I don't really have the plan to go visit the market today but then I remember we don't have vegetable dish to pair with the sweet and sour chicken adobo I made last night so I decided to go with Mama. I am planning to buy an already cooked vegetable dish in a nearby restaurant because I am to lazy to cook one. Lol. And seriously, I can't think of any vegetable dish to make so better just check in the market. I'm thinking of buying Chopsuey or Humbang Langka, I suddenly crave for them. Humbang Langka is really the best though!

As for Mama, her only purpose coming here was to buy rice for her pets. She also has leftovers of her version of chicken adobo from last night so she doesn't really need to buy ingredients today for her lunch \⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠/. So we just grab what we need in the market and went back checking some restaurant. Sadly, I couldn't find the vegetable dish I want, but we still have the last restaurant we will visit, hopefully we can find some in there. This restaurant is the new one I Mentioned in my recent article, the one where we bought that yummy spaghetti. It's the same building of the restaurant I already shared before but with different owner again this time. I think this is the 5th owner now that open a restaurant here.

The ambiance in here now is much brighter compare before. Maybe because the windows are more open and people can see what they have inside. And I noticed during our visit that a lot of people eat here now. Especially during Sunday, most of the people that just got out in the church was coming here. And I already tasted their Chopsuey, Spaghetti and Pancit Palabok so I can tell that's the reason why there's more costumer now in here. Good for them (⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^⁠)⁠ノ. But anyways, sadly, I didn't find the veggies I want in here too so I ended up buying Sauteed Ampalaya with Egg, but on a different restaurant. Sad. This one's not bad as well because it has lots of scrambled edd which is I love the most in a Sauteed Ampalaya. We had awesome lunch!

After having lunch, I went downstairs to Mama's garden and just look around here and there. There's still a lot to see here no matter how many times I walk around here. Like this Moringa's tiny flower, so pretty and white.

And of course, I'm not alone when I had walk in here. Today's the day my cat debuted as a model, look how awesome they walk in the stone wall like it is their own red carpet, haha, though it's not red. Lol - a literal Catwalk. Lol

Anyways, during my walk here, I discovered something amazing in the backyard. I remembered sharing the Banaba Tree in our yard here and that time i'm wondering if it ever bloom flowers and I discovered that it actually did. And today, I got lucky and notced that it is blooming flowers right now. The sad thing is, the flowers is at the very top and one one branch if the tree has a blooming flowers. Like why they don't bloom on the lower part? I want to see them close up because they looks really beautiful even from afar, SEE (⁠ノ゚⁠0゚⁠)⁠ノ⁠→

I also tried to look at the ground to check if there's a flowers in there that fall down, unfortunately theres none. Still, I am very happy with this \⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠/.

Today's first day of August, OMG! My birth month. I'm turning 31, I mean 21... Wait, it's really 21 (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠). But nevermind that, today is also Hive Power Up Day and of course, I wouldn't miss this. Twi days ago I power 14 Hive to see if my KE score will go down. But maybe because it is too small, nothing's change and it is still at 1.80. And today, I power up 11 Hive and this time, it lower a bit and from 1.80, it is now at 1.79 KE. Yayyy, HAPPY ME! So if I continue powering up every first day of the month, that's 12 times, I will for sure be able to lower my KE more. As long as I don't power down, it won't change, probably.

So after all that powering up, I now have 8,242 HP. Hihi, hope to see 9,000 HP soon. \⁠(⁠๑⁠╹⁠◡⁠╹⁠๑⁠)⁠ノ⁠♬
