Story#65 Life Update of a Pinoy Single Mom,15 days of using lesser things

Kindly watch story #63 here

Mom and Dad just got back (from The  US) po from visiting my Sister and her family due to the long overdue reunion during the pandemic. 

I tried ripe Indian mango slices, with some orange peel slivers Mom and Dad brought from their flight from a few days ago with shamrock from foraging at home. Please read the disclaimer po. It was simple, it tasted bland but the mangoes were good.

I have learned to eat simple flavors. It is good for my health. Yes, the family thinks it's boring. I tell them, this is what we have on our planet. Anyways po.

Breakfast with Mom and Dad, they try to not talk when I shoot, off cam, Dad would crack jokes, Mom would listen, and I would do both. I often give them some quiet time. They weren't together that much when we were growing up ( with siblings due to work. They are retired, semi-retired, or as they say there's no such thing as retirement from having a family po.

Lunchtime came. we were all tired from the picking up from the airport late at night, then their jet lag, whatever food that was sent by my sister and family, those were what we had. Like this Blueberry Almond Energy Bar.  I honestly had 4 of these, I know it's bad po, but yes I was hungry. I just wanted to share the clip, you might be wanting a mukbang of this treat po.

I also had to transfer to another room po, the weather was too hot for Mom and Dad, they are staying in the room where I use to.

I also want to share how it has been on my 15th day of living with lesser things ( kindly watch story #58 on Youtube), I am starting to realize the many things I had before that I don't use anymore. Having lesser things is better. There are struggles like washing the clothes more often since you only have a few. I needed to make sure that the things I decided to have are going to be my essentials.

Turtle-neck shirts on a topical country

The part where I needed to alter the turtle-necked shirt for a better fit since I am in a tropical country. I cut a slit at the back part of the neckline to hide it because of the weather, I know I had to give up some regular tops to have four of these, I need to survive in detaching and putting the neckline together depending on the season po. I just roll up my sleeves to adapt.

The Sandals

I bought this pair of short hiking sandals in a store in Cubao, it is big and so I just kept it because there were so many restrictions during the pandemic when I planned for a hike and the rest is history, we all had plans during those days but was delayed and all that po. I just thought of maybe having a shoemaker trim the sole to my size po. That I found the shoemaker yesterday, and he said it's possible.  So maybe in this part, I tried to restyle the straps for a more comfortable fit p. You may want to try it too. I would use the original style for a real hike. This is what I will use for now and a regular flat pair of shoes.

I wanted the taste of peanut butter and so I made this recipe since there are bananas at home.

Peanut Butter, Cacao Beans and Banana Ice Cream

(Increase the quantity of you wish to make a pint (x3 ) of the recipe)

2 Tablespoons pounded roasted cacao beans

pinch of salt

2 pieces bananas ( i used small ones)

 1 Tablespoon peanut  butter ( not heaping because this peanut butter has too much oil  po)

Banana Peel as Moisturizer

Since I don't buy most of my toiletries except for some po, I use fruit and vegetables as my cosmetic. Then I simply rinse it with water.

I also have been doing some projects that I needed to use first before I share it with you po. Then I also wanted to show you how simple the banana ice cream was, it tasted simple. That's what I look for when I eat, nothing complicated anymore, life is too short.  The book I showed in this story is my go-to book for self-help,I do have some that I passed on already po. I found this book in a second-hand book shop. 

I had Aratiles fruit from a fruit shop in UP Diliman Coop.  I remember we had a tree at the back of our house in Novaliches that bore Aratiles fruits, these cute babies, my favorite po. We would have a contest on who would get the most and keep it in our shirts, that we used as the basket to bring inside the house.
