My cousin got married recently and the whole family was in attendance. To avoid being interrupted during the open bar, I let my niece use my camera so that she wouldn’t tug at my dress every minute begging to play with my toy. This week, I was playing with my camera and planned to empty […]
I noticed today’s date is 1.11.11. A lot of brides try to make their wedding date a unique one, so I won’t be surprise if there are a lot of weddings happening today. Slow Things Down One of my new year’s resolution was to slow it down. Most of the time I rushed thru my […]
Accidental tasty salad. Sometimes random leftovers make great meals. The week is coming to an end, which means I am trying to eat all the leftovers before cooking a whole new batch of dishes. A mish mash of flavors that surprisingly went well together. A bed of arugula and fresh spinach, tossed in Shiitake Sesame Vinaigrette. […]

I’ve learned to stream line my morning routine and I feel like I’m back to my old self and my active lifestyle. I’ve consistently made it to the gym first thing in the morning the last few weeks. Woohoo! One of the things that I’ve done to stay sane in the morning is to do […]
going to Home Depot’s workshop for kids. My 3 year old is a little too young for the workshop, so I helped him build the wooden crate and he did all the painting. He was very proud to receive his own apron and pin. spending time with my girlfriends after work Friday for […]
I was at Wholefood’s recently and while browsing the bulk bin aisle, I wanted to purchase an ingredient that I have never tried before. I saw the red quinoa and started scooping it into a bag. I’ve had quinoa before but never had the red kind. I heard it is supposed to be nuttier than […]
Food Is Art, Orange County Fair, deep fried oreos, deep fried klondike bar, summer
We had a wonderful weekend. It was finally warm enough to dip in our pool so we invited our family over to swim, eat early dinner and watch movies. I feel like this is what summer weekends are made of. The hubby had a good fishing trip and caught several large fish, so we had […]
Christmas Eve It’s our family’s tradition to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. Chris and I headed to my aunt’s house (same as last year) for our Christmas Eve party. We had traditional filipino dishes, including a whole roasted pig (lechon). After we ate, it was time to mingle and catch up with everyone at the […]
It has been a rainy weekend. I’ve stayed in doors for most part, except for trips to the gym in the morning. I love cuddling with this guy. He smells so good, you know, that intoxicating baby smell. I can’t believe a week ago he was in my sister’s tummy ready to enter the world. […]
