This morning, my mom cooked something special for us, seafood kare-kare one of my favorite dishes. Regularly, my Mom never asked or tells me to get up on my bed but she let me sleep as long as I want. This day is different, for she kept on calling me to get out of my room and join them for breakfast. . At first I was so irritated because of the difficulty of pulling your body to the kitchen but when I was there at the kitchen and saw the food, woooah! I smiled and was pump up for the morning in an instant. Without further delays I said, what are we waiting for? Common Mom let’s eat! Ahaha! Funny thing was they all have already taken their breakfast. So here I am, still at the table eating crabs…ahaha! I stop the rice already to enjoy the crab.. Enjoy the food peeps!
