It's been my routine to attend Sunday mass but when I was on vacation at my hometown, I managed only once. That was because the church was far from home, and the fare was also expensive. My nieces and Mother would tag along which means I really need a budget 😆. Thus, since my son just celebrated his birthday , we went to church as thanksgiving.
The sky was dark and looked like heavy rain would fall anytime. Thankfully, we arrived at the church before it poured. Caleb was already learning how to walk here and he was so hyper. He no longer wanted to stay in my arms as he wanted to walk around.
This is at the church (after mass) and nevermind my haggard face 🤣. It looked like my son was laughing at me!
Afterwards, we dropped by again at Jollibee as a reward to my nephew Kyle. He behaved all throughout the mass. For a six years old kid, this was such an achievement.
Here is the full view of well known chain as I posted in my previous blog here
Home of manggahan festival - Mango festival.
After placing my orders, I took Caleb outside again to have a photo with Jollibee.
After a lot of retakes, I had at least two decent photos of him.
Downstairs was already full of customers dining in so we headed upstairs.
And Kyle is eating but still grumpy because Caleb isn't listening to him 🤣. He kept on grabbing the foods on the table.
He was like;
Caleb you're so bad, listen, stop that! Yet my son acted like didn't hear him at all. (Asiaymalay already went back to SG that is why she isn't with us.)
In a good mood here because his tummy is already full, satisfied after devouring his favorites. I think anyone would, right?
Here's the view I captured while waiting for them to finish eating.
There was a jolly hotdog left, and Mom said to bring it to Father but Kyle refused. He was like, I am not yet full, let me eat that. Ah that kid, even though he was no longer starving but he was really a heavy eater.
Eventually, he was unable to eat it as his tummy was gonna explode 🤣.
He just requested a photo with Jolly Bee!
We haven't left the town yet but he was already asking to dine here next time 😁I just agreed that he won't fuss about it.
After that we bought some bread because Father likes it. He was like a kid always asking if we have bread every time we go to town. So, if I am at home I always make sure to buy a lot so we won't run out of bread.
Almost home, years had passed and even in our Barrio there was a huge improvement. Only a few meters left of the rough road and the rest was already cemented. There were even street lights!
While writing this blog made me think, when will be the road it will reach our house?
Supposed it would but typical happenings in secluded provinces, some relatives oppose. Not wanting to donate a piece of land for the road. So that left us almost half a kilometer to walk.
Advantage, at least we are living peacefully away from nosey neighbors.
