Rainy Day

When it rains it pours. It seems like the rain has followed us here in the US. haha. before we left the Philippines, there was also rain. (The rain seems to have taken a liking to us, thats why it followed us here. lol) Tita is having a very bad cold. I found it difficult to go downstairs to the kitchen when we woke up this morning because we thought that the security alarm was still on. we had to wait for them to wake up to turn it off from inside their room. it's a weekend that's why they had to sleep in a little bit late, they deserve that rest.

After having breakfast, our tito had us get drawer clasps, the things that help slide the drawer easily not sure what they really are called, and had duplicates of the keys to the house. Before heading home, we stopped by his mom's house so that we could be aquainted with each other. I was surprised to know that she was living by herself in that big house not far from where we are staying at. She was very nice, talkative and very accomodating. She toured me and my sisters inside her house that was full of pictures hanging on the walls and on tables. I can tell that she is a good mother and raised her children very well as her children and grandchildren visit her every now and then. What was more surprising was when we found out that she was 80+. Wish I was as active as her when I reach that age. (I do hope I reach that age! ^^ )


We then went home to eat lunch. But before that we bought some more medicine for our tita who has the cold and sensodyne for my teeth. It really hurts, especially if I drink cold water, or anything cold. I wish it would go away. Speaking of wellness, I'm glad that mama is feeling a little better than the other day. I told tita that the shopping that they had yesterday must've helped her recuperate quickly. Haha. Mama took lolo to his dialysis today, I haven't called them yet, but I am hoping that they're doing well there. Also my brothers, who I miss dearly, I wish that they're not wrecking anything at our other tita's home. (the tita who we declined last time, remember?) Bah! They're all grown up, no use worrying, I'll just get wrinkles.

After lunch, we then headed to the Filipino Store to buy some fish coz I was going to cook sinigang for dinner. But before that, our tito surprised us by dropping us first at this sporting needs store to get us shoes. Our tita must've noticed that our shoes weren't fit for the environment and the rain. (I brought my closed shoes, the plastic ones and a cracs flats, haha! my sneakers were taken away by somebody before we left the philippines). I felt bad when I just ignored the friendly store personnels there as I was picking the shoes. I can help myself. lol. or I'm just afraid to speak in english. haha. After purchasing the shoes, we headed to that store. Bought fish, and other stuff needed for dinner. I couldn't find any Camote tops. wahahaha... and the kangkong was also different - the leaves were thinner than the ones we have there.

Dinner turned out to be great, I used salmon instead of milk fish. added broccoli to it and of course the tamarind soup base. I wonder who won on tonight's game? I wish the Kings had won though.
