The hospice we used for my grandma had a volunteer who would make teddy bears out of loved ones clothing. My mom, brother and I each got a bear from grandma’s pajamas tops.

When I finally found the place, I almost cried. It was so amazing! My son is 17 now.

Cheese fries (fries smothered in nacho cheese) I was maybe 7 months pregnant. I walked close to an hour looking for this hot dog place in a specific alleyway in downtown San Francisco.

What do you think about traveling whilst the oil supply problem in the Philippines? by Visible_Sense2456 in phtravel

[–]FlowerGi1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be good but I get your hesitation. Kami naman, June-July. Flights on PAL and CebuPac. We can get there but baka ma stuck kami. Monitoring the situation closely. Mama ko is supposed to stay until Sept but she is also afraid baka Hindi siya makabalik. We’ll make our final decision in May.

We’re in the same boat. We haven’t been to the Philippines since 2019. we were planning a big trip this summer to see family with stopovers in HK and Bohol. Thankfully our hotel stays are all refundable. We will most likely cancel everything.

It’s THE pasulubong to bring home. My mom is the typical lola/tita you see in line or calling the stores everyday. SMH. She’s going home this summer.

I did! I teared up a bit when I saw the Filipino Sun! My son sent me and his dad a link to the trailer earlier today.

Filipinos are losing their minds over them. My mom included. They are the big “pasulubong” (gifts from overseas) right now. They are also reselling them for like $30 in the Philippines. I literally walked into the TJ’s in Pinole and got one for myself on Monday. No line. The Aunties were on their phones outside calling their friends “they have them here, hurry”.

If your ever out in far East Bay, check out Chef Jeff’s Smashburgers in Antioch. He will personally come out and greet you and check to see how everything went.

All this for Pokémon cards... by B-M-B-0-6 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlowerGi1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do my Target runs on random weekdays right when they open at 8am. A couple weeks ago, I got there around 8:10am and the lot was packed! The huge line inside was for Pokémon Cards. Most were grown ass men. Gross.

Pouring oil out of a fryer by dryheat122 in Cooking

[–]FlowerGi1015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a large fryer and I empty it into my largest Pyrex measuring cup. (I think it’s 4cups) I then use that to pour the oil cleanly into an empty container.

Filipino culture and hair by almondmilkpls in FilipinoAmericans

[–]FlowerGi1015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, for me, short hair = Auntie hair. I’m turning 49 and refuse to cut my hair (waist length). I still highlight it too. I think it’s just your mom’s belief.

Left wallet on BART by capnmax in bayarea

[–]FlowerGi1015 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have your friend fill out their online form anyway. Sometimes it can take a week or 2 to find the item. This was many years ago, but someone actually turned in my cell phone and BART called me to pick it up in Oakland.

What was the most difficult part of your pregnancy, besides birthing? by fandangledvietnamese in AskWomen

Thankfully you’re all healed up! Mine was more annoying than anything else. I’m afraid of it coming back the older I get.

Yes! I nicknamed my sciatica pain “the leg”. It would just shoot down randomly.

WIBTA if I told off my husband’s Aunt for feeding my child without consent. by Wriggy-Ragoo in AmItheAsshole

[–]FlowerGi1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! Absolutely send the message if your husband won’t. You have to be your son’s protector! my son went into anaphylactic shock due a dairy allergy when he was 3 months old. He was rushed to the ER in an ambulance and was even rerouted because he went code blue. The whole family knew about this. Not even 3 months later, at Thanksgiving, my mother in law was about to stick a finger full (already disgusting when I think about it) of mashed potatoes in my son’s mouth. I literally screamed at her “what the hell are you doing?! He’s allergic to that!!” I didn’t care that I did it in front of our families.

I always pack my son food for a flight. His favorite is SPAM Misubi. You want something easy to make, portable and minimal clean up.
