THE VISITS

Saturday morning - We went to visit my good friends, Melissa and Wendell. They just had a baby 4 weeks ago and I feel so bad that it took me awhile to meet their new addition McKenzie Alexis, the reason why? was James’ extensions stay on his recent Scotland business trip and that’s the same reason why I didn’t have the chance to visit Melissa while she was at the hospital. Melissa and I are long time friends; we’ve known each other since she was 15 and I was 18 and that was 11 years ago. I used to work as a receptionist at their restaurant “Stixx Asian Grille” and she used to come and visit, and just talk to me that’s why we became very close. Even though, I work for their restaurant she never treated me as “just another employee” even with our difference of culture, it didn’t bother us. Our friendship grew through the years and even when our restaurant days are over, we still have that strong connection, and we still manage to keep that friendship. That’s why I’m kind of glad we end up moving here after hurricane Katrina, because she was already living here, she got a job in Houston after she graduated college. I’m really glad that today I get to see her, and meet the newest addition to her heart, I just can’t believe that we are both mothers now, another topic to talk about, another experience to share and another memories to treasure.

Saturday night, James and I (of course with our girls) went to visit May and her family to plan for James and May’s upcoming birthday tennis tournament. We asked Brian and Zim to come along, to just hang-out with us since it’s only a short meeting and they didn’t have plans for their Saturday night. So we all went! We had our tennis meeting while we were eating dinner and after dinner we watched “One True Love”, a Filipino romantic movie.

Here’ the plot for the movie:

Migs (played by Dingdong) is a medical intern about to get married to a nurse named Joy (played by Marian). Days before the wedding, his first love Bella (Iza) returns to the Philippines. Bella is still single and still in love with Migs determined to fight for her love.
Migs then figures into an accident and develops lacunar amnesia and he forgets about his relationship with Joy, leaving him with memories of Bella. Joy finds it difficult to accept what happened but vows to make Mig’s heart remember what his mind cannot.

I don’t know about the rest of the movie watchers, but I really liked it, even the guys (our husbands) joined to watch the movie. The story is very different from any kind of love-triangle story, it’s something new and it really made my heart melts, very interesting.

After the movie, our husband stayed at the garage to have a “drinking session”. The girls stayed inside to play Wii, we played “mario party” is a board game, where at the end of the round there’s a mini-game where you can battle. Mini-games are four-player free-for-alls, there are plenty of one-on-one, two-on-two, or one-on-three games to mix things u. It was very exciting, because you are trying to compete with other players to get lots stars or money to buys houses for the board.

It was really fun game! We had so much fun that we didn’t notice that it was 2:00 in the morning.

Everyone had a fun night, I mean fun early morning! lol
