Snacks Courtesy of My Niece

What a joy to receive these simple surprises from my home buddy.

Tell me how can I eat this cute face?

Maybe I just have to gobble it up straight from this box without looking inside.  This is called siopao from a Filipino- Chinese fast food restaurant.

This sweet Ensaymada goes perfect with a cup of black coffee.  Ensaymada or Ensaimada is a pastry contributed to Philippine culture by our first conqueror – Spain. 

Last but not the least, potatoes in halves with cheese and bacon from my favorite pizza parlor.  No worries folks, these were not given to me on same day.  I am fine with calories, and all.. I do my walking exercise almost everyday until such time I buy a new swimsuit. :)

Fun at Sports Fest

T. G. I. F.!  Thanks God, it’s Friday! I am not advertising a restaurant here. That is usually the most- friendly phrase to everyone working from Monday to Friday.

After logging out and taking off my headset at 6:30 AM. I went to see my team captain to sign my evaluation for the month of July. He was discussing with our lady Office Manager the upcoming office sports fest. The event was actually held Sunday, the 8^th of August. They invited some people as cheerers to boost the morale of the players at our division. Our Call Center has several accounts. The event is kind of intramural sports fest. Our lady boss advised my team captain I am coming, with a wide grin on her youthful face. I could not say no to my boss. She seldom asked me a favor. I kidded if there is going to be a free lunch. She said our team captain will take charge of our lunch. The lunch was a sumptuous siopao from North Park, a Chinese restaurant. Siopao is steamed rice flour with meat and egg filling inside. It goes with a sauce especially made for sipao.

There were four of us from our team who attended the event including our team captain. We were early birds. The event was held at a sports complex not too far away from our office. It was a pity no award for the early twitters. Our office van driver was tasked to bring the cheerers to the place. There was already a volley ball game going on when we arrived. We kind of snubbed the effort of the players being not our athletes. I know you could guess what we did? What else but took our photos from my didgicam and our cell phones. I do not have permission from my officemates to publish their photos so I am posting mine.  

 Oppps! Hold on to that laugh, okies? ☺

I couldn't shape the balloon like a crown. I guess this will do  for now :)

We were advised to wear something with yellow. Your Jolly Princess wore yellow tight jeans. The yellow balloon was an added accent.  Sorry folks. I did not stay very long. I went home early. I could not tell who won. I was just too tired, clapping and shouting on the cheering competition. It had rained upon getting off the van. I did not bring umbrella. I stopped by a café closer to the place I live. My favorite blueberry cheese cake tasted so good with a cup of coffee, of course.
