Everyone was outside and talking about many things. My siblings, my cousins and I were discussing about various topics when we suddenly felt hungry :D Thus, it's time to do what we usually do when we're hungry but with tight budget.
Due to the cold weather we are feeling right now and hunger, we decided to cook "lugaw". It's actually our habit to have some "lugaw" when we are bored, the weather is cold or when we are hungry. Also, it's not that hard to prepare and very cheap :)Since, we are broke right now, this is what we can afford :)
It's also a fun activity to do, for all of us really do different tasks and show cooperation. By doing this, we can deepen the relationship that we have, and bind with each other. It's so fun talking with them while cooking :)
Some of us were preparing the ingredients, washing the utensils or preparing the fire :) It was so nice looking at them being focused on what they were doing. Actually, each of us shared a cup of rice, and gave small amount to have all the ingredients.
Although there were some arguments, we were still able to manage it and continued what we were doing.
And after some minutes of cooking, it was done!
We actually cooked much more that what we expected :D So, we also gave some to our neighbors.
While eating, we still continued talking about different things. What we have done today helped us to be closer. Foods really bring people closer to each other, does it? :D
When I have money, I really make sure to spend some time with my family by buying some foods that we can share. In this way, we can spare some time to talk. Some of us are very busy at work that it is difficult for us to gather like this. So, we we have the chance we really do schedule some days for gathering.
Family time is an essential moment that deepens the relationship :) Make sure to spare some time with your family :)
