Coloring Pages from Crayola Crayons

Crayola crayons have always been a part of our lives. I admit up to now, I still enjoy smelling a newly-opened box of crayons. The smell just excites me. I am glad these crayons are part of my daily grind.

One of the things that I haven’t had the experience yet is to go visit the Crayola factory to see how these crayons are made.  Such adventure is one of the field trip destinations of school children here in the Philippines.

BMW K1200R

Presenting the BMW K1200R:

This motorcycle can be seen in the movie Resident Evil 3.

Read the specifications here.

Watch a video here.

Of course, this bike is uber expensive, being half a million in Philippine peso, without the tax and other financial obligations that needs to be paid when this is purchased. Maybe the overall price would be like a million pesos, enough to buy n AUV or Asian Utility Vehicle that can sit up to 9 people.

But when one thinks about the raw power, money is not an issue. If there is money to burn than just the wheels, that is  🙂

Press This

I am currently using the “Press This” button that I clicked in the shortcuts located on the right bottom part of the WP dashboard. I must say I am having fun.

What is your WP version? I am thinking about writing a post for the upcoming WP 2.7 of which I have photos of the dashboard. Yeah, I do have some photos that I took when Matt came over for the WordCamp Philippines that my hubby and I attended.

Pork Humba

Don’t get me wrong, Pork Humba or Braised Pork Belly or Pork Stew is VERY tasty. We used to have this cooked twice or thrice a month when we weren’t into healthy food years ago. I don’t use the pork belly then, thank you very much, because of its fat but I use pork loin instead. There are many varieties to this dish but I prefer cooking this with lots of garlic, mushroom, and hard boiled eggs

It is a slow cooking recipe and you can view how it is cooked here.

Below is a photo of what constitute a pork humba using pork belly or in Filipino term, liempo:

I am not so sure how much fat content there is for every slice of this meat. But from these come bacon slices which are cured before they make their way to the supermarket.

So what is SCARY about this? The fat content of course! 😀

Here is my other entry for the scary theme.

Bubba Gump Lunch with Forrest Gump

We had lunch at Bubba Gump TriNoma today and met Forrest Gump being “played” by Steve Weber.

I had fun, I think the other blogger guests had fun too.

The food was great and so is the ambience. The crew were friendly and so is Forrest.
