the day started out as how it usually does on Sundays. Mama, Tito Gary, Gabo, Pei-Pei and I got up early, got dressed and drove off to ATC. it was only about half past 9 when we got there so the mall was still closed. we waited in Starbucks for BreadTalk to open which did at 10. I bought us our usual Sunday breakfast: BreadTalk's Hot Chick and our choice of Starbucks beverages --a grande mocha frap for me, banana java chip for Tito Gary and a regular latte for Mama (warm, non-fat milk, no foam) to be specific. hehe.

at around 11 AM, tito Gary got a text message from Mommy (my lola), saying they're all eating out and leaving our new maid, Faith, alone in the house. since our help's new and all, tito Gary told Mommy to lock all the doors before they leave and so she did. they were already near ATC (I think) when my lola noticed that she'd left the keys inside her locked bedroom. uh-oh! haha. anyway... back to us. we were still in Starbucks at the time. 30 minutes later, tito Gary and Gabo were off to the cinemas to watch Spiderman 3. Mama, Pei-Pei and I, on the other hand, decided to have lunch at North Park in South Supermarket.

It's Mother's Day, so of course, all the restos were packed. fortunately, we were able to grab good, comfy seats. but the place was super crowded, the food took forever to be served and it wasn't even any good! we've eaten there like a hundred times before and the food has never been as unsatisfactory (to be polite) as it was today. nonetheless, we stuffed ourselves and afterwards, dessert! i ordered the mango tapioca which was uber yummy! it's one of Rod's faves and he's been telling me to try it but i keep forgetting. he reminded me when i told him where we were having lunch. haha. after that, we decided to head back to ATC.

there was this family seated at the table beside ours and they had like 10 kids. wow! and the kids were all still young, the eldest was probably only 11 or something.. imagine that! anyway, their little baby was looking at me so i smiled and waved at him (or her. whatever, i'm not quite sure. haha) as i was getting off my seat. the dad looked at me and smiled back. still all smiles at the little cutie, i stood up and as i did, i friggin' slipped! omg it was so embarassing! good thing the dad still had his eyes on me so he caught me by the arm and saved my ass from hitting that wet floor (not to mention, me from further embarassment). i tried to get up and catch my balance but i couldn't so i slipped again! the dad saved me yet another time. f*ck my chucks and that damn floor! good thing most of the people there were so caught up in their own business so probably only a handful saw the little stunt i pulled off (twice!) i didn't even get to thank the dad.. i and my scarred poise had to get out of there ASAP!
