Week Past 12/24-12/30/07
Mon 12/24 is Christmas Eve. Spent most of my day at work painting our Dr's office. Finally, I got to practice painting a room. Now I have an idea on how to go about painting rooms in our home. Tedious as it was, there is that feeling of accomplishment when I got it done. I was apprehensive at first if I could finish it with the alloted time I have to work that day. But it's done finally.
When I got home I had enough time to rest and prepare our "noche buena" before attending the Christmas eve mass. There was a church choir Christmas presentation or carol. It started a bit late from the scheduled 10:00 pm. We were able to get home around almost 12:00 am to celebrate Christmas eve. Pics below shows moi and my brother having a toast of red wine. Merry Christmas.
Tue 12/25 Christmas Day I took my brother for a drive in Minneapolis. The day is cloudy, cold and freezing and the streets in the city were empty. Minneapolis is like Makati. Busy during weekdays and empty on weekends except at night when restaurants, theaters and clubs are open.I was trying to find the St Mary's Basilica but I took the wrong turn. So we just 'toured" the city. Then snow started to fall as forecasted so we headed home.
Thu 12/27 W arrived from her sojourn in Manila after almost three weeks. Picked her up at the airport and proceeded home. Tired from her travel, we decided to just stay at home for dinner so she can recover from her jet lag. Then ate out on Fri 12/28 at Old Country Buffet and Sat 12/29 at Mystic Lake Casino since my brother would be going home on Sun 12/30. It's the last hurrah to enjoy each other's company with W now present.
Finally Sun 12/30 we took my brother to the airport for his 11:00 am flight to Manila. There is always this feeling of nostalgia when you send off somebody after spending time with you. Brief as it may it's always there. But life goes on...
