Turning a Bad Day into a Cool Day: Buying Creamy Buko Shake and Monggo Hopia for our Snacks

We're out, and I'm currently sulking in annoyance as we didn't accomplish anything today due to the unforeseen happenings. I'm annoyed but helpless. I hate it when what I planned for the day fails, and hahhh... ಥ_ಥ It's upsetting, really.

Anyways, we're in Pinamalayan again to take care of the renewal of my PhilHealth account and to get an updated MDR. But yeah, this important one is what we failed on securing. But well, life must go on, so we chose to have fun while we're here. There's no use in making this day as sh_ttier as it already is, so better just enjoy it and forget those sh_tty moments. ┐( ˘_˘)┌

The last time we went here, they didn't have this banderitas yet. But now it's on, and we can feel more of the festive vibes in here.

There's still ongoing construction inside the park, I'm not sure what they're planning to build here. But it's been like this for a long time now. I think they started the construction last year.

By the way, we're on our way to the C.R. here. It's nature's call, so we had to stop by here. It's actually very close here, it's just in the back of this place. I remember this part is really pretty, with clean water and a fish too. But now, aside from it being dirty, it also stinks. Aigoooo.

After stopping by at the CR, we headed next to where the food stalls are. Mama is craving Buko Shake, so we decided to go find some. There's actually a lot of them here, but the question is, which stalls have the best Buko Shakes? Lol

We passed by three different stalls that sells bukod shake before we saw this one. What caught my attention is they have the small one, which is just right for me, although it says medium, but it's their smallest, actually. Glad they have the smallest version. And this actually helps cool me down, as I was really annoyed before coming here. Cold drink is the answer for a bad day, you agree? Ehe

After drinking our Buko Shakes, we then had a walk again. Mama wants to buy a hair clip, so we're going to check the Palanyag again. But seriously though, it's hot here in Pinamalayan today. It rained this morning, but I feel like that just made the heat more intense and itchy to the skin.

Anyways, we look for a spot where we can chill and relax and take cover from the intense heat. We found a good place here, which is surrounded by beautiful greens. It's windy too, which is much cooler for us.

And while sitting, relaxing, and letting the time pass, we are munching on some yummy snacks, which are Monggo Hopia and Ham and Cheese Donut for Mama. The Monggo Hopia tastes really good. I regretted that I only bought 2 pieces of it. Aigoooo.

But I got 5 pieces of big Ensaymada with Ube fillings. It's a take home for me and the oldies. Mama get the same together with Chicken Pie and Buko Pie.
