Grocery shopping

I went grocery shopping today at our local mall here. I was shocked to see how much imported stuff they have now. I like it because I got so many choices now. They must have like three ailes now just for the imported stuff. I bought like half imported items on our groceries. It’s kind of spendy though. I bought like a bag of chex mix it cost over 200 pesos, Macaroni and cheese 89pesos, ravioli 99pesos. I was also shocked to see that the prices are still too high yet the value of the dollar is getting lower. Even the prices of the local foods here were mark too high. Sometimes I would wonder how can a low income family afford to buy groceries. I know some of my siblings are struggling to buy stuff for their kids. I felt sorry for them. I told them they might have to work three times as much now for them to afford the needs of the family.

It’s just so nice to shop now with lots of variety of foods to choose from. For those people who likes to drink wine they also had a lot to choose from. I am really impress of our store now here. It’s not like in the States or Europe standards but at least we have some stuff here to choose from. I’m happy of what we have now. We can live with it.

Have fun shopping!

Kids subjects in school

I was shock today when my daughter brought her books to me. She showed me one particular book about the reproductive systems. My gosh I had that subjects in class during my college days. I didn’t expect their now teaching this subject to a young kids. I asked my son about it because his studying in a different school and he then told me that they had that very same subject too. It’s really different nowadays, I guess more parents now are open about this subjects than before. I like it so that kids will learn early. They are more mature nowadays in mind. I think because of good technology now. They learn from internet and what they are watching on tv. I’m just hoping they would not get curious and try it. Oh boy that would be a big problem then.

I just hope that my kids and my nieces and nephew really had a big lesson from other niece that had a baby early this year and she’s not ready yet to have one. Honestly I felt sorry for the baby. I just hope and pray that the baby will have good education and good life someday. That she won’t suffer in life.

Hopefully this is a good education for the kids now. If they won’t watch out what they are doing they will face the consequences. It would be an eye opener for everybody then. I know it did for us here in our house.

Eating place

Last night Bob and I decided to eat out for dinner. We went and tried to eat at the new restaurant called TONG YANG which is located at the Chimes mall in Gov. Sales St. I didn’t know at first what they have. When we went inside the waiter told us what we have to do. When we first set down we notice that there was a burner built into the table, the waiter turn it on. Then he gave us the menu, in the menu their must be like 80 items or so in it to chose from. All the food in that menu that we will choose it’s all raw, After we choose what we like to have the waiter then brought the raw food in our table and he showed us what to do, then Bob did the honor to starts the cooking. I was so amazed how good the food was. I like it. We got some spare ribs, pork neck, clams, shrimp, corn and others. It was really fun to cook while eating.

While eating I was shocked to see in the window our friends Maej and Mandy. It was their first time to eat there too. We end up eating together in the same table and takes turn to cook while others are eating. Maej and Mandy likes fish ball andd oyster too. They also have 4 burners to make soup like sinigang. They also have lots of different kind of sauces to choose from. We like teriyaki, so that’s what we put on our spare ribs. I would highly recomend to all of you out there who like to eat out and likes to try new stuff. It’s really good food there and cheap. All you can eat for just P399.00, not bad. I know that we will go back there to eat again.

Shocking news

My husband and I value the educations of our kids. Since I have lots of nieces and nephews, Bob and I decided to try to help some of them. So since living here for over seven years now, we’ve been helping them. One of them lived with my parents since she was just a baby. When my Dad got ill I promised him that I will take care of my niece that lived with us and I will be the one responsible for her going to school. When Bob and I got married we did fulfill what we promised to my mom and dad. We did sent that niece of mine to a good school in high school and in college. She studied nursing course in Ateneo De Davao University. During her first year it was good because she had nice classmates, they will hang out at our house when off school which we like it so that we would know what they are doing. During her second year she has different classmates and we didn’t know who they are. She starts to come home late at night. If asked what are you doing she will just answered back that they are working on some projects. We did believed her. One time Bob and I talked to her and asked her if she had a hard time in her subjects, and she said yes so we did offer for her to go for tutor and will pay for it she told us she has no time because her classes schedule are tight. So we just said okay. Later that semester she’s acting strangely we were observing her. She goes out more frequently and coming home like 1am. We find out that she’s hanging out with her classmates and they’re drinking. My gosh, we were really devastated because we sent her to a very expensive and really good school and she doesn’t even care for it. We didn’t even care how much, we just want for her to go to a good school. We did all of this because we care and we love her. When we found out that my niece was drinking and coming home late me and my husband decided to let her stop for a year of school and she will just work and help in our business. My husband was just too nice he let her have 4 choices of what she wants to do.

1st choice- to stay with us but she has to quit school for a year and help in the business and around the house.

2nd choice- for her to move out and get work and stay in boarding house and find job. We will support her for 2 months while she’s looking for a job.

3rd choice- to go home in her parents and stay there with them.

4th choice- to stay with my sister and help them.

Well, she choose the second one. TO MOVE OUT. She doesn’t want to help us or something to do with us I guess. So she moves out, I paid the boarding house and gave her some money for food. Well, the following week after she moves out at our house we found out that she moves out also on the boarding house that I paid. She told us later that she stayed with some friends house. She was away for over a year. Well, like about a month or so ago her sister found her. I had a feeling she knows all along where her sister was but not want to tell us. Anyway, they found her and brought her to our house and I was shocked to find out that she had a baby already. It was really a shocked to all of us. We love the baby she doesn’t know what’s going on. It just sad that my niece didn’t finished her school yet to get a good job to support for the baby. I hope someday she can go back to school. I hope the father of the baby will support her on that. I really want the best thing for the baby, good life and good health. My niece has to really make a lot of sacrifices now for that.
