Our cat dry foods run out and so I embark on a short journey to where the pet store is. It's not that far and actually just a walking distance. To make this walk more fun and exciting, I drag Mama with me, because why not right? Lol. I informed her about my plan to go visit a pet shop but then she doesn't really want to come, so I replied: "I won't take No for an answer." Haha. In the end, we did the adventure together. Lol

The weather is really nice, there's a light rain but not enough to really wet us. Walking in this kind of weather is more enjoyable because it's not hot. And we're not even halfway to our destination yet but look what I found on our way. A beautiful buds and flowers of a Patola. Such a pretty flower. Mama said she saw a small Patola hanging in there this morning but it disappeared.

Our guess is someone already pick it up. It's growing in an open and public place like this so it has no owner and anyone can just pick it. Mama actually regretted that she didn't pick it up this morning when she saw it, lol. And I was like "Mom, it's not yours so why would you pick it!" She just answered that ut's for everyone, lol. But seriously though, it's pretty isn't it?

By the way, I noticed two people at the back of this plants and I accidentally captured them, it's a mother and her child. They are Mangyan, and I see, they come down here again in the land. They live in a mountains and sometimes visit the Capital. Some actually just go down here to beg for money and some chose to use their crops to earn money. We love to support those kind of people rather than those who beg for money. We support those who know how to make money through hardwork.

We also used this shortcut to reach our destination faster. The tent not far from where we are , caught my attention though, I saw our favorite street food vendors where we often buy homemade fishball and cheese stick. Of course, we didn't let the chance to get their street foods. I just didn't took a photo of it but we bought Tokneneng and cheese stick. I really love that they used Eden Cheese on their cheese stick unlike the others that used powdered cheese, I don't like that one.

After getting the street foods we wants we then go to the nearest pharmacy to buy Mom's medicine. This is what you can see near that pharmacy. And look at those fruits, the Mangoes and Singkamas. It's been a long time since I last had singkamas. That one really is good with Alamang. I'm not sure how much Singkamas is right now as I didn't ask the seller.

After some more walking, we decided to head home to eat the street foods that we bought. The crunchy cheesy cheese stick is seriously the best. The Tokneneng on the other hand taste really good with the Spicy Vinegar sauce. Seriously, the sauce is the secret here.

Kala ko samin lang, after ng malalang init nitong nakaraan, ngayon malamig naman aguy ah. Yong ngang oil, sanay na kami jan kaya gora pa rin saka minsanan lang talaga kami nabili hihi. Mahirao na, may bad effect din yang overused na oil na yarn

your blog differs from many others, and I like it, you just open a piece of your life, everyday simply life without decorations, and it's so friendly and so touching;)

I look up to your posts. You always share raw and worth reading simple daily life events. I like the prutas, the almost blooming yellow flower and the street food!
