Stranded

It didn't stop raining yesterday. My husband and I woke up having a shower in bed. The strong wind enabled the rainwater to enter our bedroom. And there was no electricity!


I was supposed to run some errands yesterday: go to Bambang to buy scrub suits for my Mom, go to Ongpin to buy Glutathione pills for Ate Leda and check the price of a ceramic iron at Watson. I also was supposed to have a lunch date with Ate Girl and the kids at Yellow Cab in Alabang Town Center. But the rain didn't let me leave home.


My husband and I were stranded inside our house. We learned how to make a meal from what's left in the cupboard. We had ground pork, tomato sauce in basil, potatoes and sayote. Viola! I made a "pacham" meal... And Mhark liked it very much. ^-^


The current finally went back. So we watched tv. After gotten tired of the Sunday shows, Mhark went back to his review materials while I turned the laptop on and did my thing.


In between his review and my net surfing, we'd exchange kisses and hugs and sweet stuff.


Later, we realized that it doesn't happen very often that we stay at home together one whole day. No basketball games for Mhark and no weekend girlfriend dates for me. We're actually glad we got stranded. We were together, anyways...

Rain brings more than water.

:D

What's a pacham? And I've never heard of a dish that has both potatoes and sayote.

Hehe.

Yes, rain does! Sometimes, the things that we don't like a lot are the ones that bring unexpected blessings. ^-^

A pacham is a dish made from scratch. It got its name from the tagalog word "pachamba-chamba", meaning "pure luck". I haven't heard of a dish that has potatoes and sayote, either. But those were the only edible things I found inside the fridge.

Hehehehe!
