payday fun

after my appointment with the chiropractor, francis met us at george street. it was our usual customary once-a-month lunch after the payday. all month-long, francis would cook our meals. only once would we go out. it's something i look forward to (not intending to downplay francis' skill to cook because he's really good at what he is doing!).

francis chose to try "kanzo", a japanese stall tucked in the dingy sidestreet of parramatta. he enjoyed his order of sashimi platter and asked for another round of sushi and sashimi. the rice with seaweed and pork flakes (i think) was also exceptional. i was disappointed with the ramen, though, replacing the usual tamago with boiled egg and the soup that didn't pull off the authentic taste of japanese cuisine. the lunch was fairly ok and comes with a reasonable price.

after lunch, kaela and kitt went home and i went to the library to borrow some magazines.

on my way home, i realized that gap was on sale and i shopped for a few articles as part of our christmas shopping for pinas. as usual, francis and i didn't buy anything for ourselves. why is it so appealing to buy for others but not for ourselves? probably, clothes are not really our thing!

before i got tempted to buy the whole westfield mall, i came home, half-tired and happy.

leveraging on my depleting energy, i still baked red velvet cupcakes for snacks and served them at 6pm (that's right, 6pm!).

when the sun set down, i was already lethargic to move.  the movie "p.s. i love you" capped the night.

i capped it with tears :P
