April 11, 2020- “Ginataang Mais”

Today is Saturday! D-25 of being at home with the fam because of Enhanced Community Quarantine. I went out today for the first time in 25 days loool No biggie for me tbh because I’ve always been a homebody, but anyway I had to because I need to find the facial foam I’m currently using before I run out of it. It’s something I could get in Manila as easily as getting candy from our store, but apparently not here! And that really ruined my mood for like a good hour. Because, first of all I dislike going out but I did anyway but all to no avail because literally everything I went out for weren’t available in the grocery aka the Senka Perfect White Clay facial foam and cinnamon which I’ve been obsessing for my coffee especially this whole quarantine period. I was out in the sun, all sweaty and my the allergies in my arms still fresh and irritated as hell from probably all the dust exposure from the day before when I did a mega general cleaning in my room. I just felt super uncomfortable because I was feeling all itchy and the small wounds on my arms from scratching are feeling really stingy. Anyways, that whole thing got me acting like a bigass brat and all that heat and allergies still do not justify my bitchass. But then I have the coolest and best parents in the world for just laughing it off. I’m so annoying, really. I don’t deserve them ugh. And while a lot of people were probably thinking where and how are they gonna put food on the table for the rest of the week, I was mad irritated for not getting my current facial wash. What a brat. But anyways, as of this writing, 11:54 PM, I’ve already realized how annoying I was being an d hopefully grow from it.

And now for this paragraph is what the title is all about. I’ve been craving for Ginataang Mais for the past few days and mom got me all the ingredients right the next day which is today. I played chef and tried to cook it myself and it ALMOST ended up looking like suman lmao Thanks to my wonder mom who came to the rescue and saved ginataang mais. To cut this story of my day short, cravings satisfied!!! 

Even on days that instills so much fear and anxiety to people such as this, the Lord continues to make me feel super blessed. Thank you, God, for the comfortable life, for the amazing parents any child could ever have, for the security amidst a very challenging and terrifying time and simply for the gift of life. I love my parents so much and to this day I can’t figure out what I’ve done, I did, or been doing to deserve them. If could prepare any gift for every single person in this world, I’d duplicate my parents countless times and just let everyone experience the love and blessing I get to be surrounded with everyday. They are the very reason why my life is so good. Thank you, Lord!!!! I love you!!
