FOOD, FIGURE, STACKER & ERIKA’S FUTURE
It’s 12:09 am…inside an internet shop along P.Tuazon amusingly called "HACK YOU"…listening to "Neva Lose" (at least accdg to the media player)…sitting beside my hubby on my right and my younger bro-in-law on my left who are both playing some kinda violent game.
My baby’s 200 meters away…safe and sound…probably fast asleep in her pj’s with our ever reliable nanny who’s definitely under the covers since she can’t stand the cold the airconditioning unit provides at a "low" set-up.
Earlier this evening, we ate a hearty dinner (well in our world, every meal is hearty =) that would very well explain why oh why I gained so much weight and haven’t loss my preggy fats yet - the question is, will I ever?) STORMBREAKER is the choice movie for the night. Quite disappointing actually. We were looking forward to so an action-packed film - something like Miami Vice or X-Men or uhmmm…The Incredibles (hehehe). But the experience was nice nonetheless - sitting beside my hubby, gulping the Biggie iced tea and pigging out on a buttered popcorn inside a very comfy Gateway Cinema. I feel so bloated.
But the real HIGH was when we went out the cinema, tried our luck with the STACKER game in Timezone for the second time tonight and whooooahhh!!!! brought home a Nokia 1100 for a prize. It was Didoy, getting the major prize twice in 2 weeks we were here in Manila. First was 2500 worth of tickets then this. He’s is a pro now…and I’m so proud of him. I would have taken his picture with his prize had I brought along a camera…well that can wait till later.
Ahhh…this is life! "Rock and Roll Lifestyle" to quote my youngest brother. But it could only last for so short a time. Months of money earned spent in two weeks…(???) Not really, I’m consciously saving up for our kid’s future. It’s really an effort…not to spend so much in dining out expensive restos when you feel deprived of good food in the province and indulging in shopping sprees when you live in some place an hour away from a real mall (with an active, very active volcano).
But winning in the STACKER game made me realize something…that in spite of the complications of being a married woman and a mother and a businesswoman(kuno!), trivial things still bring joy to me. I am still a girl cheering my man while he concentrates in stacking…giving him words of encouragement(which might have distracted him in most of his attempts). I am still a girl giggling over a friend telling a story about her crush. I am still a girl spilling butter in her popcorn. And I don’t want to lose that part of me…
..Until my baby grows up and finds her best friend in me. I want to be her loyal confidant and protector. I want to listen to her giggles when she tells me about her first crush…her first love. I want to be her secret-keeper and be able to guide her to grow up to be a very fine lady like her mom (errrr….)
Hehehe…I’d actually like to be a lot of things. Sometimes, I confuse myself already. I still wanted to be lawyer (I actually toOK the first baby step toward this goal but took a giant step backward - next blog na lang). I want to be a chef, study abroad, put up another business, learn how to play the piano and the guitar. I want to pursue a master’s degree in Psychology. I wanna be a teacher, a wedding planner, a very good badminton player. But I wanna be the best mom first and foremost. If I could be only one thing…I’d choose to be that.
But I really really wanna be a SEXY MOM.
