One evening's dinner.
Gigi's homemade Japanese-style menu
Boiled fish and bamboo shoots, okra and chicken, jackfruit coconut soup, Japanese soba noodles with local vegetables and papaya
However, when I left the soba making to my sister Irene, it was a series of failures for a month.
It's a rule that anyone staying or eating at our house must greet us in Japanese.
Currently, I'm practicing these six words intensively.
The children now greet me in the morning and evening with beautiful pronunciation.
Today, two families went to the beach for a swim.
A place about 5 minutes from my house
Having seen Moalboal, Camotes Island, and White Beach on Siquijor Island in Cebu, I was disappointed by the dirty sea.
There's a large river nearby, and it rains almost every night, so the seawater remains murky.
Nevertheless, Gigi and the other children were overjoyed.
Even when Gigi takes him out to sea, he calmly paddles back.

But after a swim, I'm fast asleep in the cottage.
The peanut girl takes a liking to Lily and keeps talking to her and petting her, but Lily is fast asleep on her dad.
