It's Friday and time for a look-back:1. Paying attention to my nook on its wakey mode. Monday I arrived at work an hour early. Brown birds were chattering precociously on the still-empty parking lot. The gardener's dog was munching a rubber slipper behind the gate. The place smelt like it had never known pollution of any kind. I liked what I witnessed.
2. Multi-lingual multi-tasking:
- ears listening to an earphone song, nakalimutan mo na bang tumawa? (have you forgotten to laugh?)
- fingers composing a text message, nikaon na si CJ? (has CJ eaten yet?)
- eyes scanning a PR paper, "... government to mobilize resources for defense and military establishments"
- mouth clarifying instructions, mai ao tini; song akhan sippeht (I don't want it here. Send it to Bldg. 18)
*Three languages, one dialect lasting less than 3 minutes. I thought it was fun.
3. Apple pie with warm custard sauce; beef cheese tacos garnished with tomatoes and cilantro eaten over good conversation with a girl friend
4. A friend emailed how his little relatives 'came tearing through his house unannounced.' The upside was getting a butterfly kiss from 3-year old Olivia.
5. Bonus at the hair saloon. I was there for a routine shampoo and blow dry. But a saloon professional went the extra mile by giving me a head massage as well.

LOL It's hard enough for me to multi-task in just one language, especially when everything is verbal. My son likes to talk to me while I'm reading blogs, and I can't do both at the same time.
happy weekend:)
The food and conversation with your friend sound great!
I've never had a head massage, but I bet I would like it.
Multi-lingual.. always fun! I am working on my 3rd and 4th languages right now. :)
What an extra special treat!
Oh to be blessed by a HEAD MASSAGE! Maybe God has that one reserved for my future! How LOVELY!
I think I’ll cook tacos for dinner—you made them sound good. Have a great weekend.
Age has lessened my multi tasking a little.
Your friend meet up sounds great.
I usually have ice cream on my apple pie but warm custard sounds good!
Ooh a head massage - I love them!
Happy weekend!
Melli, I'm in a situation where I need to learn more than 2 languages, that's most probably why I'm doing it. I wouldn't bother if it wasn't necessary :) Here's hoping you'll get a head massage soon :)
Gattina, yes. apparently lol!
Lisa, oh the birds, maybe indeed. I hope you enjoy your tacos :)
Cindy, you noticed that! I had fun watching that dog with the slipper :D
Island Sparrow, warm custard was nice. It tasted yummy on the cold pie. I loved it.
Barbarah, it's how life is for me nowadays. Sometimes it could get chaotic. I have to put effort to pay attention to the little things around me that have zero stress in them. Thanks for your input.
