Wonder Woman

I received this tag from a wonder woman MOM Ate Cecille, thanks ate for considering me as one...
A lot of my colleagues and friends used to asked how I managed to finish my degree without the aid of my parents. My answer is Perseverance and Resiliency. If you set your mind in achieving your goals in life, you would be able to realize it. As long as you believe in yourself and you have faith in God, anything is possible. Now that I have two kids, their question is how do you survive being a Mom? It's a natural thing for Moms isn't it? No matter how hard it is, we would be able to pull it through because we love our children. That makes us a Wonder Woman!
Passing this tag to the Females I know who make wonders in their own little way!

Beef Calde

Since I don't want my readers to get hungry while reading my post, here's the fifth entry of my food theme for this week. It's a beef caldereta for lunch today, this is one of my hubby's favorite dish. I'm not really fond of this dish because of beef but I cook it anyway to satisfy my honey pie's craving. So here it is....

If anyone wants the recipe, just please buzz me in, i would be willing to share it to you lol..

Attention SHOPAHOLICS!

As a mom of two toddlers, I find it difficult to go to shopping malls and department stores during the colder months of the year. Getting myself and the kids bundled up to go out in the weather and battle the elements isn't really worth the risk of finding a good deal on an item. During the cold and flu season, you have to be extra careful in public places and it just isn't worth the risk. So my solution to that is shopping online. 

The advantage of online shopping is that you have the capacity to browse all the merchants by going to their websites and compare prices. But this time around, I discovered an online webbiestore that has the list of all the sale items from different store. Pretty cool eh? Shopwiki.com is a one stop shop for everything that you're looking for. You can find huge selection of products from different stores, this means the more product available, the more savings you can get right? I love to cook and kitchen gadgets are always my prospected product to buy. 

Hubby and daughter love baking so our mixer is always being used. Now its getting worn out and I am planning to get them a new stand mixer for their baking spree. I also would like to purchase a new blender for my daughter because she love making a milkshake with her dad.

Tinolang Manok

My theme for this week's post is food, so here I am again posting what I made for lunch yesterday lol. This is called Tinolang Manok (Chicken Tinola) in the Philippines. We don't have papaya here so I used sayote (Papaya squash) as substitute. I wasn't able to buy spinach in the store but it still tasted good. Spinach is the best replacement for the pepper leaves which we usually used in cooking in my country.Here's my plate with my favorite appetizer.... hot chili peppers.. dyarannnnnnn...

No left over this time, sarap kasi hehehe...

Food Exploration

We tried our luck yesterday in food hunting outside the base without a Korean with us. We went to Home Plus and had our lunch to the food court there. As I was ordering, I told the cashier that I wanted the number 11 combo of different foodie. She told me something in Korean but I did not understand her so I pointed her the combo that I want. The problem was the drink, I did not order some because I don't know what to say lol.. But anyhow, we got drinks from the other side of the food court where hubby bought the kids foods.. Here are some snaps..

looks different but they're good.. We don't even know the names of the food. There's noodles with mushy toppings, sweetened pork with veggies, fried rice with toppings too, stir fired chicken with veggies, kimchee, spicy seafood soup with noodles, cloeslaw with dumplings and pickled raddish that you eat after to freshen the breath.

Here's Rylie pre-testing her corn salad or slaw.. Hmmmnnn, am not sure about his... she also had calamris and fries. EJ love the fried rice and calamaris.. We like it so far, the spicy food made me sweat lol....After eating we let the kids played at the children play area of the mall.. We had a good day yesterday but I worked from 5-10 pm when I arrived my husband was called to report to work too and he stayed there until 1:30 (that's two nights in a row)... my poor hubby... Oh well, that's part of life.. So that's why, I wasn't able to reciprocate your visit friends.. sowi about that... I'll make it up to you promise!
