Haha! No blog post for three days 🙂
The thing is, I was again distracted reading lovely books which I could not put down. When you are focused on something else, blogging takes a back seat.
It’s been a rather busy weekend. Finally, Josef and I are done with grocery shopping which is good until New Year (the first week of 2020). I have to make a list so I won’t forget. Still I have to go back this morning to search for items that I clearly forgot. Now I remember, I forgot to buy a roll of aluminum foil which I will use for my Embutido. Another trip to the supermarket one of these days. Senior moments indeed.
Ah, according to my Christmas clock, there are 43 days more to go before Christmas. We were able to squeeze in putting up some decor over the weekend. Around this time the past few years, you would notice almost every home decked with Christmas lights and lanterns, they’re now missing though. Maybe it’s because economic hardship in our country is so glaring, most people would rather spend on necessities for their daily needs. Anyway, we could always spend the season quietly as long as we know why we are celebrating, right?
The nights are getting colder and we still experience thunderstorms now and then. Looking forward to PAGASA’s declaration of hanging amihan when the Siberian winds bring in the cold weather. Those are the days when you truly remember the loveliest season of the year which is of course Christmas.
I asked Josef early this morning why he was wearing a t-shirt and maong pants. He said that it is a holiday in the US today and since they are working in a US bank, they are allowed casual wear at the office.
HAPPY VETERANS’ DAY to all my friends who live in the US.
Happy veteran’s day!

Yes we honor veterans on this day. A soloist played Taps on a trumpet at the end of Mass yesterday as he does each year. A time to recognize how many lost their lives in war and how many returned wounded.
