Fishieeeessss!!!!

I love fishing.

Amazing fact for someone whose experience of catching fish is buying them at the grocery. I never caught a fish in my life and that's not because of lack of attempts. I last tried to do this almost 14 years ago at El Nido. Everyone around me were catching fish while I did not have even a nibble.

Let me expound on that further though.

Maybe it's not fishing that I love but the visceral images of catching fish and preparing them for a meal--yes, including the part of cleaning and chopping them out.

In our younger days, my siblings and I would spend summers over at our grandparents at Tanauan. Since the house was just a stone throw's away from the market, my aunts would go to the palengke to buy fresh meat and seafood almost daily. I would tag along either to bug them to buy ampaw or the latest Aliwan or Funny comics (Abangan!). Of course, that would mean going into the wet market.

It was an interesting but not unwelcome experience when we would buy dalag or hito. The vendor would kill the fish in front of us and the blood won't faze me (ok, I guess it's no wonder that I can stand watching OCN shows).

So to end this long post, here's a channel that I became interested in lately. Prior to this, the fishing channel that I regularly follow was Deer Meat for Dinner (don't ask how that became a fishing channel). This one just popped in my suggested feed and not only is the host a cutie, but the sea life that he catches and how he eviscerates them caught my fancy (that's it. I must be a shark in my previous life seeing how much I love seeing fish. Oh wait, I think "whale" is more applicable). :)

My Sunday

 

Food Delivery became an essential service in the past year. But nothing beats newly cooked/prepared food and drinks.

After going out for groceries, hubby and I had brunch and lunch. Brunch was this Korean hotdog from Gorae. I was able to order previously from them but the dogs were cold when they arrived. But this one was newly cooked and I now understand the fuss. The breading was crispy and complemented the oh so melty mozarella cheese. The hotdog was good too.

For lunch, we had Mary Grace and the stall of Koomi was in front of the resto. I was curious as I kept on seeing it in Grab so I bought us a couple. I got Mango Graham yogurt while hubby got Ube. It was so decadent but their ad said that it's yogurt so guilt free.

Our local parks also opened so we were able to take out the boys for much needed air. We chose a secluded park so we were the only ones in the playground. It took a promise of McD's fries to get Bennet to leave (and a car ride too). 

At the end of the day, my step count reached 16000+! Good thing as I consumed so much calories! 

I was unused to the physical activity that I was asleep by 9PM (with the help of my Deep Relief oil).

Stressed Again

I don't know when this will end. And when I thought that the past months were bad, it got worse the past few weeks. I appreciate it when I see messages of encouragement and support but it got really bad today. Am no longer sure if I can manage this. I really need to pray hard. Hopefully, they will be done by the end of the month. I really really hope so. 

Please pray for me.
