Rootbeer

Rootbeer triggers something in my memory.

Every summer, when I was still in grade school, even if we had already moved here in Novaliches, we would go to Butuan City, then to Cebu for vacation/reunion.

There was this one summer where my Uncle Jun and Aunt Bella took all of us to this fancy restaurant in Cebu. They told us to order any beverage we like. I chose Iced Tea, and my brother Nico ordered Rootbeer. My cousins were sitting beside me, and she said "Wow iced tea". I didn't know at first why she said that, but then my Aunt asked me, "Iyan ba talaga ang gusto mo, Ren?". I said, "Opo". my Uncle Jun said, "Eh yan ang gusto nya eh hayaan mo sya." my Aunt Bella asked my Mom, "Lagi ba siyang umiinom ng Iced Tea? pati si Nico ng Rootbeer?" my Mom answered, "Oo, mahilig talaga si Kharenne dyan kasi laging may Nestea sa bahay".

Big deal, right?

At that time, I kept thinking "Was it wrong to ask for Iced Tea or Rootbeer? Is it bad for us?".

Maybe This is way my Uncles and Aunts think I'm spoiled....
