I've been running I.n.K. errands and juggling appointments for two days now.

After official business I met up with Honee at UP yesterday and we went to Calumpang to buy rubber foam materials to make props for her pre-school students. We made the huge mistake of hastily boarding the first cab that came along. It was driven by an evil-smelling cabbie. Walang exag. Ambaho talaga niya. All our conversations were either cut short or left hanging in the (very thick) air, it was too hard for any of us to concentrate. We went down at Katipunan and took a jeep to Calumpang instead. It was that bad.

Then I met up with Nico at Glorietta, to buy a(nother) birthday present for my mom. After shopping we joined Nico's parents at Eastwood for late dinner.

Today's agenda was mostly bank errands. Meetings and transactions were all done by 4. I went home right away for my mom's small gathering with her tandercat friends. Nico dropped by a few hours ago, with a cake in tow. :-) Food fest na naman. :-P
