sunday, i'm in love

i'm going blind. kidding. it's just that my eyes hurt. you see, i started wearing my glasses everyday the past few days because i can see way better when i'm wearing them. yeah. i know. that's precisely the reason why they were created, right? but the reason why i don't like wearing my glasses is because the minute i start wearing them, i can't NOT wear them anymore. so the more i wear them, the more i cannot see without them. leaving my glasses behind at home has the same effect as leaving my celphone behind (not because i'm attached to it that way but because alej hates it when i'm out of reach).

i refuse to wear contact lenses because i'm a scatterbrain. i'll probably forget where i left the lenses or forget to take them off. i hate the amount of effort one has to pour just to wear and then take off those lenses. and then there's the cleaning part and the dry-eyes part where you have to drop solution into each of the eyes. see? that's why contact lenses are not an option. so yeah, will stick to glasses for now.

saturday, i went to the mall with my parents because they went grocery shopping. and then when we came home alej was already waiting for me. he accidentally banged his head against the door lock when he opened the door and picked up little Ala. it was a cut more than two inches long and we had to press cotton swabs with alcohol on it. pretty scary. good thing it wasn't too deep so it doesn't need stitches.

i went to see Step Up with alej and his family (his mom, sister, nana, and tito greg) at g4 after dinner. i loved the movieee! bea texted me yesterday and recommended me to watch it. actually, alej and i have been planning to watch it since we first saw the trailer. i wasn't disappointed at all. i love the soundtrack too because i love the orchestral accompaniment to some of the R&B tracks.

aren't you thankful for the internet? this evening my mother was rummaging the cupboards and bookshelves for the box of her glucometer (glucose meter). it's a device where you pinch your finger with a ballpenlike thing with a lancet in it. you pinch your finger for the blood to come out and then drop it on the strip and then the glucometer will calculate the blood sugar. you see, my mother's diabetic. she needs to keep track of her glucose level everyday. we had the battery of the tiny machine replaced because it ran out and the glucometer reset by itself. we had to set it to the right settings but her manual was missing. so where to turn to? THE INTERNET! i was able to download an online manual in PDF format and voila! after reading the manual, we were able to get the tiny glucometer to start working again.

she was already getting fidgety because she hasn't checked her glucose level in a while since the battery ran out. we had to look at various shops for the special type of battery and guess where we found the same kind? at Kameraworld! :P

i love sundays. sundays usually consist of mass in the morning, lunch out, strolling at the mall, and then home.

lazy sundays consist of mass in the morning, lunch at home, t.v. in the afternoon (this is just me), merienda by mama's baking/cooking, and then dinner.

sunday is family day. family day is what i look forward to every week because i love my family and i love spending time with them. i have a quirky father, a very makulit mother, and a sister that i share the save wavelength with now that i've matured-- at least i think i have. today she painted my toe nails with blood red nail polish. and all three of us Limcumpao girls had a fun time fitting and picking out shoes. girls love shoes so we were happy ladies with a full tummy, a big fat heart brimming with family love, and pretty shoes.

i have incoherent thoughts right now. i hope you had a great weekend because i sure did. :)
