A boiling oil splashes on my right hand
This morning was nothing new since the weather was still the same in the past few days. I actually wanted to go outside, chill, and buy some street foods. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to because for most of my free time, the rain poured really hard. Supposedly, I would publish a Wednesday walk yesterday but due to frequent and heavy rain, I canceled my plan. Yet, here I am in our house, bored and alone. My family members were all outside working and schooling.
At 10 am this morning, I decided to ask myself what's a good dish to cook since it's raining. I don't want to eat pork or chicken as of the moment because I feel like I would gain a feather anytime soon. Fortunately, @Jijisaur was online that time and she suggested Adobong Sitaw. It was actually good food since I missed it too. I bought three strings of string beans, ¼ ground pork, and 1 kilo of galunggong. If you don't know, I am the cook in our household. Most of the dishes we ate were cooked by yours truly. I have loved cooking since I was young.
After market
I went home holding the bag that contained all the ingredients I bought a while ago. It was quite a long walk since the market was a few blocks away from our home. Since I don't have a bicycle, I walked and I think it was my little exercise too. I didn't bring an umbrella because the weather was gloomy. It wasn't hot either. One thing I noticed about myself was that I was easily exhausted and you know the feeling of running out of breath? That's what I felt, and the reason I wanted to pursue exercising. Unfortunately, I cannot do push ups for long because my right hand, in the wrist area, has a broken bone ( it's a fact).
Expectedly, I was alone at the house, cooking and preparing the ingredients alone. Well, this kind of situation became new for me since Monday. Supposedly, three of my parents' children will be left at home, but since they are schooling now. I am now alone, nothing to do, but to enjoy being alone in the house. There are actually many things to do while you are alone. I can clean some parts of the house without being bothered and annoyed by my sisters. Also, I can write multiple articles so that I would have plenty of drafts. It was truly a scary one if I lost some drafts because I know it would be difficult to write when I go to University soon.
Cooking time!
For the longest time, a very unfortunate incident happened to me. You know the drill in cooking; heating and adding oil until it boils. But this cook of yours didn't realize that the oil is really hot and I accidently threw the galunggong in the pain. So what happened is, the hot oil splashes in my right hand since it was the hand I used for cooking. Goodness! I immediately opened the faucet and let the burnt skin watered. It was not painful at first since the effect isn't that obvious. But a few hours later, my skin turned into deep brownish one and there is a watery skin emerging. I touched it several times, and shocks, it was painful.
The afternoon had passed, and I was bored to death, really. I had no one to talk with although I want to do some video call or call a friend of mine. I didn't bother them even though I really want to. Sometimes, I have this moment that I wang to hangout with stranger. Chat, have a casual talk, and eat food. But then, it doesn't happen since the pandemic. I'm an introvert person, but still I have a desire and will to make friends. I think it's kind of obvious the way I approached everyone both in blogging comments and messages. But still, my right hand is in pain.
