Ayan, ulam ko minsang nag-lunch kami ni hubby sa mall bago pumasok sa trabaho: Fish and Tofu sa Le Ching Tea House.
Malapot ang sabaw. Malasa. Nakakabusog (ang laki ng kanin kasi).
Siyempre ang nasa isip ng lola nyo, “kaya ko itong lutuin, mas mura at mas marami kahit nakakapagod”. Pero kung minsan, kapag kulang na ang oras, ok na din ang kumain ng walang kapagod-pagod, di ba?
Tara, kain na tayo 🙂

We went to the 31st Manila International Book Fair on its last day which meant yesterday. I was really hoping to still get a bag in the Scholastic Books booth for the “bag-all-you-can” promo.
And I did. Woohoo! My total bill was PhP7,740 but I only paid for PhP995.00. Now what bargain could be better than that? I didn’t get just any books, these are Scholastic Books that we definitely love. Just ask my Geronimo Stilton fans in the house 😉
I got teacher reference books, mostly worksheets for reading comprehension, vocabulary, math, and writing.
We got books from other bookstores like recipe books (there goes the effective weight loss program I plan to start), the Time Almanac for Kids 2010 and 2011 for the son, ghost stories for the older daughter, Chikiting storybooks from Vibal and a Thea Stilton book for the youngest child.

One of the best things to look forward to in June are weddings and here in the Philippines, the opening of classes. Both entail a lot of shopping, attending to details as well as yes, a whole lot of expenditures.
Weddings are wonderful family events. These are even made special when the couple go the distance to look for unique wedding favors (including bridesmaid gifts) as well as make the wedding unique and happy.
The opening of classes is one of the events to look forward to by families especially for those going to the big school for the first time. Many a tears are shed, both by the children and the parents.
June is also a day of celebration for my family since today, June 16, is my dearest mom’s birthday. It is also my parents’ wedding anniversary.
Do you have anything special for the month of June?

I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like seeing the sparkle of dinner candles. I definitely would love to have these on our dinner table but not nearly possible since we always have fans when we eat because of the summer heat.
I have been to several lovely dinner with friends these past weeks. Each and every time we go out is special because we always have something great to talk about.Last night we had a great time during dinner with other bloggers.
