Sm Muntinlupa is the nearest mall from our place. We are living in San Pedro, Laguna and it’s just a few minutes away from Tunasan, Muntinlupa City where the Sm Muntinlupa is located. I used to go there with my kids to do the grocery shopping because they love to spend the whole afternoon playing arcade games at Tom’s World. It’s a bit hard to carry the things that I bought in paper bags with no handles at all but then again, I got used to it and managed to bring my own reusable eco-friendly bag every time I’ll do the grocery. I love the idea because we really have to do something to take care and preserve our Mother Nature for the benefit of the next generations. I just hope that may the entire city in the Philippines as well as the whole world will do the same.
After we do the grocery, we’re about to hunt the best yet reasonable restaurant to dine. Most of the time, we always end up at Jollibee or Mc Donald’s because of the burgers, fries and sundaes that my kids love. One afternoon, I decided to sit down at the food court while thinking of the place to eat. I noticed a couple of food carts located beside the food court tables and it seems like plenty of people carry the same color of plates. I found out that it is a merienda cart from Sizzling Plate. It is a two merienda dish with a glass of gulaman which costs 50pesos only. I guess it’s a different meal each day but that day it was Carbonara and Lumpiang Sariwa. I ordered one for me and for my eldest son, Ken. The Lumpiang Sariwa is tasty as well as the Carbonara, enough to fill the hungry stomach of a single person for a reasonable price. I’ll surely try their different dish when I get to visit the mall and do the grocery the next time.
I’ve always had a history of hyper-acidity (also known as acid dyspepsia) since high school. I don’t know when or how did I get it, all I know is just it’s screwing me for over a decade. I am a slow-gainer. I was very skinny back in my elementary days. My mom let me tried different kinds of vitamins but none of them took effect on me. My dad is an OFW back then and when he comes home he jokingly asks my mom if she’s still feeding her kids because me and my only brother look like bamboo sticks (that’s what our bullies called us because we’re thin and tall) even if we get to eat whatever we want. Maybe we have a fast metabolism which everybody envies about especially now that I have kids already, eating everything that I want and still not getting fat. I remember the times that I’ve been hospitalized because of hyper-acidity. The doctor will always come up to a theory that I might be skipping meals but honestly not. Then he’ll ask me if I drink a lot of soda or coff...
