My parents and my tita went to Seattle on Friday, so when I got home from school, nobody was around. It felt weird because I am so used to coming home with the lights on and usually, someone would be home. Last Friday, no one was home.
I took a shower after and right on time, Cathy and
Rj came. Good thing I was already dressed! Haha. Friends knows best, that's why they brought food with them because there was "nothing" to eat at my house. How was I going to surive the weekend without my parents? No one was going to cook meals for me... or so I thought.
It wasn't long after
we ate when Melvin came, but Cathy and Rj had to go because it was getting dark. I was stuck with Melvin! Yuck! Hehe, just kidding. We had fun watching "Otso-Otso" which I watched probably for the third time. Even Melvin memorized the lines from the movie already. After that, we watched "The Bride of Chucky." Aika was coming at 9 pm and I did not know what to feed that girl. So around 8, I prepared the ingredients to make Chow Mein. Around 10 minutes later, Aika arrives. I thought someone was going to drop her around 9 and there was no food yet! The dance practice was cancelled. All right, she watched Chucky then.
I was half sure I knew what I was doing for the Chow Mein. Melvin helped me with it by stirring the ingredients around in the pan. We should have shredded the chicken first instead of doing it in the pan. Boy, that was difficult. The vegetables kept jumping out because the chickens kept moving. They were still alive! Haha, just kidding.
After about an hour, the Chow Mein was cooked. Of course, we had a couple of sessions adding more and more soy sauce to it because it tasted bland at first. The result was heavenly though because that was the first time I ever made Chow Mein and it tasted good! Ok... with the help of Melvin, but all he did was stir. No worries.
Chow Mein a la Irene
There were a lot of dishes to wash, but thankfully Melvin was there. I was watching him wash the dishes and I was amazed. He took the time to scrub every single piece. Now I know who to hire when I have my own house. Hehe.
After Chucky, we watched "Otso-Otso" again, this time with Aika. I fell asleep on the couch not realizing that it was already about 10 when I woke up. I took little naps that night until the movie was finished. I think Melvin went home around 12. I asked him to leave because it was late. If he didn't leave, he could have ended up sleeping over. Eyng?!
