snowy

soon

…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!

pain relief

Sleeping in one bed is starting to become a pain. Not even if it’s a king sized bed, 4 people in one bed is never a good idea. Sweet but never convenient. I have to figure out a way to make the kids sleep in their own beds regularly soon, that is if I want to get joint pain relief as fast as I can. Painful and sad as it may be, even if that would mean getting used to sleeping without the kids beside me and having a hard time sleeping…I must do this.

…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.

spotty

…what the kids had for breakfast today. Champorado with milk spots. S’s favorite breakfast, lunch, dinner! haha!

a comfort food for her especially on this snow spotted day. natuluan ng tubig ang snow sa deck kaya
naging batik batik.

…my snow-spotted car. and at times like these, I can only dream of the sun and spending the day in those Miami Beach condos!

do critique!

ang band ring na ito ay akin! akin na ngayon. malungkot man isipin, ibinigay ito sa akin ng mama ko noong huling bisita nila dito sa amin sa Massachusetts halos 2 taon na ang nakakaraan. alam nya na type na type ko itong singsing na ito, dahil kanya ito. maski na inaalok nya sa akin ito noon, hindi ko tinatanggap dahil alam kong gusto rin nya ito. ang nakapagtataka nga lang pilit nya itong ibinigay sa akin sa kahuli hulihang pagkakataon. hindi ko rin alam kung bakit sa panahong iyon, akin na rin itong tinanggap. malungkot. na masaya kasi napasa-aKIN na rin itong minimithi kong palamuti!

an entry to Litratong Pinoy…with the theme…AKIN. and for more bling action, i discovered this nifty unique gifts for her accessories that would be good for anyone who loves artisan hand-crafted jewelries.

Signs [Litrato]

…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!

Lahok para sa na may temang…KARATULA.

Lasang Pinoy Sundays: freestyle

Let me start with the warmest thank you to all of you who dropped by FISHBALLZinc’s FISHbook page hee! and for adding it on your fan pages!!! MWAH MWAH to y’all! M cannot extend his gratitude enough for your kindness.

this on the other hand is M’s very recent addition to the page…the Anatomy of Pinoy Street Food. As mentioned in our previous meme,  any suggestions and comments are most welcome.  Are we missing out on something? btw, thanks to Ms.K, Karen of Pots and Pans for correcting that ISAW part:) isaw is apparently the small intestines.  so what’s the large intestine called?  do we see it on the streets too?

Just a short reminder:
We are on anything goes mode for the whole month of September…whatever your hearts [and palates] desire! My apologies too for slacking a bit on my rounds…i have been slumped the past couple of months. and i know this month as well won’t be any different mainly due to the start of school again this coming Wednesday. Thank you for your patience.

is a weekly thematic FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme. Pinoy style!

a walk in the park [Litrato]

…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!

Puto [Litrato]

…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.
