a usual saturday

got up late in the afternoon due to insomnia (like thats something new...) only to find out that my folks left me at home. my aunt and cousin were to arrive later in the afternoon. by the time my folks return, they ask me to cook the early dinner to be served but they didnt buy the ingredients i would need for the dishes they requested so i ended up going to the supermarket to pick up some stuff. my sister accompanied me, since she also needed to pick up some things from the mall. we were able to purchase what we needed in a jiffy so we ended up wasting some of our precious time dallying through the car show in the middle of the mall. a few car manufacturers brought some of the newest models with them and we were tempted to go test them out. we went through that honda car, a jazz i think and the mazda 3... the cars were so nice, and since i cant afford it, do the next best thing, check the machine out. they were such sweet rides.. too bad i cant get my own. oh well... after wasting a lot of time at the mall, i had to race home and my phone started beeping and stuff since they were getting worried that i might not be able to finish cooking before our visitors arrive from thailand. when i got home, i got right to work. good thing i got a lot of reluctant helpers. it was a chaotic time in my kitchen but we were able to prepare everything in time. we had some shrimp, clams, squid, lasagna and bunch of other stuff.. and of course, cake, 3 flavors of cake... after all that was said and done and eaten... we all had a nice reunion. i was tired as hell, but it was nice to see my relatives again. my insomnia left me alone that night, but returned the next day. how sad...
