Last March, my children and I got an invitation to go to the launching of Krispy Kreme Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts along with blogger friends and media personalities. We had fun being with friends. Our children had fun too playing the games in the venue.
This is a good way to advertisement for a new product, don’t you think so? I had to blur my children’s faces because I don’t want them posted in this blog. Hope you understand.
here is a more detailed post about the event.

Last night I bumped into a fellow blogger and her fiance in a media event
Now this blogger recently announced getting engaged to her boyfriend of five years and naturally, we were all very happy for her 🙂
I noticed that she and another blogger friend I was with were talking about churches, among other things. Of course, I had to peek at her hand and see her ring.
If you ask me, engagement rings are one of the most exciting things given to women 🙂

Yes, Weng’s Cafe Munchkin had its first birthday last February 12! To celebrate this one-year blog anniversary, Cafe Munchkin’s resident chef is having a birthday blowout! Woohoo!
Here are the mechanics:
All you have to do is post an entry on your blog about who or what you consider to be the greatest influence/s on your cooking, food preferences or views on food (that is, if you yourself don’t cook) and how that influence comes through.  Don’t forget to link to this entry so I can get a pingback from you. Then, come back to this post and leave a comment informing me that you have already posted an entry. You have until 11:59pm (CST) of March 9th, that’s two weeks from today, to post your entries.
Ok, now here are my answers:
- Who do you consider the greatest influence on your cooking? I must say that both my parents are my influences in my cooking. Both can cook although they have different preferences. My father likes cooking with meat whereas my mother likes food with fish and vegetables. Their meals are simple but are very delicious, more like soul food or comfort food for me.
- My food preferences. I do not have food preferences but what I cook for my family mostly stems from inspiration and what I think they will appreciate more. Simple home-cooked meals do well for me because I am a working mom. We have not been having pork though for a long time now and if we do, these are far and in between. I mostly serve lean chicken and fish plus more vegetables and fruits.
- How do those influences come through? As I have mentioned, my parents cook simple home-cooked meals and that is what I do too.
Happy blog anniversary Weng! More food posts with wonderful photos 🙂

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
