Need New Pillows

I was changing the sheets this morning and I noticed the pillows we bought November last year has gone sagged and no longer as fluffy as it used to be. It was even a bit expensive, I was kind of disappointed that its fluffiness didn’t even last a year. I’m thinking of buying new pillows this month when I buy my sons school stuff and thinking of getting body pillows. I wonder which brand is the best one to buy so I wont be having regrets the 2nd time.

Favorite!

I woke up this Saturday morning to the smell of my favorite dish H is cooking. For the longest time its been a while since he cooked Tiger Prawns in oyster sauce. I know it was a treat for me since it will be Mothers Day tomorrow. I was one happy camper eating my most favorite meal today. Speaking of Mothers Day, I need to call my mom in a bit to greet her on this special day. I wonder what I should give her this time.

Fountain For The Garden

It was terribly hot the past few weeks and I admit I am now close to having an airconditioning installed at home. One Sunday afternoon H and I are discussing abut water fountains and how it brings CHI to the home. I jokingly asked him if we can put one atleast one water features like the water fountain and he says its a great idea but no budget at this time. I hope this really hot weather ends soon because as far as I know May is the start of the rainy months. Well, its just wishful thinking for now I guess.

Bihon On A Sunday

It’s really quite some time now since we have noodles for a Sunday meal. My Bother-in-law used his secret recipe on bihon noodles that he knew eversince. It was not the restaurant type of noodle recipe that you might think it is but just a simple house recipe that we all loved. It is a simple combination of pork, veggies, soy sauce and bihon noodles, nothing extra ordinary on its ingredients. But it was an extra ordinary meal for us since this is noodle recipe that had been missed so much! Last time we had noodles like this was 2 years ago – now that makes it extra ordinary!

Summer Bug

It is the summer season in the Philippines and it is extremely hot like everyone, every household has installed air conditioning units and cooling systems like electric fans are certainly not on sale. It is just so annoying that even insects are all over the place. I remeinded H to buy Indoor Stink Bug Trap during grocery as we really badly need one nowadays. I just hope it gets cooler soon as I dont know when I would be able to bear this heat.

Juan for All, All for Juan

One of the nation’s favorite noon time show decided to make our area as it’s location for their One for all, All for one game. Several weeks before, we saw one of their mobile transmitters making signal checks and this surely indicated that the game will be made in our area. Yesterday, the show advance party staff is in our street, asking things and giving registration forms. Of course, we register and submitted plastic bottles in our barangay hall, as part of our help for the cleanliness of the community. These plastic bottles will be used to make plastic school chairs that are donated in public schools to augment the nation’s deficit on school chairs. This game helps the community to be clean, assist the public school needs and best of all, gives new hope to the lucky winners. We salute you!

Gift For Mom

It is almost mothers day and I am thinking of getting something for my mom on that special day. Nothing too expensive but of course the thought is what counts. I am thinking of getting her something cashmere like a shawl for the cold season. I know she will love to have one of those elegant cashmere shawls that even I drool over when I see them. Luckily a friend recommended a site that has womens cashmere gifts and have found the perfect gift for mom. Just cant wait to give her the gift.

Summer Breakdowns

For the past several weeks, it’s been hot hot days, actually it’s day and night. Whatever the time, it pure hot temperature, even hotter when get out of the house, it’s all day clear blue skies and shining hot sun. Summer time is definitely here and it will last for the next 5-6 weeks. When its hot, you surely crave for anything cool or cold, with this our no-frost refrigerator is on 100% capacity. Keeping our food, snacks, drinks and water cold and fresh.

Then the not so good thing happened. The no-frost refrigerator just stopped working after I heard a squeking sound just before one morning. The compressor losses oil and freon same time because of a leak on one of the tubing connections, which also causes the compressor to malfunction completely. The solution is replacement of new compressor that will take 4 days to complete. Now, we shall endure the heat and rely on cold ice from the convenient store. We are looking forward to the day the no-frost refrigerator will be delivered back at home.

Motorcycle Rules

Finally after several years, the government has implemented safety precautions over the country when riding the motorcyle. They have put blue lanes on roads an advised everyone that slippers while riding the motorcycle is no longer allowed and helmets are a must. I think its about time that these rules are to be implemented and I am sure everyone is happy with this. My colleague who brings his motorcycle at work even bought new shoei helmets from Leatherup.com . This made me think of buying our own motorcycle but H is not approved of the idea.

Sunday Take Outs

Every week we have the habit of preparing lunch with grilled meat or fish, some veggies and rice. Since we are all tired and happy from  yesterday’s swimming fun. We are all still having good time in sleeping and resting our muscles. We simply prepared steamed rice and side dish veggies. For our main viand, we decided to take out grilled fish. In fact, it is two grilled fish, milkfish and tilapia with veggies, spices and local herb fillings. Any grilled viand for a Sunday lunch is good, having two different grilled fish is better.
