Our Kind of Unwinding: Grocery Shopping, Trying New Food, and Seeing a Beetroot for the First Time!

1000012682.png

To be honest, I am too lazy to go somewhere today. But then, Mommy F really wants to go to Pinamalayan to relax. If I didn't go, no one would hold or guide her when they walk around, and so, despite the laziness I am currently feeling and even though I am having a second thought about going, I still ready myself, and here we are walking to the terminal. Lucky for us because there's already a vehicle waiting in there, ready to leave any moment.

I am not really sure what their plan are, I am just following them the whole time. And to be honest, it's not like Pinamalayan has those big malls where we can hangout and enjoy the aircon.

So anyways, we arrive in Pinamalayan after an hour, and we just asked the driver to drop us on the sidewalk. They said we will go in Puregold because it is cold in there and it is really a perfect place to hang out. At least we found a place to stay. Though I am sure we'll need to buy a lot inside too for us to stay longer inside. Lol. And as you can see, there are four of us here: me, Mommy F, Mommy D, and Auntie Velyn. Mama was left at home, though, she's busy on her phone, and no one will take care of her beloved pets if she came with us.

The oldies immediately go inside and seriously it is really hot outside. So going inside Puregold is the best thing to do here.

We get inside the establishment and of course the first thing Mommy F requested was taking photos of her which I gladly do, ehe. She's so happy because we get to have this kind of bonding moment again outside. Doing this every once in a while is a must!

Mommy D bought a few goodies here to display in here sari sari store band because we're already here Mommy F shop for a few things as well, mostly just food. What I like to Mommy F when she shop is, when she saw something new, she will try some of those for the experience. She doesn't think much about it as long as she has the money and she like this or that, she will buy it

Just like this two, I know about Yoghurt, there's ads about it in the local channel and even though i'm curious, we never tried it. Even the oldies doesn't know about it. So when she them in shelve and she that it cost 27 pesos only, she decided to grab 3 to try some. Same with this noodles. I'm not too familiar with it but Mom wants to try and base on the photo, it looks good so we get just one. Its big so I think this will be good already for three people. We don't eat much noodles anyways so this is just right and one of this cost 81 pesos. Kinda expensive. But still, it's for the experience ehe. Have you already try this guys? (⁠ノ゚⁠0゚⁠)⁠ノ⁠→

Mom also want to try the frozen Salmon but I had to stop her because it is just too damn expensive. The. She saw this Purefoods Beef Franks with Angus and because I am also curious in it I just let mom buy it haha. But still, this one cost 278 pesos. Not that great of a difference in price with Salmon. Still it looks good though. But is Angus that great? Coz why its expensive? I'm not really knowledgeable when it comes to this haha. I only buy stuffs in the local market so bear with me and my ignorance, lol

We also check the vegetable and fruit section and one fruit caught my attention. This is my first time seeing this one and is this a fruit? I tried searching gor it using google lens and its says Beetroot, so this is beetroot and we have this here? Whoa! I saw this a few things shares by a fellow Hivers here. That time i'm still not sure if we have beetroot here but now I am sure. It had a kot of health benefit too no? Sadly this one is on a poor condition already. It's kinda soft already who knows how long this one was being kept here. But I am glad to finally see one of this in person. Ehe

So we stay in Puregold for 1 hour and 35 minutes and staying, walking around and looking for something are all worth it because it's cold inside. If only they have resting area inside I'll stay there for one more hour ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ haha.

We often feel so relaxed that we don't even want to leave the room where we sleep. I totally understand. But it was definitely worth it. You were able to have a different experience and discover new products to buy and try. Beets are one of the foods I eat frequently, due to my anemia. Cheers 🤗🥰

Real, real, haha. But yeah i'm really glad that I go with them. Oh yeah, its for anemia, its sad coz their beetroot is already too soft. Or is that its real texture? How do I know if its fresh though?

The real texture is hard, you know it is fresh, when it is not wrinkled, nor soft.

I love that a lazy day turned into such a fun family adventure 💕 It’s best when you just go with the flow and end up discovering new things together ✨ It's always worth it to spend that time with family 💖 That beetroot is cool! It's also my first time to see it 👀

Yep, yep, and that's very true especially if with the fam naman. Matic na kapag ganyan, it'll be a fun time experience.

Yogurt is yum and good for your health as well... And the beef franks, mukhang yum nga! 😋 Pahingi pag niluto. HAHAHA

Oh yeah, I heard that too. Kami nalamg ata ang di nakaka try nito eh hahaha. Ay dapat talaga masarap to, sa mahal baga naman aguy

….when she saw something new, she will try some of those for the experience.

Same here kapag nakakatingin dati sa mga Canteen 😂 naalala ko yung Ramen ng korea nakiki-uso sa buldak maanghang pala 😭 tapos sa chopstick na di naman marunong jusko

Buti ate nakasama/sumama ka. Sana ayain din ako sa ganito puro kasi kapag nag-aya lola ko puros mga matatanda naman kasama 😂

Hahaha, masaya din naman mag explore diba kaso pag di success sa ganyan feeling ko ang stupid ko jahahahaha. Yung chopstick never ko tinry sa public coz alam kong di ko kaya hahahaha

Haha yong oldies na nga kasama, pang oldies pa activity? Aguy ay haha

Well, wala ako pake sa opinion ng iba simula natuto ako kuamin sa labas ng mag-isa. Nagtry lang din naman sila sa una so lahat may mga bagay na hindi natututunan kaagad or may mga tao na slow-learner if they don't know that and they judge you sa public of how your way of sa mga bagay, may sira sila sa utak coz ang simple ng "Mind your own business", at "Let the other people enjoy small things" char 😆

Oo hahahaha 😭 Like party ng mga Senior Citizen, manunuod daw ako. 😆

That feeling of wanting to stay home but then choosing to be there for family is something I deeply understand. It reminded me to appreciate the small moments, and cherish the bonds we have with our loved ones❤️

Yeah, and in the end i'm super happy coming with them. I had a great time with our small walk too.

I haven’t seen a beetroot also. It was nice of you to join and guide the oldies from going outside and have a little grocry shopping.

Really, hope you see one soon. Next time we should also try it too. Yeah, joining them is a fun time.
