Mi-di-ya Nu-chi

Hi Everyone,


Mi-di-ya Nu-chi is Media Noche in Chinese. Get it? Haha. Just kidding.


Kung Hei Fat Choi!

We celebrated Chinese New Year not because Familia Bareza is Chinese nor because my husband looks Chinese. We just grabbed the opportunity to celebrate, and eat away from the usual Eat-Like-A-Goat Nights. Yes, we've been trying to lose weight, People! If we're successful, maybe I'll blog about it sometime. We just wanted to celebrate and have fun.

We wore red to ward off evil spirits. Red is the color or symbol of good luck in Chinese. It is also associated with happiness, wealth and good fortune.

For the meal that we shared, we had whole chicken and fish for unity and prosperity. We also served spring rolls for prosperity, pancit for longevity, rice for harmony, rice cake for unity, and oranges for wealth. We also had pork liempo. I am not sure if this dish signified anything Chinese, I just wanted a pork liempo! 

Cheers to a Prosperous New Year! May we have good health, fortune, and peace.



Live, Love, Laugh with Family!

Welcome Back, Daddy!

First time ng mga bagets na magsundo sa Daddy nila sa airport. Kahit two hours na delayed yung flight, hindi nawala excitement nila.  Buti na lang may Lego blocks sa Terminal 3. They were kept occupied during the long wait.   Sayang, di ko na sila napicture-an nung dumating si Daddy kasi pati ako naoverjoyed. :D:D:D

In Summer! Volets Hotel and Resort

Image
Hi Everyone, "Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam." -Olaf Sun-kissed skin. Upbeat music. Peals of laughter. A perfect summer getaway. It is my first time to visit Volets, and it did not dissapoint. Volets is a perfect swimming venue for kids and kids-at-heart (and for people who do not know how to swim like me. Learning to swim remains in my bucket list. Maybe I'll learn with Sofia. :D). There's the wave pool, the Olympic size pool, 2 kiddie pool areas, lazy river for the kids and lazy river for the adults. There's no way you can get bored, because there are many pools to switch to, and each one is different from the other. What I liked about the place are the shallow pools. I was not in constant fear for the safety of the kids. I was also able to enjoy being in the water, especially the lazy river and the falling water from the huge bucket.

DIY: Yakimix-Inspired Dinner

Image
Hi Everyone, My brother- and sister-in-law spent the weekend at our home. When Barezas get together, the unconventional things are expected to happen. :) Our family and in-laws love food. And because of this relationship with good food and love for unconventional things, our idea bulb just lit up. Presenting... our very own version of Yakimix! We took out our electric stove, put our non-stick grill pan on top, spread some oil, brought out the food for grilling... and voila!  It just cost us Php600. We had marinated chicken, marinated pork, shrimp, squid and hotdogs. It fed 5 hungry grown-ups and 3 kids. Not bad. And we had fun! This is a unique dining experience at home. Everyone can't wait to take their turn in grilling their food. We need a bigger pan. When you do this, just make sure you have a fan pointed an at open window to serve as your exhaust. It's expected to get smoke-y, and oh-so-yummy smelling. We certainly will do this again next time.  Live,...
