In the quietest of the night 

I am no longer a woman, not a wife, not a mother;

I am reduced as a grieving daughter

The Little Curry House and my IKEA Pasabuys

Reiko and Danica went to IKEA to shop for Dan's dining chairs.  

Nag take advantage na lang ako and nagpasabuy nung mga items na naka add to cart ko. 

Madami pa sana ako gustong bilhin, pero ayun nga mahirap nga pala kami.  

Buti na lang niyaya ako ni Boss ng food trip, medyo sumaya ako.  

Ang sarap dito! Dayuhin nyo! Kaso tiny restaurant and street parking lang.

Crispy Pata Daysss

So ayun, the following day dumating si tita Karen at nag request ng....... Crispy Pata. Buhay pa naman kami at natuloy din mag bibingka with Nurse Ninang Tata Tiw and Ninong Kikomelon.  

Hindi talaga nagpa awat katakawan ko, pag uwi naman Sibyulee date with Mombies. 

Proud na proud na ko sa hindi ko pag rice. Pero nakarami sa bulgogi, kimchi, and that sweet potato thing.  

Also proud na di na rin nagkape dahil kung magkataon ika 3rd cup na yon. 

Bakit ako ganto???

Kabuwanan weight pa rin magbbirthday na anak ko. Huhu stahhp na self!!!

Plug ko lang affordable food tray with the Best sisig in Pulilan

Crispy Pata Day

Flippin thru the pages of my 2022 Starbucks Planner slash journal para ijustify ang pag-papa biktima ko sa consumerism at mag start ulit mag collect ng stickers for 2023 planner.  

This year's planner entries were mostly Nikokai's appointment and some random gala.  

I just need to write somewhere, and by somewhere I mean my annual Starbucks planner.

Anyway, I found OG yaya's new Facebook account! Di sya nag reply nung huling beses na kinamusta ko sya on her old account. Sabi nya kasi kay Ali nagka sunog sa area nila. Di ko alam if there's any truth to that.  

I'll admit, hinanap ko sya, okay? And I know nga na mahilig sya mag create ng bagong account, which according to her, is because nalolock or something, forgets password and 'di makabalik.

Ganto pala feeling ng ghino-ghost! 

Iniisip ko pa man din send-an sya and her daughter ng something dahil magbibirthday na sila. 

Oh well, buti na lang hindi na sya maaalala ni Nikolai.  

And while on the yaya topic, new Ate is MMK lead character at best and Tulfo main at worst.

She's amid yet another domestic problem with a partner, involving a relative to add to the turmoil. 

She's emotionally charged and there's no reasoning to her anymore. Wish ko lang, after the storm has passed eh makapag focus na sya sa work nya, more importantly, wag nya iwan Nikolai. 

...

Bb is now 10 months! And we've started preparations for his 1st Birthday + Baptism.

Unfortunately for my wallet, we cannot celebrate both at the same time.

Enter, Pag IBIG loan. Tyinaga namin to pila at Pag IBIG Office in Robinson's Las Piñas sooo early in the morning.

At kami lang talaga minalas na nasaktuhan ng technical issue, which consumed almost half a day. Sayang ang play time with bb. 

...

I just heard couple of weeks ago na this undas naka "Wellness Break" sila Riley from school. How I wish may ganito din para sa mga private employees on top of the Vacation Leave credits we incur! 

Right now, I'm just making the most out of my new schedule transition. Nasaktuhan for k'A's birthday and dalaw at Memorial Park na rin. Dinikitan ko na rin ng isa pang VL para di haggard pag uwi ng Bulacan.

Ang traffic everywhere agad. Nakaka guilty na saglit na saglit lang visit namin sa sementeryo dahil late kami and gutom na kids.

And after lunch, ano pa nga ba, edi kape. Nakapambudol ako ng 11 stickers, the planner goal will come to realization sooner than expected. 

Pag umuuwi Bulacan, I expect proper lafang, whether sa bahay ni Mama, kila Inang, or elsewhere.

But 'di ko intention na mag crispy pata for lunch AND dinner.

May inoorderan kasi si Mama. Naka ilang beses na rin.

Dinalhan sila Inang kasi di pa nakakatikim, also nandun si tita Myra.  

Buti medyo nag pigil ako. Kasi usapan nga na foodtrip kami nila Kiko and 'to Nolz.

Bibibgka is what I had in mind, tho ang message ko kay Kiko is sisig and Starbucks (para mambudol). 

For dinner - nagdala ng luto nya si tito Nolz. Lechon Kawali, Sisig, and Crispy Pata.

Walang halong bola, isa sa pinaka masarap na nakain ko in recent while 'tong sisig ni tito Noli! 

Ganto ineexpect ko kaya ako nagyaya ako mag Pampanga. So oks kang kahit hindi na kami tumuloy dub. Solved na ko.  

Tomorrow is another day. See you again very soon Ka Resty Bibingka!

Longer than a Tweet

Bb is sick and has on off fever since yesterday.

I absolutely hate it when I can't help him.

It's awful when challenges just arrive one after the other.  

Since getting a new yaya, he's been so clingy. I gotta be honest though, it's nice to be his favorite person once again; I doubted my rank since he was very close with OG yaya.  

I just hope he sleeps better tonight.  

And what was I thinking, getting latte at 4pm?  

I knew I wanted to have a quick walk with bb. There's just no park to walk to, so we ended in a café.

Random Things and Stories

Went out on coffee date with husband yesterday morning (3 days ago na irl). Sinusulit dahil by next week new yaya na. More praning na ulet and hindi maiwan bb.  

The coffee shop we went to is called Sentro Fortis Café. It is located just by the gate of Victoria Homes at the end of Daang Reyna.

Mas mahal than our usual indie kapehan, but they brew Yardstick coffee and etong pain au chocolat is so delish.

The year is 2022 and "Team Building" is still a thing. Ang layo ng venue buti na lang mamsh Doanne is sipag and magaling mag navigate bandang Gatchalian. 

And buti ka-team ko sila. I enjoyed mga dating team building back nung Diageo and extended fam ka-join. I have still yet to connect with "new" teammates. Fortunately, office besties are in the same team, so I don't really feel left out. 

From now on, this is my official hotel breakfast buffet combo starter. Kaya kapag walang Egg/Omelet station, nakakalungkot. 

Also, note starter. Dahil kakain pa rin ng all of the above depende sa kung ano offered. 

This beauty of a platter was from Crimson Hotel; P900 for walk in guests. We had breakfast there to celebrate Mina's birthday last 9/10. 

Finding Donna.

Barely a guest on a Saturday morning. 

I miss her. It's been a year and I'm still lost for words.  

And for now, all we can do is gather every now and then, and be there for each other. 

 

I wasn't this adventurous with food when I was younger. Now, mga favorite ko are from nearby Periperi and Thai food place, Tolit's Peri-peri and Somthai respectively. 

Random Maternity shoot photo. Hindi ko na nabalikan yung Photobook project ko dahil tinamad ako coz I keep getting an error na kulang ang images. 

Sobra Cafe in Molito Alabang and Cafe Beam in Baliuag are like aesthetics sister cafe. Posting for interior inspo kahit forever changing ang taste.

You've reached the end of this post. Here's bb enjoying bibingka. 

Kthxbye.

Sobrang miss ko na sya. She deserved so much more than what the universe had given her. She deserved more from us, her children.

Nahihirapan pa rin ako mag cope. I was told to "honor your grief". Pero hindi ko kaya to move a step closer to acceptance. 

A lot of days I look okay, but that's probably my refusal to realize that I'm trapped. Na, eto na yun, wala na sya. 

Palagi ko kni-kwestyon bakit di man lang sila pinag tagpo ng anak ko. 

Mahaba habang panahon pa siguro na ganito yung sakit.
