The theme for this Saturday is THANKFUL
I came across this quotation about being thankful a few days ago when I was thinking about the post I will make for the theme: “It isn’t what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart”
And I say “yes, I agree”
I am thankful about so many things which I wrote about in this other PH entry
I am thankful for my parents who may not have much in their pockets (like me, lol!) but have big hearts with overflowing love 🙂
We do not have a mansion with spacious rooms and high-ceilings but we felt like royalty because in the eyes of my parents, my brother and I are both the little prince and little princess 🙂
The home which is the witness of many wonderful moments is in bad shape and needs major repairs but we are hopeful that everything will fall into place 🙂
Thank you God for giving me a wonderful family 🙂

Birthday celebrations and parties have come a long way. Birthday cakes too, are now more fanciful and detailed they look more like storybooks than cakes.
No kidding.
Take a look at this Winnie the Pooh inspired cake with the Honey Tree and Roo on the side where the photo was taken:
Nice right? It looks like a book that comes alive (well, it is almost the size of a book). It is colorful and looks three-dimensional.
Do you agree?
To inquire about this cake, contact Kim.

EATS a WRAP!
I was feeling a little worried that I would have to go order myself that wrap in one of the fast food nearby. I was also tempted to buy a shawarma, warm, cheesy and spicy. But wait, these are not Filipino foods so I thought long and hard because I knew I have something in my files and so I have!
Very simple, very Pinoy and very tasty: our home made Saba con cheese turon 😀
How to make these? Simple and here is how:
First of course, get some ripe bananas using the saba variety:
A little overripe is ok. Cut these bananas into four pieces.
Cut the cheese like little cheese sticks, or the size of French fries.
Put the sliced banana and cheese together on a wrap (lumpia wrapper, store bought) and sprinkle with a little sugar. We use muscovado sugar variety at home.
Fry these banana and cheese turon in a hot skillet and you will have:

Warm is one of the many words that best describes the weather here in the Philippines Wait, not exactly JUST warm but warm AND humid 😀
Warm, in a different kind of interpretation in this entry
When the weather is warm like this:
A trip to the beach for some swimming time is a welcome respite from the heat and humidity!

Last night we attended the Bloggers’ Event for Ipanema’s Gisele Bundchen (GB) Seeds Collection.
Photo taken during the dance performance of the Philippine Ballet Theater where the ballerinas wore the GB Seeds Collection while dancing and yes, no straps were broken 😀
The launching of the GB Seeds Collection is being teamed with Haribon Foundation in an effort to create not just an awareness on the preservation of the Philippine rainforests but as one of the steps to be taken to realize the goals in the preservation of these treasured natural resources.
I had the chance to ask Mr Patxi Elizalde who was very accommodating about the materials they used for this collection and he explained that these are made from recycled materials like residues from different things like PVC, industrial and painting residues.
There will also be a Walk the Green Mile Walkathon slated on March 21 and part of the proceeds of these GB Seeds Collection will help in the planting and growing of trees

Why do I love food? I asked my daughter this question and she answered we love food because food makes us alive. True, we should eat to live and not live to eat.
Not that I am saying that the “live to eat” thought is not good because that philosophy would be good too as long as the food being taken is healthy.
Below is a sandwich that I prepared:
A sandwich with lettuce, tomato slices, scrambled egg and a slice of cheese in between whole wheat bread that I made for lunch and brought to work.
I plan to have more of these in the coming days, plus more (raw) vegetables in my lunch box and on the dining table too. No sweat with fruits since we all love to eat fruits.
This kind of sandwich made from home is definitely less expensive when bought from a restaurant or a coffee shop. Good for the heart, I hope it is 🙂
Belated Happy Hearts day to all!
