so i bought her a necklace as a birthday gift... but could not think of anything to buy for my house... =P
when we arrived... there were already some guests in the house...
what do you do before you step foot into a house..?
take off your shoes right..?
well... we were told that it's ok to keep our shoes on... the gals looked at me unsure... but i told them to jus follow... and i noticed that everyone in the house had their shoes on...
the first few steps into the house felt really awkward... we had NEVER set foot in our house with our shoes on... in fact the gals would get a scolding if they were to do that..!
but we received first class treatment from then on... we were first to eat... first to get our drinks... we used proper plates and spoons and forks... while the rest used paper plates and plastic spoons and forks...
the spread was really interesting... thought they catered... but actually... they all came from my kitchen..! didnt know so much could be done in my kitchen..! hahaha...
all filipino food... all unfamiliar to me... looked different... tasted rather good though... they all prepared the meal themselves... and mainly the men did the cooking... even my gals loved the food...
it was a rather enriching experience for us... though i still dunno wad the dishes are called... they were all in tagalog...
then after the meal... i realised that the container that they had used to hold the spaghetti sauce... was the basin i used to rinse my dirty cloth after cleaning all the surface tops..! and the gals loved the spaghetti the best..! hahaha...
left about 30mins later... cos felt bad that the birthday gal was with us all the time... and her guests were left on their own...
besides the weird feeling of wearing shoes in my house... the experience was really a rather nice one... =)
