Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Today is my Mom's 66th birthday! How I wish we're together to celebrate this wonderful day with her. I terribly miss her! Our phone conversation once a week is not enough. hehe! Hindi bale malapit na bakasyon nya dito sa Winnipeg - this coming August. I can't wait!

We love you so much, Mom!!! -- from the 3 of us (Grace, James & Audric)

Midnight Snack

The picture is not that good but I can tell you it's yummylicious. hahaha! This is a portion of lasagna I cooked/baked yesterday. We had lasagna as dinner yesterday then lasagna ulit kaninang breakfast so out of 12 slices we still have 6 slices . I transferred 4 slices in a smaller baking dish then I individually packed the other 2 for James' baon and put them in the freezer para nakaready na kung feel nyang magbaon ng lasagna. Pero kani-kanina lang after watching a movie pareho kaming nagutom ni James so hayon instead na kumuha ako sa baking dish ng 2 slices kinuha ko yong para sa baon ni James. Ayusin ko na lang bukas yong baon nya. Now it's getting late. It's time for bed. Good Morning, everyone! :D

Pahabol: ito yong mga pictures nung 7th month ni Audric.

Lucky 7

Audric is 7 months old today. We just had a simple celebration. I cooked spaghetti, James bought chicken from KFC & icecream cake from DQ. Then we invited my in-laws to come over. I can't think of any other way to enjoy the moment than by being with the whole family. I'll share pics next time.

O Canada!

Happy 139th Birthday, Canada!

You've been my home for over 2 years now. I still miss my Motherland but I already like it here. They're times that I crave for longganisa but you have sausages. They're afternoons that what I want for meryienda is Mister Donuts but you have Tim Hortons. A steamed dahon ng kamote and okra would be nice as a side dish but you have varieties of fresh salads to choose from. I miss riding a jeepney but you have transits. My pancit is incomplete without calamansi but you have lemons. My favorite is Purefoods hotdogs but Maple Leaf will do. My kababayans enjoy celebrating Piyesta ng Dagat but only here that I witnessed the love of water even what you have are just man-made lagoons. And the list goes on...

As one of your many adopted children, I'm grateful you treat me as your own. I have roof over my head, I have food to eat, I have clothes to make me warm especially during winter times. [I have my medicard, maternity benefits, and child tax benefits. hehe!] I couldn't ask for more. Mabuhay ka, Canada!
