Thanksgiving 2015

Hi love's! I'm excited every holiday off. In thanksgiving Eve. They send us home early so we can get something to prepare for thanksgiving day with family. I don't normally cooked their traditional holiday I don't remember celebrating thanksgiving when I was in Philippines but, I do help my mother-in-law to prepared their food, I done few things like grocery shopping, chopping stuff, helping her when she's in kitchen. She don't ask you to do this and that but, I have to do something like ask her if what she want me to do. I been around with mom long time but, I still had hard time learning her favorite food and not easy for me to cooked their dishes.They do understand me because I grow up different culture. I do love to eat their food now  though, than my first year in state.

When in thanksgiving people plan to go Black Friday or everyone talking about it. They gone shopping at night and lining up crowded people at mall. Since we're in small town, people went to Walmart, jcpenny, belk I guess that's only store that I know of open in Black Friday. Im not really sure because I never gone to Black Friday in my town I don't get it if it is worth. I am scared to get hurt.

But I done few shopping for Christmas during thanksgiving. Because after thanksgiving not long, Christmas will next to celebrate. I love go shopping for love ones, friends even for myself. but, I spent way to much this year. So next year will be working so hard to save some, for another year to come.

So guys, I hope everyone had a good thanks giving.

A Rainy Day Of My Life#17

             She is very adorable! Everyone got her attention when she played. My mother-in law bought a lot of toys for her but she went to the toys that my husband made. The string and the ribbon from album is one of her first toys that she loving. 

             Of course, she love to played with any object is moving or noises make her jump. She is very jumpy kitten that I ever seen in my life. She doesn’t want you to hold her but she would lie down and sleep next to you when ever feels she comfy.

         Our Kitten Name Sofe’a! My Family gives her names Sofe’a because when she arrived to our house. Sofe’a favorite place is under the sofa she could stay there and slept whole daylong when she was 3 weeks old. This photo’s is one I capture when she’s ready to come out from sofa. She only get out when she feel so hungry or thirsty.

         She was doing well in her potty! You don’t have to bring her out to outside or training her when she come to our house. She comes in her own to the litter box. We had a big container that we used for her as a starter. Were scooping that box daily.

          This pot is my husband made this kind of stuff. Isn’t that big when sofe’a 3 weeks old she easily fit in there and like she did a hide and seek. At first, I feel so nervous how if she can’t able to get out. But, husband said, it’s okay she will figure that out.

         She is very smart. She put her head first down then gently all over her body. She done it in couple days then maybe she realizes she can’t fit in there anymore, and then she stopped doing it now. 

          We officially had kitten in family. Her name is sofe’a. I been taking photo’s of her and even made a video to post in You tube, instagram, and face book since she come into our life, everyone change in good and happiness, she bright our days up and more happiness in family.

         Were never thought to get any more pets in the house since our two dogs are gone. But, one day my husband brought a kitten and were so surprise seeing the box and when he opened the box. My expressions (OMG! You must be kidding? I was smiled and said, you are so cute). To be honest, I haven’t yet heard her meow sounds ever since her first day (she been in the house since October) but my family said, they are positive hearing her meow especially in her first day with us. So, means, I’m the only one hearing nothing L I will be surprise someday to hear her meow I really can’t wait.

That’s all about for now! Well, talk to you all later and take care.

Halloween Party 2015

 I was bake cupcake for the Filipino/American party in Halloween night. They turn out delicious! But because everyone brought sweet dessert I got a lot of left over plus I brought few cup cakes back. I eat sweet food with no control. Feels like, I want this all and now, feeling so guilty. I gain weight for non-stop going party. 

     She got all this chocolate, candies only in the Halloween party. Of course, she won a little Halloween queen 2015 and it was look fantastic of her outfit. Daughter wanted to go to her friend for trick and treat but, I didn’t let her go because, I want her to go with me in the party. I really hate crowded places! On this day, for me Halloween isn’t safe at all. The next day were heard car hit kid. I’m so scared if that happen to my kids. 

        Daughter didn’t make it to go trick or treat this year but she’s blessed to have a friend, Mimi who gives her a little treat every year. We had more fun and to thankful for. So, here’s Video. I’d been tried to put all together but, I only had phone so, please understand the quality. If you don’t want to watch please fill free to skip. Have a wonderful weekend!

          This year, were got invited twice to the Halloween party. We did go both amazing party night. I mean, were had a good time and the good opportunities meeting nice friends and experience that I never done it before. Like challenging to go creepy house. I was begging my husband to go with us in haunted house because; I can’t make it through to door. I do terrified even listening the sounds and seeing spooky things around. Surprisely, it wasn’t that bad, kids love it. But it’s really not recommend to those had a heart problem. Every kids going inside to the any haunted house, always go with parents because were never knows what more in there. My daughter enjoyed playing with her friends and they went hay ride, hide and seek, more food and candies. My husband and My Mother-in-law happy to get to see their friends and talked how’s everything’s in life. It was fantastic event that I went with Family. 

Bazaar Fall Harvest Arkansas.

Hello everyone! My weekend was goes to fast. We’re having fun that’s why, wont last but, at least we’re enjoyed the event that we went to the St. John Catholic BAAZAR fall fest harvest in Arkansas, actually is our 2^nd time joining their annual events each year.

The first Fall Fest Harvest last year 2014 went pretty well. I remember were got invite one of our neighbor who had this kind of organization and event’s of their church. So, we did invite ourselves this year (lol)>. Well, everybody invited in face book to join his or her fun and it’s really fun to go again because they’re so much food, games and bidding stuff. My husband bids a Frame this year for my mother-in-law Christmas present and last year, I was wanted the travel suitcase that I never used because too huge.

For joining any games in Bazaar fall fests. Were bought ticket so, we can able to play games. Each game, they need two tickets. The games I like to get a pumpkin cakes but I was not lucky. I finish my $5 ticket then given up. My daughter won toys and played a lot with her best friend. 

The big maroon color suitcase that I never used and it’s been stock about a year now in closet. To sad, my husband spent his money for bidding it then, it’s just a waste. Right now, I don’t have any idea what to do for this suitcase but is very pretty color and my favorite color that’s why I was picked. 

Okay! There’s two more months away before Christmas. So, this frame going to wait and another stuff in closet, hoping my Mother-in-law like this Frame. My husband thinking his Mother a Lot. He trying to makes her happy.

You'll Take Care!

My Birthday's 'n Philippines 2015

                          This year, a month of august 3rd 2015 is the most unforgettable moment of my life. I was celebrating my birthday in my birthplace in Camiguin Island. It was big opportunity to me to reunite my family after five years long gone. I can thank enough to God how happy I was with family and also, Thanks to my husband Ty has been supportive person to us. It was a very special in my big day. I was there because of my husband helped and all his processing of our travel to our vacation in Philippines.

                     All my life I don’t even remember getting prepared extravagance party such a roasted pig, cakes and gifts. Might be other people this is like nothing but, I do appreciate everything what I got, I don't have that all when way back to my childhood.  I missed a lot of things. Even toys I don't even have. But, I don't blame my parents they do try hard to make us happy. I love the simple life anyway and as long we can eat three times in a day and healthy. I don't ask for more. 

            So, the fact! This is my first roasted pig in my life ever and no kidding this almost 30 kilos or 66 in pounds are gone fast. During my birthday my mother and brother tried to surprised me and I was shock for everything especially to their effort, time, and how much they spent for this entire preparation. 

            My Brother been working the bakery all his life and one of his top recipes making cakes, breads, cup cakes and muffins. I have no doubt he has knowledge that i dont have i am proud of him. These cakes I requested to decorate in my own styles so, here’s the look and obvious, I need to go school for baking.

            But thanks to my brother to let me done decorate this cake.  I am proud what I done for myself. I love it, thought. It was really fun experience. 

            Another cake! decorate by me. this lovely and so simple heart shapes. I’m not professional in fact my first putting decoration of cakes because my brother let me do it and why not? it's was my big day. 

            I wish for the best of everything’s and good life with family. I thank to God for every blessing that he gives to me. My brother and Mother who tried to surprise me. The food they prepared in my birthday was so delicious. 

            Everyone loves siopao that my brother made. Were requests more vegetable filling inside of the buns and less pork or meat. He ended up making some more for the birthday party, since were had a huge family to come over for dinner.

            My two aunt Lily and yaya Marina, My youngest Brother, My Daughter, My niece and nephew, My Mother and I went to church to thank God for another years for me and Blessing. And, were also did went to cemetery (gives Candle Light, fresh flowers for my grandparent who been gone. 

Memorials Day 2014

 Hello Dear!

         

          How’s everyone weekend? The Memorial Day this year was awesome because family gets together. Sometimes like this if we have holiday were trying to planned cooking. Every memorials day my mother-in-law thought about her husband. My father in law was a fighter pilot so, he remain as always our hero in the family.  I haven’t had chance to meet him in person but he is in everyone heart especially my husband and I were engaged when my father in law passed away last 2007.

          In memorials day we cooked some food because my stepson and my mother in law best friend are visited w/us during holiday memorial.  So kind of busy when it comes preparing something special for family and loves one.

Have a good week you’ll

Sonic Slushes with NERDS Candy

                Summer is just around the corner. In southern part we feel it already and getting warmer in 80’s to 90 degree. My daughter and I went to the store the other day I notice the heater was on then I asked her if she could turn the air on in the car because it was really hot inside the car. She answer me back this (aww I thought mom we practice the hot weather for Philippines then now, were spoiled). I don’t want her to confuse but I told her. The heat inside the car are different if you compare to the Philippines weather is humid. But inside the car is to hot it will kill us because we need a fresh air. Even how hot in the Philippines we can survive it but inside the car and no air we can’t survive.  She was 4 years old in our first visiting to my Family in Philippines she don’t even remember but this time she will because this time she’s 9 years old.

                 My stepson is been here 2weeks visiting with us. He is the one who discover slushes drinks from sonic. He got my daughter spoiled, too.  The flavor she’d tries are Strawberry (cherry with Nerds * Candy), Lemon (sour blue raspberry), Cranberry (Green Apple with Nerds * Candy). There are more flavors available in sonic and there are now famous for summer I guess. I taste them but not that fan. My daughters really love it.
