Embracing the Weekend Vibe: Bad Dysmenorrhea, Mama's Pancit Bato Guisado with Chicken Liver, and The Bankal's Flowers

I haven't even finished what I started to type here yet when the rain started, and when it rains, we have to expect a thunderstorm accompanied by the heavy rain. It has always happened in the afternoon for three days now. Before that, the schedule of the rain happened every night. Why it changed schedule again, I don't know. And when there's a thunderstorm, we always turn off our gadgets. With the news of people getting struck by the lightning, it happened even when you are inside your home, our safe place, so to make sure we are safe, we just turn it off and place it somewhere that it can be hidden. Do you do that too during a thunderstorm?

Anyways, I woke up this morning with a feeling of discomfort and PAIN. I had to pee but there's a faucet inside my peepee, everytime I move, a liquid will drop, it's like of a faucet. It's uncomfortable, annoying, and really... exhausting.

And because of the unbearable pain, I didn't do much today. I had a lot of cravings but I stop myself from eating a lot, I had Nova with Coke though \⁠(⁠ϋ⁠)⁠/⁠♩. Well, at least I stopped myself from buying pizza, cheesy burger and some sweets. Safuuuu (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

Then during lunch time, Mama called me to have some Ginisang Pancit with Pancit Bato, she cook it with chicken liver and lots of vegetables. Seriously, chicken liver is really great with Pancit or when mix it in Chopsuey. It is more tasty! I eat this Ginisang Pancit with rice. Its a good thing Mama cook this, although we have leftover fried fish from yesterday, we don't have vegetable dish to pair with it, so having this Ginisang Pancit is really awesome. I enjoy my lunch a lot.

Ah, by the way, while picking the Ginisang Pancit, I noticed the new fish being sun dried in the yard. Mama told me she bought Milk Fish to dry, she bought a kilo of it. Now my lil brother friends has a lot of option to choose, will they get Lagidlid or the Milk Fish? I'd pick both if it's me, ,haha. How about you? What would you choose?

I also roam around in the yard for a bit, just looking around and checking this and that. While roaming around, I saw a dried flowers of Bangkal Tree. I remember taking a photo of it weeks ago and haven't had the chance sharing it. That Bangkal Tree is really huge now. It has yellow flowers and they just fall on the ground, the tree is really big but look how small those flowers are. Lol

Here's the Bangkal tree now after 3 weeks. No more flowers, just the leaves. And it's getting taller. And the photo I took weeks ago was actually the first time that it blooms a flowers. But yeah, they dried up a bit faster. And they are tiny, and if the flowers fall in one place, it can really look a bit messy. But Mama doesn't sweep them, she just let it dried and evaporate on their own. As I check a while ago, those dry flowers on the ground are all gone now.
