A Saccharine Life

Hi Everyone, It took us a while to figure out what Sofia was saying. "Idalido Icha!" What??? More baby talks? Finally, when we were watching t.v., she imitated the Mininon, and there were those words again. It was a Minion language all along. :D She loves Minions, that's why when we learned that McDonald's are accepting pre-orders for the Minions Happy Meal toy set, we rushed to the nearest McDonald's in our area. For only Php949, you will have 10 Happy Meal Minion toys and 10 Happy Meal food stubs. The best part, you'll get them before it becomes available individually at McDonald branches. You'll avoid out-of-stock toys! Perfect! Here's how you can pre-order: Step 1 - Visit any McDonald's store from June 15 - 20. Step 2 - Pre-order the complete Minions Happy Meal set in the front counter of a McDonald's store. Step 3 - For only Php949, each pre-ordered Minions Happy Meal set includes a Claim Stub Set for all 10 Minions Hap...

Hi Everyone, Yesterday was Sofia's second day in school. As expected when there are first time schoolers, tears are bound to flow. So, I cried... big time. :D I guess Mommy is just too attached to her daughter. You see, for her first day of school, I was on vacation leave to accompany her to school. Parents were allowed to stay with the kids inside the classroom. I attended to her needs in the classroom, and told her to participate in class. Everything went smoothly. Yesterday, I had to go back to work. After I brought her in her classroom, she was asking me to sit beside her again. I told her I can't because I have to go to the office today. One thing I learned from my boss is that I should not sneak away from my daughter. I have to let her know if I am going away, so she will not be worried every time that I might be sneaking away from her. So when I was telling her I need to go to the office, I felt guilty because I can see in her eyes that she's worried, but sh...

Hi Everyone, I just want to share with you a pasta dish that Daddy and I experimented on. We were doing our grocery, and I told him I want to cook spaghetti, so we can use the parmesan cheese we have sitting too long in our pantry. He readily agreed, but he want to try something different. So we bought olive oil and basil, and crossed our fingers.

Hi Everyone, We were able to finally visit Puerto Galera last April. I have never visited Boracay, but they said Puerto Galera was similar to it because of the night parties.  The travel going to Puerto Galera was long. We had to take an hour and a half trip from Cavite to Batangas City Pier. From there, we had to take an hour-boat ride to our destination. I will never forget how scared I was when I walk across the plank connecting the boat and the pier!  We arrived at Puerto's shores, and I was so amazed at how clear the water was. I have never seen anything like it. The restaurants served good food, too. My favorite though was not found in the restos, but on the beach front - the mango ice scramble. Remember those pink ice scramble you had when you were a kid? They have it in mango and strawberry flavors here. I hope someone would come up with the same thing here in Cavite.
