yesterday my brothers and i went to walmart to buy some house supplies. bought a new door mat (a colorful one that says "welcome"), some cleaning supplies, car supplies, food supplies etc. what was supposed to be only a 30 minute shopping trip turned out to be an 1-2 hour trip looking around at the things on sale. my younger brother don don went to the storage box areas. he was adamant in finding plastic boxes to store his game consoles, he doesn't want them to just be left in the open in our basement. kani lagi si dondon he has so many game systems. in fact he has every game system that i think ever came out: nes, snes, sega genesis, n64, gamecube, xbox, playstation, playstation 2, playstation 3, xbox 360 and other older systems. mo ingon sija, "these are true collectables, kuya. i have to have them."
hahaha!
my youngest brother, si andre, and i went to the electronics section looking at the new plasma and led tvs that were on sale. i saw the 60 inch samsung plasma tv , with wifi capabilities and all the gadgetry associated. it was priced at $1,900. Not bad. Ingon si Andre, "Kuya...that would look good in the living room..."
bitaw. i thought. i'm going to get that as their christmas present this year. it will be a good tv for them to play their new xbox one game console that they're also going to get on christmas. hehehe!
So, as we were putting things in the cart, ingon pod si andre nako, "kuya, so, are you going to leave us again, soon?" ingon ko, "yes, 'doy, going back on thursday." wa sija mo tingog. and i started to feel nostalgic for them already. so i kissed my little brother's forehead. ingon lang ko, "its okay. you can always text , call me whenever, for whatever..okay."
we got back home at around 10 pm. i cooked steamed broccoli and beef sabao for them last night.
i love them so much. and i'm glad i was able to come home to visit and spend some time with them.
andre has grown. he's now my height.
