Thanksgiving aftermath

It's been a long weekend for me here, too. Hope you've recovered from Operation Turkey. Regarding your plan to not bake a whole turkey next time---practical sounding man, but somehow, di kaya mawala ang visual Thanksgiving dinner 'effect' ? Unless you can somehow shape the turkey breasts to resemble a whole turkey (small replica bala)?
Finally had the 'break' i was waiting for last Thursday: went to watch this tagalog movie everyone was talking about called 'One More Chance' with my girlfriends from down the hill...and boy, it was good! The acting and scenes were all realistic, dili corny and not the usual screamy-melodrama. Funny thing lang: the leading lady seemed to have forgotten to change bags throughout the whole movie!( trust a female to notice details like that, huh?) Maayo ra ba gyud kung it was a classic leather bag na dili noticeable? It was one of these large safari-print cloth sacks!! Am so tempted to write them and point this thing out, just don't know how and where, harhar!

Friday naman was pretty busy---had to edit both the histories of the Matutum school and church which were to be read at the Thanksgiving service today, Sunday. It's the church's 40th, and the school's 35th...and fascinating kaayo to read about something that old, and to learn how it all began...

In the afternoon , we had to attend this parenting seminar sponsored by the school PTA---this Chinese guy from Ateneo who was a really good speaker---spoke on parenting, of course---and he really impressed us all by his manner of speaking and his insights, until he revealed at the open forum that he was 47 and unmarried, without kids!! Which means basically everything he knows is textbook stuff, plus things he learned along the way from being around friends and relatives with kids, and being a guidance counselor in the Ateneo at some point. Phooey.

Ended up having dinner with Pops and Baby after the lecture---Rene went home na, but dropped by the school where Momon and all the middle and upper school kids were having Club Night. Earlier, when he should have been pitching his tent, Momon decided to swing high on the bars of the soccer goal and somehow lost his grip and fell hard on his back. It was a bad fall, and everyone who saw it got alarmed as he somehow doubled up daw, then turned pale and cold, but when i got to him, he was walking around like nothing happened, but when forced, admitted that his back kinda hurt. Told him to inform the teacher if he started feeling weird or throwing up...which didn't happen that night, thank God...but the minute their camp folded up the following morning, i brought him to the hospital for some xrays. Unfortunately, the real xray doc wasn't around till Tuesday to do a reading of the plates, so it had to be the ER doc doing it. She really couldn't detect anything, but said it seemed that Mon had a slight case of scoliosis.

He seems all right na man now. In fact, he spent the whole day at the church/school anniversary festivities and seemed to be having a good time.
And now that the Rummage sale and the church fiestas are out of the way, i think i'll start taking out my Christmas decor boxes...I think kasi of all the other things i have to do and i get depressed. Or maybe it's because this young couple Shey and Gibby (whom i'm pretty fond of and relied on so much) announced that today was their last Sunday with us in church? Whatever, i think i need to put up my xmas decor to cheer me up.

On that holiday note, i shall bid you goodnight. I just can't seem to shake off the blues, boohoo.
Hope tomorrow will be better!
