Ninang Sistah is Home Again

She arrived on my 39th month @ 3:20pm. Her plane landed @ 2:30 but her luggage was the last in line. It was fun seeing her again after a year. We went straight to duty free hoping we can see something worth buying. Unfortunately, we went out with no plastic bags. On our way looking for a resto, we saw the SM Bicutan and decided to drop by since I was never been there.

First stop of course - is what we came here for - children's section. Ninang Sistah promised to buy me a bag since I will be going to school in one week. I decided I like Spidey better than Mickey (too bad I can't have both... hehehe). Its like a backpack and a trolley at the same time and even has a water bottle at the side.

Ninang Sistah was really hungry so we decided to eat early dinner at Chicken Inasal. Oh boy, I never realized I was this hungry... I ate almost 3/4 cup of rice! I knew I needed a visit in the restroom after this.

At 7 pm, we're on our way to Batangas. We're kinda lost, well not really - we just end up on a bumpy service road rather than the smooth SLEX and finally at 10:00 we're major rock stars! Everybody is waiting for us. Not even the dogs were sleeping. One thing I realized, however, is that I'm more popular than my ninang Sistah because even she was amazed on how chinese I speak! (hehehe)

I really wasn't in the mood to sleep but mom forced me to sleep... because she already is too sleepy. Dad was also snoring so its best that I rest also for tomorrow's great day.

The next morning is all about play. Mom looked too depressed on how I reject to swallow any food she offers. Its just fun playing with Tita's Maureen, Lelen and Nene inside the big camping tent.

On sunday after mass, we went back to Manila.

Now I'm already counting 6 more days and I'll be back again for my Grandma's 60th birthday celebration!
