Bracelet a Breloques

My colorful  Bracelet a Breloques which I ordered from and made by a good friend of mine.

Bracelet a Breloques

I love it and so did my eldest daughter so she had me ask Gelli to make her a set with the colors of her choice: pink, black and purple.

Happy weekend!

It’s Been Awhile

It has been awhile, no, it has been a long time since we last went to our family biking/walking/running bonding time.

Sunday

The thule rack is dusty and so are the bikes. The kids still can’t ride without training wheels and that is something not to be proud of because they are not that young anymore.

I always tell the family, next Sunday we will go do these things again but sleep, that elusive sleep wins over more than anything including breakfast and the need to be fit.

I always tell myself, tomorrow, I will start my early morning walking routine but then either the online lure is more powerful or the bed is pulling me back to its soft comfort.

On Sunday, we will do something different and I am hoping even with the lack of preparation, my legs are up to the task even if I still feel pain from walking and hiking for two days with my school children.

Manganese in the Water?

I just wrote in a chat room that:

may water kami ngayon (headspin) pero color brown (angry)

which means we have water flowing out of the faucets but the color is brown. Sigh.

There we go again, having waterless or dirty water Maynilad problems. When will this ever end? I don’t know if it is better we have water where I need to look for wholesale water filter or no water at all.

I don’t think I can use that brownish water to bathe my kids nor wash plates.

Manganese? I don’t think I’d want to have manganese in the water, no thank you. Ewww…

UPDATE: no water from August 2 till now, August 5, 2010, 11:20am. Sigh.

Cheese Dynamite

Pssst…that piece of chili stuffed with cheese, breaded and crunchy, is THE bomb! Aptly so since it is called Cheese Dynamite. I absolutely love it!

He Likes Home-Baked Goodies More

The birthday is up and coming for my son and mine at the same day. Our only son requested that I bake some goodies to bring to school for his classmates. He wouldn’t hear of store bought goodies since he said he wanted his classmates to taste what I bake at home. I feel giddy of course that the son feels like that even at my lack of baking prowess.

I have been steering clear away from the tempting oh-so-good baked goodies for personal consumption but I can help get a small piece, and another and another especially when these are still warm.

I feel ze waist expanding and something tells me that I might be hearing whispers of get strongest fat burners soon.

So off to the kitchen to start the mixing and baking.
