One Fine Day
Yesterday was another productive yet fun day for the three of us. As it has been since we got back last June, Fridays (well almost every), were spent at our friends’ place where we arrive for lunch and stay till late in the evening. I prepared “afritada” which is basically a Filipino chicken (also pork) tomato sauce based stew. I was actually planning to try a recipe that I found in the internet but after much thought, I decided to go for the good old afritada instead. I figured I should try the recipe for personal consumption first before trying it out on a larger scale. They also prepared bbq spare ribs which if I may say is a “mainstay” (we’ve had it for 4 Fridays now!), milkfish in coconut milk (milk for milk huh!), vegetable salad and corn on a cob. With all the food on the table, everyone really had too much to eat. After which, everyone started minding their own business. The boys played with their “toy”, the Xbox. The girls (that would be me, my friend’s friend) belting it out on the Magic Sing. Then there were the two little girls who played on their own. They were also our audience along with my friend who was a bit shy to show her singing prowess.
Then late in the afternoon, the boys decided to play table tennis. The four of them played doubles first but after a few games, I was called to join in. This time I teamed up with Nonoy while my former team mate paired up with my hubby. We had a total of 2 best of 7 games where each team won. Then we decided to go into a best of 3-game for our finals. As luck would have it, we, being the underdog emerged triumphant. Well I’m just glad that I get to exercise and end up with the winning team at the same time. Don’t know if it’s really just luck, if it is then I must be a really lucky gal to have one twice already.
After the games, I was just so exhausted, as were the others. All of us just spent the following minutes talking while trying to quench our thirst drinking soda and water. I was too tired that I didn’t feel like eating dinner anymore. I just got myself singing with the Magic Sing again. The three of us arrived home at past 11. We were dead tired but really had a good day. I hope everyone did too.
