1. Philippine Week 6

2. Welcome back to Silver Bend! We’re on
update number three for SimNaWriMo on
Boolprop with the Philippine family. Marylena
is at the head of the table. Asko and Serena
on her right. Nelly and Clarence on her left.

3. Like the Sugar house the dinner table was
the center of the household for the
Philippines too.
“You got any big plans this week, dear?”
Marylena asked.
“I have something in mind.” Clarence said.

4. Marylena hoped Clarence’s plans included
buying a car this season. The helicopter she
took to work was so loud.

5. There was a new group of stray dogs coming
into Silver Bend. Just as cute as could be.

6. “A, A, A, B” Asko sighed, that test was hard.
He should have done his homework.

7. Brock Nott came home with him. Marylena
let them play video games instead of doing
homework.
“Oh man I suck at this.” Brock said.
“Come on Brock, you can do better.”

8. Clarence came home with a promotion. It
was easy to get promotion when your wife
was the head of the company.

9. “I have this many siblings.” Brock bragged.
“Wow, I only two sisters!”

10. “Daddy dance with me!” Nelly begged.
“Of course.” Clarence agreed.
“You two.” Marylena laughed.

11. Clarence still liked to spend time looking at
the stars. Talin and Ben had both been
abducted by aliens. He wasn’t a logic sim,
but it sounded like fun.

12. “Oh shoot, I was going to ask someone to
come home with us.”
“That’s alright Serena, we can play don’t
wake the llama.”
“Yeah I guess.”

13. “Hey Dana Shae, wanna talk?”
“Sure Serena!”
Don’t wake the llama was fun, but Serena
wanted to talk to someone other than her
sister.

14. Marylena came home from work with a big
bonus. She really should get a car.

15. Marylena came home just in time to meet
some new neighbors.
“I’m Ivysaur, but just call me Ivy.”
“Marylena, my husband knows yours. Want
to come inside for a bit?”
“Sure.”

16. “Play something lively, Asko.” Nelly asked.
“But I want to play Titanic.” Asko said, but he
played something for his little sister anyways.

17. Tonight was he birthday, the last time he and
his sisters were both little together.
“Make a wish Asko!” Marylena cheered.

18. “I wish for new clothes.” Asko said, green
polos were not for him. He wanted to be
popular and have lots of friends. At least
20.

19. A stop to Silver Bend Shops was in order for
clothes and groceries.

20. After the shops, Clarence took Asko to their
Flower Garden.

21. Some tiding up was needed before opening.
“Dad did you have to plant so many things?”
“It’s the Flower Garden, not Just a few
Shrubs.”

22. “Seriously Dad, I think there’s plenty of
flowers here.”

23. Clarence put Asko on sales. The
easiest skill to learn.
“Aren’t these flowers lovely?” Asko
pressed Mia. “They would be
perfect to decorate your house
with.”
“Well I haven’t built my house yet,
but I’ll take them anyways.”

24. “This place is really coming along. Best of
the Best award!”

25. “Come on, I know you’re out there.”

26. “Hey, Neal, long time no see.”
“It’s just been a couple of days.” Neal
laughed.
“Why don’t you come inside for a bit?”
“Sure.”

27. “How are the kids doing?” Neal asked.
“Asko’s birthday was last night. It’s strange
having a teenager. He was a big help at the
shop.”
“I figured he would be.” Neal nodded. “Those
girls of ours are getting big too.”

28. Asko brought Alice Clitheroe home from school with him. So
many new friends to be made in high school.
“Did you here about those Pokemon kids, they’re going to the
college soon!” Alice said excitedly, “I can’t wait to go.”
“I just got to high school, I think I need to take one step at a
time.”

29. “Where’s everyone else?” Clarence asked.
Nelly was the only one to come down for
dinner.
“I dunno, it’s grilled cheese a lunchtime
food?”
“It can be dinner food too.” Clarence said, “Or
a breakfast food.”

30. Asko used the computer to chat online with
his new friends at the high school.

31. Alice brought over a gift after an outing with
Asko. Her family didn’t have a lot of money,
but she found something awesome on sale.

32. Asko wasn’t tired, so he spent the night
studying for college. Despite his
conversation with Alice, he knew college
would come quickly.

33. Clarence was busy skilling the next day. He
needed logic skills for his next promotion.
There was limits to what Marylena could do.

34. Asko asked Julie Diem home from school that
day. There had been an instant connection
between them.

35. “Shouldn’t we take it a little slower?” Asko
asked.
“Do you want to take it slow?” She asked
tilting her head.

36. “Not really.” Asko gathered up his courage and
planted his lips on hers.
“Ummph!” She gasped before kissing back.

37. Clarence got the logic he needed. Now it
was time to practice for the morning’s board
meeting. He had all the projections, now he
just needed to sell it.

38. “Hey Alice you’ll never guess who went on a
date with me!” Asko couldn’t wait to tell his
best friend.

39. Marylena finally had a day off. It was
strangely quiet. All the kids were in school
and Clarence had his board meeting.

40. Vamsi had left her sewing machine. This
couldn’t be too hard.

41. They were the first family to hire a maid.
Lucy Hanby would be coming to clean their
house everyday.

42. Julie was becoming a regular visitor at the
Philippine house.

43. He still had time to play with his little sisters.

44. “Hey Julie, my parents are asleep, come get
me!”

45. His heart was pounding, this was the first
time he had ever done anything like this.

46. Unfortunately for him, Officer Dorian caught
him and Julie at Star Gazing Park.

47. Luckily for him, his parents had no idea about
his night’s adventure.

48. It was Reno Day at last and the house was due
for a decent renovation.

49. The focus was the upstairs room. Clarence
and Marylena turned into the ultimate family
room. They could all watch TV or play games
together.

50. They had enough left over money to put
Clarence’s plans for the week into action. He
bought the unbuilt park on the beach.

51. It was a business the whole family to run
together.

52. They focused on the greenery, with plans to
add more in later. Playground equipment
maybe someplace to grill food.

53. The reporter was one of the first guests to
the lot. She was eager to write in the paper
about the new park.

54. “What a pretty pond.” She said.
“Daddy and Asko built it!” Serena bragged.
“We planted the flowers with Momma.”Nelly
added pointing to the flowers behind them.

55. “Is it wrong to relax while the kids manage
the tickets?” Marylena sighed in contentment.
“Nah, we’ve done our work.”

56. Back home Serena and Nelly did their hours
of studying for college.

57. Clarence stocked the fish tank upstairs. Now
they just had to remember to feed them. He
glanced over at Neal and Vamsi’s room. It
was kind of strange to have a small
household.

58. Asko spotted Aleece Diem walking down the
street.
“Hey you wanted to play Rock, Paper,
Scissors?”
“You’re on!” She agreed.

59. That night it was the twins’ birthdays.
“You go first Nelly!”
“Okay!”

60. Nelly grew up into a popularity/grilled cheese
sim. She wanted to be a media magnate and
run Silver Bend’s newspaper.

61. Serena changed into a new outfit in her
brother’s room. She was a
romance/popularity sim. She wanted to be a
professional party guest.

62. Asko took his turn at the easel. It was hard
competing with Nelly for it.

63. Someone left a outing gift on the porch for
Asko. He added it to his inventory with the
dance sphere.

64. “Pancakes for dinner?” Asko asked his
parents.
“It’s called brenner.” Marylena grinned.

65. It was no surprise that Clarence invited the
Sugar family over from Family Sunday.

66. “Hi Honey, we’re finally both in high school.”
Serena said.
“I know isn’t it exciting!”

67. “Yeah, it’s very exciting.” Serena smiled,
grabbing Honey’s hands.

68. “Hard to believe they’re all growing up so fast.” Marylena
said carefully placing her piece.
“I know, next thing we know they’ll be going off to
college.” Stephan laughed.
“Oh, don’t you start on college, I’m going to be worried
sick.” Gabie sighed.
“They’ll be okay Gabie.” Clarence said patting her hand.

69. “Oh no, what do I do? What do I do?” Serena
shouted. A late afternoon storm caught the
tree on fire and it was so close to the house.

70. Luckily for Serena the rain put out the fire.
“Oh Honey I saw my life flash before my
eyes.” Serena gasped, “I thought I was going
to die without getting my first kiss.”
“That would be awful!” Honey gasped.
“I know, let’s fix that right now!” Serena said
brightly.

71. “That was nice Serena.” Honey said kissing
her again, “I’ll see you at school!”
“See you at school!”

72. “Hi Squirtle! What are you doing here?”
“Just taking a walk, it’s really pretty around
here. None of Verde Valley has any
landscaping yet.”
“Have dinner with us!”

73. Dinner was a crowded affair with family and
all their friends.

74. “Hey Julie, wanted to head to the park for an
outing?”
“Sure I’ll meet you there!”

75. “This isn’t exactly what I meant…” Asko
sighed, “You brought your dad along?”
“Well you should’ve said date.” Julie
shrugged.

76. “I’ll forgive you.”
“I won’t bring Dad again, I promise!”

77. “Hey, Asko, could you play something
peaceful?”
“Sure.” Asko said bridging over to Mozart.

80. Third update done! Another
update complete, only seven left

grow up together. I can’t wait
until these kids start going to
college and start having families of
their own.
The Tomyoy house is next 
