Matagal-tagal ko ding hinanap ito kaya laking tuwa ko nung matagpuan ko at matikmang muli: coco jam. Sa totoo lang, noong ako ay batang paslit, ayoko nito kasi mabaho, lalo na yung kending makunat na nakabalot sa puting papel, Yuck talaga! Amoy langis ng niyog.

Sige na nga, heto na ang paboritong almusal namin: tinapay na may manipis na palamang coco jam at/o peanut butter. Kelangan yung me buo-buong mani at mamantikang peanut butter ha (argh!)

Coco Jam, Peanut Butter and Bread for Breakfast

Bakit nga ba manipis? Kasi matamis ang coco jam at dapat manipis lang para di magsawa agad.

Siyempre di pwedeng walang kape.

Ayan, kumpleto na ang araw naming mag-asawa 🙂  Tsalap!

Coco jam, peanut butter and wheat bread are all from Pan de Manila. No, this is not a paid ad though a big white paper bag full of pandesal is very much welcome, lol.

Ang saya (kahit hindi ako nakababa diyan dahil ako ay may sprained ankle) ng mga bata nung kami ay huminto sa tabi ng daan upang sila ay makaranas ng paglalakad sa tubig  ng ilog!

Tidying Up After the Christmas Season

Posted on January 3, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Have you tidied up already? Today is the last day of the Christmas season and tomorrow is going to be back to work and school for most people.

I am supposed to put down the Christmas tree today but I can’t. I have a swollen ankle and I can’t be up and about.

The house needs a lot of tidying up. The ceramic tiles need some scrubbing with soap to remove those sticky food leftovers that fell on it. The kitchen needs some a lot of cleaning. This library needs to be dusted.

Why I feel tired just thinking about how much cleaning I need to do I might end up looking for someone who will do this for me since I am not sure when I can be mobile effortlessly.

Sigh, what a way to start the year. I hope there is a hidden surprise after everything is well and good with my foot. My plans to go back to my morning walks is not gonna happen soon.

Pasasalamat

Pasasalamat. Salamat.

Nativity Chapel of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral

Ako ay isa sa mga taong nahubog na may pananampalataya sa Panginoong Diyos.

Dahil sa magkahalong impluwesiya ng simbahang Katolika sa aking paaralan at paniniwalang Protestante sa aking pamilya at kinalakihang simbahan, naintindihan ko kung paano hindi magiging sabagal ang relihiyon sa pamumuhay at pagtugon sa mga tungkulin bilang isang Kristiyano at bilang isang responsableng mamamayan.

Isa lang iyan sa aking pinag-uukulan ng pasasalamat.

Ang pamilya, ang kalayaang mangarap at magkaroon ng pagkakataon upang matupad ang mga iyon , at mga pagkakataong pag-isipan ang kalagayan ng iba sa pamamagitan ng malayang pagsusulat, iyan ay ilan lamang sa listahan ng mga dapat kong ipagpasalamat.

Ang pasasalamat ay hindi lamang kumakatawan sa katagang nagsasabi ng pagtanggap at pagkilala sa mga bagay-bagay na nagawa hindi lang para sa ikabubuti ng sarili ngunit para din sa kapakanan ng marami.

Sa iyo na nagbabasa nito, isang taos-pusong pasasalamat ang aking ibinibigay ng may ngiti. Nawa ay maging maligaya at puno ng pagpapala ang darating na taon para sa iyo at iyong pamilya.

Motorcycle Safety

Posted on December 30, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Hubby’s motorcycle had a bit of a problem last week.

He was able to scour motorcycle shops for something he needed to make it run. No, it does not have any mechanical breakdown insurance of sorts so he pays for whatever is broken and what needs to be repaired.

I do not particularly like the thought of him riding that two-wheeled ride because I fear for his safety. Sometimes he does not seem to see my reasons why I feel as such.

I trust his driving skills and quick judgment but I do not trust the other drivers on the road.

There I said it.
