postponed

i suppose to go to albay today together with my cousin to visit my grandma's funeral, but then my brother suddenly catched fever, his temperature went up to i think 39 so i thought better not to go for now, i would like to make sure that my brother is ok before i leave.. so ill move my trip maybe on tuesday next week, and it will be a bit exciting for me because it will be my first time to travel going to bicol alone.

i love you..goodbye...

this day has not been very easy for me and my family. i woke up around 5 am earlier with a text message on my cellphone, it was from my mom saying that my grandma passed away, nabigla pa rin ako although i know that she is sick and not that fine but im not expecting that today would be her last day on earth..it was so sad, i did nothing at that very moment but to cry..and cry my heart out.. :-(

this is our pic the last time i spend time with her, this was i think 2 years ago during summer vacation and she was a bit sick then. i seldom go to our house in albay because of my school schedules before and my work now. i would definitely go home this time, i want to see her and pay my love and respect for her for the very last time, though i feel happy on the other hand because she wont be in pain no more. we love her so much and would pray for the peace of her soul.

happy birthday papa!

it was my father's birthday sept 11 but he was not able to come home from albay on the exact date so we just went out for a family date last sunday. (and my post is kindda late) but anyhow...we attended the mass sunday morning and then we went to divisoria, I was so excited to shop :-) it was so great that every like quarterly i get to see my father, he stays in albay for good to look after my uncle's business and when he comes home he only stays with us for maybe 3 days or 4 days the most, he's been staying there for years now and then my mom now stays in laguna to babysit and so I left to look after my younger brother which is an instant mommy like experience.. so having the chance to be all together is a BIG deal for me.

so..we first wander around divisoria looking for things we can buy (grabe kakapagod but i enjoyed it) then we ate at tokyo tokyo because of their "eat all you kanin" :) sulit eh. we spent most of our time in divisoria doing window shopping and shopping.., nakabili naman ako ng something for me but i really planned it for me to buy some things for my family and i was able to. it was a very simple celebration but very fulfilling for all of us. :)

my recipe for the day

Buttered Shrimp with Quail Eggs

I suddenly crave for seafoods yesterday so I said why dont I cook seafood recipe tomorow for my lunch, so I went to the market on my way home and bought some shrimps, there are different sizes off course the big ones (sugpo) are the most expensive among the group like P75 for 1/4 kilo, so I went and bought the medium sized shrimps which is P50 for 1/4 kilo not bad kasi mga more than 10 pieces din naman sya. Honestly I dont have any recipes in mind so I just experiment, and here I came up with what I call it "Buttered Shrimp with quail eggs". I put some quail eggs for extenders kasi I like seafoods very much na baka maubos lang kaagad ng hindi pa ubos ung rice ko and I am going to leave the half of the meal dito sa bahay for my brother because like me he is also a seafood freak.

toxic

We had a very very long day today at work, we were flooded with calls because of our client's rework program to one of their laptop series. It was a global announcement that's why the number of calls went crazy..as soon as I put my headset on ayan na..tuut.. grabe everybody is talking, everyone is busy and you're lucky kung magkaron ka ng 2 min avail time, yun nga lang the time went by so fast that we did not notice na lunch time na pala..Lorena even had her lunch super late na, she just bought carbonara instead of a rice meal kasi miryenda na when she finished her call. Good thing here is it might be just the same tomorrow :) which we really do expecting, so that means I need to go to bed at around 8 or 9 tonight.
