I woke up in the morning to the lingering smell of live stalk and farmland. I walked out of Teresita's small house into the fresh open air. It was foggy, moist, and I could tell it was early morning because of the thin coat of dew covering everything. There was large open farmlands spread out all over from where the eye can see. Teresita was getting ready to go to her nearby clothing store. I helped her carry her new supplies to her little business. Once we arrived, I helped her set up things in the store. We waited for customers to come buy. Since it was still early we did not sell as much compared to the later times. Teresita sold things such as skirts, aprons, and pants. After a long day of vending, we headed back to her house for dinner. She cooked a traditional Filipino dish called Chicken Adobo. This dish is basically marinated chicken. I made an appetizer called Lumpia. This dish is spring rolls filled with a variety of fresh vegetables. After dinner we talked about ourselves. I talked to her about how my family originates in the Philippines and what it is like living in America. She told me about her ancestry and how it is living in the Philippines
