It's only 5:00 AM and I'm already awake. I had my usual hot brewed coffee and this time not with toasted bread with butter rather I had a piece of pumpkin cake to go with coffee. I baked the pumpkin cake the other day when I was not busy from blogging. I should have bake pumpkin pie but I hate rolling the dough for the pastry and some other che-che bureche that goes with making pies. Besides the pumpkin is not enough. I bought a small pumpkin from Walmart and thought I will use it for the "ginataang crabs." Well I did cooked the pumpkin using just barely half of it for creamy coconut milk enhanced crabs. I should have waited for the next crabbing and have at least 4 crabs to go into the casserole and have a fiesta of sort.
My husband's been lucky catching plenty of crabs lately. Unlike last year when they cannot catch any. Every time he lifted the crab traps there is nothing inside but the bait was already eaten. Guess what ... turned out there are thieves who were stealing the crabs before he and my brother-in law arrive at the scene. The thieves probably saw the floating red-orange buoys, eye-catching buoys, then lifted the crab traps and got away with the crabs . For once, this year they caught a boater eyeing their buoys and moved away from the area zone right immediately when they're coming from behind as they sped up their boat towards where their crab traps are located and right there they knew the crabs were about to be stolen. Tell-tale signs.
So let's go back to why I'm that early too early to be awake. I slept really good last night at about past 10 PM it was bedtime for me. Then I woke up at 4 PM then went back to sleep again. Then heard my son jumping from his room. WTH! Is he doing exercises? Calisthenics? Dancing? At very early morning? Waking up early reminds me of my childhood back in the barracks where & when I can hear the loud noise of those military soldiers marching in and then the loud yelling of the command being replied to by the soldiers in 1, 2, 3,4...1,2,3,4 )))))) forward -----> march!!!!!!!!!!!!)))))) being echoed throughout the field outside as if there's no tomorrow non-stop and the noise have to force me out of my bed and that's end of the dawn then here comes Mutley our favorite pet, our dog who wags his tail and kissed us, my sister and brothers... on our face endlessly saying he is also awake. Mutley can talk? Ha ha ha! I can read minds. Followed by the motion of our Father who knocked the wall and door of our bedroom to wake us up after he cooked our breakfast. I usually had my early morning warm shower. And fortunately during those times we had a shower and we have so much water running through the faucet, to the kitchen tap. Well those were the time. Unforgettable moments of my childhood.
