Good day, dear Hivers. How are you doing? I hope you are great today and always.
For this blog, it's the first birthday of the first daughter of my brother. I met Mary Brielle, who was so adorable but found it difficult to laugh. Anyway, as long as she is not so much of a cry. During special occasions or any occasion, I see to it that I am able to help in any way I can. I mean, it is not so much of a big thing, but at least.
Alright, here is Mary Brielle with that lechon skin, which is just so tasty and juicy. Happy Birthday, our little girl in the family!
We are then so thankful for all the blessings and food for today. For the people behind all of this hard work and preparation, I always appreciate people like you.
Oh no, Kevler, so much ice cream for today. I can't even say no; he really wants to eat that much.
I got a nice cake in here. It is sad to say that I was not able to taste this one. But good thing, I didn't eat so many sweets that day.
There you go, the lechon, the main dish for today, a special viand, as they say. Looking back at the prices of the meat before and now, it made us crazy, right? Too much of the increase means that we choose to take care of our own piggy at home. As we all know, it is much less if you take care of pigs.
All of the foods taste really good, especially my favorite "pork lumpia." The taste is just irresistible. I like wrapped foods; I just don't know why.
There are scenarios that I just saw right here. The son of my brother was asked to get some lemons from the tree, but by doing so, they had to take a ladder and use it so they could climb up there. Definitely a very good source of Vitamin C. Some of our cousins brought lemons going home, which is a great idea too, so that some of the lemons will not just fall on the ground and be of no use.
Me having a little chitchat with the mother of the husband of my sister, from Kinawahan, San Remigio, Cebu. The topic was some kind of personal matter; others were about our family in New Zealand and how, in God's perfect timing, she will see her kids there if she already has a ticket.
Other visitors were having chitchat with my brother at the back of the house. It is just good to see people that you often meet because we are all busy with our own lives.
My cousin, Mark Dindo, with the love of his life, is also here to celebrate Mary Brielle's first birthday.
My father's friends, and beside him is his sister.
The motorcycle was parked here in this area so that we had enough space for the visitors.
My cousin has to help out to hold the ladder for support. I forgot to take pictures of those lemons; they harvested so many lemons from the two lemon trees. It is really good to have some of your plants and that you harvest something through your effort.
I am just so happy that I still have the chance to see all those who came to celebrate, and I am so happy to see everyone full of the foods being prepared. For me, it is so important to always lend a helping hand to others. I would love to serve, but hopefully those who are really physically fit will have time to help sometimes. This time for me was different, as I can feel chest pain whenever I work that hard, or I don't know, maybe stress. That is why I limit myself to working too hard if I can. At the time that I came to my age, which is 32, I felt some body pain that I hadn't felt before.
When we age, what we eat and what we do with our bodies will eventually result in what we feel right now. So much that we don't observe in what we do with our bodies is bad. We always have to take care, as the body is the temple of the holy spirit, and we only borrow our lives from him. Let us take care and limit what can harm us and what feels bad for us. I totally want to be eating healthy as much as I want, but sometimes, when the budget is tight, I have to have so much of that dried fish from day 1 to day 3. But anyway, I can't blame anyone for having that food like me sometimes; all I know is for survival.
All I want to say is: help when you can; having sincere intentions and good manners doesn't cost a penny. So be kind.
Thank you all so much for your support. Until next time.
