Christmas Day 2010

Day 6/14 of my vacay

• I did not even eat breakfast coz' I wanted to start early on my shopping. Yay! For early salary day and a bonus to boot so I can buy gifts for my family and friends.
• I went to the Serramonte Mall but I stopped at the farmer's market that they were having in the parking lot area there. I bought 2 bunches of Tiger Lily which smells divine for $6. Then, I also bought some penoy balut (6) for $3.
• 
  
  
• I ate @Mcdonald's, I had the sausage and egg mcgriddle, hashbrown and coffee.
