The year 2008 was about to end and I still had 10 days of leave credits left. Fortunately, my boss allowed me to use them in one go and I got to go back home to Cebu for a 3-week vacation. Was it really a vacation? Here's a list of the things I did (aside from celebrating Christmas and the new year):
- Waste half a day at the Police Station after the car I was driving got hit by a motorcycle (on my 2nd day in Cebu! Argh!!!)
- Celebrate my birthday with family and friends (of course, there's Poker and Red Horse)
- Facilitate the preparation of my High School batch's 10th-year reunion (this used up most of my time but it was worth it)
- Pay my contributions to SSS, Pag-ibig, and Philhealth (when you're dealing with government agencies, you don't get things done in one day)
- Have dinner with my beloved's family (ahem...)
- Have dinner with my family in Gerry's Grill at The Terraces
- Celebrate my mother's 60th birthday (God bless her)
- Visit my oh-so-slowly-but-surely-growing goat farm and take pictures of the "kids"
- Eat fresh young coconuts with my cousins
- Attend my high school's Grand Alumni Homecoming
- Buy 2 months worth of groceries (it's cheaper than in Singapore, you know)
- Play 3 (not straight) nights of Poker (now this is what I call a vacation)
- Fix a friend's virus-infected computer with the help of Ubuntu
- Watch videos of my best friend's wedding
- Eat Lechon, Chicken Joy, Burger Steak, ToSiLog, Siomai, Quesadillas, and Balot (Yeah!!!)
- Cook chicken rice and let my family have a taste of Singapore cooking
- Cook chicken rice at my beloved's and let her family have a taste of Singapore cooking
- Open a Time Deposit Account and put in all my savings to it (I'll miss you!)
- Tour the recently-opened Crown Regency Hotel and Towers
- Ride the country's (or is it the world's?) first Edge Coaster!
Now my vacation is over and I'm back in Singapore. It really feels good when you're able to do many things in a short span of time. Come to think of it, I did a lot of things except update this blog. Xp
