Action-Packed Sunday

This Sunday is one that is action-packed.

First off, time will stop for those who will be glued to their super delayed telecast to watch Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao fight off his opponent in boxing. While others go to their favorite bars, sports bars, movie houses, and gyms, others will listen to their radio for the live update. We won’t go anywhere, even if I got two tickets to the fight, we will just look for a livestream.

My youngest daughter wanted to watch but hubby said no for they would be in a crowd full of males. She loves sports and would always wear her favorite nfl t shirts or her running shirt.

My son is not interested in boxing, too bloody and violent for him, he says. He’d rather watch the Formula One Adu Dhabi race and cheer for whoever will win. His favorite driver is not one of those who still has a chance to win the coveted title.

I hope The Pacman wins. And I hope Fernando Alonso wins too! Woot!

Cajun Chicken Pasta

When I cook pasta, I don’t have exact recipes that I follow. Whatever we have in the fridge is what I use, as long as these would give delight the fickle taste buds of my children.

Here is my simple version of chicken alfredo pasta Cajun Chicken Pasta

Ingredients:

red and green bell pepper

bite-sized chicken (from chicken breasts)

all-purpose cream and cheese for the sauce

Italian herb seasoning for flavors instead of Cajun

spaghetti noodles cooked according to instructions

I topped mine with fresh parsley bits.

I laud green designs like these and I hope a lot of developers will follow suit.

The community of these houses can be found where the koi feeding happened.

Wedding in the Family

Several people I know has altar dates this year and next year too. In fact, we have a family wedding in less than a month.

I’m sure my BIL had a difficult time choosing the best one among so many choices for diamond engagement rings, just as he and his would-be wife spent a lot of time choosing the textile, styles and color coordination of the formal wear their entourage would be wearing.

They even had family members fit new clothes just for the occasion. Hmmm… maybe because they know I don’t have decent and acceptable clothes to wear, haha.

My two younger children are included in the entourage, the son as a ring bearer and the younger daughter as a flower girl.

Both are excited of course even if they feel a bit bad they have to miss a school day for this affair.
