I am so happy with my life right now, as a wife, a mother, and of course, a serious blogger.

First of all, I now have couple of blogs and trying hard to update them regularly. Aside from this blog, I still have my oldest blog, Beauty of Life which has gained PR2 on the month of October. It was such a blessing because I was able to make more money with it. (more…)

This post is so late now coz my son turned 2 years old last September 24 but I got really busy and wasn’t able to update this blog. I also have another blog that I made for my son, Starts at Two. I created it on the exact day of his 2nd birthday, that is why it is titled Starts at Two. And it was one of reasons why I wasn’t able to update this blog. (more…)

At 2:00am today, DST started. We are now 14 hours behind from the Philippines. I felt weird about it coz we are an hour behind than what our usual time is. Though our clocks are adjusted to DST time but I still feeling kinda weird about it. Anyway, there’s a good news though coz we get to sleep an extra hour. hehe.

It’s been a while since I last posted on this blog. I felt really bad about it coz this blog is supposed to be my online journal for my new life here in the US. But I have been busy. Or maybe just feeling busy. I don’t know. I just can’t get a time to write a post here. But anyway, here it is. A post after a few months.

I have been craving for leche flan so much but I don’t think I can make it since I don’t want to eat anything that Andy can’t it. If I would make something like it, I should used just a sweetener to substitute so that Andy can eat it too. (more…)

 

Pinoy foods in Texas August 20, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — jona @ 2:41 pm

As a pinoy living in the states, I really am craving for pinoy foods, especially my father’s recipe of humba, lechon kawali, chopsuey, and sarciado. If you can’t taste these foods for a while, you will surely miss them, just like me.

American foods are usually dry, no sauces unless you make a separate one. Unlike with most of our dishes, there are some sauce that we can put on our rice for it to taste better. Yum yum! I really miss it. (more…)
