The smoke from the newly stewed pork mounted and spreading on to the high ceiling. Iwinasiwas ko ang kamay para alisin ang usok na tumatakip sa paningin. Nanay was wearing a mask to keep herself from being exposed in too much smoke.

hindi makapaniwala si Manang. Marahan kong kinuha ang basag kong cellphone sa bulsa ng P.e pants ko, pinindot ang power button at nakita ang mensahe galing lamang kay Lulu. Lulu: Nakauwi na ko, ikaw ba? Walang tawag mula kay Mommy o kay Daddy. Wala ring mensahe mula kay Kuya o kay Eisa. Sumulyap ako kay Manang at banayad siyang nginitian. "Baka kumakain na po yung mga 'yun."

Manore with his sweet smile. “I’m glad that you came down here. Here is my specialty, dinuguan. It tastes good with rice and puto. But now, rice is the only available companion for this dish.” He said this after putting the bowl on the table and while sitting down beside me. “Thank you for this, Mr. Manore.” I sincerely said and got myself a spoon, mixed the dinuguan together with the rice, scooped it, and directly put it in my mouth. I didn’t know that it was hot. What the hell happened?!?!I burned my upper lip and my tongue.

sabi ni Manong Jorgie. "Opo. Lalabas na po ako. Sandali lang po" sagot ko at bumangon sa pagkakahiga sa kama ko. Pagkarating ko sa kitchen ay nakahain na yong hapunan. Sinigang na baboy at adobong manok. Umupo ako at kumuha ng pinggan tapos sumandok ng kanin at ulam. "Kain na po tayo Manong Jorgie" anyaya ko kay Manong Jorgie.

"Sige na nga maupo na kayong dalawa bago pa lumamig ang pagkain." The two obediently pulled out their chairs. For the first time in days...The heaviness inside Audrae's chest felt just a little lighter. The dining table was already filled with steaming dishes. Adobo. Grilled bangus. Fresh vegetables. A large bowl of sinigang. And, of course... An extra plate of rice that Mama Beth had obviously prepared for the athletes. "Kain na."

The woman with short hair was dreamy. Marra smiled faintly as she put some medium-sized octopus tentacles into a black plastic bag. "Pinangat, are you from Bicol?" The sad-faced woman looked at Marra and nodded. "You know. Then I'll cook adobong pugita instead." "That was very good, Auntie. Next time I'll leave out the catfish, tuna, and sardines so you can make pinangat. I promise." Marra gave the woman the black plastic.

I love Mama! "You are kidding, Ma? I'm sure Bonnie's on cloud nine right now because of your approval," Pearl interrupted. I jokingly glare at her. She just stuck her tongue. Ben snickered. Nice friends! Grrr. We talk much over dinner but only casual topics. Mama's recipes for the night were superb and delicious. It was my favorite Filipino cuisine. She served Pochero, Ginataang hipon, Afritada and Ez favorite, Bicol Express.

She pouted and was about to throw a tantrum any longer. "I'm so starving, Manong. Can we eat lunch first? My treat." She snorted while crossing her arms. She does not accept refusals. She is starving to death already. (Manong - is used to address any older men unrelated to you and to show respect. Just like 'Uncle'.) "Yes, Agape. I knew a five-star restaurant nearby---" "No, no, no. I want to eat in a carinderia like what Aling Jena introduced to me. She said the foods there are delicious. And mostly homemade.

He just thought that maybe it was because of his sleeping position.
