Pinya Papaya Prada Barya Tinola ni Antonia

I haven’t seen a twin head pinya (pineapple) before.

I remember buying some vegetables from this female sidewalk vendor a few months ago.  I told her to scrub her weighing scale clean with soap and water.

I went back last week, mukhang hindi nya ginawa.

Not content on the papaya fruits we harvested from our own trees, Edmund bought one big fruit from a sidewalk store on our way home.  Mas malaki daw yun.

Aside from the papaya, he also bought 20 nilagang mais.  Ang sarap, matamis and malambot.

One of the first things that I did as soon as I arrived from the US was to open Edmund’s drawer in his dressing room to check for coins.   Yes, he had a lot.  The leather tray given by OMB reader BES was overflowing with barya.     Swerte,  my coin bank filled up right away.

Our driver already knows what to do each time.  Pupunta sya sa Mini Stop to exchange the coins to bills.  This one totaled P800.

My green suede Prada bag’s handle  hardware is broken.  Edmund tried to fix it but failed.  He advised me to bring it back to the store.  I will.  But I am actually disappointed with their repairs service.  Last year I brought back my sunglasses because the film was peeling off.  They told me it has no warranty and referred me instead to a subcontractor.

I hope they repair this bag for free.  It’s not even a year old yet so maybe they would.

Someone sent a Christmas food tray to Edmund. Early bird. Thank you to Power Stroke.

Tinola na naman ni Antonia. Siguro she cooks tinola at least 4x a week. I don’t miss it when I am traveling. Di ba when you’re so used to something, you eventually miss it? Ako hindi, I don’t miss tinola.

Our dog Twinkle is still on medication.  Oyen is her personal nurse.

Someone dropped his/her forty pesos somewhere in Greenbelt 2.  I picked it up and Oyen said I should not spend it, good luck money daw.   So paano,  it’s been in my wallet for a week now.  If you lost P40 when you were in Greenbelt,  this could be yours.
