Pet Naming...

I have often heard my parents call each other different names apart from their real names. Even now. When I was young I always laughed secretly every time I heard anyone of them call the other. I wondered why pet naming was even a thing. Now that I'm more mature, I realize that calling someone I love with his real name is kind of rude. So when someone dear to you calls you with your complete name, hide.  Someone is getting really mad. Proof that most often than not, respect and anger are frenemies.

I think calling your spouse "honey" is the same as calling your mother "mommy" or calling your boss "sir". You do this out of respect more than just form of endearment. So what would you do then if someone calls you "son of a whore"? Murder him? Bad.

On a very sweet note, my nieces call me "mimi", just like how my son calls me. No one ever calls me auntie in the house so they just imitate my son who is a bit older.

On a not so related note, I just wanna show you this photo of kenz and her twin. No, seriously they're not twins. But don't they just look the same?

Newest Favorites (Snacks)

I always go to stores once a week for our whole week stock of groceries. Too bad you can only find three grocery stores nearby and when i say nearby, I mean at least 20 minutes away. I always go the one closer to the market where I look for the freshest fish and vegetables. The other two are kind of far, like you have to walk another 5 minutes to get there. I hate the one that's close, I cannot feel the aircon. I always end up holding back the urge to puke. I thought in the beginning it was under repair but since it has been like that for about 158 years now, I thought they will never ever gonna fix it. They know people will come no matter what, with or without aircon. This is what I hate about monopoly. 

If I could make an awesome business for my own, I would put up a stall for fish and vegies just like meat found at Fresh Options where you can buy fresh, clean, meat stored in big closet sized freezers. Because I really don't like it whenever I step my foot on the wet dirty stinky floor of wet market. That every time I go there, I have to list down items and sort them by group so I don't need to go back and forth in case I miss out on something. 

Ever since I stopped working, there have been changes on how I budget money and in choosing which items to buy. Now I'm more picky. I look around to see if there are sales and I no longer just fill my cart with items I just love buying at first sight. I check and compare prices before I finally rush them to the cashier for payment. I no longer buy those do not pass my quality control and taste test.

Recently I found snacks that I would definitely buy many times again not only do they pass my taste buds but the kids too.

Even my two nieces love these...they said these are their new favorites except gardenia, gardenia is by far my favorite bread...yummy!

Energen is a cereal drink just like nesvita except that energen is way cheaper. Its cereals don't melt and it has less sweet taste. I am not really into sweets. I like salty food more just like that super thin crackers on the photo. It's not literally salty though, it has cheesy milk flavor and super crunchy. Inside you can find I guess 8 or 10 pieces. Sure you cannot ask for more. Pancit shanghai is one of payless products, not a noodle soup, it's more of pancit canton with a twist. Its noodle is like that of lasagna. Really tastes very unique. Gardenia is just wow. Two of my favorites all in one bread. I didn't know dates and walnuts matched perfectly together. If you love panettone, you would definitely love this too. 

The Kids After School

My son goes to school everyday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM while my two nieces from 12:00-4:00 since they are still preschoolers. The school bus drops them off like 2 minutes after four. Their school is very close but because we don't wanna bother walk them all to school then pick them up again, we thought paying little extra for the school service would be practical. 

Here is Jam holding some coins left from his daily allowance..

Was she good in school? Her teacher just stamped the proof that said so :)

Would Kenz allow to be left out? She's wearing a proof she won't :)

Jam as nanny? He likes it. What he doesn't like is me taking  a photo of him...It's ok baby...don't be mad...

What I love about staying home alone? I could sleep my ass off until my stomach wakes me up. And then I still have plenty of time to kill. I'm glad time never sued me not even once. Time loves to be killed I guess.
