Afternoon Tea With My Constants

October 26, 2022

It's hump day friends! Indeed, it is a day that we want to get over with. Classes are suspended today due to heavy rains. The municipal mayor declared the suspension of classes at all levels. It's the first time I observed that our mayor issued such an order. Our former mayor never suspended a class before. I have never heard of him/her. They're a couple. After the husband's term, the wife took over. Both of them aren't proactive. When they're bashed and urged by people to do something, they would just turn deaf ears. Too bad.

Before lunch, I went home from school and then spend the rest of the day in bed. I thought I would end the day feeling under the weather. Thank God, my sister saved the day. She messaged us in the group chat and then the rest is history. She treated us to snacks. It's not new to us though. She's generous especially when she got extra money. It's just that we rarely go out and eat together as siblings.

My sister asked us what we are up to. There's not much choice as the stalls in the market are only a few. I suggested we go to a local store that serves spare ribs unfortunately, it was closed. So, we have no choice but to check what's available on 7/11.

My brother had cucumber juice. I got iced coffee that I wasn't able to finish. My sister got hot coffee. We paired it with a hot dog. It's not much and we only sat down there for less than thirty minutes. However, I'm grateful for the little time and the food that we shared. Nowadays, we seldom eat together at our table at home. My brother is busy with his studies and my sister is also caught up in her life circus.

My brother is fond of taking photos and I kept on telling him to take more as I'm dissatisfied with the photos that he took. I looked thin. Oh, I'm really thin but there are times when the camera can do its tricks.

After taking numerous clicks, I gave up. My shirt is loose but I like wearing it cause it is comfy however, now I realized that I look like a stick on it. I even look older than my sister.

Oh, God. When will I gain more weight? I understand now why people keep on commenting about how thin I am. It's because I don't look good and attractive. Maybe I should get married and have kids. They say giving birth could make you gain weight. It's effective based on my mom's experience. That would be the last resort. lol.

For now, I should be consistent in taking vitamins. I should not skip meals and I should eat healthily. Most importantly, I should allocate more time to rest. Help me, God.

If other people are disgusted about how thin I am, how much more me? I'm feeling insecure too and I badly want to gain weight.

I would take it as an inspiration and a reminder to take it easy and be a little kinder to myself.

Thanks for reading. Until then.
