5 on Friday

Journal 1 Minute
  1. Groceries shopping could be fun when it’s done with the little kid. I write down the list, Lizzy cross it over as we get things, and she helps me to carry a 1/3 of the groceries to home. I don’t know how is it possible that we always run out of fresh vegetables and tofu by Thursday, no matter how much I buy. I could have wait one more day as Friday is my usual groceries day, but we ran out of toilet paper so a trip was needed by Thursday.

2. I finally got to have an in-house massage with a new company that supposedly to be the best in Jakarta for home spa. I book for me and husband. Two therapists arrived on time, brought a good quality massage bed, a light, scent, and music. I had mine in Sofia’s room while husband had it at our bedroom. It was soooo good, exactly what I needed after Wednesday’s hard run workout.

3. I binged 5 episodes of the perfect couple. OMG! I am saving the last episode for the weekend.

4. My mom is arriving in two weeks and I’m ordering things from China, things that I didn’t know we needed. hahaha… examples:

  • bra, socks, underwear for Sofia;
  • underwear and running socks for me;
  • running water bottles, running belts, and hair band for me;
  • birthday presents from all 3 of us for Sofia’s 12th birthday;
  • next level piano exam books;
  • alarm clocks for the girls;
  • slippers;
  • 4 new swimsuits for the girls;
  • sneakers for Sofia. Her feet grow so fast!
  • Pjs
  • hair brush
  • sun jacket

5. New round of job searching starts! Exciting and busy time ahead!

I have always loved traveling and travel often for work. But 2.5 years ago we moved to Manila and started to travel more for leisure. It was the start of our journey to explore the world and ourselves as a family. My daughters love traveling with passion and always want to go to new places, meet new people, try new food. This blog will record our journey in this new living style and my thoughts around it.

  1. How nice that your mom is coming! That’s a long list of stuff… ha. Why do these things specifically have to come from China? The specific brands etc? Seems like where you are in such a big city like Jakarta would have pretty much everything, no?

  2. I’m so glad your mom is coming. That will be a fun visit and I know that your girls were sooo sad when she went hope after the DC trip. Hope you have a great time!

    An at-home massage sounds divine. Gold stars for arranging it.

  3. That’s amazing that your mom is coming! I always order things from Russia when a relative is coming. Tea. Cookies. Canned foods.
    I need to get groceries this weekend, we have nothing in the refrigerator.
    This week has been a grinder for me… I am just so beat… I need rest, lots and lots of rest.

  4. That is cute that you had a helper on your grocery trip! Phil does all of our shopping. It’s probably been 5+ years since I have done it!

    Good luck with the job search! I am excited to see what country you end up in next! And how exciting that you will see your mom soon!!
