Bringing back “that” time…

I am really puzzled of your actions. Why you are acting so strangely and so peculiar.

These past few days you like a bomb just waiting for the “time” to explode. Can you blame us to be distant towards you? Of course not you are acting as if the whole world drop on top of your shoulders.

Keep this in mind you are not the only one struggling. We are in this together. If you are struggling, don’t you we are struggling more.

I just hope that you will come to realize that we are having a hard time connecting with you. A simple nice dinner this past days turns ugly and silent. Now that is not the dinner we always have.

We always look forward of going out and having fun with each other and now I am even having second thoughts of going out and grab coffee. I am having second thoughts and fear that going out will turn out to be a dreadful one. Can we bring that kind of dinner?lunch?breakfast?or simple outing back?

Blue

This year it’s shades of blues with silvers and frosted whites. We had a hard time deciding of what color we wanted.

3 against 1 blue it is!!!

And we are not yet done…..

 

In the kitchen

She is vibrant 10 year old girl and my only girl. She loves to help out and be in the kitchen and be my assistant. When I am baking you will definitely see her across the table/counter with me. She diligently goes over the ingredients a couple of times to make sure everything is set and lines them up accordingly.

She loves to go too culinary school. We sent her to this Junior Chef class and she fell in love with it. Unfortunately, she is too big (age wise) for the next class and too young to fit in.

She hasn’t lose hope that one day she will be like her Uncle Chef Mark.

Inset picture: She made the Ube Halaya from scratch. I was just there to make sure she doesn’t get burn and turn on and off the stove.

Kids loves to be with Kuya. He is my first born and my only boy. When kids, who knows Kuya they go gaga when he is around. At 16, he still loves to play and cares for his sister and cousins and neighbor kids dearly.

He also loves to cooked and my loyal helper. He is my extra hands when I need one. He helps chopped, sliced and cleaned up when I am in the kitchen. When I start cooking or baking you will see that the kitchen get crowded easily.

Sometimes I run out of idea who will helped me with what because they already are doing what I was gonna tell them.

He asked a lot of questions when it comes too cooking. He wants to be nurse like her Tita Joan. I hope that he will pursue and finish nursing for I am backing him up all the way.

Inset pictures: Showed him how to sliced it and the rest is history.

One more thing or two. When they are in the kitchen it’s a riot and no one seems to be liking in cleaning up the mess and washing things. Just a thought that I always ended being the human dishwasher…

Enough and Thankful

This year’s Halloween 2009 we all dressed up. Oh yes and that includes ME. For my kids fervent requests for how many years I granted their wished for this year. Now I understand why people of all walks in life loved to dressed up during this once in a year celebration.

It was fun but at the same time I felt uncomfortable and hot. I guess I need to pick a costume that is comfortable and less fabric…*wink*.

This year we went green for some of our costumes and surely we saved a whole bunch. We partied and trick or treated while at the same time having so much fun with each other’s company.

Next year we shall repeated and I might wear a costume again, we’ll see…

We surely had more than enough candies and thankful for a wonderful time and weather.

Got chocolates?

Happy Halloween!!!
