photography and music

One of the many interests that both my husband and I shared is music and photography. When I finally migrated to the States, I brought some of my favorite music CD collections. Hubby said that there are Free Sound Effects that we could find online. In fact, we bought several music videos that we love to listen to especially when travelling in the car.

Taking pictures is one of our favorite hobby. When he went to Pusan on July 15 (2008) to take a tour of the USS Ronald Reagan, he took several photos that I like. These were taken from the flightdeck of the USS Ronald Reagan, an awesome aircraft carrier in the U.S. Fleet.

The concrete used in this display onboard the USS Ronald Reagan was a piece actually removed from the Berlin Wall.....pretty cool. I am glad that I get to see some of the beautiful places of Korea. I will sure miss the place. I just wish that I could have met my husband earlier hehehe. He did not take any pictures of the places that he's been on his former assignments.

Let it Snow

When I woke up yesterday, I was bummed out to see that it was snowing because we suppose to go out with the kids but we went anyway. I am glad that my father-in-law has two extra bedroom set for us to use while we are staying at his house. We will probably transfer to our house after Christmas time or when our household goods arrive, whichever is earlier. Meanwhile we are enjoying our stay here. My father -in-law misses the kids so much so he is very happy that we are staying in his house for a little while before we transfer to our house.

I took these photos at Dad's back porch. This was just the start of snow fall yesterday. We accumulated 2-3 inches thick of snow.

It got so cold last night that I had to turn on the extra heater at our room. Right now, our weather is 29 degrees. My kids and I went to our family friend's house last night and eat some Filipino foods. They did not stay very long though because they want to go home and play with the new addition to our family, CHAMP. I took this chinese lantern when we ate at a Chinese resto yesterday.

And this sign at the entrance door.

On our way home, I spotted this red roof in a drive-thru fast food chain.

Thanks for visiting.

Thank You!

Hello everone, just a quick post to let you know that we arrived safe and sound here in the mainland. Thanks for all your prayers, warm thoughts, visits and comments. We are staying at my father in law for a while to give us time to bond with the rest of the family. We will spend our Christmas in here since our household goods will arrive by mid-January. This will give us ample time to spend with the family. Hope you guys are doing great.

Left Over food

What do you do with your left over food? Do you throw it away? When I came to the States, I've seen left over foods just being wasted. Especially after big occassions like Thanksgiving, Christmas or 4th of July Celebration. When I see the food just go bad because no one wants to eat left over anymore, I feel really guilty inside. I always think about the street children in the Philippines where they have to sell Sampaguita, rugs or newspaper just so they can help their family to raise money for food..

As part of the Filipino culture and tradition, food is very important and we never throw left overs. I carried that practice even now that I am married. I see to it that the food I am cooking is just enough for us. There are times that we have left over but I never threw them. We always eat it the next day, after all some LOs are better tasting when it sets for a day. 

The other day I made a beef roast but we didn't able to eat it all, so what I did is I made a vegetable soup out of it. I just added some frozen veggies (fresh veggies is better) and tadahhhh masarap na ulam na for lunch..

Some left overs that I always used forsecond cooking is adobong baboy, I always uses it as sahog in pansit... Yummmmyummmyyy!

This is our dessert for today.. Sweet rice or malagkit.. Do you guys want some?

Eyeglasses for Rylie

We will be flying on Wednesday folks and our internet connection will be unplugged tomorrow, so I am leaving you something to enjoy. We were eating at our favorite Korean resto last week when Rylie decided to try on my eyeglasses.

We have connecting flights from Korea to Japan, Japan to Detroit, Detroit to Pittsburgh, then we have to drive one hour from Pittsburgh to West Virginia wahhh. This will be an ardous one.
