Walked my way to Glorietta via the Dela Rosa elevated walkway. But first, passed by Alishan @ The Alley to buy a milk tea. On Saturdays, it opens at 1PM. A couple is already lined up while waiting for it to open. I am second in the line. Hehehe! Milk tea. ✔
Was hoping to have my lunch at Tito Pak's but the restaurant is closed. Must be because it is a holiday. Since I am ordering in advance our food for the Christmas Eve, will have my lunch at Conti's instead (where I would also be ordering our food for the Noche Buena). ✔
Went to The Landmark to pay my Meralco bill at the Bayad Center. ✔
National Bookstore is still on sale storewide; and the item I wanted to buy as gifts is still not available. ❌
Next stop is J.CO Donuts. Will pay in advance for pick-up on Monday and on Tuesday. Would be giving box of J.PoPs baby donuts as gift per team. With just a few boxes, many would have enjoyed the treat. Weh! ✔
Again, went to Ocampo's to buy a pair of earrings as a gift to one of my godchild. I also bought a gift for myself. ✔
Passed by Glorietta 4 Cinemas checking if I can still watch a movie. Nope. Will not be able to attend the anticipated Mass if I do so. Movie. ❌
Bought black tourmaline bracelet at Gaea. Since I don't like that the bracelet is stretchable, I had it changed it changed to have a clasp. Will pick it up hopefully on Monday or Tuesday. ✔
Attended the anticipated Mass at Mary Mother of Hope Chapel in The Landmark, supper at Phobac, went to Dora to buy OTG micro USB to USB-C (I wanted to bundle this with the TV Plus Go I will be giving away as gifts), bought groceries at The Landmark Supermarket before proceeding home.
Walked my way to Glorietta via Dela Rosa elevated walkway. Stopped for lunch at Tito Pak's. Checked the movies being shown. If I watch the movie I wanted to watch, I may not be able to attend the anticipated Mass. Thus, no movie for today.
Went to beabi for my Christmas gift. Will be able to pick them up after two weeks for I have them embroidered.
Next is National Bookstore. All items in the store are discounted! Unfortunately, the one I wanted to buy as Christmas gift is not yet available. 😞
To Mercury Drug to buy face masks. Coughs and colds is common nowadays.
Paid water bill at Bayad Center in The Landmark.
Often my gift to a godchild on her 18th birthday is jewelry. Went to Ocampo's. Already bought the item when I learned from my kumpare that my inaanak is already 19th on her coming birthday!
Attended the anticipated Mass at Mary Mother of Hope Chapel, dinner at Food Choices, bought groceries at The Landmark Supermarket before proceeding home.
Already made an appointment. Brought my Toyota Avanza at Toyota Manila Bay for its preventive maintenance.
Since Lyn wanted to buy a new (Samsung) phone, she already joined us. Edgar mentioned that a new Ayala mall was opened in the Manila Bay area which actress Kathryn Bernando cut the ribbon. Since we are already in the area, I planned to go.
Ayala Malls Manila Bay is big!!! I think it is much bigger than SM Mall of Asia. Nice design, spacious, even the comfort rooms is big (taking in consideration the number of people the mall can accommodate), the arrangement of the stores are planned out. 5 floors. 10 cinemas. Luv it! If only their cinemas are already included in Sureseats, we would be watching the MMFF films here on Christmas.
Tried the milk tea of Black Scoop Cafe before leaving for Glorietta. My suki is at Glorietta.
We had our lunch at The Landmark Food Center. First went to the Samsung store in Glorietta 2 to check the price. Then, went to Ambassador Appliance where we bought the mobile phone at a discount. Bought the memory card (discounted) at Standard Computer. Cellphone case at Dora's.
Accompanied Lyn back to The Landmark in order for Edgar to bring her back home.
Excited for my wireless keyboard, looked at computer stores. Low EQ, bought Logitech K380 (for my MacBook Air), Logitech K400 Plus (for my office computer) at CompLink.
Attended the anticipated Mass at Mary Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Since this is the first time after a long time we are complete, we had dinner at Chili's Bar & Grill at Greenbelt 5 for the long overdue birthday treat. After, bought groceries at The Landmark Supermarket.
Will go to Rockwell to pick-up my niece before proceeding home.
There are several sale on online stores today. Already placed the items I would purchase in my cart. Would check-out today with online vouchers and credit card promos.
Most of the items I bought is for my allegedly carpal tunnel syndrome. Alleged because the tests does not show that I have but the symptoms seems like it. I even bought a splint which I wear when I sleep.
Because of the following YouTube videos, will buy wireless keyboard/s, performed exercises daily (aside from the Vitamin B which I was taking).
As a gift by my staff, they bought tickets for me Van Gogh Live. With me is my niece Pam. Camille will workout in the gym on the same building. We will meet up for lunch after.
The exhibition is at One Bonifacio High Street. It is definitely a different experience.
We ate at Chili's Grill & Bar for lunch. Pam bought dessert-to-go at M Bakery so I can try it. I was dropped-off at Glorietta. Now, I can have the battery of my iPhone 6s replaced. Thus, went to Switch. They usually have to reset the phone to factory default because they have to have tool run to check if the battery can still be replaced. Since all the contents of my iPhone 6s is already in my iPhone 11 Pro, no longer have an issue. Good thing battery can still be replaced.
Drank hot tea at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Hoping to be healthy. Weh!
Attended the anticipated Mass at Mary Mother of Hope Chapel in The Landmark, dinner at Hawker Chan, bought groceries before proceeding home.
Two big projects that takes almost two years to complete. To thank those who supported that it be implemented, treated them for lunch at Buffet 101 at Glorietta. Already made reservations and bought vouchers at MetroDeal.
First went to Switch hoping to have the color green with 256GB. What is only available is gold and black with 512GB.
So, went to Power Mac Center at Greenbelt 3 where I made a reservation. What is only available is color silver with 512GB. Even their Glorietta 5 branch does not have stock. I think I prefer the color black. Besides, since I will not be using a clear case, the color of the unit should not matter much.
Went back to Switch to purchase the black iPhone 11 Pro 512GB. The staff is friendly and accommodating. They even transferred the contents for my iPhone 6s to my new phone. 😉
To protect my new phone, went to Otterbox to buy the casing as well as the tempered glass for the screen.
For my late lunch, ate at Farmery in Food Choices. Milk tea fix at Serenitea.
Attended the anticipated Mass at Mary Mother of Hope Chapel in The Landmark, dinner at Peppy Olive in Food Choices, bought groceries at The Landmark Supermarket before proceeding home.
Woke up really early as we would be going to Manila Memorial Park to visit the grave of Mommy Cora, Uncle Terry and, now, Uncle Ben. My Nanayoften does this when she was alive. Will do it for her.
With me is Lyn. Edgar (the driver) brought with him his two sons, Monay and Luis. They wanted to visit Uncle Ben.
Flowers, candles and, most importantly, prayers. Also sprinkled Holy Water on their graves. First stop was at Mommy Cora and Uncle Terry. Then, walked to Uncle Ben.
We would be proceeding to Sgt. Mariano Cemetery for a quick visit to my Nanay, Tatay, Lolo Gorio, Lola Clara, Uncle Popo, Uncle Eli, Uncle Nes and Tita Leony. We also lit candles at the chapel of the cemetery. I lit one for Nana, Lily and Vangie, praying for the repose of their souls.
Will be back after lunch with my nieces.
Should be going with my two nieces; but, one was under the weather. Thus, it will be with my one niece. Passed by Paseo de Magallanes to pick-up my sister-in-law before proceeding to Sgt. Mariano Cemetery.
After lighting candles and saying prayers, left my niece and sister-in-law as I would go to my Lolo Gil and Lola Tinay. Woah! Somebody else is already buried at their gravesite. My Tatay is usually the one arranging/ fixing their graves. I don't think we received any notice that there are dues to pay to avoid this happening...
For pagpag, we ate at Pancake House in Paseo de Magallanes. Then, proceeded home.
