nice to be healthy

It was an amazing day when you realized you did something unique for your loved ones. My kids were not used to eat fruits, so, I made something catchy to increase their appetite. You don't have to spend so much to make your food appealing. It was a great Saturday and I do have quality time to prepare 'twas a perfect day for me! A simple moment where I can treasure bonding with my kids. Thanks for the amazing food presentation coz they really have the appetite I expected to. Wow! am sure anybody can do all these preparations especially for the Moms out there who were fond of doing kitchen things. Hmmm... yummy!

A Birthday Surprise

It was July 3, 2009 at 7:00 o'clock in the evening when Mom arrived home with lots of fun and surprises waiting for her...Her best friend Ate Flo went to her office to pick her up. Unfortunately, I was not able to fix things up so I called up Ate Flo and informed her to do something so that Mom will not go home early. I'm glad Ate Flo has a brilliant idea to pretend she was not feeling well. She told Mom she need to rest coz she felt dizzy and can't manage herself to drive Mom home. So, my Mom calmed her up and gave her some drink and let her stay for a while. Mom was so worried about her visitors coz she invited few people from the church. When I texted Ate Flo that everything was fixed, they immediately rushed home. So, I asked somebody to stay at the gate of our house to look over for Mom's arrival and see to it that she will be blindfolded. Mom then entered our house with a blindfold. When we instructed her to take it off, we saw her in big surprise! She cried a lot! This was the first time Mom could celebrate a big party all throughout her life. She can't figure out how much happiness we brought her. Another surprise for Mom was seeing her two grandchildren from Davao City together with her daughter-in-law. Mom shed her tears again and again. I told Mom it's not yet over coz we still have lots of surprises for her. My sister Billie who came home for vacation went out from her room. Mom saw her and cried again coz she never expected her to come. And lastly, my brother Art who travelled from Manila came out and hug Mom. What a lovely surprise... I think this is the only way we could pay her back after all her efforts and sacrifices...

A FRUITY SUNDAY

I thank GOD for d gift of wisdom! I'm so thankful to HIM for giving me such a wonderful & extraordinary cooking skills. I should say it's not just a skill but it's a blessing that only few could ever possessed!

der's always a first time...

Today is Friday... we used to call it FLY DAY coz everybody flies (hehehe) but here I am keeping myself busy with my virtual farm (an online game on Facebook). The truth is, I find it difficult to post this blog coz it's my first time...I am not really good in writing yet am trying. I believed there's no harm in trying right? I've been through two bachelor courses (BS Management, BS in Nursing), three vocational (Beauty Culture & Aesthetician, Caregiving Course & Stenography) and two semesters in the College of Law yet I end up nothing! I kept on telling myself maybe I was destined to be a chef.. sounds like I'm a dreamer yet it's the dictate of my heart & my mind..
