As much as I want to sleep because of that fucking jet lag, my Tita Edith keeps on bugging me about going to the mall and explore New Zealand 'til we pass out.
"I'm still sleepy Tita, get out of my room." I said and grab my comforter.
"C'mon Ral! Aalis na ko bukas, I just want to have some girl bonding with you and your Mom." She said while holding the tip of my comforter.
Si Tita Edith yung sumundo samin sa airport nang makarating kami dito. It's just a one week vacation here in New Zealand and tomorrow, babalik na sya ng Canada.
"Fine fine. Give me 30 minutes Tita."
We're so close to the point that I just can't resist her. People who don't know us may assume that she's my sister because of how she dress, but no. She's in the same age as mom but maybe because she's a single woman since her 20's, she can easily adopt the Gen Z vibe.
Tita Edith left and I started taking my bath. Damn it, I'm still sleepy.
I wore a simple plain white top and high waisted black knee ripped jeans paired with white sneakers. Tho Tita Edith filled my closet with lots of new clothes and shoes, wala ako sa mood mag-ayos. I just want this day to finish and sleep again.
I pass by my brother's room and saw him on his bed, happily sleeping. Sana all.
"Hey Ral! Look at this! I think you need a new bag for your school. What do you think?" She said while showing me a Louis Vuitton shoulder bag. I'm not a fan of shoulder bags Tita, what the hell??
"I don't think s-"
"OKAY! ADD TO CART!!" She said happily and give the bag to the sales lady as she clings on Mom's arm.
Damn it.
We do the in and out shopping, massage, mani and pedi, and such. Pagkatapos namin kumain at ikutin and halos buong mall, nag-pasya na silang umuwe. Thank God.
It's nearly 8pm when we come home and Tita Edith decided to stay at the hotel near the airport cos she said, she don't want hassle in life lol
I immedietly run upstairs and push myself to the bed. Ahhh heaven.

Today is sunday and we just attended a Mass at the church near our place.
We're on our way to the store and Kuya Blake said that it is just a simple convenient store.
"Nakakatuwa no? Inayos lahat ni Edith. Sa bahay, sa sasakyan, at tsaka dito sa store." Mom said to Dad who's on the passenger's seat.
"Buti na lang. Kung hindi, naku hindi ko alam saan hahanap ng matinong pwesto." Dad replied
As we arrive, I saw bunch of people falling in line in front of our store for I don't know hours and saw a placard in front saying "Opening!! All items are 70% off!!!"
I don't know if my parents forgot that this is just a simple convenient store, not a supermarket.
Mom and Dad happily cut the ribbon as they welcome the kiwis.
"9 dollars" I said to the customer. Dad is busy re-filling the ice cream machine while Mom and Kuya Blake are busy changing the trash bags and here I am, being the adorable cashier.
It's almost 6pm when we decided to fix everything and go home.
This day was tiring hmm.
It's just the first day and I already don't have any chance to back out.
