November to remember

Went to see the San Francisco 49ers play against the Tennessee Titans at the Candlestick Park last November 8 with Fil and our friends. It was a great day, sunny but cool and we were all wearing RED! :) The 49ers lost but we still had a great time being there in the football stadium and experience the game LIVE! not even a super duper hyperreal oversized-screen LED TV could get you that close to the feeling...

Manny Pacquiao pounded Cotto in a thrilling 12-rounds of boxing last November 14 which we watched on pay-per-view at the Coyoca residence in Milpitas. We had a party, overflowing food and thankfully our kababayan delivered the goods and made us again proud to be Filipino.

Sadly, the whole family was bitten by the flu bug. First it was me a couple of days after Pacquiao's fight (Monday) but i managed to combat it with Tylenol and rest. By Wednesday I got rid of the fever but cough and colds took over at the same time that Fil started feeling sick. That night, Racrac's temperature reached 100. Thursday morning Fil left to see the doctor (and i tell you he's not really the type who would see a doctor immediately so i knew then that he's feeling really bad) and he was prescribed with Tamiflu and something for his cough. After lunch, Racrac's fever still did not subside so we brought him to urgent care clinic (his fever was 103!) and was also prescribed with Tamiflu. For some reason, i forgot about my own illness, started feeling better and took care of my two patients. They were back to normal after a couple of days and that's when i started coughing again. tsk.tsk. because of that, i missed my New Moon movie date with the girls and the deluxe pedi bonding after huhuhu... :(((

Had thanksgiving dinner with friends at the Taladua residence. We pardoned the turkey and instead had lechon and lots of food totally unrelated to the occasion. The only thanksgiving dinner food we had at the table was the pecan pie :) The next day, Black Friday, we stayed home and put up our Christmas tree. Too lazy to go out and join the crazy shopping crowd.

Also this November we repainted Racrac's room and got him a twin-sized bed with a set of Disney's Cars themed bedding. Oh how he loves cars! i never thought those tiny diecast car models could be exciting for boys his age. At 21 months, he now sleeps ALONE on his bed in his room and he likes it. Maybe he is still too young to feel scared about the idea. He's been sleeping there for 2 weeks already although there were some nights he woke up at 4am, hopped into our bed and slept in the middle.

Now that his crib-turned-toddler bed is out of our room, we have reclaimed our own space and have it redecorated. Our bed is now positioned where it should be and we have new curtains and beddings too yey! :) We felt so good about it that we also changed the curtains in our living room...finally!

And now our Christmas tree is all decorated and lighted up. December is here...let the merry holidays begin!
