Dust is one of the main cause that triggered my allergic rhinitis. That's why I always wear facemask eveytime I do the cleaning coz I easily get sneeze continously when I inhaled dust particles. And to help me maintain the cleanliness of our room and free from dust as much as possible, I ordered this cutie desktop vacuum cleaner. This tool is for my son. He wants to help me clean so this one is perfect for him.😊 All he needs to do is clean his study area before or after his…

Art Output Right after the online class has finished, my son showed to me his drawing. Then I said it's good and asked what's about with that drawing.. He said that's it's about the quote that is written on their reward of color pencil that was given during their virtual recognition. The theme was 'Whatever I have is a gift of God, how I use it is my gift to God. ' So using those color pencils, this what he thought to draw.. A child with microphone singing on stage. He's…

Nothing compares the simple joys we experience during younger days. And now I'm sharing some of our old habits to my son. Earlier when we're having s snack which is the 'cheese ring' I suddenly remember how we use to eat this snack.

He smiled and excited, then he answered 'Yes' Then I thought him that we're putting those cheese rings in our fingers just like a ring…
Since yesterday even though the weather is sunny you can't feel so much heat. The wind that blows through the window is cold. That's why after I took a bath I was able to get my short sleep even without turning on the fan or ac. I just open the windows and let the cool breeze come in. ( Sa wakas nabahagian din ng konting lamig ang Metro Manila, makakatipid na sa electric bill😊) Time to have some snack. I have here a slice of eggpie and ice cold coffee even it's cold today😊.…
Petroleum jelly for lips When the weather is cold and windy you'll notice that your lips can easily get dry or chapped. And this is the time that I oftenly use petroleum jelly. It's to moisturize and soften my lips. I've been doin' this for a long time and and it's really effective in soothing lips. This is good and inexpensive alternative for lip balm. And this is how I applied it for a better result: after brushing the teeth brush also your lips then later apply the…
Having a good time.. It was really an entertaining night for us coz of Spongebob squarepants. Lately my son is fond in watching the all time favorite animated series, spongebob squarepants. Most of the time he was smiling and laughing. And for every beginning of the episode, he is singing the theme song and asked me to participate also. I'm the one to answer the 'all' part, 'aye aye captain and spongebob squarepants.' I even screenshot the lyrics and we practice it many…
Good evening.. I was just about to eat my dinner coz I've fallen asleep after I cook our food for tonight. When I wake up, my son showed me these figures that he build from his magnetic toys. And he asked me to take photo of these castle and heart figure together with him. I said, "Why you didn't wake me up to eat?" Then he answered, "I don't want to distrurb you from your sleep coz you're tired and I just play here quitely, coz you might get angry when I'm loud"😊 Haha, when…
Ampalaya no more Last week we decided to removed the bitter gourd plant in this area. It was planted for about 3 months and we have already harvest lots of fruits and leaves that we use in cooking. Not only us, but we shared it to neighbors too. It started to dry and no longer blooming so as much as we want it to live I think it's life cannot last for a long period anymore. Gonna wait for another season and plant again. For now, we replace it with another flowering plants…

Got it perfect Compare to my previously made steamed cheese pancakes, this one is perfect for me. I like the appearance and the square cut cheese on top. I just follow the tutorial that I'm watching, to put the cheese when it's about to cook in 8-10 minutes. Applicable for eden cheese only, coz it's different when you're using other brand like 'O.k' or Quez-O, they don't get melt easily. By the way, this is made by pancake mix as what I'm usually doing so it's easy to…
My bike buddy This is the first time that he ride with me on my bike. At first he was hesitant but I said childrens are now allowed to go outside then he got excited. We just make a stroll in the nearby barangays and he was so happy to feel the breeze. I enjoy driving too except for the uphill part. He has to go down first coz he's heavy and I can't make it.. After a few minutes of ride, we went also to Mercury drug store to buy our vitamins and have some snacks. Knowing my…
Today I got a chance to enter S&R again after a long time. Thanks to my friend who is a member and asked for my company. She's allowed to bring one non-member, so I'm her guest for today. There's a lot of good products here and gift ideas for Christmas but I find it expensive so I only bought 'Honey Citron Ginger Tea'😊. This is beneficial for me so it's okey for the price of 274 pesos, unlike when you buy online, it's almost double the price. I'm a fan of our own version of…

Fruity Smoothie During this season, fruits are everywhere again here in our market so I thought of making smoothie. And since my child rarely eat fruits alone so this blended one is good for him. My smoothie is a combination of bananas, apples, cucumber, carrot and grapes. It's too many so I made two sets. For it to be still kid friendly smoothie I added milk and honey then cold water. My son enjoys it but I find it too sweet hehe, yet it's really delicious and nutritious.…
Still life drawing After our review from other subjects, he practice to draw for his art practical exam tomorrow. This is about a 'still life drawing' and the model is an inanimate object which is 'fruits in a basket'. Good thing I still have some bananas left from yesterday's smoothie, I just added apples and lemons. And as for the basket, it should be round & an ethnic or native made, and I had a hard time searching for it in the market. Can't find in any store coz they…

Smiley Friday🙂 Found these doll pencils from my stuffs last night. These were really cute with smiley face and kinda motivating to smile despite some bad things happening to us. I remember I use these kind of pencil when I'm in grade school. Through spring, the doll is dancing while you are writing or scketching. When I bought these from store, I just thought of keeping it or give as a present someday. And yeah, I'm giving these to my friend's daughter in province. She's in…
My little santa It's their second year without a physical Christmas party in school but still they enjoyed even it's a virtual celebration. My little one is wearing a santa hat and guess what, he's also wearing my polo shirt☺.. He wants to wear a red shirt to partner with his hat but none of his polo shirts fits on him anymore. So it's okey to use mine coz it's just a plain one. Though it's just a short period celebration, he's happy coz they won in 'bring me' games and they…

This is one of my favorite spot while having a coffee in the morning here in our house. Enjoying the morning view and waiting for the sun to show up but I think no sunshine today coz of slight rain. There were many birds chirping and the rooster keeps crowing. Oh I miss these sounds.😊 As usual, people here woke up so early to finish their activities ahead of time. But my parents attend first their 5th 'Misa de Gallo'.. They do not skip and completed the nine days every year.…
Just a curious child.. We went from the vegetable garden just behind our house, and this child keeps looking for every plant. He's asking me what are the names of those vegetables. There are planted papaya, sweet potato, cassava plant, string beans, chilli pepper and eggplant. Tomorrow he'll be back again with his grandma to harvest then sell it. And now he started to learn eating vegetables too.😊
Goodbye to our Acacia Tree This is just one of the oldest Acacia tree in our backyard. It's already four decades old, and today those old trees are schedule to cut. My father have decided let go of them for safety purpose because during the strong typhoon the branches of the trees hits the roof and they are afraid that the whole tree might fall too. Our acacia trees has been the source of firewoods for a long time and for other purposes like supports to vegetables. But no…
Whoa, It's a wonderful night with this full moon. It's clearly seen from our terrace. I was watching inside when my son hurriedly call me just show the moon and to take photos of it. He was also amazed coz it's big and bright. There are also many stars in sky and we're watching it right now. I remember during childhood, everytime we attend an evening mass or simbang gabi we always look at he sky and also amazed by its beauty. With innocent mind that time, we're wonderin' why…
Early to bed, early to rise is real and my body feels lighter as I wake up early this morning. The weather is perfectly fine today. It's sunny and a little windy. We're done with our morning tasks.

He's enjoying his new experience, and he's happy coz the wind is cold even it's sunny. It really felt good to breathe fresh air in the…
Good morning.. It's unusual for me to cook early this morning but since I go to bed too early last night then it's just fine. As soon as my parents left going to church, I prepare all my ingredients for my 'Steamed puto pancake'. These includes 500g pancake mix, 1 evaporated milk, 1 condensed milk, 4 pieces eggs and cheese for toppings. This is the first time that my parents will taste my 'puto'.. My mother even doubted me and ask 'Are you sure it's gonna be delicious?'☺…
So as expected, my mother was amazed with my 'cheesy puto pancake' 😊 (she thought I can't cook) She even requested to cook more tomorrow coz I have brought only 500g. She asked my father to buy another 1kg pancake mix.😊 As they got home from the church we had coffee and eat these puto as breakfast. Then she also cook chicken arrozcaldo which is also my request last night coz I miss to eat this and haven't tried cooking it yet so I watch her how she do it. It's our 5th day on…
Just another old game has been introduce to my son. It's called 'Mikado or Pick up Sticks' The last time that I played this is during my childhood. We use the other type that time which is the colorful wooden & plastick pick up sticks. This one has different design but also has a designated value each stick where you base the calculating of score. There is also a master stick, the one in spiral design. This is the only stick that can be use to pick up another stick. It's…
Free charcoals for grilling and cooking.. We have a lot of firewood here so no need to buy charcoals, just burn some firewoods then it's ready for cooking.

My son have love these since we came here, so everyday we always grilled fish then dip in 'toyo calamansi' sauce. Vegetables dishes are also paired with…
It's around 5 o'clock when we go to the rice field just behind the house and vegetable garden. The ambiance is pretty cool here that's why we had a little walk. And I never thought that the mobile data signal is a lot better here than on the house spot. Rice field, clear sky with flying birds, Mount Arayat and the sun that setting down. This is a perfect and relaxing view for me. How I wish I can witness this everyday. We just wait until the sun has finally disappear then we…

A beautiful sunrise that's welcoming another brand new day! The sun is so bright today and I'm done soaking myself at our terrace while playing music.

Then we hide to see if the mother bird will get them. And yes the mother came back and transfer her babies to another nest…
Harvesting of rice here is now more easier with this modern rice harvester machine. Before, when my father used to work in the farm, they do cut the rice crop manually using a sickle. Imagine how difficult it is working under the heat of the sun. And it took them 2-3 days before they finish harvesting a hectares of ripe rice crops. I just learned today when we saw this machine on the rice field that the farmers here already using this rice harvester instead of manual labor.…
