Gastronomic weekends with my MOM

Every Friday, I always vow to start losing weight the next day because of the late Friday night dinners that are more often than not carbs+fat combined. But every Saturday I always find myself breaking my vow.

My mom is one of those typical mom who would wake up early in the morning to fix us breakfast and would make sure we have merienda (snack) to eat by the time we get home from school. Even if the merienda is just a bowl of cup noodles, we will always have something to expect . So imagine her frustration when I started working in advertising and started to go home late at night. I no longer had a chance to eat any meals with them because I am always in a rush, leaving for work early in the morning and coming home late at night. So as retaliation for all those missed dinners, my mom would make up for it during weekends.

Weekend is a gastronomic feast to the stomach. With typically 4 meals a day, weekend is something you shouldn't miss. Breakfast would typically consist of sinangag rice with either corned beef, tuna, hotdogs or tapa with egg. Lunch and dinner consists of 3 ulam and soup. Merienda will either be pancakes, hot pandesal, or pasta. Weekend is also the time we can request for our favorite food.

Whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, my mom would never fail to surprise us with different dishes.

I love my mom. My dad, brother and I, we get the best.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
