How many boxes of ham did your family consume last Christmas?
For us, we have two. I am thinking of using only one since we are to give the other one to one of my relatives who happened to cancel their trip going to our house last Christmas. Whew!
So that was it. Now I still have the remaining box of our Purefoods Fiesta Ham which I am planning to heat tomorrow for breakfast and early lunch.
Have you had such similar experience before?

Inconsiderate Neighbors
Have you had one in your area?
Today I got another dose of little sleep time because of some insensitive neighbors around.
One of our neighbors in the block is celebrating his birthday and I guess he is singing it with a 'bang'.
Why singing? Let's put it this way, I came home from my shift around 10 in the morning and he was singing in full volume using a rented videoke machine. Well I didn't care much about it until I realized that I can't sleep. I locked our front door, went upstairs, tried to lock myself in my room, then in my parent's and last in my sister's room, but I can still hear not only his voice but his other relatives belting something out. I cannot stand it.
Then I sprayed some relaxing mist in my room, in the beddings but it did not help me relax and put myself to sleep.
Even the milk strategy and earplugs did not work. Goodness!
I already told Mom about it, but I'm not sure if they approached our neighbors about it, but they kept on singing until I left the house around 9:30 in the evening.
I am a very sensitive neighbor. I respect the space and privacy of other people especially when they need to have some rest. Even if I need to adjust and let go of some stuff that I want to do, I'd consider first the welfare of our neighbors before I do it.
I just cannot understand why they can't do it this time. :(

Living Far from Home
I just uploaded some pictures of the house that my parents bought for renovation. You can check it out on my callcentergal flicker account.
At first, I do not really have that much idea as to what they will use the house for. In the first place, we are already paying the equity of the house that we are suppose to occupy after our wedding in December.
But things changed after realizing how far it is to live in Binangonan if we are going to work in Makati. I estimated the travel time as well as the budget for transportation, I just found out that I need a huge budget for transpo if we will commute as well as a bigger amount to pay for the gas should we have our own car by then.
Well aside from the travel time, I also noticed on our 'test travels' that I easily get tired after reaching the 'place'. I am anticipating that if that's the case then we won't spend as much quality time doing things at home if we're both tired coming from work.
In short, I just asked my Dad if he will allow us to stay in that house after the wedding (the property is under my name anyway) and what we will do is just to pay them a monthly amount until we get to own the property.
As for the other house, we will just have it rented so it can help us pay for the monthly amortization.
How about you? How far is your pad from your parent's house? Did it make you miss your family more? :)
