Matchbox Ford GT

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is METAL.

One of my son’s newer addition to his toy collection, a Matchbox Ford GT toy car. He doesn’t really get this brand since he likes another toy brand more than this but he could not resist not having a Ford GT. Who wouldn’t?

Matchbox toy cars, like the other toy cars being sold like this Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X which is my other entry, are made of die-cast metal

Here is a real Ford GT, my very first Photo Hunt entry, if I remember it right.

Thank You

“Thank you”

Two small words that mean a big difference. In one of my other blog among others, I get a lot of inquiries. There are those who write “Thank you” “God bless you” whenever they end their queries, even if they are not sure that I will answer them.

Of course, I do answer, no matter how these inquiries were written.

Read on.

Sipa, a Philippine Native Sport

I have never learned how to play this game called SIPA, the Philippines national sport. This requires agility and speed which I know nothing about.

Perhaps because I was a bit clumsy as a child who never learned how to to do jump rope moves not jump on Chinese garter being played during recess nor ride bikes, I wasn’t able to “master” games that require some physical prowess.

Sure I excelled in playing Jacks and running after friends in a game of “Tagged, You’re It” but that is the extent of how sporty I was.

I bought this toy for my children to play with but alas, they too are awkward about how to execute the moves. How would they know if I can’t teach them the moves.

I hope they can figure out a way on how to do this or I better ask hubby to demonstrate his moves, if he can still do these things 😀

Sliced Apples and Chocolate Milk Drink

For the third week of the What’s in your Lunchbox Meme entry over at the FilipinoMomBlog.com here is what Julian and Tania had for snacks yesterday:

Sliced apples and chocolate milk drink. I know these do not exactly “match” but they love both so that is what I give them.

The apples were washed using (I know this may sound weird) liquid dish washing soap to ensure that the skin is clean. The apple is then sliced thinly so that they can easily eat the pieces and not feel that have had too much of the fruit.

What was for lunch? Click here.
