THANKSGIVING DAY:

Mine is a way different compare to Thanksgiving celebration I am use to. I stayed home with Bianca Ann, and Billy to Dorothy/JImmy  house for the Thanksgiving. Yes I was invited but my "TULOS/sapot" kicks in so forget about Thanksgiivng feast…decided to stay home took a nap then went to check the schedule for the Happy Feet movie. Driving on the road on a holiday–way much better cause there was no much car/traffic. We watched the 4 pm schedule–there was no much people on the theater either, I guess there was only 15 chairs occupied. Movie was great and Bianca Ann love it and so do i. Went home had a left over lechon paksiw and rice for dinner. Life is good!!!

BLACK FRIDAY!

My friends/kumare Gina together with Maya And Megan picked me up at 3:15 am for the Black friday shopping spree. We got at the Lynwood/Alderwood Mall around 4 am. Megan was assign to stand on a line in Toys R US. Me, Gina and Maya stayed together and decided stand on a line in Target. While we were in Target—- I saw the schedule on the door says open at 6 am. I asked the very first person on the line what time the store opens??she said at 5 am. Then we checked the Target flyer it says open at 6 am. So we pull out from the line (we could have been the 10th persons on the line) start heading/walkign to the Toy R Us building–by the way it was freezing cold!! and I am all bundle up and cozy. We walk to Megans and stand there ahead of those people who has been standing on the line before us. SO thankful NOBODY complains about us…after 10 minutes the store open –here all those people rushing inside…that was fun!!! Just got some art stuff fro my unica hija. If there was a long line going inside the store–it did not take that much time to make the LONG line for the cashier to pay–he!he!he!

2nd store Target:  We did not move the Gina’s mini van  from the Parking lot of Toy R US, thinking that it would be impossible to get a parking space in Target parking lot. So we all just walk–I guess for  3 miles. The store was already open when we went there…we were just like zooming on different direction of the store. I got a black  dress shoes and gold stocking for Bianca Ann for the Christmas party/day. Got some two boxes of Christmas tree bling-bling. Course the line to the casheir was way long….what we did Megan was way ahead of us find a cashier with only two people on the line ; she called us to come over on her line. Thanks to the cellphone. He!he!he! From the stuff we shop from Target and there was 4 people shopping the minivan is starting to fill up.

SEARS: We did not have a hard time finding  a parking lot  going to Sears we found a good spot just across the main door of Sears. Me and Maya stayed in Sears, Gina and Megan went to the Disney Store. I got 2 blouse for myself (Christmas and Birthday); a nice shirt and tools for my Papa Toto. Feels like my feet were about ot give up on me. Been on my feet for a 8 hours now.

Disney Store: They got a great stuff for kids…. I got Bianca Ann 2 sets of  Princess PJ’s, 3 sets of Spoon and fork, and Princess pillow. The line to the cashier of course was crazy am glad Maya was standing on the line already and just asked me to put my stuff on her basket so we can pay our stuff in one time. Thankful again no ones complain…of my cutting off he!he!he!

Breaktime: 12:30 pm: We decided to go breakfast/brunch at Elmers breakfast. While en route to Elmer’s Breakfast we saw the Mervyns Store with a huge sign BIG CLOSING SALE! We all agreed to stop by at Mervyns after Elmer’s They ordered pancake breakfast— I ordered Grilled Chicken pasta with vegetable ( I had few spoon of cereal at 3 am) The waiter messed up with my order she give me a pasta with pesto instead. I did not complained since I never had a pasta with pesto before. It was yummy then the manager came to apologize for the mess…Oh  my hubby called checked on my status- told him we are still in Washington heading for brunch–he!he!he!

Mervyns: Their sign says 40-70 percent off; while at the store I never see a thing with 70 percent off tag. Most goods are in 40 percent off tag–Marketing!!! I fell in-love with a knee high boots but did not buy it they dont have a black color. I got 5 jeans for Bianca Ann ( she does need new jeans–getting taller) blue sweat pants for my Papa Toto.

When we put all our shopping bags inside the minivan looks like we have been kicked out from the house, or going to evacuate. GIna cant see whats behind the minivan no more…heading back home was a mess..traffic–whew!!! Just glad and thankful I am not driving..he!he!he! Big hand to you Gina. WhiIle stuck on the traffic we have been playing groovy song loud–as in. on a closed window–he!he!he!

Got home at 3: pm… my house were all transform–ready for the Christmas. Papa is the BOMB!!— showed to Billy Gina’s mini van filled with shopping bags/stuff. Bianca Ann was taking nap when I get home, put away all the shopping bags. Change clothes and  straight to my bed to take my nap and rest my poor legs ( I just could see all my varicose veins popping out of my legs –(gigling.). It did not take me that long here comes my princess waking me up to show me all the Christmas stuff and the Christmas tree she helped daddy to decorate….

A friend of my friend (Filipino Mafia :-)) Invited us to attend her hubbys birthday party and same time to watch Pacquiao and Morales 3 fight.

It was cool–their 4 TV’s were tuned to the HBO pay per view. One in garage, Living room, Family room and loft room. Me, my hubby, Dorothy, and Jimmy watched the first 3 fights at the family room. When the Pacquiao fights were about to start lights went off and of course everybody got crazy. What’s going on… then the power came back but the TV in the Garage, Loft room and family room did not work for some reason.

So we —mean all 40 0f us; squeezed in the Living room. My hubby and Jimmy watched the fight from outside—they could not fit inside the living room any more. Just imagine the noise when they introduce Pacquiao—we are all screaming. Then nagkagulo sa labas—there was a fight outside the house!!! A real fistfight!! It was a drunk guest who don’t want to go home with his friend (so happen the drunk guy is a Mexican)… I have to run outside cause I got worried with my hubby. I saw him trying to stop the fight…eh naka-inom na rin siya. Naawat naman nang ibang Pilipino rin… When we get back inside the house one older woman made a comment… Di pa nga tapos ang boksing ni Pacquiao nag aaway na kayo! J

Bianca Ann and other kids got scared with all the screaming we made— during the fight. I am so impressed of Pacquiao—he was into WINNING the fight with Morales. Which he did!!! So proud of him…. and his family and to all the Filipinos! Mabuhay!!!

This is my first time to watch Pacqiao’s fight on Pay per view— it was good and all worth it. Just glad able to watch it for free *wink*—much better to watch it with other Filipinos, that was a heck of fun!! My Mana Nene text me to tuned my TV to HBO to watch the fight from the Chat Cam. They don’t have a cable..too bad I was at the other house. I just called them when Pacquiao wins. I wishI brought the video cam with me to record all the all the fun. Got some picture though of the party getting wild while watching Pacquiao knocking down Morales. I cant wait to watch it to watch the fight again in DVD.
