Since this has been a really lazy, gloomy Saturday, Raine didn’t want to take his bike outside in the mud. He seemed a lot less-hyper today (yehey!) and we’ve been having a little picnic in front of the tv. Raine is still on a writing frenzy and in the process we all had been on a family movie marathon. From Garfield to Shaggy Dog, from Santa Junior to Little Miss Sunshine.
The ‘little picnic’ was made of macaroni soup, breaded fried saba bananas (bicol sinapot!), sardines omelette and lots of bread and rice. My mother most probably got nervous ’bout the heavy rains and thunderstorm, can’t sleep and so she got up early and cooked stuff. The saba bananas are from our backyard. What would we do without her?! He he. She joined the movie marathon so she feels a lot better. We all were cracking laughters about it all. We just get awfully nervous with bad weathers here.
But, it’s already Christmas at the Hallmark Channel. Shouldn’t Halloween invitations come first? Well then, who needs Halloween when with a family like mine, it can be Christmas everyday if we want to.
I don’t mean the festivities alright? It’s just that the presence of each other can be the best gift ever.

Sinapot- I dont know how many times I’ve explained it to some of my friends but they still can’t imagine fried bananas. Sinapot used to be one of my favorite afternoon snacks. I do miss it. And I miss Bicol at this time.
