Reading was set aside for a while. I could not concentrate reading even at night aside from perusing a few poems by Mary Oliver….again!
There are deliveries almost every day for the three of us (Josef, Jovy and me) brought about by the Lazada sale last December 12. They have sales every month like 10-10-20, 11-11-20 etc. And since this is also their Christmas sale for the year, there seems to be many shoppers online. Lazada Philippines consists of several sellers of electronic accessories, appliances, toys, groceries, fashion accessories, home and living, health and beauty accessories too, You name it, they have it, all at a much lower price than in department stores with minimum charges for delivery. I have completed my gifts shopping at Lazada. There is one more item that I am waiting for, an electric kettle I ordered two days ago for our use. Lazada is a very popular online destination in Southeast Asia. “The online shopping group boasts one of the largest catalogues of items in the Philippines, with items from different reliable brands, and are grouped into categories that are being sold in the website and the app”.
Yesterday, I prepared Embutido, a Pilipino meatloaf which is also a regular fare for our Noche Buena. Pair it with pancit or any pasta dish, some favorite sweets and other desserts and you’re good to go. I made 16 rolls in all. It can keep for long in the ref without losing its flavor, just freeze it.
This afternoon, I wrapped all the gifts for the family. Jovy helped me with the bigger item for Nissa and Obet. Good thing SM East Ortigas gave me extra wrappers because half portions of the Christmas wrappers I have here got wet during the flood last month.
Last night was a very inspiring 2nd day celebration of Simbang Gabi. Fr. Paul, one of my favorite priests at St. Paul was the mass presider. Looking forward tonight for the 3rd celebration.
Take care guys, Covid is still enjoying its worldwide romping around.
