A dragonfly is in the house..
My son is really happy to see a dragonfly again. He thought this little creature misses him coz he catch many of these when he was still in the province.
But today while I was hanging clothes at the terrace, we saw this one landed on a hanger. And it seems friendly and not difficult to catch. So my son play with it and set free again, but not outside, it's inside our house and landed on my green curtain, thought it's a real green rose ☺He's still enjoying to see it and wanted to pet.
But it might not live here for a longer period so tomorrow we will let it go outside again.
Lego toaster
Just because he misses my toasted breads and frenchtoasts, my son came up with this idea from his legos. He's truly creative in making different figures and built this lego toaster. He even instructed me how to operate it. hehe. There, the 2 slices of bread are now toasted☺
And because of this, I've got also an idea on what to prepare for him on the following days. But I will not use a bread toaster coz I don't have it☺ A frying pan is enough for me to make a toast or frenchtoast.😊
I switch to swift..
One of my son's favorite food is burger steak in jollibee. And since I love exploring in the kitchen I just thought of cooking a homemade burger steak.😊
I discovered a new brand of burger patties. It's 'swift' better than the cdo ulam burger. It's more meaty and tasty than the other brands. My son said it's like the burger in jollibee so he enjoys eating it.
And for the gravy sauce, I watched first in youtube how to make it hehe, and I'm glad that the result is perfect. No mushroom coz my son don't like it. It's just made of butter, flour, beef cube, water, soy sauce, pepper and garlic powder.
I also love how it taste. And for sure I'll cook it again next time but will pair with a fried chicken.😊
Snowball is feeling beautiful with her scarf😻
I removed her old green colar and haven't replace it yet to a new one. Then my son thought of making a colar for her temporarily which is just made of a scrap cloth. And it looks good in the picture. Snowball seems love it too coz she's feeling beautiful in front of the camera😊..
And she's still indeed a beautiful momma cat and she never fails to makes us smile always. My son love to play with her too.
Meeow evening from our lovely cat to yours😻😻😻
My special champorado with 3 toppings😊
Because my in-laws gave me a cacao chocolates which is from Bicol province, I thought of cooking champorado right away. You know this cacao chocolates is popular in making champorado coz for me it enhance the taste of it compare to other powdered chocolate.
And for a change, look I've made it a little bit special by putting a milk powder, milo and cacao ball for toppings. My first time to try this and my son and I both love it.. Looks and taste delicious😋😊
What's your fave champorado toppings?..
Are you one of those soup lovers?!
Here's a creamy sopas for you..😊 It's cooked in our office and a free snack from the boss. Well even if it's not too cold today, they still prefer to sip a warm soup.
I love it too coz it's creamy, but wasn't able to eat a lot coz I'll gonna make it 'shawi' 😅 for take out nalang😅
Good thing I have my leak proof lunchbox with me.😊
On relax mode now, waiting for time out😊
Kumusta noisemate?! Mahilig ka din ba sa sopas?
Back to lego creations
Vacation with his cousin is over and they've separated yesterday. My niece is back to Laguna and my son is now with us in the city. He's still has sepanx soI let him do what he wants in order not to get bore and miss his 'ate'..
And I'm glad that he's back to playing his legos. And here, he showed me his latest creation, the 'lego sunglasses'.. Isn't it cute? Actually I was surprised with this and I love it. Such a creative one.😊
Another homemade burgers for our snacks..
I've arrived at my parents home this morning and I'll have my 4 days vacation til we travelled back with the kids. So instead of buying burgers from fastfood as my 'pasalubong' I told them that I'll just made our own burgers to satisfied them more😊
So here, I just bought an extra big buns, burger patties, cheese, mayo-ketchup, and lettuce to make this yummy burger. Oh by the way the other 2 doesn't have lettuce coz my niece don't like it. I just doubled the patties for her.
And yeah, we enjoyed eating these burgers while these kids are busy with their cellphones, me and my mother also enjoyed watching volleyball while eating. My mother is cheering for Creamline, and yes they won from Army..😊
Can you decode the message written below? If yes, then you're a 90's kids😊
I found an old planner of mine and I'm thinking what plans to write in here but my thoughts came to these childhood alphabets and the 'G' words that we used to speak.
I remember when we're making a friendly letters we write it with this texts. And it's really fun to write and read it.😊
Then 'G' words also came in. At first I was annoyed when someone is speaking this way 'gagagaga' but then I found it also fun since my friends and my sister use this language.😊
Enjoying the remaining week
Their vacation together is nearly over so they were enjoying the remaining week coz next Sunday I'm gonna pick them up.
The weather is fine today so they went to field and catch some dragonflies. Oh I use to do that also during childhood. But these kids are smart, they use an empty botted water to easily catch them and they got many little dragonflies.
They had fun and later they will also let them go and fly again.
Another good memories for them..
A whole day rainshowers
It started early this morning and until now we're experiencing heavy downpour here in Metro Manila and my father also sent a picture of heavy rain in their place.. It's too cold today and look at our glass window, it got moist.
I love this kind of cold weather especially i'm just home today and I have enjoyed movie time in my bed. I finished watching 'Gray Man' in Netflix. I'm just curious why it's still on top lists of films for a couple of days now that's why I watched it, and yeah it didn't disappoint me coz it's full of action..
I wasn't able to have my afternoon nap coz I drink coffee I think every after 3 hours haha☕☺
Sinigang na tilapia in guavas
I suddenly miss this dish. My father send me this pictures coz it their food tonight with the kids. Almost everyday there are ripe guavas from our tree so they use it to cook soup dish. And it's sinigang na tilapia sa bayabas. Have you evwr tried this dish?
Not everybody may like its taste coz they don't like guavas in soup, but you might wanna try it sometimes coz it's really delicious. It's not that sour as a souring ingredient in sinigang but the flavor is tasty when it blended with the fish..
I like to cook ripe guavas in milkfish more than with tilapia. Others prefer also the pork ribs in guavas.
Can't wait to visit there again next week and will brought lot of guavas☺
Bike light replacement
Finally my new bicycle light has delivered and I had to replaced it right away. Look at the old one it's already broken and I just fix it with electrical tape. And who's the culprit? None other than our cats who loves to climb in my bike☺
Actually when it rain last time, it got wet inside and the horn malfunction. I just opened it and dry the board so it will still work. And yeah it's fine now but I still have to get a new one coz I'll transfer the old to my mini bike which is for my son's use.
And I love this new one coz the design is color green😊💚
Coins for payment
This month I have decided not to cash-in , deposit or exchange the coins that I collected from our piso wifi vendo. I just sorted and packed them and got the total of more than 3,000 pesos for this month sales.
I don't have the plan of keeping them also in a piggy bank but will utilized as payment instead. I used my 1 peso coins in purchasing tray of eggs and now I bought 100-peso 2 packs of 'sisig' in the market. The vendors like it when I pay with coins coz they said they needed it especially when giving change to their customers.
I still have my packs of 5 pesos and 10 pesos. The 5 were reserved for payment in our gas stove and others are for purchase again some food in the market or small stores. So that's how I decided to utilized our coins and use as allowance instead of depositing😊
Home service barber
My son have his haircut done for the first time at home. In my parents place, there is no need to go to barber shop if you want to have a haircut, especially to boys. There is a roving barber or you can call him anytime for the service.
And there he goes, my son is good-looking again😊.
And while he's having a haircut, I was talking with my father in the phone and we both felt the eafthquake.
Thank God it didn't last long.
Praying for those who are affected to be safe.
Have you felt it too? Keep safe..
Plants beside the road..
Everytime I passes by on this street I always notice these plants in that plant box on the side. It was just supposed to be an empty space or the government may have another plant to be place there.
But right after the construction of that wall, people living in front of that road make used of that space in planting different kinds of plants and I have witnessed how they grow.
Those plants were mostly includes vegetables like okra, sweet potatoes, papayas and eggplant which can easily grow so they can have those for food.
Well, I just hope that they can still utilized that space and as long as their plants can't be a disctraction to the road I think they will not be asked to remove those.
Snowball wants to escape...
There she is, this cat keeps meowing as if asking me to open the door. But of course I didn't open it hehe, She'll hang out with the gang again and will come back maybe tomorrow morning.
She even request a back up, her kitten hehe. But no, no, they're not both allowed to go out.
I just watched her crying, then she get tired and moved away from the front door. Maybe she's looking other way to escape haha..
Happy #caturday from mamacat Snowball and Grayvee the kitten..
Mall store vs. Online purchase
Last time my sister asked me to buy a new phone for her daughter. Unfortunately the brandnew phone doesn't have a freebies of case anymore. I only got a headset.
And before I handed it over to my niece it should have a phone case and a tempered glass for protection.
So I've no choice and bought the case at the mall which worth 200 pesos. In my mind I was saying that 'if it's not badly needed, I won't buy it coz I can find a cheaper one at online shop'😊 But it's okey since my sister paid for it.
Then I just told her that I'll buy an extra case online coz it was just cheap. And here it is, the case for Samsung A03 has arrived and it has the same feature and quality with the one that I bought in store. And take note it's only worth 45 pesos. See the big difference?
Online shop is also a good buy and you can get many discounts..I just don't buy here an electronics or gadgets. It's still good if you can actually check it.
Rainy ride..
After two days of a sunny weather, now it's raining since early this morning.. Before I left home I was hesitant if I commute or ride in my bike. But then I just choose to bike since the pourdown had stopped. And it's good to have a ride coz the weather is cold.
But when I'm on halfway going to my destination, it suddenly rain heavily and I had to stop by at waiting shade in front of that hypermarket. Though I have my raincoat I waited til the rain to subside. And it just took about 5 minutes. Then I continue to ride with slight rain wearing my raincoat.
And the good thing is I'm not late at work. Now I have to enjoy my creamylatte coffee and bravo biscuit while the weather is cold😊
'Weather' it's cold or hot, let's all enjoy the day..😊
Happy Thursday..
Nature trip before I'll left home..
The sun came out late because it's foggy early this morning and part of Mount Arayat is still covered with fog too.. I feel the coldness and fresh air as I walked in the field. I used to wear rubber boots when I go to field and picked up some veggies to pack.
And here I've harvested veggies like 'sitaw, okra, talong, patola, and papayas'.. My mother also picked guavas. I'm happy coz I've veggies to cooked again when I get back to city later.
My next visit here will be next month when I'll pick-up the kids before the opening of class. For sure they will miss each other again..
Squash blossoms for you..
It's good to see the beautiful squash flowers this morning that despite the heavy rain and strong wind last night they didn't worn out. The harvested blossoms looks healthy.
And before my mother will sell them, the kids has to model the two bouquet of flowers. 😊 They can't believe that these were edibles. So we have left some to cook for stew or 'bulanglang' combine with other vegetables and add grilled tilapia fish.😋
Do you also eat squash flowers?!
Our kinda Saturday..
Early in the morning the kids were helping their grandma in cleaning the surrounding. 'Ate' is sweeping with the broom stick and my son pick up pulled weeds by grandma..
And because I miss them and it's weekend, I'm now traveling to visit there again. I'm still at the bus. And because they are very good too , I will give them their favorite 'pasalubong' here oh, Jollibee😊
Now they are excited and patiently waiting for me..
Happy Saturday noisemates..
Do pets can sense animal lovers?
In front of our office there are always cats and dogs that roaming around and once you approached them and give food they will always come back and won't leave anymore..
There are few dogs and stray cats that have been adopted by my boss coz he's an animal lover. And I believe animals can sense that specially dogs and cats.
Just like this cutie one, we named her 'Mimi' .. Look how she is comfortable with our boss' desk. And my boss even allowed the cat to sat down in his jacket to provide warmth to the cat.
Welcome to the family catto😻
Trolley for my mother..
This morning my father have assembled this foldable trolley that I ordered online. He already place the basket too. This is for my mother and she will use it in selling their vegetables in the nearby streets and to her friends..
When I've learned that she carry the 2 baskets by her hand,which were loaded with veggies, I told her to use trolley for convenience and I ordered it right away. It was just arrived today so starting tomorrow she'll gonna use it. I'm just hoping that the product will last longer.😊
By the way this trolley can also used when your are shopping in the supermarket or carry bags or luggage and its capacity is up to 15kg.
Green wallet
I supposed to give it to someone but I've changed my mind☺ Ordered this online last 7.7. And when I received it earlier I just wanted it to be mine haha. I've love it. Aside from it's my favorite color, I think the quality is good for its cheap price. It's three zippered wallet, can be a cosmetic pouch or a coin purse, with Id's. I think it will be useful to me.
So with that, I'm gonna look for another wallet for my present coz I've owned this one😊
Do you sometimes like that who used to love the item that is suppose to be a present to someone?😊
And because it was a sunny Sunday...
Kids helps their grandma to hang clothes.. The grandpa do the laundry and grandma is assigned to hang clothes with the kids haha. Glad to see them learning and helping with some house chores.
They seldom get enough sunlight in the city so they got to soak in an unlimited morning sunlight there. 😊And now the kids are more active. Now they are taking a rest and grandpa prepare an ice cream for them. Happy kiddos again😊
Happy Sunday too noisemates..😊
My cat is awake and said 'Get up and start your day right' 😊
Anyone who's using shareit app knows that cat. Just don't forget to say goodnight to him and he will give you coins in the morning. Oh 10.6% more to go and and I can claim a P100 load. And it's for my 3rd time. Not bad..😊
Happy caturday but my real world little kitten looks like not in a mood this morning. He just woke up too and not yet ready for an ID photo😻
A month later..
Here's the progress of the moringa seeds that I planted last month. They now grow taller. From a little plastic bag soil, transferred them into a big improvised pot made from a water gallon bottle..
I was happy to see them growing healthier. I was thinking to transferred them again into a wide plant box so they can grow faster..
By the way, I have brought lots of moringa seeds which I showed from my previous post and gave them to our neighbors.. They are also happy and planted the seeds in their garden. We'll see the progress later😊
Fun run @ da field..
While the weather is cool and the rain is approaching, they take the opportunity to go on the field and just keep running. Their grandma is checking veggies to harvest and the kids are playing. My father is just watching them and take photos and videos to be send to us..
Looks like they were enjoying their stay there everyday. It's nice to see them making fun memories that they'll always cherish..
Oh the green field! I love it😊💚
