I wanted to share this event but got busy after returning to the city. I was slightly inactive on the blogging platforms I joined; often, I am MIA, lol. I don't have a plan to write today as these past few weeks I always felt tired ahmm aging? Of the laziness in me triggered?

Seriously, I was quite tired today; my wrist hurt after spending seven hours and forty minutes talking with different individuals and processing their payments. Supposedly today was my rest day, but since it falls on the 5th of the month (our collection day), I don't have a choice but to work. The management entrusted me with the company Gcash accounts where our clients could send their payments. Only me and my Boss (group head) had access. Somehow I felt proud upon knowing at first that it would be my additional task. Why? I was proof that I had gained the owner's trust. Now? If someone assumed the job, I would gladly endorse it. The heck, it was so demanding.

I successfully processed 150 transactions today, which involves encoding the payments in our system. No wonder my wrist hurts. Got a busy day to the point I wasn't able to eat snacks; as of the writing, I am already starving!

My Work load tracker.

When I checked the time, it passed seven in the evening, so I planned to prepare some oatmeal for dinner. Thus, after a conversation with my hubby, I changed my mind;

MeI just finished my work; I felt so tired! My back and wrist hurt. My stomach is growling, but I no longer want to go outside to look for food. Perhaps I will have some oatmeal.

HimWhy oatmeal? You almost spent the whole day working, common treat yourself. Just order at food panda or grab. What do you want? Lasagna? 

Me: Naa, I don't want to spend buying food delivery today. I don't have enough penny till next payday.

Him: No problem, I will be sending you money tomorrow. Common, get up, buy your food what the used of working here if you get starve.

See? He was a Big temptation! I tried to reason out as I didn't want to eat more carbs at night. Yet, he kept convincing me... What do you expect? I am an obedient wife, so I took my phone and opened the Food Panda app. 

While waiting for my order to be delivered, and since I am mumbling about food, let me share with you today some happenings during my vacation. Yeah, it is all about food too.!!

My sister went home with me and was the family "Apple of the Eye." No, I am not kidding, as she was really. She was everyone's favorite and got the "MOST" of all. Most beautiful, kind-hearted. More intelligent, etc. With all the positive traits she had, no wonder why she got that title.

It's okay, though; I am old enough to understand that there was always a favorite. It might be work, in the family, or even in our circle of friends. That's fine with me, at least for my husband; I am his favorite.

So since Ate ( how I address my older sister ) was at home, the family decided to have a small celebration. Just lunch. We set a date when all my siblings are available from their work. My father planned the menu together with my other sisters and me? All I did to give my share, haha what can you expect? Cooking is not my forte.

What we cooked, opps let me rephrase! What they cooked are;

Tinolang Manok

This is the iconic Filipino menu; chicken (tastes better if native ), papaya or sayote, moringa, and lemon grass ( to add aroma).

We have a lot of chicken at home, so Father just slaughtered some.

KBL (Kadyos Baboy, langka)

Of course, we wouldn't miss this famous Ilonggo dish! Ingredients are Pork, pigeon peas, and jackfruit. Yes, the latter mentioned might be a fruit, but in my area Vizmin (Visayas and Mindanao), it was cooked for viand. You choose if you want to add string beans or sigarilyas.

Estofado

This is one of my favorites, too, but not the pork part: just the fried banana and the carrots. The sauce was a little bit sweet too.

Then my other sister just bought letchon manok and liempo.

We also have some fruits, a basket of Rambutan.

Too much food? It was not, as we are one big Happy family. Didn't I mention I have seven siblings? Plus, their better halves and children. This food is just enough for us.

However, we didn't expect one of my sisters to buy one DIRTY Ice cream too! We forgot to inform her that we already order one for the kids. It was not just a gallon but like a cart. Is anyone here familiar with it?

This is what I am talking about, too much ice cream. It's my favorite, but a cup for me now is enough.

Was my blog makes you hungry? hehe, don't worry; I am too! So bye for now, and I need to eat first.

See you later!
