Brand new day

May 9th

After our two-week-long trip visiting relatives, we were finally back home. The bed that I woke up to stay the same with no indifference.

Yet now that our trip ended, it would be hard to find materials to write about. I couldn't possibly bore you guys with what I eat every day.

And with that comes chapters without names. These chapters would also have significantly fewer chapters as it has nothing to write about.

But in the end, it all comes down to luck on whether anything happened in the day. Fortunately for today, some things did happen.

After I took another nap, my dad offered me to go watch Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness at a cinema near us.

Of course, I accepted his offer, why would I not. It was decided that we would watch it in the afternoon and have our lunch there.

After the decision was made, me and my mom suggested that my dad should take a nap before we go and watch. This was because he felt drowsy, presumably from yesterday.

Then the time had come. The time to head to the cinema. Since it was just the both of us, we saw no need to dress up and went with the casual clothing we had on.

But on our way there, trouble occurred. The application that my dad used to buy the tickets was not showing his purchase. The tickets to watch Dr. Strange.

So, as we walked toward the cinema, my dad kept on refreshing his phone. But it was to no avail. It kept on not showing his purchase. But thankfully, the email of his purchase and the code were there.

After we got our tickets printed, we planned to eat out. But when we looked at the time, the movie was coming on in ten minutes.

Not wanting to miss any scenes, we went into the studio. So, there we were, sitting idly in the studio as movie trailers play.

Lights dimmed, and the marvel intro started playing. When the intro played, my dad turned on his phone to check the time.

He found out that by the time the movie had started, we could've eaten out. Then a lady came when the intro was playing. She held out a menu. So, my dad ordered a burger with tea.

Hours go by as we spent time watching the movie. It was very hard holding it in. Especially when I did not want to miss any scenes.

After watching the movie, me and my dad went grocery shopping on the lower floor of the mall. The cinema was a few floors above it.

When we finished our shopping, the day was getting ready to turn into night. So, we walked back home after a long afternoon at the mall.

But the day wasn't over yet. After an hour or two at home, my dad received a message via WhatsApp.

It was from a family friend. Our family familiarized each other around seven years ago, back in Australia.

They were in the capital, visiting their family. So, while they were here, they asked us if we wanted to have dinner together.

We of course accepted their offer. So, we set a location that was nearby. The restaurant we went to was located on the ground level of the mall me and my dad went to in the afternoon.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the other party was not yet there. So, we went ahead and ordered a bunch of food for us and them.

As we waited for the food, me and my mom decided to look around the mall to buy me slippers. That was when I spotted the other party.

I quickly tapped my mom's shoulder, who was walking in front of me, and informed her. After spotting them, we greeted each other and accompanied them to the restaurant.

At dinner, my mom does what any mom does. She, along with the other mom was reminiscing about the time they spent back in Australia. And when they forget names, I help them remember.

After a long dinner, we parted ways. Then me and my mom resumed our search for slippers. This time, joined by my brother.

But the search didn't last long. We had given up since my brother was picky with his choice of sandals.

So, we met back up with my dad who was waiting for us in front of the restaurant. Afterward, we all walked back home. Then would, later on, rest our bodies.
