Last weekend of August 2021

This is just a rundown of how my weekend was.

I wanted to draft an article last night but the left side of my head has been continuously knocking me since 2PM. I know I slept late Friday night because my brother was still up messaging me on what food we are going to order. Since he was going to pay, I needed to do the research for him. LOL. We ended up ordering from a Chinese restaurant. I was not aware that they have suckling pig and a whole size is priced at Php4960 (around $100). It was almost half the price of the cochinillo that one Filipino celebrity was selling. We did not order a whole size rather a small serving just to satisfy my brother's craving. I really hope I can save up for that in time for my birthday.

I only had 6 hours of sleep but I never thought I would have a migraine attack until I ate a single piece of small Chocnut. LOL. It was enough to ruin the rest of my Saturday but I still bathed our dogs. I had snack and a black coffee after but the pain was still there. Took a long bath and the pain had subside when it hits the shower. The moment I stepped out, there were few soft punches until it gradually became intense. I even wanted to slam my head against the wall because of the pain. I was nauseous that I did not eat dinner nor drink my evening tea. I was messaging some virtual friends and when I really could not take it, I placed my phone on my side table and instantly closed my eyes.

Sleeping early means waking up early. If only I do not have dramas to watch during weekday, I would want to sleep as early as 10PM. I had 2 mugs of extra hot black coffee since the pain transferred from left to the right side of my head when I woke up. It slightly helped relieved my migraine and it would have been even moreso if only I had 3 mugs. LOL. Though I do not want to exceed more than that because I might palpitate.

When I was fixing myself, it was ok but we get to eat at past 12PM. It was expected that my brother and his family would arrive around those times. Sometimes it was even later than that so most of us here were already starving. LOL. When it was 12 noon, I grabbed a small bowl and had a few spoons of rice with kare-kare sauce. I really could not take it. LOL. I even joked my dad that my brother and his family just woke up. LOL. Other than Chinese food, we also ordered some Filipino food from my dad's aquaintance.

When was the last time you had a meal with the whole family? As much as I wanted to take pictures of all of us by the dining table, I didn't. I was really hungry that I was the first one to sit and started digging. LOL. We just talked about the news and current affairs while we were eating. What do you usually talk about with your family when you are all eating? We also talked about my godson's online schooling.

After we had lunch, we proceeded to the living room and continued our bonding.we played Jenga but my godson kept on destroying the tower. LOL. We were suuppose to play dominoes but we forgot how to play it anymore. I know that we have to connect how many dots with each other but the question was how do we start with it. LOL. Like how to distribute each domino to the players. They tried Googling it but we just watched the TV. Have you played domino before? How do we start playing it? How about the distribution of each domino?

It rained hard this afternoon that I was not able to let my godson pick some flowers from our garden. They left before dinner time. I just hope and pray that there would be a cure to this virus and there would be an end to this pandemic so we can all be with our loved ones anytime we want.

Thank you for making it this far. I will try to continue about some of the skincare products that I have tried before tomorrow if I would not be that busy. This weekend has been a little busy for me plus my head is acting up again as of typing this and I am feeling nauseous. I did not eat anything that can trigger my migraine. Maybe because I was really sleepy but I tried to stay awake. Anyway, hope you all had a productive weekend.
