A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves- a special kind of double. Toni Morrison
Good day everyone @chimegipamus is here. I will be sharing with you my bond moments with my sisters.
Who is the oldest
As we grow older we spend less time with our siblings it is because we have different priorities, busy with jobs, and live far from one another.
We planned many times to bond and have some time together but time and a chance did not allow us. Last Monday we had a chance to do it because time allowed it to happen.
In the last blog, I shared with you what happens when we apply for a passport. After going to the Department of Foreign Affairs and all the challenges that happened we dropped by SM seaside to have some lunch.
Inside the mall
We are looking for a good place to relax and enjoy the food.
As we went inside the mall we were very hungry for it was past noon. We walked through the ground floor looking for a place to eat until we reached the end. There we see a restaurant named Tong Yangs that offers an unlimited buffet. We looked at their food and decided to spend our lunch there

At the entrance
As we enter the place the dessert buffet welcomes us with the mouthwatering display. The waiter assisted us to our table and told us to start getting the food while they prepared the fire for the soup and the samgyeopsal.
My husband and my two sisters were surveying the place and the food displayed before getting anything.
Fresh seafoods
Fresh meat
We were amazed by the different food to choose from. They have fresh pork and beef for samgyeop, and fresh seafood like salmon, red snapper, squids, and shrimp. They have also eight kinds of sushi displayed and it caught my eye so I got it on my plate. They have tempuras and onion rings with plain rice and pineapple fried rice.
On the other corner, you can also have Filipino dishes like noodles, sweet and sour fish, and pork with tofu.

Different sushi flavors
Okonomiyaki or vegetable pizza
When you turn around they have displayed jars of fruit juices and even you can request a fruit shake. There was also a place where you could have all kinds of leafy vegetables and all kinds of Korean balls with dim sum. You can even make your sauces.
Dumplings
Filipino dishes
veggies for soup
The place is perfect for a hungry tummy like us. We also get free soups for unlimited shabu-shabu and unlimited samgyeop. We enjoy the food since our bonding for our family is always food. Our not-so-rough day ended with amazing food that we enjoyed.

mouthwatering
A lot of people were coming as time went by, the place is perfect for families and friends. After we take a rest for a while we went to the dessert place and got some cakes and ice cream. You can also make your halo halo if you want to.
can't help but take photos
While having time with my siblings my husband went home first to attend their INSET. So we agreed together that we would take a bus going home.
We spent a little longer inside the restaurant and chatting together about our different life's challenges. It was a perfect time for us, as I remember it was earlier last year when we spent time together. After we paid the bill we went to the department store to buy my slipper. My feet were swollen from the sandals that I wore, then we went to the National Bookstore and lastly, to the supermarket. We laugh and enjoy each other's company.
After having groceries we decided to go home, and while we were waiting for the bus we had different topics to talk about. Not a little longer the bus arrives and starts to travel home.
Looking for flipflops
Each one of us is so happy having this time together. We said to one another that we would do it more often every time we were not busy. It makes our relationships as siblings stick together.
Inside the bus
We went to our different homes bringing the love for one another and a bond that never breaks for we are siblings. We may have differences but acceptance for who we are is very important to keep the bond stronger. It is the love of God that bonded us together until now though we seldom see each other.
I hope you are enjoying my story, Love your siblings, spend more time with them, and listen to their stories. That would be all for today. Have a wonderful day ahead.
