I had a very tiring day yesterday. I went to Divisoria in the morning to buy the textiles for my family's Filipiniana attire to be worn on my mother-in-law's 80th birthday. I and my family intend to wear Muslim-inspired costumes. Think Singkil, Maranao, Kumintang, Sari-Manok! Oh I had a field day choosing the textiles and accessories. After buying all the materials I needed for our costumes, I asked my driver to take to C.M. Recto to order the invites. I got the invites real cheap at 35 Php a piece compared to about 100 Php per piece in mall outlets.
By 4:00 P.M. I was home. At 5:30 P.M. I did my daily 3.5 -5 K jog. By 6:30 P.M. I have taken my shower and was about to turn on my computer when daughters 3 and 4 drove by and picked me up for a game of badminton. We got home around 10:30 P.M. after sets after sets of robust playing. I was ready to hit the sack by 11:30 P.M. when daughter # 2 came in my bedroom and requested that I drive her to school at 5:30 A.M the tomorrow (that's today). She said the whole faculty and staff of the school will be having a field trip. Yey! to them. I must have dozed off around 1:00 P.M. for I specifically remembered watching two re-runs of The Nanny.
"Mom! wake up. It's time for you to drive me to school."
I groggily and grudgingly got up and dressed to drive daughter # 2 to school at 5:30 A.M. It's now 8:14 A.M. and I look like crap. I have dark circles around my puffy and eyes. I can even discern a more pronounced "crows feet" at the corners of my eyes! I need to do something real fast for I have to look my best at my mother-in-law's birthday. In times like this, I need the magic that is called anti wrinkle eye cream. I have an hour and 44 minutes to kill before I raid the mall and get me one.
