He said, since it’s winter there, he won’t be eating much because he won’t be moving much. I argued that since it’s winter, he will be eating much to keep himself warm, and will gain weight because he won’t be moving much. We laughed as we exchanged facts in our little attempt to debate. Even if I knew that facts will be useless when my husband decides on something, anyway. He will do it no matter what.

Verdict? We will wait for the result when he comes back.

He didn’t want to bring our SLR. He said it’s too heavy and bulky so he opted to just bring a point and shoot. I tease him to take pictures of his hotel room once he arrives, particularly the bathroom tiles and fixtures, which I am so finicky of.

We arrived at the airport on time. Mikee kept saying we were in an “airplane port” instead of just airport, which is logical, right? He called me when he arrived at Amsterdam. I think he was even joking about something but I didn’t quite get it. I was just happy to hear his voice. (Yuck, emo.)

I don’t feel sad but I miss him. I am happy for I know he’ll have a great time. Last night though, I couldn’t sleep much. I woke up every hour. Ugh! o-O

Anyway, we especially had difficulty finding the perfect winter boots. After all, we live in a tropical country. Who would want to buy a pair of winter boots if you’re not leaving the country?

We were initially looking for Dr. Martens store but we were told it is no longer available in Trinoma. We were lucky that we saw Rockport has a couple of waterproof boots, and they are on sale!

Hmm, although we’re not so sure if it goes well with his newly purchased pairs of slacks.

Anyway, my aunts and uncles came (after visiting the cemetery) too to celebrate with my mom. It was fun watching them bond. The women were like teenagers gossiping about the best weight loss pill, while the men were chatting about politics with my dad.

I ate the white forest (for the first time), and I definitely prefer the blackforest over it. Why? You see with blackforest, the sweetness of the cherry syrup is balanced with the bittersweet taste of black chocolate. While with the white forest, it’s too sweet. For me, it was like eating milk powder with cherry syrup. Well, that’s just me.

Just like last year, Mikee joined the trick or treat parade in her daddy’s building. The program started at 1pm. Mikee kept looking around and checking other kids. Hmm, typical female, huh?

She got excited when she saw Ariel! There were two but she got excited by the one not wearing a wig and kept following her. Never too early to be a stalker! Hmm, why did that line remind me of a friend who kept telling us that it’s never too early to consider whole life insurance?

Anyway, there were games and there’s this particular game where the judges will choose 4 best dancers among the kids. Mikee was just jumping out and down getting excited with the music. So I whispered to the one playing the music to play Mikee’s favorite, Nobody. And yes, she won.

Unlike last year, she didn’t want to take off her wig. She only agreed to when it was time to sit down and eat her spaghetti. At 3pm the wig is back on for the parade.

I noticed she kept choosing Jelly Ace over other candies.

Anyway, after three floors, she wanted her nanny to carry her. I knew it was time to pack up. So we just went to her daddy’s floor for her last stop. She was happy to see friends she usually plays with during her daddy’s team outings.

Look at her, holding Mr. Pumpkin like a purse.
