my complicated life

got up around 7:15 AM. pupungas-pungas pa... i heard the sound of flowing water from the shower as my hubby prepares for work. i rushed to the kitchen and prepared sauteed corned beef and fried rice for breakfast. i owe that to him as he always prepare my breakfast this past week. =) we had our breakfast around 7:30 AM, satisfied and full kami pareho. i cleaned up the kitchen right after he left and i had a quick shower as well. i did some last minute phone calls to friends (Charry and Eric). aba, i heard from Charry that Nelson was able to go back here in UAE sometime between August and September pa. ni hindi tumatawag! <inis> anyway, eric promised to relay the message as to how disappointed i am dahil nalimutan na nila ako. **sniff, sniff** arte!!! hehe. charry and me had a serious conversation regarding our friend tina. i won't divulge the details as she might go back and re-visit my blog sometime. hihihi, tamang guilty daw ba. peace tina!!! ;P

so, right after the phone calls, i went out around 10 AM and strolled along hamdan street to mashreqbank to pay my credit card debts. the weather was kinda nice these days. nde na masakit sa balat ang araw plus it's windy now! sarap nang namnamin ang pagdampi ng hangin sa pisngi! =) after i paid my bills, i passed by a grocery shop and bought some in by the nice weather. i saw some pinays working for Bhs (department) store setting up the Christmas trees by the store window. wala lang, the scene made me miss our Christmas tree back home in the philippines. =(

when i got home, i rested for awhile before starting to prepare lunch. instead of steaming the tilapia, i opted to cook it in the oven. less grime, less work. hehehe. that's what they call, smart cooking! =) i also prepared fruit salad for dessert. everything turned out to be tasty!!! sorry, i wasn't able to take some snapshots as proofs because i was on a rush and the fish was now flesh and bones that i won't consider capturing how the two of us enjoyed devouring the poor animal. btw, i had lunch by myself since i couldn't wait for hubby anymore as i have an engagement to attend to in the church. he just ate his meal on his own today as well.

i arrived 10 minutes before 2 pm in St. Joseph's Church. the choir was just starting to have its last minute practice. the wedding ceremony started a quarter past 2 pm. it was the most organized, solemn and elegantly celebrated and decorated wedding ceremony i was able to witness here in abu dhabi. despite the small number of gfc members who was able to make it, the choir's performance for this wedding was superb, too. feel na feel! =)

the photo above was taken by the sweet young white lady (american?) who volunteered to take the shot for us. she's sweet alrighty, but she also has shaky hands... bad ko... hehehe. actually, she already caught my attention when we were singing during the ceremony. she loves singing with the choir kasi while she sat back on the seat near the couple. we just waited for the ceremony to end before we posed below this arch decorated with so much roses. too bad, considering almost everyone has a digital camera of his/her own, no one brought one today. bad timing talaga. ayan tuloy, we just contented ourselves with a mobile phone cam. we used my mobile phone, by the way, which was admired by the white lady. <yabang!> the photo below was supposed to capture only the arch. anyway, as you can see there was an abundance of flowers in this wedding.

as we went outside when the ceremony adjourned, we saw that the bridal car was a two-seated top-down sportscar. we later realized that when the owner pulled the top down, of course! pero hanep talaga! we couldn't resist to have a photo taken with it as souvenir. ganda talaga eh! oh well, even the idea was great! as it was a two-seater car, only the bride and the groom will drive away! now, i just dunno if it will be the bride or the groom who will be behind the wheels.. hehehe.

i went straight home after i bade goodbye to my choirmates. we were still supposed to go to Taza food store in hamdan. well, they did went but i passed on the invitation. i was kinda shy kasi... asus!!! hahahaha. anyway, all's well that ends well.
