Summer is here!

I never meant to have a quarterly update but from the looks of it, I have forgotten that I have a blog! Susmaryosep! Katagal ko ng walang update!
Most of you have seen me hanging out at Facebook. Facebook is too hard to resist. I heart FB. The only thing is I had to reveal my real name to a friend/blogger whom I have met online. I am sure lot of you wondered who in the world is she when I invited you to add me as your friend. "Sino sya?" Yan ang malaking tanong pagkakita nyo ng pangalan ko. Hahahahaah. I guess I have to thank my parents for that! Isinunod yan sa kalendaryo at ang sabi ng kalendaryo ay Teodora! My Lola said that my mom and my dad should follow the calendar but my mom disagreed. They compromised and mom convinced my lola that my name sounds close to the calendar name. And the rest is history! And I have so many names. Nuff said!
But if you see me, don't forget to accept my invite! I really love FB! It's a good way to keep in touch!
It's summer here in the sunshine state! Our weekends are busy with trips to the beach and what have you! Things are great, praise God!
I hope to be back soon! I still visit your blogs! And if you see me at facebook, ako talaga yun! Malayo lang talaga ang pangalan ko! Dang!
Life is good!

To all single moms/dads--hooray!

Hello everybody! I am so happy to be back here! How I wish I could update daily like most of my blogger friends out there! Nakakainggit ang mga masisipag mag-update!
As of this writing, I am very proud of the single moms/dads out there! Hooray to those who had to take care of their kids all by themselves. Bilib ako kasi mahirap talaga pala ito. Of course, I am still impressed if it's both parents raising their kiddo at hands-on pa. You see, H had to go back to our beloved Pinas for some personal matters a week after he got here last January! All in all, almost 3 1/2 months na sya sa Pinas. Tagal noh?
So I have been alone with M for the last six weeks. Thank God I have a good friend D who takes care of M while I go to school. Seriously, babysitting is a lot expensive as compared to M going to a regular school. H and I have been looking at some schools here and have submitted one application (goodbye $500) Back to my friend D, I do not want to be an abusive friend as I know that she takes care of M really well. Besides, there are days that I had to bring M in his jammies at 530 am. Those are days when I had to be at the hospital for my clinicals and some of those grouchy days for M (especially when we had to spring forward that one hour..arrggh)
The good news is H is due to be back on Monday. I am picking him up from the airport as soon as I'm done with my clinicals.
Other than that, my books keep me busy. M keeps me busy. I love it that he can really communicate. The conversations we have are just great. I need to post on that too!
Oh, and I have read Twilight and I soooo love it! I have the other books with me. I hope to read them as soon as H gets back. He loves Twilight too! He got the dvd for me (pirated from Pinas c/o my sil..hehehe)
Wishing everyone a happy weekend! Gotta change my beddings and clean the bathroom and the rest of the house! Spring cleaning, naaahh..
Cheers!

One Saturday Morning

Hello world! Gosh, I did not realize that I haven't been posting! I still leave my comments to my favorite blogs only to remember that I have my own blog to post my thoughts!
To start with, I am so happy for my good friend Weng who is having her first year anniversary for CafeMunchkin . It all started with the crinkles from Abby & Meeya & Weng of course. And the rest, as they say, is history!
I am so happy for Weng that I have decided to join her contest. Happy 1st birthday!Plus the fact that I want to win in the contest and get that bag..hehehhe..so here I am writing!
I looked at my old pictures and saw some pics of my little boy M who has been very influential in my cooking/baking/experimenting at my kitchen! He is the reason why I cook and why I bake! He loves to help me whenever I am in the kitchen.





So last Saturday morning, as I was about to post an entry to join the contest, M again tried his best to help me bake.


Oh, and I got this idea from marikit Tin who told me to put the banana mixture into cupcakes. That way, it was easy for M to eat them.





This blondies recipe I got from Cafemunchkin. Hindi lang kasingganda ng gawa ni Weng huh. Pero pwede na daw sabi ni M.



Yup, this all happened last Saturday. M and I baked banana cupcakes and blondies! Another bonding time!
Well, M and I also enjoyed eating them afterwards. Now, that's another story to tell!

LP 42 Kahel

Ay, napakasarap balikan ang Ang Aling Tonya's! Hindi po ako kamag-anak o nagtratrabaho sa kanila pero talaga pong hindi makukumpleto ang aming bakasyon sa Pilipinas kung hindi kami makakain sa Dampa! Ewan ko ba pero sa aming panlasa eh hindi nagbabago ang timpla ni Aling Tonya. Eto po ang aming paboritong kahel!

Syempre pa, hindi pahuhuli si esposo kaya't sinimulan na agad ang laban!

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang aking anak sa kahel! Paborito nya ang tempura! Malutong daw ito at masarap sa kanyang panlasa!

Bakit ba napakasarap kumain sa Pilipinas? Talagang hahanap hanapin mo ang timpla at lasa! Kung pwede lang dalhin ang lahat ng ito, matagal ko ng ginawa!
Maligayang LP!

LP 41 Asul

Ako po ay nakabalik na sa aking maikling bakasyon mula sa ating mahal na bayang Pinas. Salamat sa lahat ng nagiwan ng kanilang magagandang mensahe!
Sa linggong ito, naghanap ako ulit sa aking baul ng litratong asul! At ito ang aking nakita.
Nakasuot ang aking anak ng kulay asul!



Meron ding ilang bata na nakasuot ng asul! (at pula..hehehe.ipilit ba ng lola para makahabol sa nakaraang linggong tema ;))



Sa wakas, nakatiyempo rin sya ng tubig! Gustong gusto nyang itapat ang kanyang mukha at buong katawan sa tubig na ito! Lubos itong nagbigay sa kanya ng kasiyahan. Nangyari ito isang Sabado ng hapon kung saan kaming mag-anak ay namasyal noong nakaraang taon sa panahon ng tag-init! At ito ang paraan para makatipid din sa tubig!:)
Ang sarap talaga maging bata!

Maligayang LP sa inyong lahat! Nakasali ako ulit..Hanggang sa muli!
