"Sunday morning, rain is falling

Steal some covers, share some skin

Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable

You twist to fit the mold that I am in"

The music from our neighbor woke me up early this morning. Are you familiar with the song? That's the song of Maroon 5, "Sunday morning". The song fits just right because today is Sunday and yes, it's raining. The weather is gloomy and I can feel the coldness from the outside. Oh, how I missed this feeling. I also woke up happy because of the song. That's one of my favorite songs that I mostly sing in the karaoke. Well, I like all Maroon 5 songs because why not? They're all dope. Their songs don't get old.

I rose from bed and went to the kitchen too see what is mom cooking. But, she didn't cooked any. And being a good son, I prepared breakfast by myself. Since it's raining and and it's cold, I made 'champorado'. Champorado is a chocolate rice porridge and is one of the most favorite breakfast or sometimes snacks of Filipinos.

It's my first time doing this so I watched some cooking tutorials on YouTube. It's easy. Please let me allow myself to be a MasterChef this time. I promise this one is serious. Alright. So let's start with the ingredients. It just depends on you on how you cook your champorado but I will just show you mine.

Ingredients

1 cup glutinous sweet rice or just the normal rice you cook

Β½ cup cocoa powder

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup powdered milk (optional)

Evaporated milk

Steps

Step 1

Put the rice in the pot. Wash and rinse it first. Since we only have 1 cup or rice, just add 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil for 10 minutes and stir gradually to keep the rice from sticking into the pot.

Step 2

Add the cocoa powder, powdered milk, sugar and salt into the rice. Continue stirring until the rice will be cooked and tender. Do it for at least 7-10 minutes or depending upon your choice. I would prefer mine to have that thick mixture so I stir it occasionally for 10 minutes and add water if needed.

When it is cooked already, serve hot and don't forget to top it with evaporated milk! Bon appetit!

My finish product is not that pleasing to the eyes haha but it really taste so chocolatey.

Expectation (image above) vs. Reality (this) 🀣

I was about to enjoy my champorado when suddenly, mom came in with my little brother. She asked me what I did there and I just pointed at the champorado. She asked my little brother if he wants to eat it, but then little brother refused because he doesn't like the color. See? That's why I want to get rid of him sometimes if only mom is not here. Mom told told him there's nothing else on the table so he has to eat it or else he will starve himself and he can't watch Adventure Time anymore. My little brother cried. Lol!

Since it's raining, I decided to just stay at home and locked myself in the room after I eat. I just spent my time browsing and watching videos on Facebook and YouTube. I got bored but then I remember it's 8.8 sale today on Shopee and I would surely have discount voucher on my purchase. I searched for some visor stickers (to be placed on my helmet visor) and luckily I found one that suits into my liking. Oh well, so I placed the order immediately without double checking it. Man, I ordered two sets of the same stickers. 😏 This is what I am telling in my article yesterday, 'Are you in hurry? Go ahead!'

My order details

I don't have a choice since I placed it already and I can't change anything about it.

Lesson learned AGAIN: We must not be in a hurry.

But there are situations that we need to do quickly like when someone's outside the bathroom telling you to do your thing fast inside because he/she needs to let out everything too. I hate that part. But I need to hurry for that someone might leave a bomb outside.

It doesn't happen everyday. So, again, don't be in a hurry if you're not Harry.

Hahahaha. That last senrence, "Don't be in a hurry if you are not Harry". Bigay mo na lang sa iba yung sticker or tabi mo na lang para sa next helmet mo. Ok naman champorado mo. Nagutom ako. Favorite ko din yan kaso di ako pwede masyado sa chocolate dahil sa migraine ko. πŸ˜” di kami naglalagay ng salt. Malagkit, tablea, sugar at water lang kami. Yung milk, evaporated pero kanya-kanyang lagay na lang.

I am planning on making a post out of it while I save your article so I can make reference to it soon, perhaps this week. I am actually wanting to try preparing the same thing again which I hoped I get it this time around.🀣 Wait for my article on my own version of expectation vs Reality 🀣🀣
