Parents and homeowners as well worry about their home security and I am probably one of those who do especially when we need to go somewhere and we go home late at night. Yes, I worry about these kind of people and I do not mean to discriminate  them just because.

A few weeks ago, my hubby and I were discussing about how to beef up the home security especially during holidays like the coming Holy Week when illegal home entries (read: akyat bahay) are rampant.

We plan to get a wireless security system. We also have plans to get a house help who can stay at home while we are out but that is a little debatable right now.

I really wish we don’t have these problems where we are.

We just want to live in peace.

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 🙂

Wide open spaces are scarce in a megapolitan like ours called Megapolitan (or Mega) Manila where traffic is ordinary especially during weekdays which is what my other entry is all about.

I am thankful then that we are just a mere 10-15 minutes away from the wide open spaces of a campus where I  spent some years for my graduate studies and where people including us, can go to during weekends for physical exercises like biking, walking, running, jogging and other sport activities. We also go there at times for a picnic lunch.

We love these kinds of weekend activities where we can have fun in wide open spaces 🙂

What about you?

Everyone is saying how hot and humid the weather has gotten this days and to think that its just the fifth day of March! Ugh! I dread to think what late March and April and May weather will bring, another ugh!

It would be nice to have a vacation at the beach, sipping a fruit shake while lulling myself to oblivion on a hammock under tall trees where the cool sea breeze cools me, wow! 😀

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 🙂
