The other side of Jeff

This is my youngest son Mark Jeffrey. His classmates call him Mark, others are Jeff. In school, he's quite serious, thoughtful and very responsible (that's according to his adviser). Here in our home, he's very playful, has a good sense of humor, he always laugh and joke around with Yeye. He is serious when we are studying or doing homeworks, he knows that he has to study well. Pero siyempre, I let him play and enjoy his childhood, minsan lang maging bata and I won't deprive him of those things. He's a cool boy! Dito sa shop namin ay kilala niya halos lahat ng customers namin (ang lakas ng PR ng batang ito) minsan ako pa ang nagtatanong sa kanya kung ano ang pangalan ng customer na nakalimutan ko ang name. Minsan tinatago niya yung mga tsinelas nung players, pag-aalis na ay nahihilo sa kakahanap, hehehe... pero sinasaway niya ang mga ito kapag nagmumura "don't say bad words" sigaw niya.

Ang bait ba?

Anyway, here are the other side of Jeff :)

Taken last Saturday, while waiting for the birthday celebrant Yana

Nag-request na kunan ko daw siya ng picture, hehehe...

Last Wednesday at Trinoma....

sobrang playful nya diyan sa Adidas store.

I'll look for his baby pics next time....

Hubby's new baby

My hubby has a new baby. He assembled this bike two weeks ago. Last month, he was just checking parts on the internet and told me that he will save some from his allowance. I just gave him a nod and thought that he'll be able to save enough until early next year. But a customer of ours here in the shop who's a biking enthusiast frequently asked him when will they build the bike, came two weeks ago and said that he's free that day and convincing hubby to go to Quiapo already. To my surprised! Hubby asked me if it's okay if he'll buy a bike already... What will I say? I don't want to turn him down even if i'm quite "inis" with him, I allowed him to used some money from our savings (anyway, ibabalik naman daw nya eh)...hehehe.

Pogi naman daw yung bike nya! wahehehe....

First "biyahe" last Saturday was in MOA.
Medyo malapit lang, kasi baka mabigla sya... hehehe

Sus! akala ko pa naman kaya nag-bike para lalong maging healthy, eh heto at kumain ng kumain pagkatapos mapagod! My gosh abelgas nga naman oh!

This is Mang Danny, hubby's running and biking (and eating?) buddy :)

Yesterday, hubby's biyahe sa north naman...

They went to Malolos this time, medyo nagsasanay si hubby ng malayuan.
(Pero naiinis ako, at natatakot at the same time kasi nga

eh naka-bike lang siya)

He was able to see Barasoain Church in Malolos.



They even went to the Kapitolyo!

Sus! Ibala ko kaya ito sa kanyon?

(feel na feel mo ang mag-pose huh)

I'm still in the process of accepting this new hobby of my hubby... hehehe. Kasi naman, hindi nya ako kasama siyempre (may ganun?) at nadagdagan ang kanyang babies na sina Avanza, Dink at Brix (pet namin)... Pero for health reason naman kaya siya bumili ng bike, alam ko naman na medyo nagsasawa siya minsan sa pagtakbo. Kaya sige na nga, go!!!!

KK's Glazed Donuts

I'm beginning to love Krispy Kreme's Glazed Donuts! Before I prefer those flavors na mas sweet and with lots of chocolates or candies on top. But when I see that hubby's not enjoying it, mas binibili na lang namin itong simple pero masarap naman palang glazed donuts nila.

and one more thing, these are free... Yehey!!!

(from the BPI credit card ng cousin ni hubby)

Grab one now!!!

Sarap talaga pag libre!!!

Barrio Fiesta

Sa Barrio Fiesta ginanap ang kainan pagkatapos binyagan ang bagong silang na si Robina Quishan na anak ng aming kumareng si Johanna at ng kanyang mabuting esposong si Robin. Mabilisan ang preparasyon ayon kay Johanna dahil kina-Lunesan ay babalik na sila sa Singapore kung saan silang pamilya ay nakabase (Whew! ang hirap mag-tagalog ng malalim...hehehe). Ninang si Jho ng aming panganay na anak na si Justine at para maging solido ang samahan (hehehe) kinuha na rin niyang Ninong ang aking kabiyak na kanyang matalik na kaibigan noong elementarya pa lamang kami. Para sa inyong kaalaman, si Johanna ang aming tulay kaya kami naging magsing-irog ni Topher noong nasa unang taon pa lamang kami sa mataas na paaralan (high school) ang aga bang umibig? hehehe...( kaya ko pa bang magseryoso sa paggamit ng Tagalog dito sa blog ko?) Naku ang dami ko ng kwento, basta basahin nyo na lang ito! Pak!!!

Robin, Quishan and Johanna

Ang tagal ko ng hindi nakakain dito sa Barrio Fiesta, last time na kumain kami dito was 5 years ago pa at hindi na nasundan dahil medyo hindi namin nagustuhan ang mga pagkain dito sa branch nila sa may Caloocan. I remember that time na super disappointed ako sa kanilang ipinagmamalaking Kare-Kare na mas masarap pang di hamak ang luto ng aking lola Sion. Anyway, this time ay may malaking improvement na ang lasa ng kanilang Kare-Kare pero hindi pa rin pasado sa akin.

Kare-Kare

Isa ito sa signature dish nila na nakalagay pa siyempre sa palayok.

Hmmm... anong masasabi ninyo sa itsura ng sabaw?

Crispy Pata
Eto naman ay talagang nakakagana, because it was perfectly cook.
Super crunchy yet soft ang meat inside :) yummy!

The Fried Chicken
It was okay but nothing to rave about.

Binalot na Tilapia
Steamed fish with onions and tomato inside...
Hubby liked it :)


Healthy siyang kainin di ba?

Lumpiang Ubod

Uy! I love this one...

mga sawsawan...

Bagoong, toyo'y kalamansi at ketchup!

at siyempre ang aming dessert...

Leche Flan!!!

Masaya ang naganap na salo-salo, nagka-usap kami ng matagal ng aming kumare. Masarap ang naging kwentuhan habang kumakain dito sa Barrio Fiesta. Sana sa susunod naming pagkikita ay baby boy na ang kanilang papabinyagan, hehehe....

Ikaw? Kailan ka huling kumain na may masarap na ka-kwentuhan?

Nathaniel's Revisited

Last Sunday, after attending the christening of Quishan in Marilao me and hubby headed to Pampanga (yes that far!) hehehe. We suddenly craved for the famous Nathaniel's Buko Pandan and so kahit medyo mahal ang toll fee ay go kami ni hubby to satisfy our cravings. Their store is located at Olongapo-Gapan Road, San Fernando Pampanga and you can easily noticed their big oval green signage.

Inside the store, you can choose different delicacies ideal for pasalubong.

From Buko Pandan, Maja, Mochi, pastillas, yema, cakes etc. they have it :)

They have cakes too, but I haven't tried any of them yet.

The dining area is big, compare to Susie's.

(We first went there, but wala na silang Tibok-tibok)

Customers lined-up to order and pay to the cashier.

Well these were the yummy treats that we bought :)

The famous Buko Pandan with carabao's milk, kaya mas creamy sya!

(talagang dinayo namin ito, hihihi...)

Well, their lasagna and baked mac is simple the best! We only bought one order for P 70.00 each (per styro) we didn't realized that it will be that good :( sad because hindi ko pa nabili yung isang pan worth P 500.00 only, yet super heavy siya at yummy talaga...we'll be back for these two for sure :)

(Better than Greenwich Lasagna and baked mac) IMHO!

The bake mac is P 70.00 per order (parang isang llanera and size)

We also bought Mochi (for the first time) hubby liked it,

for me, ok lang hindi kasi ako gaano mahilig sa ganito :)

Maja is also good...

etong Yema, sinadya ko din, because it taste so good too!

Well, we (with the kids) pig-out with these pag-uwi namin.

Ikaw? Kailan mo dadayuhin ang Nathaniel's?

This is my reward

This is one of the reasons ng aking blog break. Everytime na hindi ako nagpaparamdam dito sa blog ko ay busy na ako sa paggawa ng reviewers ni Jeff sa lahat ng subject. Para akong (8)teachers ng grade two dahil walong subjects ang ginagawan ko ng reviewer. Grabe! Nakakapiga ng brain and nose bleed talaga ang pag-iisip ng magandang reviewer para kay bunso. Anyway, sulit naman dahil kita ko naman ang magandang resulta ng pagti-tiyaga namin :)

Naku mga friends, kapag nag-aral na ang mga junakis ninyo ay for sure, mararanasan nyo rin ito, at kung sa same school nyo naman i-eenroll ang mga ito ay pwede naman akong mag-share (nasa Word document naman naka-save)... joke!!! wahahaha!!!!

1st grading grades nya :)

Chicken and Pork BBQ

We had these for lunch today. Sinipag si Justine mag-ihaw because he wants to eat pork (liempo) BBQ, si Jeff naman ay chicken BBQ ang request kaya ayan, binili ko na pareho ang mga requests nila. (mahirap baka magtampo ang isa eh) hehehe...

Masarap kumain!

Pero hinay-hinay pa rin ako, I don't want to experience again yung

stomach ache na naranasan ko 2 weeks ago.

Wahehehe na-trauma ba?

Tama lang ang pagkaka-ihaw ni kuya kasi hindi nasunog yung liempo nya!

At siyempre, hindi mawawala ang sawsawan na ito!

Kain tayo!!!


Ikaw? Anong lunch mo today?
