Anika’s volleyball varsity team started their online training last week.
Nope, they’re not yet allowed to play in leagues. Bawal pa because bawal pa ang mga minors to go out because of the pandemic.
So why are they practicing? Para hindi mangalawang and to keep themselves fit. Positive thinking, hopefully, wala nang Covid by next year. That means, start na ulit ang mga sports leagues by that time. Ang peg is that whenever the games resume, hindi lalantoy lantoy ang mga players. Fit and ready to play sila.
Matanda na nga talaga ako. I tried doing the exercises that Coach is making the kids do. Kinabukasan, hindi ako makagalaw eh. I tried doing 1 set of squats. Nanakit yung shoulder blade ko the next day. Ang labo. I wonder though when I can go back to exercising. Buti pa nung ECQ, I exercise everyday. Nagstart lang yung online classes ni Anika, natigil na din ako.
I shall exercise as soon as I lose weight. Walang sense pero it does with me. Lost weight is one of my motivations to exercise eh. Ewan ko ba. Teka, itabi ko muna tong milk tea na iniinom ko. Baka matapon.
Lelz. Kidding aside, panalo talaga tong Baked Purple Chizu of Frnk Milk bar. It’s so delicious. It’s worth every calorie. Tita na nga ako. Ang hilig ko sa anything Ube.
Anyway, last weekend, Anika scalded herself with boiling water. Nakakaawa talaga. Buti hindi sa face. Alvin told me to keep putting Betadine lang. Hindi ako mapakali. I’m no doctor but by the looks of it, hindi uubra ang Betadine lang. Sa taranta ko, I forgot I have doctor friends. The husband of my high school batch mate is a cardiologist. Wowa did online consultation with him when we were in ECQ. So after a day pa, dun ko pa lang ako nakapagconsult. I also remembered I have a Derma friend. Paginuna mo talaga ang taranta mo, mawawalan ka ng presence of mind. As a mom, I cannot afford that. Anika was given an ointment with antibiotics. Marunong na siya maglagay on herself after I taught her to clean it and how to put it on the burn wound.
I still feel guilty even though it happened nung Saturday pa.
Hay naku.
In other news, I did major grocery shopping last Saturday. The day before, I asked Alvin if he can accompany me. One, though I enjoy shopping by myself, naiinggit ako dun sa mga mag-asawa who do groceries together. Two, ambigat talaga ng grocery cart! Plus, may mga sarili silang buhay. It goes to the opposite direction you are pushing it to go to. After mo maggrocery, talo mo pa ang nag-gym. Kailangan ko ng taga tulak.
I told Alvin that we have to be at SM Aura by 8am. 730am ang alis ng house.
I was surprised because naalimpungatan ako ng around 530am that morning. Gising na lolo niyo. Nagising ako ulit by 630am. Nakaligo na siya!
ME: Gising ka na, Babe?
ALVIN: Oo. Nakaligo na din ako.
ME: Ba’t ang aga mo?
ALVIN: Excited kaya ako maggrocery.
Patawa.
Two weeks ago, I asked him if he can go with me to the grocery. Ang daming sinasabi. Kesho masama pakiramdam, antok pa, blah blah blah. Samantalang, ang sigla sigla niya nagmotorcyle with his friends the day before ha.
Dakdakan ko nga.
ME: Ikaw, minsan lang ako magrequest na samahan mo ako maggrocery…
ALVIN: Sige tara na.
ME: Wag na.
ALVIN: Ito na nga eh maliligo na.
ME: Wag na nga.
ALVIN: Bakit?
ME: Nagtanong na ako one time eh. Dami mo excuses so wag na.
Iniwan ko at naggrocery ako magisa.
Kaya I was pleasantly surprised sinamahan niya ako. Yun lang. Hindi pa kami nakakaalis ng bahay, antok na antok na. Hahahaha! Kalokang taong to talaga.
We got home around 11am. Hinanap ko kasi biglang nawala. Nakatulog! Pagod na pagod! Hindi kasi sanay maggrocery! Hahaha!
When grocery shopping, it is always best to go as soon as the grocery store opens. Wala pang masyadong tao. Then by 10am, you’re done. You’re home na before lunch. Perfect.
Lemme consolidate the different advice my blog readers gave whenever they go grocery shopping. I’ll post it in a separate post =)
