Xmas Gifts and Pains
Forgot to mention: my brother Wilson and wife Jocelyn arrived from Hong Kong and made it to the Xmas party on the 24th. They got me the Stomp Out Loud DVD and a couple of VCDs for Pa. Sis got me an electric toothbrush while Boit gave me 50 blank CDs. No more swiping from his drawer, then. Everyone else gave cash. Sweet.
Yesterday 5-Kim held a Xmas lunch party at her house in Marianas, underestimating the number of guests that would arrive. After finishing off her lamb chops and steaks she finally had a can of Spam opened just to accomodate the appetites. Wilson brought carrot cake. Since 5-Kim and the kids were heading off to Naga later that evening so Ma decided to take everyone out to Gloria Maris for dinner. Parking wasn't too difficult, but the place was packed, nonetheless. We ended up with tables in the farthest section on the 2nd floor because someone was celebrating his 90th birthday in the main dining area. Ran into Irene Uy (who's now working at SJCS's administration office), Marilyn Abella and Aranet Cheng (who's now sporting a Manchurian-style pigtail). While conversing with the ladies I was carrying my niece Mia. I didn't know how long that took, and I know I was using my left arm to support her but for some reason my right shoulder is kiling me. The pain is similar to what I experienced a few months ago, minus the crooked stance and sore neck. The self-applied BenGay and massage last night helped, which is more than I can say for those painkillers I took.
