Jollibee Delivery

It's been quite sometime since I last ordered from Jollibee to be delivered to my house. It's because there are two joints near my house. Unfortunately, this afternoon we were had a call that the office will be up for inspection. I called Jollibee's delivery number for Cavite, got my details, ordered and asked if I was paying cash or by credit card. I said by credit card, then a follow-up question came up -- Visa or Mastercard. I answered Mastercard. After more or less 30 mins our orders arrived. I was waiting how I should pay (although I had an idea when I paid in True Value, they had the GPRS swiper). After putting our order on the nearest table he pulledout the -- wireless swiper. We had a bit of trouble because Globe's signal (the swiper is connected thru Globe) is a bit on the weak side these past few days and had to swipe the card a couple of times before it went thru. Overall I liked the payment options that Jollibee is now offering (I also heard pizza hut or was it shakey's (?) has this offer but Citibank cards only) since I rarely have cash. Sad thing is the fries were a bit soggy since it was packed in the box while still hot.

First Day High

Today was the first day of school for my son. When we got to school he was very quite after the teacher found him a seat and he had the face that's almost ready to cry. Good thing he didn't. I wasn't worried until the teacher told all the parents to wait outside the classroom? Wait! Did she just said wait outside? The whole room had curtains over the windows and I didn't really now how to look after my kid. Oh well, all the parents were ushered outside and we were just told that if ever our kids would cry we would be called. Walked past a couple of windows till I saw one that one window had its curtain blown every now and then. I got to see what my son was doing. I was surprised that he was behaving himself unlike the other kids that kept running around the room while another was crying looking for her mom and dad.

Not 30 mins has passed and one of the kids already opened his lunch box and started eating his snack! Since it was the first day the teacher let it go and also asked the other students if they would like to eat their snacks and mostly said yes. Got a chance to get back inside and help my son out with his snack. Later, the parents were ushered out again. More than an hour later, I peeked back what was happening inside and the teacher was I think teaching them to read and after which they were asked to get their pencils and papers out. They were taught to write something in their notebooks or on the paper. (when we got home I looked at my son's notebook and he actually wrote number 1 plus scribbles and on the next page drew a couple of circles in order.) After two hours the bell rang and school was out. My sons first day of school is over and he seemed to enjoy it. Tomorrow i'll be bringing my PSP to kill my boredom since not once did he look for me. Kids do grow up fast.

Mrs. Fields Chewy Fudge

Before, whenever I was craving for Mrs. Fields cookies I had to run to the nearest Price Smart Shop (now called S&R). Until my dad got tired of paying for the annual fees of the membership card I had no other way to buy the box of 10s of the oh so soft Milk Chocolate cookies. (well, i could also go to the Mrs. Fields stalls but it had a different feel to it). Recently though, the local groceries started selling the cookies in packs and in different flavors (oatmeal raisin, milk chocolate, chewy fudge, and the one with peanuts). What I liked about this is now i've got the option how many of which I would get plus I could store it at the house and eat it whenever I felt like it. Unlike if you bought in the Mrs. Fields stall it's not packed in foil and have to consume it almost immediately.

On the downside, i'm beginning to crave more and more for the chewy fudge. Which is sooooo sweet and the chocolate almost melts in my hand while eating eat. Plus its chewy which what I like with cookies and it doesn't have that dry taste to it. The question now is, will I have the will power to fight the urge?

Donut Pizza?!

A couple of Friday's ago. Me and a couple other friends had the case of the munchies. Since we got lazy to go to the nearest 7-11, McDo or what not. We decided to trot down Gonuts Donuts, which was just less than a block away from where we were hanging out. Off we go, and lo and behold the rumors are true. You can get pizza from a donut shop. Only problem is, it's the size of a donuut. No matter. Since it's there why not try it out, right? I ordered two for myself. Hanzel, also bought two plus a couple of cookies. Mark, bought juice. My son ordered donut (you gotta get at least one right? hehe).

Well, it did taste like pizza (just like those mini pizza - e.g. jimini) plus it covered the whole surface. Bad thing is if you ordered the Garlic and Cheese or BBQ flavor you'll get the whole in the middle just like a regular donut. If I remember it correctly the price vary to either P30 or P35. It did taste good, as long as you eat it while it's hot. Only thing is, bitin!

Enrollment week

Just got my son enrolled at a local primary school. Now, I have to get him some school supplies, uniform, and books. Damnation! Next, i'll have to prepare the snacks and go to PTA's. This is not the part I like with having a kid.

Now I really have to get a new job. The expenses are piling up and I don't know how much longer I could cope up with this. Really wanted to have a work from home type of job so I still have enough free time plus have enough money for daily expenses and save for a rainy day.

Hope the tailor goes by tomorrow so my son's measurements could be jotted down for the uniform. Then buy the supplies needed for school. Good thing he's just in nursery so the stuff he needs are just a few notebooks and a couple of writing/coloring materials. Next week will be very bad for me, since we still haven't hired a new maid looks like i'll be the one sitting behind the classroom waiting for my son's class to finish. My job for being a parent really starts now.
