We decided to change our challenge to somewhere else and before we can begin it. Carmina had to make sure Mary Ann is prepared with a thick winter jacket and a pair of boots. Carmina asked, Mary Ann if she had a jacket and boots to wear on our outing since the climate is not how we are use too being humid or warm weather. Mary Ann said she left her winter clothes in Germany. Carmina went to the old house where she had use to live to get winter clothes that was given to her from family members from California. Due to my diet, I've lost a lot of weight and decided to give what no longer fits me. I looked into a room where we store our winter clothes and came across a thick jacket that Mama Tess has given to me. The color really suits Mary Ann since it is also her favorite. My niece had given me her old pair of UGG Boots in a size 7 made in Vietnam.  Just wait until February comes and you'll see where we are headed too.

Last year Carmina had posted she had won in Bingo and Che had message asking me for a balito (gift). Often this word comes across when someone wins something that involves with money. Carmina decided to just give Che and her daughter clothes she had purchased in the past that was too small by size. Clothes that she never wore and clothes that doesn't seem to fit you being one size fits all. Not many Asian sizes that are one size fit you can be the right one for you. Mom Violy had mentioned to Carmina that Che and Rhian cannot afford items of their own.  The best way is to clean out stuff you don't see yourself wearing and give to those who can make use of it. Remember currently Carmina is staying in another home and still have items left behind. Everyone does their own spring cleaning just I decided to do it early. Carmina had shoes she wore a long time ago. Shoes that I hardly wore but when you lose weight so much weight your feet tend to slip away. All shoes were purchased ye...

Carmina was getting thirsty. I went inside 7 - Eleven and came across checking out what ready meals were available in the refrigerator section near the counter of the cash register. If your appetite is like mine eating four mini tacos can fill you up. At first, I couldn't find where the ground meat trying to figure where it was placed. I found out later it was combined with the cheese. I didn't need to heat it up. I was able to manage eating at room temperature by adding the ingredients that was already packed up separately.  Best Mini Tacos in Town from Pancake House at  7 - Eleven selling price is PHP 99.00 ($1.80) wasn't bad for a snack.
