Ang Pagtatapos, Bow!

Posted on May 14, 2009 by greenbucks| 28 Comments

Isang malaking karangalan ang makapagtapos sa isang lebel ng pag-aaral, ito man ay preschool, mababang paaralan, mataas na paaralan, kolehiyo o graduate school. It is a great honor to finish a level of schooling, be it preschool, elementary school, high school or graduate school.

Pero ang aking ipinagtataka ay ang kalabisan ng ilang mga paaralan sa lebel ng pag-aaral ng mga bata. Paano ba naman, yung iba, kapag nagtapos ng Prep sa preschool, kung hindi ika-dalawang taon ng nag-aral (Kinder at Prep), ito ay ikatlong taon kaya (Nursery, Kinder at Prep) o kaya, ito ay ika-apat na taon na niyang pag-aaral (Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Kinder at Prep). One thing that really baffles me is that schools want to earn so much that by the time a student finishes preschool, he or she has already been studying for what, 2, 3 or 4 years already?

Red Ribbon’s Creamy Carbonara

Posted on May 7, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Carbonara is one of the absolute favorite dishes at home that I love to cook for my family. Whether we are celebrating a special occasion or we are just having something light for dinner, this is one dish that is on top of our list of favorites to have.

I have, in fact, been using the same recipe I got for years and I feel its time to do some modifications with the dish. I am not sure how the children and/or the hubby will react if I do so.

When I have tasted the new Red Ribbon‘s Creamy Carbonara though, I knew this is one dish that we should try as soon as the children get back from their vacation: this carbonara and the other newly improved meal being offered.

The creamy carbonara has, as a side dish, a slice of bread with herbs. The smell alone of this bread is reaaaally good.Yes, I smelled the bread before biting it 😀

The carbonara, on the other hand has chicken, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese. It is also topped with parsley.

I will try to do this creamy carbonara and I hope I will come close to the taste that they have developed. If not, we will just hie off to the nearest branch which is just a stone throw away from where we are, lol!.

I love the creamy goodness of the new Red Ribbon Creamy Carbonara! 🙂

Phase 2 Project: Segment 8.1 Connecting Mindanao Avenue to NLEX

Posted on May 7, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Simula pa lang ng paggawa ng malaking kalye malapit sa amin.

Noong Lunes ay isinarado na ang daan na dinadaanan namin kaya iikot na kami sa matrapik na palengke. Pero sige lang, pagkatapos naman nito (kung matatapos agad) ay magiging mas maaliwalas ang aming pag-uwi. Wala naman sana problema kung hindi nagsasara ng gate yung katabing subdibisyon mula 10am – 5pm at 10pm – 6am para hindi na kaya naipilitan kami umiikot ng malayo. Hmph.

Importante ang daan na ito kasi mismo si PGMA (S)cares ay dumalo sa groundbreaking ceremonies noong nakaraang buwan (kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko).

Pasensiya na po, malabo, umaandar kasi kami at may tint pa ang salamin.

Anyway… (pakibasa po hanggang bago magdulo, nandun ang climax)

Ang major road na ito ay mag-uugnay ng Mindanao Avenue sa NLEX or North Luzon Expressway. Heto ang isa pang link tungkol sa project.

Alam nyo ba kung magkano ang 2.8 kilometer na daang ito? 1.5 billion pesos lang naman.

Kung ito ay idi-divide sa 2.8 kilometers, pumapatak na 535 million++ pesoses for less than a kilometer ang presyo ng daan na yan. Sosyal di ba?

Twing! Twing! (Tunog ng cash register yan, lol!)

Huli man daw at magaling eh huli pa din, hehehe. Di naman masyado kasi Huwebes pa din naman, medyo busy lang kasi kaya hindi nakagawa ng post.

We all see different buildings, like churches. Iba’t ibang klase ng gusali ang ating nakikita, merong simbahan:

There are also school buildings. Meron ding paaralan:

And a myriad of different buildings for whatever purpose these were built for. At iba’t ibang klaseng mga gusaling itinayo sa kung ano pa man ang purpose nito:
