…we met up with my cousin Joseph from Seattle over the weekend and had another chance to have a delicious meal at WAGAMAMA. and yes, i still ordered their creamy and slightly spiCy Ebi Kare Lomen and of course paired with a cold bottle of Asahi…the marriage of rainy days and a hearty and warm soup? one can never go wrong with that.
strolling around Boston…you won’t miss Legal Sea Foods right around the wharf.
…along the Marina.
…right by the Aquarium is the ‘T’ sign. Boston’s version of the LRT or MRT or NY’s subway.
…it was a gorgeous rainy day with overcast clouds. that didn’t stop me from shooting though:)
…really? does anyone need a signage for this? only custom headlights! pardon the photo as i was shooting while in a moving ca[h]r!

…ang batang bagong panganak, gustuhin mang maglakad hindi pa pwede.
….hanggang karga o kalong lamang.
O di kaya ay…kuna ang kababagsakan nito.
An entry to …na may temang…LAKAD!
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!:)
Lahok para sa na may temang…HAPUNAN! mangan ta!:) chow time! bon appetit! kain tayo! let’s dig in!!!
This may not be my favorite restaurant especially when i crave for seafood, but it poses to be a most eye-catching FOOD SIGN for a lobster spot, don’t you agree? Needless to say, we lurve LOBSTERS!… who doesn’t really? pardon me, i know i have posted a lot on these crustaceans, mostly home-cooked. still, i opted for this photo on this week’s theme, even if it’s a little noisy. too far and my hands are shaky from starvation! i guess. hee!
…the place is called The Weathervane, located in Kittery, Maine. My choice that day was something out of the ordinary. that would mean, not just steamed or grilled whole or cut in half…but one that looks like a pie. hence, it is called Lobster Pie!:)
…for the price, i must admit it’s not all worth the deviation from the humongous shellfish that i was accustomed to greeting me on my plate. taste-wise…a 6.5. overall…i told myself i can even do this myself! oh well…lesson learned. wicked, yes..if we talk about the come-on signage. cheap? not at all.
is a weekly FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme, Pinoy style!
had a wonderful long holiday weekend starting off with a trip to Salem, New Hampshire…particularly Canobie Lake Park. the kids had so much fun! and the day ended with some fireworks display. we waited until around 9:30 just for this. t’was all worth the wait, as they say!:)
i told you i took a lot of photos when we got stuck in traffic here at this bridge, before, after, during stops..you name it. but this would be a couple of the most memorable as this caused us a couple of hours more on the road due to bumper to bumper traffic jam. the only good thing about it is that now i can use those photos for memes like this! hee!:)

…these overcast sky photos were taken one of those unpredictable days in Virginia during our very recent spring break trip there. the reason why we weren’t really able to go to other planned trips around the area. it was a rainy week, it turned out…which ruined our much anticipated visit to Virginia Beach…and a return to Washington DC.

What would be more exciting during the coming summer season than go to a place where we’ve never been before. That would be a lot, I know. But there is one state that I am really interested in seeing and that is Colorado. I have heard so much about this wonderful place, mostly from a friend and M’s relative who resides there…but we never really had the opportunity to give it that much thought. Now that I saw this website, I feel like I am going to be doing whatever it takes to convince M and plan a vacation there during the summer break. This is a very good time since the kids will be off from school and we can plan a longer stay. Plus, this time of year is also the perfect time to enjoy the beaming beauty of the mountains of Colorado, so they say.
Although the winter time would also be a great experience especially for the kids due to its breathtaking snow covered mountain sights and probably get into some skiing activities for the very first time, I feel that the summer also has a lot to offer for people looking for that perfect vacation spot like we do. Most especially now that they have a lot of summertime activities and promotions, this mountain community in fact has in line a 20 weekend festivals and events this coming summer that is worth checking out. Also, you can visit the Telluride Tourism site for such specials like the “4th Flies Free” which offers a 4th ticket free when you purchase 3 on the same flight. That would be perfect!…just perfect for all 4 of us! Weee! Right there and then you can even search and reserve your lodging plus your summer or winter activities.
What am I up to right now, you might ask? It has got to do with the coming long weekend. Memorial day weekend is like less than 2 weeks from today and we are planning on another road trip. Now…why you might ask again? It’s M’s nth birthday on Saturday! Yay! And guess what, he’s working overtime during the weekend! Both days…Saturday and Sunday, yay?!? So it is quite a good decision to celebrate the weekend after which falls on a long weekend holiday with a much anticipated family travel to Maine! Yay…again!
I am so glad I bumped into this website where I found all the details I need to finalize this trip. In fact I have discovered a very reasonable and promising location in Freeport with amenities that include free continental breakfast, wireless internet access, with a nearby beach and picnic area and cable TV which are just a few of our top priorities whenever we go for a vacation. This page too has so much more to offer from traveling safely especially driving with kids and babies guides and tips, a page for cute baby gears and special articles about traveling with babies. Most importantly, I can make reservations for the trip directly from the site right about now! Yay, fun!
…i have mentioned in this blog that weekends are my days off in the kitchen. this past mother’s day weekend is no exception…more so if i must say, right?
kaya naman heto ang isa sa mga niluto ni M to cap the whole brouhaha. hee! nang matapos ang pagpapasarap ng isang ina. isang masarap na pizza, pasta and those Buitoni Wild Mushroom Agnolotti that i got to taste-test care of Foodbuzz for free! it was totally awesome! Raviolis are another must have in our kitchen, even the kids love ‘em! anyway, everything [except for the ravioli] was good and homemade by M…which meant a lot more than anything else, korek?
…this on the other hand, ay larawan ng isa sa mga tunnels na dinaanan namin pauwi ng Massachusetts nang matapos ang aming kamakailang bakasyon sa Virginia.
