We recently got a few DVD movies for the children to watch.
One was Space Buddies which they have watched two or three times already which has dogs as stars in the movie. This is a sign that they love it because of the number of times it has been watched to think it was just Friday night that we got these movies.
The other movie we got was Bedtime Stories starring Adam Sandler a hotel handyman which was also funny and they understood early on that the stories told by the children were magically and coincidentally coming true. I just think they enjoyed the Jumanji (from the same director) better.
Still another movie they enjoyed was “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian“. They have almost forgotten about the first movie “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardobe“and I am sure they will watch that to refresh their memories.

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!

The theme for this Saturday is NAUTICAL.
We have several photos taken from passenger ships but I am too lazy to look for them in the files. Nautical commuting is a big thing in this island of 7,107 islands called the Philippines. Yes, we are surrounded by water.
Here is my other entry.
I chose the photo below as my entry because model scales are wonderful and very detailed. So now I present a scale model of the USS Nmitz CVN-68.
Scale model of USS Nimitz CVN-68
This photo was taken late last year from an exhibit about scale models ranging from toy soldiers to cars and locomotives, as well as war planes and war ships. It was a bit difficult to take photos through a glass but I managed a bit. That is until the kids started to get bored 😀

Every Saturday participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is FURRY.
Okra buds, my other entry is here.
I am featuring our (almost new) dog, Chichi, an American Pit Bull Terrier who came to our home three months ago. He is our only APBT now because Sparky (who is probably in heaven) died last month.
She is not really furry compared to toy dogs and other herding dogs because she is a short-haired breed. We prefer to have this kind than the long-haired ones that need grooming (these can be expensive) and shed unwanted hairs that can cause asthma.
Contrary to what others believe, pit bulls are friendly (except when they are together with other dogs and/or smaller animals and other APBT) and very playful.

Today is the twentieth day of NaBloPoMo or National Blog Posting Month. I have signed up with this, hoping to write posts on a daily basis. Thank God for time-stamping because I wouldn’t have been able to put posts on a daily basis.
Some of the posts that I have in this blog have been written last month when I had a few days vacation or in other words, these have been time stamped. I have these time-stamped in my NaBloPoMo page too.
Some are scheduled posts that I intend to do regularly in this blog, since I am running out of ideas about what I want to write about.
So how have I been so far with this writing?

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.
