I finally ate my Italian Bratwurst today for breakfast along with hotdogs, cheddar, bread, and orange juice. Dad ignored my suggestion that bratwurst is supposed to be cooked in beer. Boo.
I visited my auntie Aida to drop off my mommy's gift to her. There were buckets everywhere since their ceiling is leaking all over. Uncle Mon says I got a lot of muscle on me. Yay.
Philip treated me to lunch at some burger place called Tropical Hut. It was all right. I finally ate a halo-halo for the 1st time during this trip.
Later, Malou treated me to snack on Taco Bell, despite Philip telling me not to snack because dinner was going to be at an all-you-can-eat place. I drank some of my Japanese green tea to speed up my metabolism so I can digest everything and over-eat for dinner.
A package that my mommy sent finally arrived at the house while we were out. The maid called Malou's cell phone for the delivery boys to talk to me because they needed my authorization. They were disappointed I was American. I found out it's typical for Filipinos to tip the delivery boy and they assumed I wouldn't know that. Malou instructed the maid to tip them 200 pesos.
Philip (again, a district attorney) abruptly had to leave because his superior complained he was never around. Philip checked in with his superior, made an excuse that he had to leave, and we all went to dinner.
Dinner was at a place called Kamayan. I've been there in the past. I continued the tradition of everyone, full and done eating, waiting on me as I continued to eat like a monster. There were ingredients to make your own halo-halo. I tried making a halo-halo for the 1st time ever in life. Epic fail.
When we got home, distant cousin Bong had finally arrived from Gerona (a farm town in the jungle where both sides of my family were originally from). Bong will be taking care of my dad while he recovers from his operation, which is scheduled on Thursday. I guess everyone didn't trust me to do my best in taking care of my dad.
Random: I just found out that auntie Selda's name is spelled with an "S." My whole life, I assumed it was spelled with a "Z" like Legend of Zelda.
