One of the moments I look forward to every day is when my body hits the bed after a day of work and chores.

By the way, I worked until 11:30 p.m. today.

It is 4 minutes till the clock hits 12 am.

Good night. 

Kittiwat Thai Kitchen

We were running around town last Saturday, from dropping packages at the post office to grocery shopping and sourcing at our local thrift stores. Our day was packed so much that the mister decided to have dinner at a Thai restaurant near his office.

Yey! That means I do not have to cook for dinner.

We dined here when it was newly opened, and maybe the last time we were here was when Jay's work opened a new location in town. This place is near my ophthalmologist, whom I visit every year.

On Saturday evening, we were surprised when we came in. The place had a new look—it's a tropical jungle, and I loved it.

Pad See Euw
(flat rice noodle, egg, Chinese broccoli with black bean sauce)

Mango Sticky Rice

By the way, I ate the Denrobium orchid flower that was served as a garnish with the mango sticky rice we ordered. This edible flower isn't sold per piece but in bulk and usually costs from $0.41 to $1.00 each. 

The taste? It tastes fresh, like a green leafy salad. 

Although I loved their curries, I ordered their Pad See Euw this time. I also didn't get any soup, but it was very tempting to get their Tom Kha Kai Soup. 

I want to go back one of these days, even just for a bowl of soup and my favorite of any Thai restaurant dish, mango sticky rice.

What's the time?

There were 11 minutes and 55 seconds to go until I finished the 10th episode of the Korean drama, My Royal Nemesis. 

I had to pause it to pee, and when I went back to bed, I noticed the mister rolled facing towards my side. He sleepily looked at me.

"Jay, unsay oras na?" (...what's the time?)

In a flash, he answered, "It's time to close your eyes and sleep." 

Hehehe. 

I didn't realize it was 1:31 a.m. already. 

7/24/2026 To the Park

The mister and I went to the park last Thursday. Thank goodness the weather has been wonderful. It was a short walk before dinner—about 2.2 miles only.

The following day, because the mister comes home early on Fridays, he invited me for a tandem bike ride back to the park again.

By the way, he comes home mid-afternoon but goes back to work (from home) at 7 p.m.

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride. We stopped by at this spot by the creek under the trees for a picnic. I packed ube hopia and coconut water for our snacks.

He thought he brought the word game, Zip-It, that he newly bought from the thrift store last weekend. Sadly, I think he forgot it at our garage.

Good thing each of us also brought books.
