A Day in the Life: Bonding with Cousins in Bago City on a Saturday

It is my second day here in Bago City. And it is Saturday. Bonding together is our goal this weekend.

Hallo Hivers! Bhamshell is here once again. Another fun day to blog!

Early in the morning, at exactly 6 a.m., we were awake, and my cousin, Jerald, messaged me that he was close to my cousin's house. Jerald is cycling from Kabankalan, heading to Bago. According to him, at 5 in the morning, he left, and he arrived at 8.

We wait for Jerald to have breakfast together. We have extra hot noodles, rice, hot black coffee, bread, and spreads like nutella and peanut butter.

After having our breakfast, we divided the chores: one would wash the dishes, feed the dog, sweep the floor, and then, one by one, take a shower to freshen up.

We stayed inside the house and scrolled through our phones. Each of us has our own world.

Lunch time is coming, so we decided to get some kangkong leaves, also known as water spinach (but here in our place we call it tangkong; how about you?) in the backyard. We separate the leaves from the stems, as my cousin doesn't include the stem when cooking while sitting on the floor to freely sit down and to talk thoroughly until the spinach is ready to cook.

After preparing all the ingredients, My cousin, Lyn, cooked it.

Adobong Kangkong, or water spinach.

Like what we did after breakfast, we divided the chores, and after that, we took some rest.

My cousin Je is exploring her new phone, and to test and see if the camera has good quality, she took some photos of me in front of Manang Lyn's house. Good thing it has a nice view.

Indeed, the camera has good specs.

Bonding together is our goal for today. We start it with the plan of climbing on the Indian mango tree. But there's a twist. Instead of climbing to the exact tree, my cousin Lyn uses a ladder to climb into the roof. You know why? Because the tree of that said Indian mango is located on their neighbors house (hahahah). Her reason for climbing and getting the fruit of the Indian mango is that when the branches are seen and reach their roof, the fruit is theirs now.

After getting the fruit of the Indian mango, we decided to go to one sunset spot in their place.

Arriving at the said place, we are first amazed that there are plenty of people. Along the road, there are many stalls and shops selling different street foods and drinks (but not alcoholic ones). The sunset is very visible to all people who come to witness it and take pictures of it.

Among all the foods that we saw while strolling around, Only the pizza catches our attention. We ordered one box of Hawaiian flavor.

Rare view of the sunset.

Seeing a scene like this made me think that, at last, all of my stressful days in school have a cure.

Spending a day with them makes me feel appreciated, and all I can say is that not only is my stomach full but also my heart.

You, how does your Saturday go?

Sort:  

We also called it tangkong and I love it cooked as apan-apan

I love how your weekend was spent!

I like tangkong that cooked in Apan-apan too. Thank you!
