For several days already, andrea and her sister arlene have been gearing up for a saturday outing at SM Mall of Asia. It was supposed to be a celebration for a combination of reasons. First, it’s a post birthday celebration for arlene whose birthday was last Thursday, May 15. Second, it was also a post mother’s day gift for mamu (andrea & arlene’s mom, mateo’s grandma, and also my mom-in-law). Third, it was supposed to be the first day of the World Pyro Olympics at MOA.
It would have been a perfect weekend getaway had a typhoon not come into the picture. In the end, we had to settle for dinner at Trinoma instead. Basically, we spent most of the Saturday there at mamu’s store playing billiards, filling the wine refrigerators (the term I used to coin the liquor coolers), and simply lounging around. It wasn’t until four in the afternoon that we decided to head out to Trinoma to eat dinner. Our supposed to be weekend at MOA became a weekend at mamu’s instead.
