A Sunday to Cherish
It was indeed a memorable family day.
Not every Sunday that we are able to be complete as a family.Simply because we have our own families to attend to and not all of us can make it every Sunday.Yesterday is different,this served as a thanksgiving for my nephew who got hospitalized few days ago and an advance celebration of valentine.No fancy flowers and chocolates just our complete family enjoying this feast on the table.
Staring with photo can't help but smile.Nothing beats the happiness of having a complete family (well not totally complete though because of some personal reasons no need to itemized).But I am really happy we are able to enjoy the day.Kamayan is the best (eating with bare hands)no utensils used.
We ate using fresh leaves of banana.We had grilled catfish,fried hotdogs for kids,chicken adobo, boiled lady fingers (best paired with shrimp paste and vinegar).Ripe mangoes for dessert.
We set the pool for the kids.They enjoyed their swimming at home.An hour of mix emotion,Having fun as they enjoy their bath and stress on our part hahaha.They are uncontrollable in terms of being naughty and they keep on chasing each other, splashing water, my phone even get wet as I capture their photos.I just wipe it from time to time.My youngest daughter enjoyed a lot.With her tiny body she managed to mingle with her sister and her cousins.Their happiness is priceless.
They still want to stay longer in the portable pool,we just stopped them to avoid getting sick.Too much exposure to water might cause them colds.Prevention is better than cure remember.
If it's not pandemic it'll be more fun if we can be in a resort.What do you think?
We cooked different streetfoods like kikiam,fishballs,chickenballs and kwek-kwek (Fried quail eggs covered with batter).We also have the Filipino pride halohalo.Halo-halo is made up of mix sweetened banana Saba,sweet potato,beans,tapioca pearls,(and other ingredients you prefer like young coconut meat,melon strips,nata de Coco etc.),crushed ice,sugar and milk.For creamier taste add a scoop of ice cream.You can also add lecheflan and purple yam.
Not just our stomachs are filled with food ,our phones too haha.Each one of us takes photos from different angles.we just share them on our family group chat.
Yes we do have a group chat for our family.Sharing photos and updates of our daily routines.
My mother
She is really on hand in preparing the halo-halo.Well she used to sell this every summer that is why she do it so well.Isn't food becomes more delicious when served with love.Even though I am a mom myself I love how it feels to be served by my mother too.
In everything we do,no matter how strong we believe we are,we will always look for our mothers care.Even just knowing they are there to listen when we are troubled really means a lot.Hearing them advice us and uplift us gives comfort.
Anyways enough for drama haha or I might end up crying huhu.
Let us all have a loved filled valentine's day.Share love,spread love,give love,and be loved.
Written this hearts day with love.I hope you enjoy what I shared today.It is too memorable for me not to share with you.My heart is full yesterday.
The food looks delicious. The children enjoy bathing. My day starts with my mother's face. The moments spent with family are precious that makes us strong. Always be happy like that!
