A place that made a very big impact on my life was my Grandma's house. My Grandma's name was Rose Corpuz. She took care of me alot when i was growing up from when i was a tiny little baby until this day. She has past away a year ago but she still lives deep inside of me. I learned a lot from living at my Grandma's house. From when i was little she would gently wash my puny body almost everyday. I still remember every single step she would do to give me a bath. My cousins also lived with my Grandma which brought all of us really close. Our relationships grew a great deal over the years.
We used to always go to the beach together as a big family and come home happy every week. Living at my Grandma's house showed me a new side to life in many ways. I spent many tears there as well. I also had some of the most fun I ever had there to. A lot of my childhood was at my Grandma's house, that is why being there made a big impact in my life and brought me to who I am now.

Journal #9
The novel i am ready is Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers. It relates to me because my family speaks pidgin every single day of my life. My family's ethnic group is full Filipino meaning that its in our blood to speak pidgin. I do not think that speaking pidgin is a bad thing if you are able to turn it on and off at the right times. I am a little bit of Japanese so i guess i could relate to Lovey in some sort of way. The party's Lovey's family have are like my family's parties but the Filipino version.

DRAFT
As i step foot into my Grandpa's house, I can already smell the familiar distinct smell of chicken adobo. As I am walking in I think to myself, " I remember that smell, and I think it is chicken adobo." The kitchen is the first room that you would walk into as you walk into the house. The moment I pass the stove I can feel the heavy heat on the skin of my face and arms. I see my Dad stirring something in a big pot and I start to wonder what it is.
I peaked my face over the pot and inhaled deeply through my nose. I did not even have to look down at the pot to know that he was cooking my favorite dish, chicken adobo. While I am peaking over the pot, my Dad tells me "I know that this is your favorite food aah boy." I think to myself, I cannot wait until I can finally grab some rice and chicken adobo and sit down and eat!" The first question i always ask when someone is cooking food is " How long will it take until the food is ready because i am very hungry?"
My Dad would respond saying " Almost, just hold on and I will call you when it's done." So I would either go outside and socialize with my family, or go inside and sit back and watch TV until the food was ready. While i am sitting in the living room watching TV, I can still smell the aroma of chicken adobo flowing though the living room into all the rooms in the house. Still waiting for the food to be ready, I am in a traumatized state, having to wait for the food for so long. I finally go to the kitchen one last time to see how things are going and I ask "do you need any help cooking the food?"
My Dad reply's saying " No need boy, I'm already done cooking, your to late." From that comment he just gave me i assume hes already done cooking. Finally I can eat some rice and chicken adobo to satisfy my hunger!
