I was in the restaurant with my husband in the countryside. It’s our first time in that area. I was just accompanying my husband who is going to interview the owner or the administrator of the hotel and resort where we were waiting. He is going to write an article about it as one of his projects for an expats newspaper.

I lost my appetite in that instance. I ordered calamansi juice with extra sweet. You know why? I learned from my mom that when I eat something and I get reaction same thing I did
