Tia's teacher sends this to me on their Seesaw App which the school use for online learning. It says Tia having fun at PBL. What's PBL? Lol, I have to search on Google coz I don't have a clue what it is. And upon checking its Project-Based Learning that involves a dynamic classroom approach where they explore real-world challenges and problems. I love the fact that they always get out of the classroom and do different things. That way, kids learn more.
Keeping your money in the bank will not make you rich. Is this all I'm getting for keeping my money in the bank? A very generous £.03? Hahaha. I'm laughing. I could get a heart in noise.cash from one user for that. It's wise to invest our money so it can grow. It won't grow just by keeping it in the bank. But we should always have to have money for emergency purposes so I have to keep some in my bank. Just sad that reality slaps you hard. They keeping your money and make use…
'Fry Day' I ask my husband what he wants to eat before he says anything I reminded him if he says "surprise me dear" it will be a choice of soups in a tin. And I made sure I have stock at the pantry. 😁 I'm glad he replied, "A fry would be lovely." So fry it is! My kids are not a fan of fry. 😅 Tia Jigz and I will have rice, fried fish and sauteed vegetables. 😁 Rice is life! #food #UlsterFry
Good evening lovely people. Look at my kiddos. Tia and Jigz enjoyed the rides in Pleasure Beach! Who doesn't love the carousels? It's 23:47 here and I will hit the sack soon while most of you are ready for a brand new day. I hope you have a big smile on your face to attract positive energy. Before that let me share this article that I just published in read.cash. This was in my my draft since we came back from Blackpool. It's been there the whole time as I have so many…
Good morning lovely people. What a great sleep I had. And wake up late, it's nearly 11 am. So I'm putting on my best smile to greet the day ahead. Haha. Tia went to our room and wake us up. It's Saturday and no school so Mommy is free to have a lie on. Tia said she already had her breakfast and had bread with spread and Jigz was still in bed. So I guess it's time to get up and my husband placed an order for toast with butter and jam and coffee of course! How's your day…
My first mistake this morning. 🤣 It's too early for it but it wasn't the worst at least I didn't put salt to the coffee. My husband asks for toast with butter and jam. But my hand was in autopilot and reach for sugar instead of the jam after spreading butter. 🤣 At least I realized it to get the second bread done rightly. Just as always Mum says, "If he's hungry, he'll eat it." If he doesn't want it I'll eat it lol. 😂 He's eating both now. 😁
'Momma's Menu for Today' I'm making Baked Pork Chops with Onion and Gravy. The gravy will go on top of the chops whenever is nearly cooked and I give it time in the oven as well. I'm steaming mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots and string beans). I'm also boiling some Brussels sprouts. That will go with boiled baby potatoes/mashed potatoes. And lol that's not all Im cooking rice and sinigang na baboy! Any leftovers will do for tomorrow. That's if there's any. #homecooking…
Cooking is done. 😁 Finally, ready to feed them stomach. I think they would like my onion and gravy it's tasty enough. Mum tried it as well she said, "I've done a good job!" I learn to cook the baked pork chops with onion gravy from Mum. Well she prefer it with steak but this will do today. It's her recipe that I made. Thank you Mum! And I just cook an extra Pork Sinigang as I'm craving for it since last night. 😁 Team rice!!! #homecooking #food
When I was young, I got scared when it gets dark. You know the ghosts might come out and eat me. Then when I was employed, I'm thankful when the night comes. Because that means I can have a rest after a whole day of working. I just realised until now I still got scared when my life gets a little darker. I worried and I overreact when difficulties hit me. Because it's dark it's not easy for me to see its beauty, I'm blinded. I don't appreciate it. What is the bright side of…
Comber at Bridge Street tonight. There was a parade at about 9 pm which is the last of this year. We went out to get fried chicken from the shop. There are not many people about but surely the bar is full inside. There are many police cars around Comber because of the parade. I saw some cars flash their lights at us. My husband told me that that's to let us know that police are about. So we do the same when we come back, letting others know, flashing our lights to them. Then…
Rise and shine lovely people! Don't be lazy like Thumper we have bills to pay lol. He got free carrots every day and we don't get anything for free now except this ❤. Ayiee. But seriously he's so cute in this photo. He just lies down there like he doesn't care. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
📢 Face the harsh wind and the slashing rain even if it means you have to stand alone. This white rose is the only one left from all the roses in our front garden. The weather was pretty bad lately but it still there hanging in with its beauty. Just while taking this photo the prevailing wind keeps battering her. But still there. Must be enjoying the wind, she's used to it, she's stronger than ever now. Be like this rose. ❤
Sweets and Biscuits Mum sent me to the shop to get the kids sweets and I have a whole lot on my list. She's the number one spoiler of Tia and Jigz that's why they love her too much. I think all grannies are like that! 😊 I love the tin box of The book of Teatime treats. It's gorgeous, I can keep it when it's empty and put the kid's craft items in it.
🤣🤣🤣 The Chase. The chase is on. If you want to have a good laugh just look at the photos. Lol, we are all trying to catch Thumper because he is out from his hatch again. We will be in trouble if he goes back to the neighbours. 😂 So let the chase continue! Us vs just one rabbit. Lol.
Yey! It's brightening up! ☀️ It's been gloomy all day and we have small showers from time to time. Not the best time for kids to run in the garden but yes to wear the wellies and jump in the puddle. But a blue sky like this can always put a smile on someone else's face. A great view of the fields with the Scrabo at the centre.
• Burger, Chips and Beans • I didn't make anything fancy today. Just fry burger patties, sliced our freshly grown tomatoes, onions and add a slice of cheese and that's dinner solved. Beans and Chips to go with it and it's served. What did you make today? And it's Monday again tomorrow. Weekends just fly. Thank you for your time. Love, @tired_momma ❤ #food
Me: Wait! I'm not ready for Monday yet! Sunday: See you again next week! Haha, I'm still chasing Sunday. And Thumper becomes a meme. We haven't caught him yet. We ended up conceding defeat. For goodness sake he can really run in speed as if he's flying. 🤣 I see you tomorrow Thumper. Make sure you run from the fox if you see one tonight. Oh please be safe baby. Love, @tired_momma (Original Content)
Does anyone have Revolut Account? Is it worth it to pay £12.99 for the metal card for its benefits? I was looking for a Visa card that I can use in my Binance account after they suspend withdrawal for the UK customers using Faster Payments. I used to withdraw GBP in Binance without hassle but since it was halted I switch to Coinbase. Now I see an option for Visa Card and then upon searching, I came across Revolut and just recently open an account and it was a fast…
May you have a bright day ahead and a good sleep for me. I have to wake up early for the kids. It's Monday again. Why it sounds so exhausting? As if I'm not used to it. Lol. We just have to keep the positive vibes, uplifts our spirit no matter how busy our day going to be. I'm planning my day in my mind. And just want to share this article that I just published in read.cash whenever you have time. Maybe some of you will be interested in that app or have experience and…
Good morning sunshine! 🌞 Sunshine is missing so I left with lovely people. Let's have coffee first while on my cleaning break. And I'm here up the front to see which hedge are we going to cut first. As you can see it's grown from the last time that we cut it. But this would be the last for this year then next year again. I will have a productive day today. Wondering how's your day so far? @tired_momma
Expectation vs Reality I thought I'm getting what's in the picture coz I love cream. But I was surprised to see that it's just a plain brandy snap biscuit. And I laugh at myself for my own fault for not reading that it's only a serving suggestion and the cream is not included. So let's just have toast with butter and sugar instead. This always happens to me in my daily life and I'm sure you can relate too. Yung akala mo mangangamusta lang, mangungutang pala. Na touch pa…
'Rusty Visited While I'm Cooking' Can I just say I'm so happy to see Rusty!!! 😁 Like I'm busy cooking here. I'm making the creamy mushroom sauce while I have the Chicken Kievs in the oven. I'm also frying chicken for it's the kid's request today for dinner. That notification from Rusty made me smile while cooking. This is gonna be good!
Cooking is Done! Momma's Menu for today: Mashed potato, Chicken Kievs with Creamy Mushroom Sauce and Green Peas and for Team Rice Fried Chicken Fillets, Creamy Mushroom Sauce and peas. And that's me looking at my mess now after cooking. Not a good sight lol. Bon Appetit!
We're doing homework and now on break. Tia said she's going to fix my hair and make it nice so I can show it to Daddy when he comes home. She has always been proud of doing little things that make me smile and happy. Next stop I'll be reviewing with my son. School time for me again.
Facebook and Instagram not working? No worries, we have noise.cash and read.cash that are working properly. Sorry to hear those have an important matter with the said platforms. I understand that you need that working as well. I hope it will get sorted the soonest. But in the meantime let's enjoy noise and read!
Last writing before she goes to bed. She didn't complain much today and I'm happy about that because some days it's very challenging to make her do a certain activity that her teacher sends to us every night. And break from time to time is a must with snacks in between.
'Preparing my kid's snack' This is the last thing to do then I can rest. I just have to pack their snack for school tomorrow. I need to get grapes and crisps for Jigz and a banana for Tia. Then that's it done. They changed their mind last minute as they say ham and cheese first and we ended up with tuna sandwich. I just add mayo, pickles, salt and pepper to a can of tuna. Hello, good evening lovely people and good morning sunshine early risers! Have a great day ahead.…
Who loves scented candles? I get used to light it up every night. I love its pleasant smell in the air. It's making me feel relaxed and it's calming my nerves. Do you love it too? That's just one of the things that I get used to. And that's part of my published article https://read.cash/@tired_momma/i-get-used-to-it-52edf38c The thing is I was just missing Rusty's presence. I get used to him as well.
Breakfast Cereals This is a normal breakfast here but not for the Filipinos. We love rice. We love heavy breakfast. Who love cereals? Oatmeal? Energen? The kids are getting ready for school. I have to go down the tunnel house as soon I they go to pick ripe tomatoes. I forgot to do it yesterday! Rise and shine! @tired_momma
'Homegrown Tomatoes' Another task is done. Just finish picking tomatoes at the tunnel house. I'm thinking of making Spaghetti Bolognese today using these tomatoes. Fresh ingredients are the best! What are you up to lovely people? #gardening #tomatoes
Lol I took one home with me. He's not so happy looking old man. Glad he fits with me. We are getting three but the two are two big and they have to pack it up for us. So we are going to lift it later. Guess which other two is it! Ahh those are good. I'm excited to see the kids reaction and Mum as well. Hahaha she will love his new boyfriend! What do you think? I'm excited to show you what Mum going to say or think of our buy!
'Plot Twist' She loves it. Mum loves her new butler! Hahaha. She can't stop laughing. And she told us to tell Tia when we lift her that she got a new boyfriend. So she will be thrilled to see who it is lol. She wonders if she will like her boy. What do you think? The plan is to put sweets on the tray and that will keep them happy. Tia will see it first as Jigz goes home from school an hour after. Do you like him???
I can tell you Tia feared this old butler. She walks back whenever she comes in and see it. But after some time, she started getting near it and pressing the button to make it move. Jigz didn't got scared at all. They eat all the sweets anyway. There's two more coming later. The 6 ft witch and the Ghost Rider.
'Pizza and Chicken Wings' A treat from the husband. Have a slice, lovely people. Homework, spelling, writing and reading are done. So we've got a treat! The kids did a very good job tonight! Jigz wrote 80 spellings aside from his math homework and Tia memorize her high-frequency words for the week and wrote them. And it's my time to shine. Mommy's time starts now. Good evening everyone! @tired_momma
We inspire others to change for the better by becoming the better version of ourselves. There's no other way. And we will never see the better in others until we become better ourselves. So please tell the universe, "I am the better version of myself!" Today, look into the mirror and appreciate yourself. Give yourself a big pat. A big smile and a big Thank You! @tired_momma (Photo is for entertainment purposes only. You don't need to look for permanent markers and vandalize…
'Cakes and Cookies' I will have an easy day. I'm lazy to do anything today anyway BUT TO EAT. I will be eating all day I guess. It feels like winter outside. Argh.. Here we go again my poor bones will be sore! Sharing these treats at Pit Stop. It's a lovely restaurant. (Guys, it's okay if the ❤ don't have value as long as you click it for me. That's good enough for me. Cheers) @tired_momma
Where do all hair bobbles, scrunchies, clips and all the hair accessories go? And why oh why I can never find one when I needed it? Like I keep buying it. I keep buying them for Tia and me. But I couldn't find one when I need one. And sometimes I only left with one for the entire time till I buy another. Do they disappear after every use? And yesterday while picking some for Tia, my husband was like: "Every time we do the shopping you always get hair bobbles." And I was…
'Buttered Garlic Shrimp' I'm making Christmas Dinner today. We're having turkey. But upon checking in the oven the what I thought was a big one shrunk and I doubt that it would be enough for us so I making this buttered garlic shrimp just in case. I'm having rice anyway and the kids. I already steamed carrots, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Yorkshire pudding and stuffing balls are nearly done. We see how this goes. Will share it later for now. Just have the shrimp. Thank…
'Momma's Menu for Today' Just gravy to go with it and that's the dinner done! I just used the Bisto granules. The turkey was perfectly cooked. And this would be a good dinner for the family. What did you cook today? #homecooking #food
And for dessert, we're having Fresh Cream Jam Roll and Fruit Trifle. Most of us love cream. And this roll is not too sweet that's why I like it. I didn't make this. I get it in Supervalu. They sell good cakes. I was about to get Strawberry Pavlova but they don't have it. My husband said maybe I can try to make Pavlova one of these days. And I said, why not? What's your favourite dessert?
It's not always a happy face with a big bright smile. Some days this is the face I have to deal with. Because let's admit it we all have this kind of day. And a child is no exception to that. It's time for our writing time with the High-frequency words. And she started with this face it means Tia doesn't want to do it. She must be tired today so I just let her go to the room and rest early tonight. I know most of us parents fight a battle with our children over doing their…
'Pampering my Husband' After the kids, it's daddy's turn. I haven't clean his nails for a long time so now I'm doing it and just finished. I love cleaning his nails because it's dirty and it's very satisfying when I see it as clean as this. He is working in our car so his hands are all black. My back is sore bending but I was promised a good massage later. So I'm looking forward to that. I don't have the energy to prepare the kids snack for school tomorrow so I'm going to…
Our Filipino breakfast this morning. I prepare noodles, eggs, chopped ham (meatloaf) and rice. The kids are away at school now. It's a wet day today so I reminded them to be careful on the road and for Tia not to jump on the puddles because she might slide and get hurt. She said she will have one jump but promised me that she will be careful. Haha. That's Tia! How's your day so far?
Yesterday was a good day so we started cutting the hedge then the husband has to stop when it started to rain. And today was raining again, we cannot resume cutting. (I'm getting better at cutting still I can't cut straight.) This will be the last as the hedge will stop growing because it's too cold. We just cut it twice this year. You know it's really not the cutting but the cleaning up. I hope it would be a bright sky tomorrow so we can be done with this. Is it raining in…
'Road Mishap' We had an hour drive to Craigavon to get this steel. My husband sees it on Facebook Market and only selling it for £5 per bar which is cheap because we pay £15 per length the last time in Bangor. Even we don't need them yet, my husband said we might as well just buy them. So we drove and we get 30 bars. On our way home, all these bars fell on the road. My husband took off too quick and the steels slide off. He didn't see the red light going, three different…
At the moment we're here at Lidl's to do our weekly hopping. Look at these treats for Halloween! They have Halloween chicken nuggets, mini pizza and black cone ice cream. I'm just getting one each for the kids. We're late for our shopping but we are doing Lidl first then lift Tia, then wait for an hour and lift Jigz then we can resume our groceries shopping. And guess what husband said we have time for our date before we lift Tia. But not really but we're getting McDonald's.…
I'm sure these boats had good old days. I remember the quotes about the ships on the port or boats on the harbour how safe they are in there but that's not what they are made for. They meant to go on a sail just like us people. No matter how rough the sea is. Even we have to face a storm, we have to sail on. We must learn to control the sail and not the wind. And use the wind wisely to our advantage. Be a good boat! Sail on!
'Mommy's Homework' As soon as we come home from the shop not long ago, my daughter Tia was very excited and called me to see a surprise that she made. And there it is from the parcel box that came today, she makes it as her canvass to draw our Halloween decorations. And that's not all, she said, "Mommy I make homework for you to do and Lola. You don't go to school and you don't have homework so I make you one!' I laugh at the addition she wrote. Maybe she meant for us to…
I think the wig suits them all. Tia is requesting a pink one but sadly we did not see any other colours than red and blue. Will be checking out for pink next week. This house is serious. What's in the house and who's in the house are all hilarious. Did you like it?
'What You See' By: tired_momma Life is not always about the bright blue sky Or the money in our pocket The smile on our faces is so precious But so is the tears that falling from our eyes. Our hardships are as good as victory Those times we kneel are the times we break free The people who bring us down They did help us to trust ourselves and get back up in life. It's nice to see the good things the world can offer And so to appreciate what is not And to see the beauty of our…
I have leftover rice from yesterday and the adobo sauce so I just heat it. I steamed okra and pak choi and fry smoked fish. I will be cooking tocino later which I marinate overnight. Glad they have Mama Sitas Tocino Mix in Asean Shop and I'm able to cook one here. I tried making my own but it doesn't taste like tocino so I give up. What are you having today?
'Who cares?' Life is like a beautiful melody and there's me who likes to mess it up. Music, our soul's outburst. The best company when we want no one but ourselves. The best cheerleader just by turning it on. When we are not our best selves, we just play our favourite beat and we dance to the music or sing our heart out. Who cares if we can't carry a note in a bucket? Or simply our singing sucks? Who cares if it's making our hearts light and our life a little happier? Who…
Sitting still while my wings are stuck. Enjoying the view and the company of the flowers and plants.. I had a good rest and wake up late. I'm now fully charged. I spotted this charming toy at the charity shop and pay just a pound for Tia. She said she loves it! I know that she will. My Saturday has just started. How are you doing today?
A heartfelt hug warms the hearts. An early loving from Lola and Tia. I think and most of you agree grandmothers are the sweetest. They are the one who gives infinite hugs and kisses. They will make their grandchildren feel extra special. And they never get tired of listening to their never-ending stories. And the kids will never starve when they're with grannies. She will make you eat all the time coz she thinks they are fading away if she doesn't see them eating. Haha. Love…
'Saturday Ride' It's the day again we're out in the fields with the kids. Tia and Jigz are on their quad and Daddy on his bike and I'm just the photographer the one who shouts "Be careful! Don't go too fast!" Ahh, Tia giving me a heart attack she just fly up to the fairy tree! We're having some fun time today.
Tia and Jigz are having the best time ever! I wish you can hear Tia. She is ecstatic she's giggling and laughing out loud I thought she's crying at first. She said this is so good! It's very muddy here. And as you can see she's just wearing trainers because who knows where's her boots are! Can't find one so just trainers so she can go. We're all dirty now. But surely these can be washed what matters is that they are enjoying. We all are. And oh no, I can't ride a bike, just…
Sharing random pictures here in the fields. Tia's bike is out now so we're just having fun running up to fairy tree. She had a good go on it. I have to go home to make something to eat because everyone is starving. The car will be muddied haha I can imagine it now. The place is relaxing, isn't it?
'Momma's Spaghetti' Today after our fun time in the fields I made the kids spaghetti. This is a sweet style made from our homegrown tomatoes mix with Filipino spaghetti sauce loaded with minced pork and sausages just the way they like it. The day passes so quickly. It's nighttime again. Some of you will be up soon and some will be ready to hit the sack.
Yey! Won £8.10 in Euro Millions. I didn't win the millions but £8.10 is better than nothing. I paid £2.50 so I still make £5.60. This is the lucky dip I get. Could be lucky next time so finger crossed could be millions next! But seriously they should increase the winnings at least. I got 3 numbers out of 5 and got 1 lucky star out of 2. Do you think it should be more? Oh well, who am I to question the National Lottery? I don't do this often. Just when I'm feeling lucky. You…
Tia's nose is bleeding again. My husband said his niece is the same and I have nothing to worry about. But yesterday was too much blood. I will phone for an appointment tomorrow as it's Sunday today. Now, I want to ask you, parents, if you experience this in your child? Care to share your experience with me but I will still phone the doctor tomorrow to be sure.
'Momma's Menu for today' I make pork chops, mixed vegetables and baby potatoes. I also make mushroom and onion gravy. As usual, I make rice for myself but I love baby potatoes too so I'm having a bit of everything. I had a busy time cleaning and power washing the jeep, bike and quads. The one we used yesterday at the fields. It's all muddied. So that's my day going. And now just finish cooking. Bon Appetit! How's your day lovely people? #food
'Sometimes We Are Stuck' Sometimes we are stuck on the road of life. Some are stuck living it to the fullest and some are stuck running from it. So we just keep driving without a destination. We just keep going. And as we keep going we realized that we don't stay in the same place. We don't always stay in the mud. We have to stop from time to time. We have to change tires. And if we run out of gas we have to refuel, we have to recharge. Then we're back to the road again with…
Tia tonight: Mommy, I'm making your homework and you have to answer it, alright? Don't worry I will help you to answer if you don't know it. And Daddy has to do his homework too. I'll make one for him. So she draws and writes this for me to answer and make a separate one for Daddy. Before I can start I heard the car coming. I run and hide when her Daddy comes. And I'm proud to say that Daddy is doing his homework now. I can hear him complaining, " Do you think I did not have…
Tonight with my husband: We're up the road to get milk in the shop. And stop at the side of the road because he needs to blow his nose and get the roll at the back of the jeep. So while waiting I decided to take picture of the road and stand in the middle as there's no car passing at that time. My husband laughing at me for what crazy stuff I'm doing. Some days I just shout "stop!" while on the road just to take a shot and he said I'm giving him a heart attack lol. I think…
Have you ever forgot to check the clothes before putting them in a washer? My husband is looking for his trousers and it's already in the washer. I didn't check the pockets. And he's asking me if I took out the money. What money? Like I always check Tia's uniform for some days there are many amazing things hidden in it. Sometimes a big rock which I was told and corrected, "It's not a rock that's a baby dinosaur!" Oh okay. Some days it's leaves. She just finds it cute there's…
'I've Got a Job!' It's been 5 years since I left my previous job and decided to be a full-time Mom and the transition wasn't easy as I not used to be at home. This morning I went to the shopping centre and meet Paul and William. I will be working here in the rug shop. They offered me £9/hour and a £10 bonus daily if I hit certain figures. The good thing is that I'm only working from half 9 to half 1 so it's only 4 hours and that's the time that kids are away to school. I'm…
'Momma's Menu for Today' So today I made omelette. It's made up of minced pork, onion, garlic, carrots, potato, bell pepper, seasoned with salt and pepper. They will have beans and chips with them as I'm having rice with ketchup. They call it red sauce here. I prefer it saying ketchup. I miss our banana ketchup back home. You know when you get used to the taste of certain foods and seasoning you will stick to it. It's hard to change my palate now. Do you prefer red sauce?…
'Teacher Mode' It's writing and reading time for Mommy and Tia while Jigz is still at the skate park. This is for today's High-Frequency words. Tia was thought in school phonics first. They focus on the sound of each letter and for them to put those sounds together to make up the word. So instead of a letter, they learn the sound first. If she forgot how to read a word then I will remind her what's the sound of each letter and then combine it and that's her remembering the…
Cup of tea, love? I just finish everything to be done tonight. And I'm happily enjoying this tea now with apple turnover. I phoned my husband as we run out of Actimel which is the drink that Tia loves to have with her snack for school. She will not be happy if she didn't see it. The last time, she was like: "Mommy didn't I told you that I love Actimel? Why did you put fruit shoot?" Oh you know. Kids are very good at complaining. In my days, you just have to eat what you get…
Are you grateful? Let's see what's in there instead of what is not If you are not grateful for what you have now, what makes you think you will be happy with more? Learn to be thankful no matter how big or small. Because the more thankful you are, the more things will come to be thankful for. Be thankful that you wake up this morning. Be grateful for a new day. Be grateful for a new chance. You are blessed. I'm grateful for this wonderful day with my family with me. I'm…
And that's my first day with my job done! I had an amazing day at the rug shop. Well, my back is sore and my feet but other than that I'm completely happy. I came with my notes and learning all these sizes of rugs and patterns. The hard bits are lifting the big ones and the ones that clip on. I'm with Paul today and he is teaching me this and that. I was laughing as he make it looks so easy rolling and putting tape on it. And I was like haha, how did he do that! He said it…
'Indian Takeaway' My sweet Mum because it's my first day at work prepared Vegetable Soup so I can eat it as soon as I came home. And for dinner, we had Indian Takeaway, Fish and Chips, Chicken for the kids. My husband insisted I not cook. But we didn't agree on one dish so that how it end up to. I will get back to my cooking tomorrow. I'm doing homework now with the kids and will review the sizes of rugs from my notes so I can remember them for tomorrow. Aja aja! Good…
Who loves chair massage? Me!!! I think I love any kind of massage but if you can't have a proper service then a chair massage will do. And you only pay £1 for 5 minutes. After work, I saw this massage chair just outside the shop where I'm working and my eyes went huge lol. This is a well-spent £1. My aching back and feet are being dealt with. The second photo that's me and my husband. That's the first time he tried the chair massage and says it's good. But he is so…
Good morning sunshine! What a cold day it is. I prepare porridge and cereals for our breakfast. Yes, that's porridge here, oatmeal for some or just simply oats. Yey! Thank you, 5000 awesome people! I'm glad to wake up and see this figure as soon as I check Noise! Lol, that's part of my routine. Have a great day to everyone!
We have this "cute fridge" at work and I want one lol. Because it's really small, only 2 pints of milk can fit into it. But maybe won't work for me because I hide too much stuff from the kids especially ice lolly. Will be good to store drinks for the husband coz he likes it cold if he can't be bothered getting up going to the kitchen. Tia would surely love this as well! She will put her dolls and toys telling me they are sweating and they need to cool down a bit. Hahaha. But…
Today after work, I and my husband rushed to attend Parents Consultation and meet Tia's teacher. Last year because of covid Parents Consultation was made through phone but this time we able to meet Mrs Sims and tell us about how Tia getting on in school. She gave us updates on her writing, numeracy, high-frequency words, reading and how she gets along with the great of the class. She said Tia is a real sweetheart and almost everything is positive. She loves to play with…
'Momma's Menu Today' After going to Parents Consultation after work I went straight to the kitchen to cook our dinner. I made Chicken Pastel as requested by my husband. And of course, I'm always happy to cook and here you go. Simple ingredients: • chicken • double cream/ nestle cream • milk • stock cubes (for more flavour) • potato • carrots • peas • peppers • parsley • onion • garlic Saute onion, garlic and bell pepper then the chicken. Then put the cubes, I used ham cube.…
Tia's Art in their Classroom I forgot to mention that Tia's teacher Mrs Sims told us that she is very good at arts. That she takes her time while painting and she's so dedicated to it. Mrs Sims proudly shows us one of her artwork that is on display in their classroom. Tia did that one in the middle. And I couldn't be more proud of my baby! Very good job!
'Momma's Early Cooking' Rise and shine. Good morning lovely people. I get up early this morning to make breakfast and prepare their lunch when the kids come home and for the husband so they can eat whenever they're hungry. I have to do the shopping after work so I'll be home late. That's why I prepare their food early. I cook Sinigang with Fish and Shrimp and mashed potato, mixed vegetables and chops for my husband. I told my husband he can just make gravy so it will be…
'Tia on tiger feet stilts' Look at that beautiful smile! She looks overjoyed playing these charming feet walking around the playground pulling up that enormous tiger paws. Tia's teacher, Mrs Sims send me this photo today. And I just love it! That's a very nice picture of her. I showed it to Mum and she's smiling. Thank goodness her teacher sending us such. I really appreciate that. I should get one of these as this is very great for imaginative play and will enhance her…
Late shopping as my husband attended Alek's funeral after my work and we don't have time. So we have to take the kids tonight and do our shopping. First stop at Lidl's then at shopping centre have to go Asda and Poundland. That's our three main places for our weekly needs. Are you having a good night. And good morning sunshine to early risers!
I'm grateful for all the blessings I receive and receiving. Today, I did not let my husband pay a single penny for our groceries. I proudly paid for everything and even get my family a KFC bucket meal. And I can tell how good it feels to spend money from your own pocket. I'm happy. It was my 3rd day at work today and tomorrow they want me to work on my own. And they want me to open the shop already. I'm glad that they liked how I work. And they are very pleased with my job.…
What a lovely morning today! It put a smile on my face and ache to my bones because it's freezing cold now. Just to remind my body that winter is coming. I'm off to work now after we drop the kids to school. Today I'm doing my shift alone. I'm excited! Have a great day everyone!
I got this water bottle in the shop yesterday for me to bring to work. And my daughter Tia told me last night, "Mommy, can I just borrow your pink water bottle so I can show it to everybody at school?" Hahaha.. Good, she forgot it this morning and I was able to use it first. Being a Mom is knowing what is yours is not yours alone. And sharing is always caring. Do you agree?
Mrs Sims send all the parents the photo of her P2 class as the kids were visited by dentists today. Look at all those wee smiles! They are all lovely. But my Tia wasn't smiling. So I ask her why she's not smiling in the photo. She said, "I was about to, mommy!" Hahaha, Mrs Sims maybe didn't wait for that smile. She came home with a small toothpaste that she is proud to show to her Lola.
What I learn at work today. We have different preferences And things we consider in decision making In small things like getting a carpet What I think is beautiful Is not in someone else's eyes And what their think is beautiful I'm trying to see which part. Like everything is nice and everything is beautiful But it depends on how we see it and in consideration of what we needed it for. There are loads to consider. What colour, what pattern, A light one, a darker one, I have…
'She Wants a Baby Sister!' Tia and her daddy having a conversation while I'm washing the dishes. And it goes like this: Tia: Daddy, can Mommy not make another baby coz I would like you to have a baby sister? (She makes it sounds as if she's ordering a happy meal at McDonald's) Daddy: We will try to make one for you baby while patting her head and giving her a hug. Tia even said "thank you daddy!" She's so happy and I gave my husband a dirty look as Tia will keep asking when…
My stomach is so sore and I feel so bad. My Mum didn't know how to help me and gave me a hot water bottle and told me to put it in my stomach. And migraine is attacking again. Does anyone have a tip to help me ease the pain of migraines? My stomach pain is given having dysmenorrhea. Just this migraine. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
I didn't make any post today as I'm trying to sort the washing, I need to change all the bedsheets and I'm on the fourth load now. I just finished cleaning the kid's bedroom and I'm knackered. And I have cooking to do. So there you go my rest day from work will not be rest day in the house. And I just check noise.cash and instantly see an update. How can I miss it? And can I just say this is great! I love this update! It's better that you, yourself alone knows how much you…
'Best Massage Ever" Let me just share this as it's very touching. Yesterday, I had a migraine while having stomach pain (dysmenorrhea). Mum gave me a hot water bottle. She's very sweet and thoughtful. And when Tia sees me in such a state coz I was lying down on the floor while my feet were up and massaging my own head, she runs to me and said, "I'm gonna massage your head, Mommy. I'll do it for you." And she kisses my forehead. And ask me if I'm alright. Those tiny hands…
'Momma's Menu for Today' So I'm back to cooking and these are what I prepare for today's dinner: Mashed potatoes, fish fillet or chicken, mixed vegetables and creamy pepper sauce. An easy peasy dinner! And for dessert, I prepare a platter of fruits which are their favourites. A melon, watermelon, banana and apple. And that's me done cooking. What did you cook for today? #homecooking #food
'It's Okay Not To Be Okay' It's okay to be sad. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to scream out loud. I am strong I know I am But some days I am not I always believe I can do everything But my body sometimes says, "No you cant!" I'm crying my heart out I'm giving in to the negative feelings inside Tomorrow I'll be smiling again But tonight let me be this one I'm not okay and it's alright..
Good morning lovely people! It's been raining today, very dark outside. I get up early to clean the toilet and kitchen. And last night we just sleep with no bed sheet, quilt cover or pillowcases. I work till half 9 at night and when I came home I was so tired that after I take the bed sheets and pillowcase from the drier I don't have the power to make the bed. And I fall asleep after being so upset. My husband wasn't here to help me if he is around he will do it for me. Now…
'Momma's Menu for Today' So I have leftover rice from yesterday and decided to use it for lunch. We never throw rice in this house. And I know it doesn't look appetizing but my husband and kids love it. This is corned beef fried rice. Just saute onion and garlic then the corned beef. I use Argentina which I got from Asian Shop near me. And I added peas, string beans and sweetcorn into it. Then add the rice and seasoned it with salt and pepper. That's easy peasy. This is…
Let's have mango! Who loves mango? Tia! Aside from watermelon, she loves mango. On our shopping day before going to school she will remind me, "Mommy don't forget my mango!" I missed our sour mango back home. Everything here is sweet. I missed the sour one. Do you eat mango?
One of the skills I acquired during the pandemic. Haha now I can use a hair clipper and I have two customers from time to time, my son and Mum. Save £15 going for a haircut outside. My husband doesn't trust me much hahaha. So first is Jigz getting ready for school tomorrow. Mum is next! And I trim Tia's fringe as well. 😁 Not too bad lol.
'Future Vlogger' Oh my world. I had a good laugh earlier on as I was busy in the kitchen, I heard Tia talking and saw that she's trying to video herself. I heard her say, Hello, I am Tia and this is my Lola's boyfriend (the butler), the witch and the skeleton. You know showing all these Halloween Stuff inside the house. I laugh when she said that her Lola's boyfriend is never happy lol. I would love to share you the video. Haha, I even heard her saying "subscribe". I'm…
BCH is under $600 so I'm buying. I'm always waiting waiting till it goes down and I will buy it when it goes up which is not a smart move. So while it's down $600 I'm filling up. And I'll just wait till I'm happy enough with my profit. Surprise me this Christmas! 😁 #BCH
My son was upset that I wasn't able to get these Pokemon Cards. And I did bid on it at the last minute to make sure no one can bid after but we are all thinking the same thing so I lose the bid on both. The thing is there's Pokemon Cards at Asda but this one cost, £20.97 and my eyes went huge with its crazy price and no way I will pay £20.97 for a pack of cards that I don't even know what for. What a waste of money. But he thinks different. Why is this so expensive??? So I…
Today is a beautiful day! Well, I used to call this a bad day. The sun is not shining, the sky is grey and it's raining with the wind blowing. But Mum said the farmers are happy. For the farmers, this is a beautiful day. For Tia, this is a good day to jump in the water and muddy puddles and wear her wellies that are still nowhere to be found. It should be every day is a beautiful day. It shouldn't matter if it rains or it shines. Make the most of it! Good morning and have a…
4 months ago I ask support for my Tita Rose Chemotherapy here at noise.cash and read.cash and I'm overwhelmed with your generous hearts and I raised some money and send it to her daughter. https://noise.cash/post/197k0938 I'm saddened that she passed away this morning. But she was in too much pain for too long. Now she can rest. Now she is without pain. I just want to thank every one of you for helping us when we needed help. THANK YOU!
'Momma's Menu for Today' Adding parsley to my creamy pepper sauce. I'm just making the same dinner. Chicken Kievs or Bacon, Rice or Baby Potatoes and mixed vegetables plus this sauce that I'm making. I can't think of anything to make. I should invent a new dish one of these days. I was about to post this while making the sauce but I wasn't able to so there you go ready to serve. Bon Appetit everyone! #homecooking #food
As soon as she came home from school, she wanted to paint. Mrs Sims send home a Christmas Card Fundraising form to turn our children's artwork into Christmas cards, mugs, poster calendars etc. They do this yearly. So I told Tia she can paint or draw whatever she wants and she go for Santa and Tia! It looks like they are best friends! #art
'Momma on teacher mode' I just finish Tia and goodness after giving her some high-frequency words to write she gave me something to answer too hahaha. She said this is my homework for today. Thank you Tia. And it's me and my son's turn after finishing homework were answering a practice paper for the AQE exam which is next month. So we're trying to review every night. My brain is getting drain. 😅
If there's no sun to brighten up your day, there's a moon to cheer you up on a beautiful night. You just have to look up. But most of the time the sun is shining brightly in the sky to lighten up your day and the moon at night to keep you company in the dark. And if you can't see them, you should keep in mind that they're just there. You are never alone. What a beautiful full moon tonight. 🌚
I'm Dead 🤣 So this afternoon I ask my husband to take me to the shopping centre as I have to get bread and bacon for we forgot it at last week's grocery. Then just a while ago I was about to make the kids sandwich for school tomorrow. When I realised that I didn't get bread when I went to the shopping centre when I told him I was getting bread. 😅 And so after praying before asking my husband to go to the shop and get me bread, he didn't say anything. He knows my face I gave…
Good morning lovely people! It's quarter to 8 and I'm starting to cook our breakfast. I also have work today. And they give me the keys to the shop to open. This is my 2nd week at work, yey! Have a great day to all of us! And keep being awesome! 💎
I just back home from work and here we are with Tia and Jigz starting to carve up the pumpkin to bring to their school tomorrow. They have Pumpkin Competition and it's not winning but I like to see them enjoying while doing this. They love been asking me this since 1st of October so they are happy now. It's hard work taking all the inside of the pumpkin and Tia keep asking how many more seeds are inside hahaha I will show you what can we come up with. Tia wants a Kitty and…
What a night! So as soon as I came home from work I went straight carving a pumpkin with the kids. They have to bring this to school tomorrow. They are the one who takes everything out but I have to help them to carve as we are using knives. Tia wants to do it herself but I have to hold her hand as I'm scared that she will get hurt. And same as Jigz as it's really not easy to carve pumpkin anyway. And Tia started decorating hers. Why not? Haha she's really artistic! I laugh…
Hello dear friends! What a beautiful freezing day it is. I have so many to share this morning about the kids that will make you smile but I have to get ready for the funeral. I thought I was having a lie on after they went to school and then forget today is Colin's sisters funeral. I share that with you at my read.cash article. Before the dead get buried here on the 3rd day but now it takes a week or two to get it sorted. So I was in the mood to take a selfie. Sorry about…
"Remember all the things I did right when I'm alive and let it be our bond." Those words from the funeral celebrant I remember the most. Surely we did a lot of badness when we are living but we hope we are remembered not just for the bad but for all the good things that we have done. I don't know if it matters when you're already dead. But death makes us realize how precious life is. How important living the present. To live life to the fullest because you will never know if…
Tia and Jigz bring their carved pumpkin to school this morning. When I pick them up I saw all these creative pumpkins 🎃 just outside the Andrews Memorial Hall adorned by parents and children. I spotted Tia's Kitty Cat Pumpkin. And they are all good looking pumpkins! Tia said they got free sweets today. And already excited because it's their Halloween Half-Term Break next week. Aren't they creative? Very well done!
'Learn from Tia and Jigz' Yesterday, I shared that Tia and Jigz are carving their pumpkin to take to school. They pour their heart out and design it the way they like it and I only help them carve because the knife is sharp and they might get hurt. Tia insists she wants to carve it herself, I hold her hand to guide and remind Jigz to be careful. Their Daddy wasn't there and he came home while they are sleeping. He decided to make a new one because he wasn't impressed with…
As the saying goes, "Let's shoot for the moon, even if we miss, we land among the stars." There's so much meaning for this. Find your own meaning. But for me, I have to keep aiming and if I fail I never lose. I always learn a lesson and I'm always a bit closer every time I try. So I keep trying. And one more thing, keep some BCH in your wallet so when it goes to the moon, you can have a big smile on your face knowing your money has grown. (Photo was taken tonight)
'Tinolang Manok' Yesterday, I cook this tinolang manok and have some leftovers. I put extra ginger on it to suit my throat. So I'm going to have it this morning. I prefer eating a heavy breakfast. Bread or toast will not do me. The kids are off to school and I'm getting ready for work. I'm sure you too are busy out there. What are you up to? #food #homecooking
My boss left a note saying, "Magandang Umaga" which means good morning in our language. Haha, he must search it in Google. I laugh as soon as I see it. This small lovely gesture give you positive vibes, uplifting my spirit especially when you have work to do. Aja Aja! Let's keep the smile on our faces, a positive spirit and attract the good vibes. Have an AWESOME day lovely people!
Thursdate at the Cinema Because I'm working we have to do our shopping late at night and since Thursday is also our bonding time we're going to watch James Bond No Time To Die. It's me and the kids the last time when I took them on Jigz birthday now it's our time to shine. Hahaha.
It's Friday Yey! And today is their last day and finally on their Halloween Half Term Break. Tia and Jigz are looking forward to this. The teacher said it's a none uniform day so Tia said, "I'm gonna wear my princess dress!" I know it's Halloween but Tia insist she will be a princess. 🤣
Tia is entertaining Lola tonight showing off her new song and dance. And what can I say? This princess dress would be for the entire week I guess. 🤷♀️ I need entertainment as well. I have to work tomorrow again, 4 days straight this week. Just glad that it's my kids holiday so Yipee! Are you having a good night? And lovely morning to early risers!
Happy Sunday Morning! I just get up to put the washing on and I went back to bed to have a lie on. The first time this week that I can stay in bed until all get up and say, "Mommy I'm hungry." Haha. That's me finished my 5 days straight shift at work. And I missed you all. I know I have some catching up to do. I just can't juggle my time as they ask me to work for more days and give me the keys at work. I'm happy that they find me trustworthy and a good worker. Now, I can…
Tia is not feeling well today. She has a cold. She said she will draw to make her happy. She gets all our names so she can write them down as well. I have to sound it out for her and she laughs when she can't get the letter. It's good to see that drawing/painting makes her happy. I'm giving her lemon juice later. Buy more fruits for her.
'Mango Break' Tia: Mommy can I have mango? Coz you know I really love mango! Hahaha, surely Tia. Oh, she loves to bite and suck the flesh off around the ripe mango seed. Mangoes are rich in vitamin C and A. That's good for her.
Sadly, it's getting cold now and some of the tomatoes are still green. So me and my husband pick them up. They need heat but no point in keeping them in a freezing tunnel house. Until next year again. Hopefully, we can have a good harvest just what we have this year. We are thrilled and thankful for that!
So noise.cash has a small experiment. You must have read it in your notification already but I just saw it now. And I was so excited but frustrated afterwards coz it doesn't seem to work no matter how I tried to move the cursor to rate a post. I was using my phone. Now, here's the thing you have to open your laptop or computer. Because I can see the "next" option that I don't see in my phone when I tried to do so. And I'm done. That's an easy peasy $2! Thank you noise!
Tia this morning, "Mommy, I still have a bad cold. I don't want to get near you coz I don't wanna give my virus to you. I don't want you to get sick." Me: Come here baby, it's okay. And we cuddled up and told her she's getting big because when she's a small baby she can still fit in my arms. Really time flies.
Tia is helping Mummy to cut the parsley to make their Noodle Soup. And she said she is being careful to use the scissor. Don't worry I'm watching her. She requested the spaghetti soup. She wants the curly noodles but we don't have so spaghetti pasta will do. What are you making today?
And here's our Sopas for the kids! Tia proudly tell her brother that she helped me make it. She said she will soon going to cook for our dinner! The best thing she promised, "Mommy I'm gonna buy you a big house with a big kitchen!" Hahaha. That's what Mama wants Tia. Who doesn't want a big kitchen? That's a dream for me. 😁 #food #homecooking
What a beautiful sunset! Jigz just come back from playing football with his friends. Me and Tia are going to the shop to buy a cake. I told her to stay because it's cold but she said she wants to have a walk too. And look how happy she is! And she's like an old woman, every time she sees a bench, she will stop and sit for a while. So here I am waiting till she is good to go.
We didn't get a cake. Our favourite cream cake is not available and so here we are having the oreo doughnuts instead. Me and Tia had a lovely walk. She says hello to everyone on the street and it put a smile on their face. 😁 Good job Tia baby! Let's have a cup of tea!
Hello Good Morning lovely people. It's rainy today and I'm off to work. But I wake up early to prefer breakfast for the family especially the kids. I made English Breakfast for the husband and I cook porridge for Mum and the kids. I also cook rice, sunny side up and ham in case they get hungry before I come home. Have a great day everyone. Keep smiling and keep attracting positive vibes! #food #homecooking
I'm in my passport dilemma. Anyone with the Philippines Passport or anyone who knows of it. Will I be able to fly with my passport valid for less than 6 months? My passport will expire on June 2022. But we're going to Thailand in April, giving me just 2 months validity. Then I'll be going home to renew my passport. If I can't fly straight to Thailand in April, do you think I'll be able to fly home in the Philippines with my passport valid in less than 6 months? I'm confused.…
I'm just out from work and my husband take me out for a road trip as he needs to go to Lisburn to get some wooden pallets which I don't know what's for. And this is a lovely view I took just now while in the car. Stunning isn't it? I would love a house and wake up each morning in front of this magnificent place. What do you think?
I just missed Thailand so I'm having sticky rice and chicken barbecue. And I love how they always have cucumber as a side dish so let me have some as well! I love this on the street, sticky rice and barbecue, it's very delicious. It's not the same as mine. I missed their omelettes and prawns. Food at Thailand's 7-11 is phenomenal! Like I can just stay there and eat. Oh, their sausages and Meiji chocolate drink I love that! I'm happy that there going to open in November.…
I'm installing apps for Tia to help her learn to read (phonics and high-frequency words) and numbers. I'm checking apps with good reviews and checking out myself if it's a good app to help me. Some are really good ones, some I have to uninstall after. Do you have any recommendations? My Tia is 5 and in P1. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for a new day. It may be dull outside but I'm feeling good. Off to work now, this is my last day this week and I'm excited for my day-off even day-off doesn't exist to me at home. That's when you're a parent! But at least I have extra time after. I wish you are having a wonderful day no matter what the sky looks like in your place! Would love to see it too. Show me. Attracting the positive vibes. Enjoy your day!
I'm finished work and doing our groceries shopping. Haha, I've done well today and got an extra £10! It pays to have a positive vibe this morning I attract the £600 sales. I'm so happy. I am tired but worth it. Thank you, Universe! And here I am stopping here in front of these ice creams. They were calling me. Oh, I love ice cream. 😁 Take your pick guys.
My husband said we cannot go on a date today because it's raining. So we just here in front of the McDonald's carpark having our grub. I'm just so hungry haven't eaten all day but I keep myself hydrated. I'll be cooking when I come home. Still doing last stop shopping and Lidl's then that's us heading home. Let me enjoy this now! Not healthy I know. 😜
You can hardly see the Scrabo Tower because of how low fog sitting on the hill as if it's not there. My husband usually said the Scrabo got its hat on when the fog took it away. Last stop husband is getting something for the garage. Tools again perhaps. 🤣 Then that's us done. Finally, I want to lie down and have a rest. I wish. I remember I still have to cook dinner. I'm trying to think now about what to make.
'Colours of Autumn' Here's my favourite colour.. October! Never mind if it means winter is coming. But I love the place ablaze in colours. As the leaves 🍂 started to fall I must enjoy its beauty. Knowing I should see them soon. They're just changing. Nature indeed has the best crayon. And season changes for a reason. Embrace the change! Appreciate its grace, lovely people. (All photos are taken by me.)
Husband said he's missing my omelette. And he's right I've never cooked an omelette for a long time now. So today I'm making his request come true. I love colours in my cooking. If you notice even in Momma's Menu the plate is full of colours. I just love it! So let's make an omelette! How's your evening? And good morning sunshine to the rest! A blessed day to everyone and a wonderful night in my time zone.
'Tia Missed Her Late Lolo' Mom and I are watching "999 What's your Emergency?" And there are really sad ones especially when it's old people. The one we just watched is a 100-year-old woman who fell on the floor and she's alone in the house. Glad she was able to call for help. Then as we continue watching, Tia suddenly said, "Is she going to die?" She sounds so sad and said, "My eyes are watering." Then she started crying to Lola because it shows up in the hospital. And she…
It's meant to be my day off but my boss asked me to work to cover him up as he is not well. I promised the kids I'm going to take them out today but since I have to work first I told their Dad to take them with him when he picks me up. And here we are having ice cream. Tia said ice cream can help her feel better and make her happy. Hahaha. Okay okay, take a pick! Aren't they just happy looking?
After work and when I get in the car this surprised me. My husband said he bought me this because I'm always complaining that I'm hungry. And laugh when he wants me to open one of the chocolates. Hahaha, I asked if he really buy this for me lol. Sharing is caring he said. The funny part is when he asks me to break it for him and give him some. And he said, "You know what it tastes like? It's like your Ferrero." Hahaha I told him it's Ferrero! He must just grab any chocolates…
'Lugaw/Rice Porridge' The perfect comfort food. Made with rice, ginger, onion, garlic and chicken for flavour. Fried garlic, scallions, and egg for toppings. My throat starting to itch and my head is getting heavy. I hope Tia's virus isn't passed on to me. So I put loads of ginger, onion and garlic which are excellent in treating coughs and colds due to it's antibacterial and anti-viral properties. Best food when you're not feeling well and it's not hard to make!…
A beautiful rainbow after the rain. And an extra seagull to make it perfect. It's Saturday and had the longest sleep today this week with Tia. It's my day off after all. We didn't get up until 1 pm. I'm well-rested. Husband even checked if we are still breathing lol. And I'm happy to just be lazy today after my cooking. Just out to go to the chemist and get Mum some Ibuprofen. I'm going to read and write with Tia and reviewing with my son for his upcoming AQE Exam later.…
'Fireworks' Take the kids out to watch the fireworks at Park Lane. I think the whole town is in here. Crowds in the street especially the kids and some are wearing Halloween costumes. Trick or Treat tomorrow. And this is their early treat for everyone tonight. I missed fireworks. I only see this in New Year back home. Do you love fireworks too?
'Chicken Tikka Kebab' Who loves Kebab? We call this Shawarma in the Philippines and I missed Turks badly. So I tried this one from our local shop and got free Poppadoms with it. Yey! It's good and very tasty. Good morning/good evening everyone. #food
'The Blackpool Tower Dungeon' Since tomorrow is Halloween here in the UK, let me share our family experience at The Blackpool Tower Dungeon. This is one of the attractions that you can visit in Blackpool. We visit here last August before the kids went back to school. We are not allowed to record or use our phones inside. And even if I don't think we can as I was shaking and terrified inside but trying to calm myself because I'm with Tia. And my poor baby didn't like it. The…
Last Halloween in the Philippines 3 years ago. Jigz is still skinny and Tia lol she still not a fan of creepy stuff. But surely she loves the treat! She will attend a birthday party tomorrow at Claire's at the shopping centre. It's her classmate who invited her. I hope there's a trick or treat in the shop so she can fill up a bucket! Jigz said she will go with his friends and I will prepare some treats for them and we're gonna watch a film of their choice. It would be fun…
Tia is ready for Halloween! I'm going to take her to the Halloween Birthday party of her classmate at the shopping centre. I laugh as she asks the witch if she can borrow her hat lol so the witch has no hat. Tia borrows the hat from the witch lol now she's more awful looking look at the third picture. A make up she chose like a vampire witch lol. And Jigz will be out later with his friends. He's not ready yet. Happy Halloween everyone! #Halloween2021
We're in the car already heading to the party when I saw the time. I thought it was wrong then the husband sees it too. When you forgot that the time changed and the clock is now 1 hour behind. For goodness sake, we're too early going to the party. It's for 12 noon and just see the clock in the car and it says 10:54 lol. We're an hour early and the shop is still closed. My husband even forget the clock change this morning. We thought it's tonight Hahaha.. Oh well, better…
I didn't know that I have to leave Tia with the rest of the kids at Claire's for the birthday party. Then parents will come back at 1 o'clock to pick them up. Glad I took Jigz with me so I'm not alone. And since we have an hour time, we decided we're going to watch a movie, "Ron's Gone Wrong" Popcorn and drinks and here we are waiting for the movie to start. Daddy just has to pick Tia up at 1 and wait for us for 45 minutes.
"Halloween Fun" Happy Halloween from Tia, Jigz and Me. We're having a bit of fun after watching the movie and Tia after the party. We're all enjoying the day. Just prepare small stuff and dinner in the Halloween theme. How's your day lovely people? #Halloween2021
More fireworks display at Downpatrick and Carryduff and trick and treat for the kids and kids at heart. I'm laughing when I saw a child dressing like a dinosaur and walking so slow. Hahaha. So cute! Halloween is not over yet as the kids are just out knocking on doors. 👻 #Halloween2021
'Sparklers' Ending Halloween with sparklers. We call this Lusis back home and the only thing the kids allowed on different occasions. They got loads of sweets from trick or treating. Ah, they are overjoyed! #Halloween2021
