Just realized how even cooler 8/8 is. Still contemplating on keeping a monthy log active now that I’ve apparently given up on keeping my daily log updated, this is gonna be quick (hopefully really quick) as I even took most of the afternoon off for quality time with mhae, this, and some MM duties later. Sadly, I chose to miss tonight’s Mass.
So, 1st week of May, pretty good starting off with a mall date and confession at greenbelt. It was also neat that we did go on another date that weekend and got good buys—probably the best being mhae’s dress that. She also got to fit the one worn by the manequin. A few days back, Papa’s birthday trip to antipolo (sans mhae who had a test in school) was a simple one and I’m ever so thankful for every year that we get to celebrate.
Mothers’ day was another simple treat at Gilligan’s Greenbelt and it was actually more chill this time. Oh, yes, because we had halohalo at Razon’s after and Ate went to Conti’s. We did our annual Espiritu Santo Mass (with Tita Chato, with mhae in asleep at the apartment) during the novena this time and not on Pentecost Sunday since papa had a scheduled trip (that didn’t push through).
Second half went south with a lot of laziness and procrastination. Highlight though was Kuya Jonathan and Ate Kristhine’s wedding. It was tiring (especially for Mhae and Marly and Daisy) but pretty sureal realizing Kuya Jo’s now married. And it was kinda cool how mama and papa were part of it too. Mhae and I had a kinda cute walk around Makati a couple of days after. Got to sing on a couple of Novena Masses for Mary Help of Christians (one substitution) and kinda making sure all Masses had choirs/singers. (START OF EDIT) Can’t believe I forgot about Ate’s birthday. So Kuya Jo who played in my Ate’s wedding 1 year before I met Mhae, my wife-to-be, got married on my Ate’s birthday. (END OF EDIT)
Mhae’s review at CPAR has started and I’m really even more impressed by everything about her, and also especially since we had a hospital hopping day on her last free weekend. I’m not really sure how much we’ve accomplished on our wedding preps, but we’ve got the wedding car booked, and got to visit Tita Tess and Rori and learned that Dogi and Ced are getting a second child! Looking back on work stuff, it was pretty busy with MegaWorld projects (the ongoing one and the terminated one) having to go to BGC 5 times this month, and that Saudi proposal.
Despite the heat, I think this was a good month. I guess it’s better to focus on the light.
