Clean-Up Day

Manang Salve, my yard-cleaning lady came by today to clean up. We have so much dried leaves on the yard. I don’t particularly enjoy doing outdoor sweeping chores so she gets to do it.

I also asked her to clean up the bathroom located outside the house since even if no one uses it, it still gets dirty. She also cleaned the sinks in the “dirty kitchen”, removed cobwebs from the windows, and collected the trash.

We haven’t replanted yet, maybe when she comes back. My plants died when the rains came. Some got eaten by the dog especially those fragrant herbs. Grrr…. A caterpillar made home in one of the calamansi plants and almost ate all the baby fruits and the leaves as well. Maybe it became a butterfly already since the leaves are growing back.

And now I rest not because I got tired helping her but because I woke up a little after 4am to cooked packed lunch for the kids.

Little Purple Flowers

Little purple flowers but they are a bit blurry because it was a windy day when I took the photos:

I know, I shouldn’t made a excuse, valid though it may be. Anyway, I hope you will see an almost purple sunset sky here.

Last Minute Shopping for School Supplies

Last minute shopping. This is what can be said of the malls and stalls in bargain places (like Divisoria) nowawadays. People are on the hunt for school supplies, uniforms, school shoes and thingamajigs for school opening on Tuesday.

We plan to go look for kitchen appliances but we have to hold it off to avoid the crowds. Who knows what virus or worse, pickpockets are up to during these times. I still want to watch a movie with the kids though, before the school starts, LOL.

Nowadays, even the brother-in-law who works to design furniture does not frequent the malls where he looks for inspiration. I think I should do get the things I need for my grocery list today to avoid Monday’s crowd since Monday is a holiday.

And yeah, now I need to wake up before the rooster crows to cook packed lunch for the children.
