Hello, Hello, Hello my dear read.cash family!βΊοΈπHow are you? Its been two days that I was not around. Hmm...Did you miss me, then? (Charss!) Anyways, How's life in the midst of pandemic? How about your health and financial statuses? I hope you still make your days productive as it is despite the situation.
Enough with the introduction, let's go on directly to the topic that I will gonna share to all of you for today's blog.
So, what's with the title?
Its all about the reason why I was not around for two days consequently. Our family celebrated the Birthday of my cousin. And, as her Tita, I helped them for the preparations, and the celebration, itself.
Meet my cousin, Rhian.
She is the eldest child of my Aunt, which is the sister of my father. Last November 23, 2021, she celebrated her 14th Birthday, actually, she had a two days birthday celebration.
During the first day, I went to my Aunt's house because I prepared the venue. (Simple designs lang, di naman bongga yung handaan.) After that, we went to town to buy the needed herbs and spices, and the other foods for the night's event. I drove my own motorcycle, while my Aunt drove hers. As for the other members of the family, they stayed at my Aunt's house and prepared the other stuffs, like the tables, chairs, and as well as cooking the dishes that had been already prepared to cook. (e.g. "Nilaga na Bisayang Manok", "Sinugbang Isda", and "Spaghetti")
At Town
The clock strikes twelve when we arrived at town, so we decided to eat our lunch before going to the market. After eating, we went immediately to the dry market and grocery store to buy all the needed stocks. As for me, I went to a salon to pamper myself. I decided to dye my hair. ("Pa-gwapa kuno ^_^") The birthday girl accompanied me in there.
After almost an hour at the salon, we immediately went to the terminal and met my Aunt in there. Then, we decided to go home. But before that, we stopped by in a bakeshop and I bought a cake for Rhian, and a "Chooks to go" using my BCH earnings in here. Right after that, we went home.
At Rhian's House
We arrived around 4:30 pm. While others were busy with the cooking stuffs, I helped cleaning the used knives, ladles, food containers, and cauldrons, and as for Rhian, she also helped on washing the dishes.
While at it, Rhian's friends came and surprised her with a birthday song and gave her their birthday greetings and gifts. After that, she continued helping me out, while her friends wait inside. The other visitors also arrived. So, my mama told them to wait a bit because the other dishes were still not totally ready to serve.
DINNER TIME... (Pakals na!)
At 7 pm, we started the "Pakals" or the eating session. But first, I took some pictures, as well as the other visitors. I also asked my other cousin to take the other pictures of us. Then, we blessed the food and sang a birthday song for Rhian. Right after that, together we partaken the foods.
After the dinner, the other visitors partaken the drinks, "Tuba" with "Pulutan". As for the girls, (Mudras), they had their "Chika-chika" and "Chismisan session". Lol. As for me, I visited my read.cash account, I went to my notifications. I saw that I received a blessings coming from the two beautiful ladies that sponsored me. I then wrote a short post, stating the reason why I was not around during the day and flexed the blessings I received that day. (Not to mention my honorable sponsors, you already knew who you are. "THANK YOU SO MUCH for the sponsorship renewal."^_^) And, we decided to go home at almost 12 midnight.
Second day...(Yesterday)
I woke up around 9 and still felt so tired. I was about to start writing my draft when my Aunt came into our house and asked if I can accompany her going back again to town. Aigoo! She forgot to have the so-called "Panagkot" in Bisaya. It was like a Thanksgiving. My mama asked me also to drive for her because yesterday was "Tabo sa Bukid", initiated by the Local Government Unit (LGU) for the farmers in our Town. It was like a gathering of all the farmers to sell their crops to other people. (No worries, "Open na po ang lugar namin, but still kailangan magsuot pa din nang mask hangga't maaari.")
So, I decided to drove my mama first before I accompanied my Aunt. Around 2:30 pm, we went again to town to have the, "Panagkot." Right after that, my Aunt went to the grocery store and bought some stuff. While Rhian and I, went to Rose Pharmacy and bought some beauty regimens. After that, we bought some meat for our viand and decided to go home.
My Aunt decided to have their dinner at home, so I informed my mama about it. I bought a cake for Rhian and she blown it. And we had our family dinner.
After a couple of hours, they decided to go home and as for us, we decided to have our good night sleep. It was almost 10 pm then.
All in all, Rhian wonderfully celebrated her 14th Birthday. She did have her Birthday Blast!π₯³π
