it's a rare thing for me to go out and socialize. so this is a "special" saturday :p
this afternoon, i went with mom, dad and some friends (mam boots de mesa & dr cheng) to visit my mom's former teacher who's now a carmelite contemplative nun. sis tisa (formerly known as ms jo constantino - a very popular and well-respected teacher) is a very intelligent, articulate and energetic person. we were able to spend less than an hour with her.. but she's one unforgettable woman. at the age of 87, her mind is still very much active.. her senses keen and her passion for her vocation very much alive. nuns are not my favorite people.. but i'm glad i came along for the visit. sis tisa is one remarkable lady indeed :p
it was off to dr cheng's for lunch afterwards. just a simple meal.. but the food was good :) we had rellenong bangus (i remembered friend A and how she craved for this last sunday, wahaha), morcon and fresh lumpia.. and for dessert we ate mango and buco salad. yumyum. the conversation was nice, too. er.. the exchanges were about lots of things - nuns, education, work, politics, math, etc. the discussion was free-flowing.. yet more sensible than any actual chat i've ever been in lately wahaha. seems i was in the company of intellectuals. and i didn't mind it a bit. not at all.. nyahahaha.
well, this has been a good day. i was able to relax with friends. i got to try new things (like visiting a nun, as well as 2 churches and tasting "yoh-gurt froz" for the first time). i was productive (photocopied the songbook for our choir & boss ran, wrote the attendance in the report cards, finished reading "the nanny diaries" and successfully hunted down episode guides of "the avatar" season 2).
it's *almost* perfect. (sigh) just a little more patience.. :p
