I wish the MMF season ends soon so I can finally watch a movie worth paying P160 at Rockwell for.

I'm sorry, I know a lot of people are all about "Support Philippine Cinema" and all that. Really, I would like to do that. And I will...just as soon as they start making decent movies. I swear, if they make a Shake, Rattle and Roll 10, I am gonna lose it. And omfg, Bahay Kubo: a PINOY Mano Po?! Enteng Kabisote 4?!? COME ON!

Your dad is heading back your way tomorrow night so he decided to take everyone out to dinner. Met up with them and a whole lot of other people (his side and tita Mimi's family too) at Podium to eat at Lasa Manila.

Food was great although I bet it cost hella $$$ feeding all those people. I met Tita Nancy and her family. Joan, Jean and family were there too. Lola was unable to join us since she was feeling sick so she stayed at the hotel. After dinner we all headed back to their hotel where your dad and Lucky started packing the numerous balikbayan boxes they were bringing back with them. I have one big box filled with my stuff that's to be sent to you. They're mostly stuff I was unable to bring with me last time and some clothes, shoes and bags that I rarely use here and would like to send there so I won't carry so much on my way back home (kelan kaya yon?).

Lexi was so cute. She's not as shy as the last time we saw her on their US visit. She was entertaining everybody with song and dance numbers while we were in the hotel room. She kept poking me and making me watch her dance, "Tita, look at me!!!" She's starting to be as outgoing as her Lozano cousins.

Your dad was so keen on showing me photos from their family dinner the other night since it featured your female showbiz cousin and her equally famous boyfriend. I dislike showbiz associations so I will refrain from mentioning her name. Lexi was so proud she kept pointing at the pictures and going, "Si Tita ------- ko yan!!" But she couldn't pronounce it right and kept saying my name instead. (oh! hint na yan!)

So a box is coming your way. It's really just filled with my stuff so keep it in a corner somewhere until I can deal with it. In it is a David & Goliath paper bag with your shirt so you can get that one. Miss you...email me soon.

Went to the Spa with Niki where we finally found a masseuse that rocked. We were hungry but on a bit of a budget so we skimmed through the grocery aisle and got chips and corned beef! (We got pan de sal on the way to Paul's) It hurt my wallet but I couldn't resist the pull of finally having a mimosa again. Scored a bottle of champagne and fancy OJ (with pulp!) and drank at Paul's till I passed out (apparently) on Niki's lap. We were watching Heartbreak Kid but I didn't see it through the end.

Had leftover lunch at nana's before I headed off to work. Did the most that I could then headed down to Paul's place for drinks. Bea and I were quite hungry so we had Pizza Hut delivered.

There was a bit of the Skyy Vodka left over from xmas so Niki and I had that with iced tea.

We finally got to meet the newest addition to the Usual Suspects

presenting, GEORGE!

With mommy, daddy and the two ninangs

For a dog so young, he sure is frisky.

Paul had sparklers so we lit them up in the spirit of the New Year.

...and spent the rest of the night watching more questionable movie choices.
