what's going on?

BREAKING UP A HABIT

I love leisure driving or driving without planned destination. Whenever we have the chance I would tell Brack to drive wherever to refresh, the kids enjoyed the trips too. It’s like we developed a habit which seemed hard to break because it pleases every member of the family…until gas prices went up…$3.69 per gallon killed it.

ADAPTATIONS

After church last Saturday evening, the family stopped by Seafood City, a Filipino supermarket, for meat, fish, veggies, fruits, seasonings, and rice. Along the cashier’s counter I glanced at the different sweet delicacies which are guaranteed tasty but I tried my best to avoid because of the high calorie and sugar contents. I pointed the suman ( rice cake wrapped in coconut leaves) to Abraham, I told him those are his favorite when he was much younger, back in the Philippines. He candidly replied, “Really? Well now it’s all about tamales Mommy.”

Are we in Los Angeles or Mexico?

PLEASE BUY

Unemployment is at record high, stagflation is worst than recession. People had stopped buying so the government is releasing tax rebates in May for people to spend and infuse cash back into the economy. Everybody, the working class especially, feared being homeless…I don’t think the ordinary taxpayers would spend their rebates checks just for the sake of keeping the economy rolling. I just wish for the rich people to open up their wallets a little wider…please buy…please keep on buying.
