Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is CHIPPED.
Things that chip easily are those made of glass, ceramic and wood. In my other entry, I featured a chipped (old) historical wall.
Below are two photos of a wooden bench. The first one shows a chipped portion on the arm rest. The second one shows how big and how long the wooden bench is.
Chipped arm rest. of course, its wood and it can be chipped easily but then again, if you see how the bench looks like, chipping is not easy to happen.
This is how long and how heavy (I don’t know how heavy exactly but it looks very heavy indeed) the whole bench looks like:
This is one of the many wooden benches in a place called Tiendesitas where Filipino goods can be bought. We love going to this place because the children get to see a lot of pets being groomed and dressed up. Weekends also mean dog shows 🙂

Media Noche came and went but I was not able to get a photo of the food we had. We had New Years’ Eve dinner with my in-laws and it was a hodge-podge affair with visitors so taking photos of food was forgotten.Photos of the children were a-plenty though.
Media Noche at home on the other hand was more like a delayed dessert galore of sweets which I was not able to take photos of, again.
Anyway, we had a post-Media Noche lunch yesterday after we had our breakfast picnic.
There was lechon cooked early in the morning and flown in a 10am flight from Bohol, brought by my brother-in-law.
My two younger children did not eat because they saw that it was a PIG on the dining table.

My hubby and the children ride bikes.
I don’t. No, let me rephrase that, I can’t.
The two younger children got a new bike for Christmas. They got one only because we still have a slightly bigger and almost new bike which our oldest daughter rarely use.
Giving sports gifts during Christmas is not new. I am sure there are a lot of children who got new bikes, skateboards, roller blades, different kinds of balls for different kinds of sports that would enable the receivers to further enhance whatever sport they like to concentrate.
For my children, they like biking because its fun. They get to ride her bikes during weekends with a lot of other bikers too.

Lasang Pinoy Sundays for this week is all about Noche Buena.
Noche Buena is that midnight feast meal which families share to celebrate Christmas. These can be a table full of elaborately-prepared dishes or just simple meals that best reflect what each and every member of the family wants to share or to have.
We have had a simple Noche Buena. Pasta carbonara, baked ham, macaroni salad for the kids and my hubby and potato salad for me. We were going to have lunch in my hubby’s aunt the next day so I dd not cook a lot.
What I did (the salad) was just for me to have during the Noche Buena and breakfast. Or so I thought.
Who would have thought that they (hubby and the kids) wanted the potato salad better than the macaroni salad?

Vacation mode has finally set in two weeks ago.
I have been a little disoriented about the date and the days! Maybe its the workaholic in me that is starting to worm its way out of the “system” I am starting to get comfortable with, a slower pace without having to hurry to avoid the unavoidable traffic jam.
Maybe I have had too much of malling and looking for a good sale which I can get a lot of good deals from.
I have not dealt with my students for weeks but I have two deal with my three sometimes bickering, sometimes fun to be with children.
For now, I am enjoying my vacation and I hope I would be able to do the chores I have to do before I have to go back to the real world: work and traffic.
Good thing its only twice a week.

Co-sleeping is one of the practices parents have when they have newborns. This is also being called as attachment parenting.
Here in the Philippines, it is a given to some families that children co-sleep with their parents even if they are way past being infants.
We co-sleep with our children till now when they do not feel well. Sometimes they just fall asleep on our bed and we don’t bring them to their own beds in the other bedroom. Sure, sometimes, its cramped but it just feels right for me.
Co-sleeping has its own pros and cons.
