Our Family Dinner Outside

Around 4:30 yesterday, my baby and I had a walk with her grandma. The weather was fine, but we went back home after an hour because I almost passed out. I was dizzy. Maybe because I didn't have a good sleep for 7 nights. My baby is teething. She awakens in the middle of a deep REM-like she has a nightmare. She has swollen gums where the canine and lateral in her lower teeth are almost erupting.

My mother carried my baby when we were on the way home, but before that, we dropped by at the guard house. I had a package to claim. The last name in the box was misspelled and it’s hilarious that even if my vision was blurry, I noticed that misspelled penmanship. Inside the box are Macaroni, fruits in cans, juices, and yogurt for my baby. It is his father that sent it.

It was also a good decision to come back home because the clouds were gray. In the picture is my mother rushing to walk with my baby on her shoulder. It was almost raining. Kids did come out of their homes because they knew that bad weather was coming. Some mothers have powerful instincts of bad weather so they forbid their children from outdoor activities, but I disagree a little because exposing your child to bad weather means it is powering up their immune system.

Before I went to the house, I spoke to a neighbor’s dog who endured an injury on his foot. Maybe he was hit by a vehicle or maybe fought by other dogs. His face was sad and needed comforting, so I tried to talk to him to calm down. He wagged his tail and looked at me, which meant that she was happy. It also means he is comfortable with me. Later, the dog owner came out of their house and took her immediately. My three dogs heard that I entertained another dog so they became jealous. They kept on barking while I talked to a neighbor’s dog.

At night, the dizziness just disappeared. My big brother brought us to a restaurant for dinner. Of course, my baby should be there too, but she liked to move all the time. The waiter gave us the chair for babies but she kept crying sitting in there because she loves exploring what is inside the restaurant. She says “hi” to many people, observes the chef smoking the chicken, and touches everything. I couldn’t sit down in just a few seconds or else, she might be doing something and can damage something owned by the restaurant.

My mother and my little sister complained about the long wait for the food. The waiter reminds us that the ordered food will be served for 25 minutes. While they were sitting down and using their gadgets, I took this photo because I liked the lamps as background. I was also rushing because my baby in a baby chair was almost jumping. Wherever we go, there is always a feeding bottle.

My little sister tried to amuse my baby so she would stop crying, but it didn't work that way. What she wants is to get out of the chair and move everywhere inside the restaurant and touch everything. She wants to fill in the line at the cashier and observe the customers. My little sister gave her a fluffy keychain, but she was bored with it.

The food was served after 25 minutes. The chicken is hot and juicy. The halo-halo dessert is my favorite in this restaurant. The size of the chicken depends on your pick. It was yummy but I didn't have the time to enjoy it more ‘cos my baby doesn't like to stay at our table. The restaurant gave an unlimited rice, but I didn't even finish the rice.

To those who are single, you should enjoy your time being free. Travel where you want to go, eat at your favorite restaurant, go to the beach, watch movies, and party with your friends ‘till you're fed up with being free but don't forget to work hard and save money. One day, you'll search for a real-life that won't cost you. One day, you'll seek your value and real purpose as a woman!

Belated Happy International Women's Day!
