Surigao tickets this weekend because I needed to babysit.

Also my favorite cousin, Kim, is back from Europe! It’s been 2 years since she left. I’m so excited!

Friday

• I left work on time, 6:30pm. Early dinner at Pat & Lee w/ Tito Rory and Danica.

• Left our stuff in the apartment while we waited for Kim to go to Makati.

• We had our dessert first at Qoola, Greenbelt 2. Treated Kim and Danica, I think they liked it.

• Late dinner at Gerry’s Grill, Greenbelt 3 w/ Danica and Kim. They are at 50% off on all food items until Aug 25 (?) because they're at their soft opening.

• Home by 11 pm. Chikka time w/ Kim till 5am the next day.

Saturday

• Danica waited for us to wake up at 10am. She played w/ Bugris until she was bored.

• Lunch at Mercato w/ Kim, Danica and Etz by 1pm.

• Cinnamon bread at Starbucks, Glorietta 4 while Etz worked for a bit.

• Played at timezone w/ Danica. We splurged our money on that bowling game for the points.
• Had Yogurt at Tuttie Fruittie.

• Merienda at 6 pm in Superbowl. We had the birthday noodles at 50% off.

• Bought a book for Danica at Powerbooks. She said she liked The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It was at 20% off.

• I had Danica taste my favorite waffle at Caffe Te Amo.

• We had late dinner at Gerry’s Grill again.

• Home by 11pm. Danica watched Harry Potter until she fell asleep.

Sunday

• Danica read her book while she waited for me to wake up. She took a bath to give me more time to sleep.

• I heated the palabok and grilled chicken we had left over from the night before. Instant breakfast!

• Left the house at 1pm to have lunch at Banapple. The rain caught up w/ us and we were soaked when we arrived at Ayala Triangle.

• We went to Landmark to buy chips for when they take their long drive back to Naga. My purple Ipanema slippers broke. Raar!

• We stopped by The Link and tested the 3D TVs from Sony and LG. It was awesome! I want one, I swear! Does anyone have 100k (PHP) to spare?

• We went home only to find out our street was flooded. We watched DVDs while we waited for Mom and Tito Rory to take Danica back.

• By 5:30 pm, my time with Danica was over.

• Dinner at Gerry's Grill again w/ Lheila and Etz.

Ugh. I miss her already.
