Big Bang Theory

I love watching Big Bang Theory 🙂

I can totally relate to the characters especially Sheldon because I have met and worked with a lot of (future) Sheldons at work 😉

Of course, it may seem funny to those who are not initiated with how it is to live with these people who have issues with pragmatics and semantics

But then, I am glad that there are shows like these to enlighten people, and not ridicule and make fun of the fact that there are other people who are like Sheldon who needs understanding and patience from other people

Banana, Oats and Chocolate Chips

Plantain bananas, oats and chocolate chips are what can be found inside this bread that I make at home. Sometimes using the same recipe, I also make these as muffins.

Yes, I know, putting chocolate chips, even if its the semi-sweet kind is not really a good idea for me who  really needs diet pills, wait make that, needs to lose weight but the aroma of chocolate and banana in bread is wonderful for me!

I always make four batches of mini-loaves of this kind and always, always, it is a hit with the hubby and the kids who love to have the bread still warm. If I bake it in the morning before it turns dark, everything is gone.

Served best with coffee or milk 🙂

Fun Movies for Children

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.

Sago’t Gulaman for TriColore

I was a bit challenged with this one and since I can not find any tricolore food photo in my files that I have cooked/made, I decided to put this hastily-taken photo of a glass of Sago’t Gulaman. Gutom na kasi at that time kaya hastily taken, more like an after-thought, 😀

Sago’t gulaman. One of the Pinoy thirst-quenchers that seems to have taken a back seat because of the influx of sugar-laden soda drinks, tea-based drinks and other drinks called shakes with chemically enhanced flavors. This is perfect for summer, isn’t it? If not, a halo-halo will do just fine 😀

Gotta.have.one.like.this.today ->note to self.

Yeah and not think that I need some weight loss pills to get ready for the beach this summer 😀

Fancy Birthday Cakes

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.

Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Seeds Collection

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
