quiet time

there are days when you just want to spend a quiet time in your own room, but when you're living in your in laws house (like i am), sometimes there's no such thing as quiet time. sigh... there will always be people who knock on your locked door, or watch tv in the room, or just come in and clean up a bit. so, quiet time sort of becomes obsolete, unless you're in the bathroom.

one of the things i started to do is to try to fix the bathroom up a bit. since i spend most of my quiet time in there anyway. i talk to my live plant all the time, maybe that's why it's grown in the past month it's been with me. or maybe it's because of all the smoke it gets when vincent is in there. oh well, whatever it is, i hope it won't die on me.

happy father's day

this is migs' father's day gift to his papa. it made vincent's day! i'm glad that migs' teachers thought of this project/ artwork for father's day. and i'm glad that migs was able to hide this and give it to his papa on this day.

after lunch in farmer's market dampa in cubao, migs gave this to vincent upon returning home. the smile on hubby's face said it all. he was surprised and was really happy.

too bad mother's day falls in summer. but hopefully, my migs can start creating his own art masterpieces at home :)

to vincent, happy father's day. you are the best! and as migs recorded on my phone, "happy father's day, i love you. mwah!"

cooking

my mom is a great cook. so are all three of my brothers. unfortunately, i haven't discovered my talent in cooking. baking, yes, but not cooking. it's a whole different ballgame. it's not based on measurements but on the taste, so one really has to taste the food they cook.

the past few weeks have been an adventure for me in cooking. my MIL is out of town and i had to learn how to cook for my migs and hubby. it's a good thing my mom and brothers are just a phone call away. they gave me tips and tricks on cooking adobo, tinola, giniling, and sinigang. and i must say, they all turned out yummy.

so, i say thank you to my "mentors." hopefully, i get to master these recipes and more. one more thing, it's great to be living near a supermarket. i can get all the ingredients i need in a jiffy!

igorot costume

my hubby went to baguio a few weeks back and bought a kid's igorot costume for migs. it was only yesterday that he agreed to wear it so here are some pics. although he wore it, he didn't want to wear it without his underpants. cute noh? :)

my migs, future doctor?

coming off from the human body discussion with my migs, i decided to buy him a book that can offer some form of sustenance for his never ending thirst for knowledge.

i saw this activity book at toy kingdom. it was priced at around php350 or so. it contains reusable stickers, 1 book, and 1 double sided activity board.

migs had fun sticking the stickers to the board and finding out where his body parts are. i think it's worth every cent i paid for. good find!
