Drawing ni Bunso

litratongpinoy

Hayaan nyo na aking ipakita,

larawang iginuhit isang Linggo ng umaga.

Ako’y nagulat at namangha,

aba ano ito, at mukhang napakaganda!

Marunong yata ang batang paslit,

ang kanyang kamay para sa pagguhit.

Ama at ina tunay na masaya,

at ang bata naman malaki ang tuwa.

Si Bunso ay nag-7yo nung Disyembre.

Traditional Anniversary Symbols

I was looking for the title of each anniversary year and landed on this wonderful site: Wedding Anniversary. I love browsing the pages here, looking for ideas about celebrating anniversaries. Not so long ago i wrote an article about celebrating wedding anniversaries too.

Anyway, here is the list of anniversary symbols.

For someone practical like me, I have no need for fancy things because I know what I need: fitness equipment! 😀

I’m serious.

Backyard Gardening Ulit

litratongpinoy

Balak ko simulan muli ang aking nasirang backyard garden.

rusty trowel

Bakit ika nyo? kasi naghihinayang ako bumili ng tanglad (lemongrass) tuwing magluluto kami ng tinola at tahong na may sabaw. Pati na ring tuwing iinum kami ng pinakuluang tubig na may dahon nito, tipong tsaa, lalagyan na lang ng honey at mint leaves (may tanim din ako nito pero namatay din) para manamis-namis.

Ang basil na mabango ihalo sa ulam at masarap din sa pasta, wala na.

Miss ko na din ang aking mga okra at ampalaya.

Kelan kaya magkakatotoo ang balak ko na ito? Sana malapit na, kahit na tagtuyo pa naman o El Nino ang darating na summer.

Cool Nights + Hot Days = Allergy

The nights and early mornings have been very cool since last month and I should be thankful. Well, I am thankful with that except that mid-morning till mid-afternoon the weather becomes very hot. Hence the headache, allergy attack and asthma attack for my son. Sigh…

As early as now the children are hinting about getting an inflatable pool (yes, we don’t have to get a pool and/or spa filter for this)  now that our water supply is better. Finally, I think we can get one for them now 😀

I can bear with the aches and pains for now for I know that these too shall pass. And until summer is not officially here,  we are going to enjoy the cool weather especially at night.

Coco Jam and Peanut Butter

litratongpinoy

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.
