In a zombie apocalypse I'd be one of the people to survive...the first wave. I will sadly be bitten then killed by my fellow survivors or sacrifice myself- before fully turning- to save the others.

Funny thoughts will pop out if one has to endure disappointment in succession- like in one day.

Well, I managed to survive for four days without my sister. She's the managing one. I do not act my age so she has taken the role of elder away.
I even managed to keep up this jobless role.
I just wasn't able to endure the hunger.

Saturdays are for groceries and lounging in bed all day but since she went to Korea, grocery shopping is hanging on a balance scale. I don't want this to be a ranting post but to enlighten anyone reading, it means the financer is not around. It's either me (jobless wonder), my man cousin (adventure-on-the-go), and my woman cousin (oh-you're-here-phantom) who needs to shoulder the expenses.. come on right? It's quite obvious that it should be ME!
>insert shocked then angry face here<
Asked the help if mineral water is still a-ok..nope. One gallon left until tomorrow. We are so not gonna dehydrate ourselves. So okay. 100 for 5 gallons. No problemo just to save from being hassled this week. Next up is food. She said we still had eggs (2 in the rack), 2 small fishes fishes fisheees, and a small unidentified meat (dunno what it is because it was just a cursory glance, it's inside the freezer btw). Gave her 300 to buy something. Just somethiiing!! For crying out loud! She said maybe she and man cousin will buy tomorrow. Okay. She asked if I'm going out because she is. Nope- I told her to bring her kid with her. She did. This was 3 in the afternoon.

I heard the rumble of my stomach pets at around 5pm..went down and had a banana with peanut butter and coffee. At around 8p., I just realized they weren't back yet. Ookaay. It was almost ten when I finally got out of the safe haven called The Room and ventured to ak my girl cousin if she wanted me to buy something for her since I'd be buying my dinner outside. She gave me noodles instead. The kind that you have to boil. We both then went downstairs to forage for food. Found the fishes swimming in ice- defrost status activated. Oil and pan readied on the stove. Went ahead to heat up water for the noodles to swim in. Realized the fire was going steadily..steadily..steadily out.
Tried to give cpr to the stove but the click I heard was ominous. Girl cousin went down and checked. Gasul's dead. DEAD!

I stared at the stove for awhile. Culinary aspirations ruined because of thiiiiiissss!! Packed the noodles back. Oil returned to container. Brooded for a while.
The good thing about living here is the proximity to life, errr food-producing stalls. Tapsilog is the best tasting dish in my whole life! For tonight.

Everything that transpired had me thinking about zombies. We survive because we needed to. Tomorrow, however, is another day.

Sinangag express is not open on Sundays.
Tomorrow will be grocery day! Even if I have to let out the magical weapon called debit card.
Sister will be bound for home tomorrow. I think.

The good thing about tonight was the the cousins discussed about buying the burner. Electricity is not rare here so they can at least use that in case the gasul dies again.

Arrrghh. I am so not getting over the fact that I wasn't able to cook. (This happens in a blue moon, just so you know). Frustrations of my life.

There will be chocolate from the grocery tomorrow. Of that I have no doubt.

A small stone defeated a giant. It has also been known to injure unwary travellers and merry makers.
Beware of stones.
-_-||


Beautiful to look at but the danger lies beneath. 
Just wear slippers or some protective covering for your feet. You'll survive.
Just make sure you don't step on a stone on your way up..or while walking on a road somewhere.

This somewhat irrelevant post is due to the fact that two friends injured themselves on stones. 
Yes..stones. One had a complete fracture due to tripping on one. 
Let's all be careful since it's summer and slippers are common footwear.

P.s. The long absence sucks. Sorry for that.
