Whoa!

The days really do go by so fast! I feel like it has only been a few days since I last updated all of you…and then boom! –It’s almost the middle of the month already. Which means next month will be the month before December….which also means that next, next month will be the month before a whole new year begins. Ayayay!

Let me be completely honest with all of you. I am feeling a wee bit guilty, yet at the same time tremendously grateful for how I have spent the past few days (or has it been weeks?). You see, Dennis and I just got back from a very short yet refreshing mommy-and-daddy-only trip out of the country. This was our first trip out of the country without the kids, and I must say that though I initially had separation anxiety, it was a good thing there were far too many clothes and way too much food to keep my mind preoccupied. Hehe Wait, before any of you think that I actually splurged on the many, many clothes, I will tell you upfront that I didn’t. I behaved relatively well, given that the temptation to shop was all around me. Why, I even stayed below the set budget! (*patting myself on the back*)

Now, why did I say I was feeling a bit guilty again?….Oh! Yes. Right….It’s not really the trip away from the kids. I know all of us need to have that kind of break every once in a while. My guilt (and gratefulness at the same time) mainly stems from the thought of how I spent most of the past few days eating to my heart’s content. *siiighhh….* It seems like even before we left for Bangkok, while we were there, and after we got back, the days have been full of celebration and food trips with friends! Here are some pictures to show you what I mean…

There! Just by looking at the pictures, I have already taken you to a tour around half of the globe! I must make a note here: I forgot to take pictures of the eat-all-you-can shabu-shabu we had before leaving, the two-day buffet we had in Bangkok, and the buffet we had the other day with salmon, lobster, and lamb, and the three birthday cakes I’ve been trying to finish here at home! (I’m sure you’d understand. It’s quite hard to think of taking pictures of food when all you want to do is devour them.)

I don’t know…I think that subconsciously, my main purpose for this post is not really to update you but one, to release my guilt (and I’m hoping that some fat is released along with the guilt)…and two, to make you want to eat too. Hehe

This post doesn’t even add value to your lives, I know….but didn’t you at least enjoy looking at the pictures and letting them tickle your palate???

PS: Thank you, Atsi Arlene and Larry for taking pictures!
