…ang batang bagong panganak, gustuhin mang maglakad hindi pa pwede.

….hanggang karga o kalong lamang.

O di kaya ay…kuna ang kababagsakan nito.

ngayon…kung literal na lakad naman ang gusto ninyo…

…hayan:)
yours truly…NAGLALAKAD! lol! kuha pa rin sa Connecticut ang lahat ng mga larawan na ito. a very recent LAKAD. nasan ang park? ewan ko ba..hahaha!

dinner spread during Markie’s Christening.

In any or most Filipino parties, there’s almost always PANCIT or Noodles. This one is Pancit Bihon, one of the most preferred type of noodle dishes served in any gathering. truly PINOY. YUM!

…and of course let’s not forget the PORK BBQ!!! double YUM!!!!
Ito ay ang handa noong nakaraang Linggo sa binyag ng anak ng pamangkin ko na pinuntahan namin sa Connecticut. Anak ng pamangkin…great aunt nalang ok! hindi lola!!!! hahaha!

at marahil alam naman nating lahat na ang anumang handaang Pinoy ay one to sawa! ito ay kuha ng mga hapon pa lamang, ngunit inabot ng hanggang pasado alas dose ng gabi!

ang BBQ, paborito ng mga bata. kaya maski na umaaso pa sa init ay di na napigilang kumuha ng tig-isang stick!:)

na may temang…HAPUNAN! mangan ta!:) chow time! bon appetit! kain tayo! let’s dig in!!!

…again, this was made by my daughter, S. out of the box, yes. but she prepared them on her own! not steamed as how we usually make PUTO [rice cakes], but i helped her stash ‘em in the oven. quick, easy..instant craving satiated!

…di pa siya nakuntento…nilagyan pa ng kaunting red food color ang 2nd batch!:) and of course i’ve had a too much of ‘em, so much so that i just might need some diet pills after! yikes!
Lahok para sa
na may temang…MERIENDA.

Sardines…as they say is one poor man’s meal. maybe. not so when it is cooked the way M did a few weekends ago…think prawns, wonton noodles and fresh basil! could be something you will find in a fine dining restaurant even! don’t i just love having a very creative and great cook husband?

SARDINES and PRAWN with FRESH BASIL WONTOn NOODLE SOUP
Ang SARAP!!! subukan ninyo! ang ginisang sardinas…naging gourmet!:)

S’s very first attempt on baking all on her own! it may be out of the box, but now i know somebody has followed our footsteps! at least gastronomically speaking…she did everything by herself! from opening the box to using the mixer and frosting [not in photo], even to washing the baking tools that she used!
sinigurado ko na maging ang paghuhugas ay dapat nyang matutunan at gawin para malaman nya ang lahat ng steps na nakapalibot sa pagluluto o pag-b-bake.
it all came out as a success! from the super moist and soft cupcake to the washed utensils/tools! big girl. mah girl.:)
ang aking almusal the very next day…paired with a cup of coffee! delicious!:)

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!

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

at first glance…
iisipin mo na ito ay hindi inuming pangbata…more specifically parang BEER hindi ba?

…paano kung nakita mong ang umiinom nito ay isang paslit? tulad ng aking bunso…NAKAKAKILABOT hindi ba?
ok, ok…hindi rin! haha! i tried! pagpasensyahan na po ninyo..this is the best i can come up with:) btw…this is just rootbeer soda!:)

it is in fact a wonderful summer-y week we are basking in, and it’s such a pity if we spend the day indoors. since we’ve had our share of muggy if not oh-so-wet days last week, we are blessed with such a welcoming warm and dry days this time.

if you remember, itong pine na ito rin ang entry ko last week for the WET theme…yun nga lang this time…tuyong tuyo na siya…:)

see what i mean? now we’re off again to embrace the last nicer day of the week! kasi mukhang bibisitahin na naman kami ng ulan bukas!:(

with a DRY/TUYO theme.

Summer in Massachusetts this year hasn’t been how it was last year. We’ve had our own share of Seattle-like weather conditions, I tell ya! Somebody told me..welcome to New England! but it’s not supposed to be like this during this time of year, right? even in this part of the country!

Ilang linggo na rin kaming inuulan kung kailan bakasyon pa naman ang mga bata! Mabuti nalang noong nakaraang weekend, gumanda ganda ang panahon in time for the 4th of July celebration at kami ay nakapamasyal din sa isang theme park at naki BBQ sa aming kapitbahay na si tita Stel! thankies again!:)

…munti kong pangarap ngayon ang makunan ng larawan ang buwan ng malapitan. but i don’t have the proper gear for that, just yet.:( kaya heto na lamang. the moon’s reflection over the ocean. taken during our haphazard Maine weekend get-away.

…at isang mumunting buwan. sorry peeps, that’s the best i can do!:) wala pa akong dalang tripod! hala! halos magkanda-bali ang likod ko jan ha haha! shakey shot pa rin:(…
