Islands in the Philippines

There is an additional island to the 7,107 islands in the Philippines.This is a part of a mountain in Subic which was made into an island to make it more pleasing to the eyes.


But do you think it's really pleasing to the eyes?

Bahay kubo

Bahay Kubo
Kahit munti
Ang halaman doon
Ay sari sari
Singkamas at talong
Sigarilyas at mani
Sitaw, bataw, patani
Gondol, patola, upo't, kalabasa
at tsaka meron pa
labanos, mustasa,
sibuyas, kamatis, bawang at luya
sa paligid-ligid ay puro linga

Breakfast

My kiddos love pinoy breakfast but since our place is quite far from the Filipino Store here in Atlanta, i have to find alternatives which are conveniently available and these are the favourite ones...
Toasted bread topped with sardines, mozzarella cheese, onion and red pepper.
My kiddos call it the "The sardines pizza"

This is oatmeal, one of my favourite too. Top with chocolate syrup and cherry, makes it more mouth-watering.

And whatever breakfast our family have, it's always perfect when it's sided with fresh fruit.


Since we all need energy to last through the day...we should always eat our breakfast. It will not only give vigour to our body but stimulates our brain to blog hehehehe. Enjoy your breakfast everyone.

Mithi



Noong ako'y musmus pa lamang, sing tayog ng punong ito ang aking mithiin. Sa tuwing akoy tatanungin ng mga nakakatanda "ano ang gusto kong maging pag laki ko", ang tanging sagot ko ay maging doctora o di kaya'y abogada. Tulad ng sagot ng ibang batang wari'y nakaguhit na sa aking kapalaran. Lumipas ang panahon, aking natanto na di pala ganon kadali makamit ang mga ito. At ng nagkaisip, samu't-saring karanasan ang aking napagdaanan na syang naging daan upang mahanap ko ang aking kapalaran.



Di man ako naging doctora o abogada, isang tunay na mithiin ang aking na-abot at patuloy na aabutin...ang maging mabuting ina....


At sa bawat araw na dumating, mithi kong lumaking mabait at mabuting tao....

...mapagmahal


... at masaya ang mga ANAK KO... Alam kong, sa tulong ng aking mahal na kabiyak ang mithiing ito'y makakamit.

Ito ang aking lahok sa temang Mithi ng Litratong Pinoy.

Red


Today is my husband's and son Josh's 4th birthday. However, since Josh’s party will still be held on Sunday at Chuck E. Cheese's, I have to prepare a simple dinner for our family to celebrate it with. A cake for hubby and Josh to blow to make a wish and Carbonara for something long that signify long life will be wonderful. So, I dug into my fridge and my pantry and I came up with a carrot cake and since the theme of LP is “RED” I thought cherry will be perfect as the garnish.





But you know, what made it so perfect???




Is seeing my son super happy.


Happy Birthday "Dad" and "Josh".

Liwaliw




Sa klase ng trabaho ng aking mahal na kabiyak, nagkaroon ang aming pamilya ng pagkakataong makita ang iba't-ibang lugar. Sa bawat paglalakbay, iba-ibang karanasan at iba't-ibang tanawin ang nasisilayan na syang nagsisilbing palatandaan sa aking isipan. Ito ang aking lahok sa paksang "Liwaliw" kung saan kakaibang kapayapaan ang aking naranasan.

Crunch






My two kids love crunchy waffle cones, so no matter what flavor i put in it, super "patok" talaga. I will try garlic ice cream next time and let's see hahaha.


And this is my favourite chocolate. Once i start eating it...it's hard to stop...
