Happy New Year, Everyone!
Hello lovely people! Happy New Year to everyone. I know we are all looking forward to a better year in our lives and our crypto account, lol.
Christmas is over. The Christmas tree, Santa and all the decorations inside the house has been taken down and were all put-away today. But surely time flies and they're not going to stay in the shed for too long.
I'm busy. I am. Because I have to go home this month. And my body and mind are all over the place. I'm happy that I'm going to see my family in the Philippines. But I don't know how my family especially the kids cope without me. With the price of flights, I am the only one flying. So they'll all be left here.
The other day, I talked to Tia and told her that I have to go home cause her Lola, my Mom is not well at the minute. And the first thing she said was,
But who will cook for me?
But I'm going to miss you.
You know, she was teary-eyed and I hug her and show her how she can call and video calls me when she misses me. I even teach her how to send me a voice message and tried it right away. But still, she's not happy and I know she won't.
I told her that Daddy, Jigz and Lola will help her with whatever she wanted to eat and need.
Today, I teach Jigz how to cook rice. This time I let him cook it himself because he will not survive without rice.
Also today, I teach my husband to cook tocino. He loves it and so he needs to learn how to make it. Tomorrow, I have to teach him how to make Chicken Pastel or what they just called "White Sauce."
Mum, already telling me that she's going to miss me when I go home. She's sad but told me I have to see my family.
I have to make a checklist for the kids. I even make a Device bin. That they are not allowed to use their gadgets phones or Nintendo without doing at least 3 things I have on the list. I don't want them to be constantly on the screen when I'm away.
I'm packing my things and what to bring home. My sister just gave birth and the other one is any time now so I'm excited to meet my new nephews. I laugh coz my sister just wants "Sudocrem". It was 3 years ago since the last time I went home so it's been a long time.
Pasalubong
Homecoming gift? I told them I'm going to bring onions. Loads of onions! I've heard how expensive onion is in the Philippines now and I'm not joking when I told them that I'm bringing onions. And they laugh. No chocolate this year, just onion hahaha.
But kidding aside what's our favourite pasalubong?
Chocolates
Perfumes
Shoes
Clothes
Soaps
But those will never be enough. And what do we really need when we are about to go home?
MONEY!
Loads of it. 🤣
Let's summon all the good fortune this 2023! Oh Crypto Market, keep it, Green!
Cheers!
Happy new year, Momma. I wish you an exciting year ahead. God bless your family even more. It's another year and I believe all will go well for you.
I read this and smiled all through. You sure know how to capture the hearts of your reader.
3 years since your last visit...I know you are excited about the trip even though everyone would miss your cooking hahaha...who wouldn't especially with your magic hands.
They would miss you at home and I wish you safe trip. Don't worry, with video calls, you can teach them how to cook better while you are away 🤣😂.
