I applied for seven days leave because I'm exhausted from work and I miss home. So just after my night shift ,I took a ferry express to my hometown to see my old folks.
In case you don't know yet, you can go to Tacloban from Cebu by many means -airplane, slow or fast sea craft and by bus. If it's a slow boat ,you leave in the evening from Cebu pier 3 then arrive Ormoc in the morning .One has to prepare though for another two hours trip via van or bus from Ormoc to Tacloban.So ,if I may suggest do travel light. Today ,because I wish to cut on time I took the fast craft expensive as it is.
Arriving early I went to the market to buy some shells and fish. I miss my mom's cooking. So I asked her to cook one of my favorite menu .She sauteed the shells in onion and garlic then when they're about to simmer she added turmeric leaves and Ola a sumptous dish for me.
Breakdown of expenses :
Garlic. 10pesos
Onion. 10pesos
Oil. 5pesos
Seashells. 60pesos
For less than two American dollars I was able to have a bonding time with my mom and fill. My belly with the minerals and vitamins in the shell.

After eating, we proceed to do more Steemit tutorials.Though most of her post are unvalued for now I am happy to note that she's nowhere discouraged.

In this life ,we weren't blessed with wealth. My family stays still in a single floor home even after retirement from their government post yet in spite of that we have so many things to be grateful about.One of that is having each other be it good or bad times.
In this Lent, I just want to spend quality time with my loved ones. I hope you're having a good day my dear readers.Show people you love by sharing time. Money can be found, work can exchanged for another time is fleeting so choose how you spend your time with wisely.
Till next post,
