“You’ve missed your childhood if you’ve never tasted Nutella.”
Just this Christmas vacation, I began to develop another food addiction and that is with Nutella. You can eat Nutella in several ways: eating it straight from the jar (which I do all the time), make it as your sandwich spread, have it as the dip of your junk food, and such. Nutella turned into my best buddy whenever I’m sitting in front of the laptop and watching a bunch of shows online. Who doesn’t agree that this is God’s gift to food lovers? I don’t have an addiction to chocolates unlike most people my age, but Nutella is the only exception. If not for that big jar in the kitchen of my parents’ flat, I wouldn’t have gained weight this Christmas! >:)
Now let me tell you about the events that took place between Christmas Eve and last night:
Christmas Eve - Mom and I went to Ion Orchard to do a little strolling which included a trip to Forever 21 and Mango. I forgot where we had lunch :)) We devoured on one large chocolate cupcake and a mocha frappuccino from Starbucks. After that, we went home and slept for a while before meeting up with dad once again at Ion Orchard. The three of us had lunch at a very yummy restaurant outdoors that served authentic cajun chicken and feisty baked potatoes. Subsequently, we had a long walk to a mall with a Forever 21 store to buy a sweatshirt. I was supposed to buy a Tinkerbell sweatshirt but we saw Sleepy and Kermit sweatshirts so I changed my mind. Out of my dad’s suggestion, I bought the Kermit sweatshirt! Before we returned to the flat, we bought some food for the Media Noche that night.
I’ve mentioned in my tweets that the flatscreen TV got busted so there was no way to entertain ourselves except the Internet and going outdoors. But on Christmas Eve, my dad urged to bring out the old TV and turn it on. Boom! It worked, and it made my dad so happy because he can watch his favorite action movies on cable again.
While waiting for Media Noche to be served, I was overwhelmed with the flood of Christmas greetings on Twitter and FB. Not to mention about my constant tweet spamming that night :)) For the meal, my dad prepared us chicken wings and rotelli pasta. It was so yummy we were full, and we went to bed at approximately 3 AM.
Christmas Day - Daytime was a total snooze; all we did was to sleep and park ourselves in front of the TV the whole morning and afternoon. At around 8 PM, we went to Marina Bay Sands and had dinner at Makansutra. Boy, the calamares there was the best and softest of its kind that I’ve ever tasted. I also loved the cereal prawns! When dinner ended, we had a photowalk at the Marina Bay, complete with the flashing lights. We managed to catch the last MRT train to Redhill at around 11:30 PM. On the sidenote, I was glad to hear the voices of my dad’s family back home in Cavite:)
Yesterday - Mom and dad’s restday from work! In a surprise turn of events, mom booked tickets for the whole family to see Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol at the Tiong Bahru Plaza. I was hyped to go to the cinema since I haven’t been in any since August during my blockmates’ double birthday bash at the Galleria. I really enjoyed the movie, and I think it’s the best among the four movies under the Mission Impossible serial.Due to my long period of sleep last night, I fancied myself to playing Tap Studio 3 on my mom’s iPhone and reading blogs until the wee hours of the morning.
Today was pretty dull. Why are all Tuesdays lame? I went outdoors only to buy my lunch and take mom to dinner downstairs. Mehhhh. I slept twice, first from 2-3 PM then 6-8. I even took an early dinner just to snooze everything off. Now, I wish tomorrow would be a better day.
