free pan de sal

We experienced the "love thy neighbor" gesture yesterday. Ate Lelet made some pandesal and she gave us these big pieces of pandesal, sarap! Thanks Ate Lelet!

Beef Calde

My daughter and I prepared and cooked beef caldereta the other day. It's been a while since we last cooked a caldereta and hubby misses it so much. Calde is one of his favorite menu. It's good to add black olives and red bell pepper to it but I don't have at that time hehehe. I always pan fry the potato first because it adds a crispiness to it. Here's the yummy calde waiting for the sauce to be thickened...

I thought for sure that I won't have to cook for dinner but there was no left over hahaha..

chubby little one

When I was conceiving with my daughter Rylie, I used to borrow this little girl in the picture with me. She used to be so chubby and I was admiring her so much. When we visit our place in the Philippines last month, I got to see her again and I can't believe how she have grown up. S is he still cute though and the cool things is she brought me the picture of us together when she was still a baby, so we took a pic again hehehe..

You guys like my uncomb hair? lol!

Tribute to a loving Father

It's been six years since my father died and I am still wishing that he is still alive. I missed him very much especially when we had our vacation in the Philippines. We brought the kids to his graveyard when we were there. I'm sure that he's happy to see his grand children. Today is Papa's birthday and I couldn't help but to long for him. I know that I did not tell you as often as I could when you were still here on earth but God knows how much I love you! May God grant you the peace in His kingdom. I miss you!

This picture was taken when John first meet my parents and family! Papa tried very hard to talk to John, I can still remember all the words that he told my husband.

EJ's moment

We celebrated John and EJ's birthdays during our vacation in the Philippines with family and friends. When EJ got tired he just sat in front of the food and just staring at me so I was taking these photos of him. My brother Rick tried to talk to him but he just look at him hehehe...
