…we have learned to love the quaint atmosphere of Newport, Rhode Island. kaya kung may pagkakataon, ito ang GUSTO naming balikan muli…

maraming turista ang nagpupunta dito dahil nar in siguro sa dahilang tinatawag na Ocean state ang Rhode Island. marami ang na-e-engganyong pumasyal sa may dagat. bukod doon, marami ring mga shopping-an!:)

An entry to Litratong Pinoy…GUSTO!

…marahil ang tanong ninyo ngayon ay…ano ang ginagawa ng pagmumukha ng anak ko dito sa temang ito? simple! isa sa mga disadvantage ng pagiging self-proclaimed mommyrazzi ay ang katotohanang ang mga anak natin ay sawang sawa nang naririnig ang pangalan nila para lamang makunan sila ng larawan. maya maya, paulit ulit. smile, look…ayaw na ayaw na nilang marinig yang mga katagang yan! hindi ba totoo? as in!!! kaya naman ang picture na ito ay nagbigay ng kaligayahan sa akin, dahil paminsan minsan sinuswerte ako na para bagang may instant SWITCH ON ang mga anak ko at bigla nalang silang makikisama sa kanilang mommy, and i get to capture these precious moments…so to speak. sarap ng pakiramdam!…pero may isa pa akong lahok! eto ang aking paboritong gadget ever! ang aking ever reliable Iphone……isang pindot lamang dito, kung saan saan na ako nakakarating! mapa umaga pag gising…sa gabi, bago matulog…maging sa gitna ng gabi kapag ako ay nagising, kinakapa ko ito sa ilalim ng unan ko at ..hello! PINDOT ulit! hehe!lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy…PINDOT/SWITCH!

…we will be having more fun in the sun! can’t wait for summer to finally come. but i’d settle for spring for now too!:)
what should’ve been a photo of the day is again turning out to be a Photo of the Week now! sheesh!:) soon!

…i am starting a photo of the day posting here on my blog. it will keep me blogging, i hope. taken yesterday while a neighbor was cleaning up his car and i was in the kid’s room.

…on days like this, any kind of warm and hearty soup would be great!

…Saturday mornings, more often than not is our ‘you-me-while-the-kids-do-karate’ time as a couple or something like that.  our less than an hour gastronomic date. or shall i say, our ONLY date a week if we’re lucky enough. as simple as it is,  we definitely love it and always look forward to this ‘luxury’ that we are blessed with.

shades anyone?

hindi naman masyadong halata na may kaunti akong hilig sa shades ano? bukod sa proteksyon na ibinibigay nito sa akin, ehhh….maarte lang talga ako! wahahaha!

An entry to na may temang…PROTEKSYON. my take. protect your eyes from the sun’s glare!:)

food. service. atmosphere. price. accessibility. these are just a few considerations we take whenever we want to get away from home made meals, even away from our daily routine.  foodie or not, we find dining out to be synonymous to celebrations and more  often than not… luxurious, most especially during this economic crunch we are in right now. we cannot factor out the damage involved whenever we try to be fancy and eat out.

where do you usually go for a quick fix meal? what tops your fine dining escapades? where is that joint that simply hits the spot? which restaurant offers the most affordability, food selection and satisfaction all at the same time?

that would be IHOP for us. we have always been fascinated by big serving and wide variety not to mention pocket-friendly breakfast smorgasbord. that sounds so 70’s, haha! speaking of which…atmosphere-wise, IHOP’s interior design is like it has been stuck in that era. that is the only drawback for me. i mean, you can maintain a certain appeal but there is always room for enhancements and improvements, not necessarily modernization. but the negativity ends there. sorry not really ranting from here onwards…

Food. service. price. accessibility. check. check. check.check!:) ironically, we often go to International House Of Pancakes for dinner [and yes, with that free jug of coffee]. Tuesday dinner, to be more precise. why? it’s kids-eat-free day! that makes dining at IHOP so sweet, all the more!
