I was stunned when I saw a video footage of a 6 month-old baby boy who had been thrown out of a 4-storey building in Germany. He wasn’t hurt after all. I guess there has to be an angel out there watching over small babies.
My sister-in-law shared that her daughter has recently fallen from their bed. She was so shocked to see her lying on the floor without even crying. She said that her little girl’s angel cradled her as she fell down from the bed.

What Your Mom Really Mean
I was inside the grocery one day and in one corner saw a corner rack full of booklets. I found a booklet entitled "Mommysms". I opened a couple of pages. It tells the reader what really moms mean by what they tell their children. That’s why a lot of children don’t understand their moms. One example of MOmmysms that caught my attention as it also happened to me and my when I was a child. The book said, if you ask your mom the meaning of a certain word and she tells you she doesn’t know the meaning and you look it up in the dictionary, what your mom really tells you is "don’t be lazy, you try to learn to look it up in the dictionary." "Mommysms" is a book that has a lot of tips to readers how to understand their moms. It is a very good gift item for children. But wait, the next time I went to the grocery, I saw another book, this time it is entitled, what else? If not...you bet! its... DADDYSMS!!!!
Gulf Oysters
Do you like oyster? Well, most people like to eat this seafood as raw. But I like to eat it in thi oyster soup. I am not an oyster eater but I really like the soup. You know, I am a milking cow now since I just gave birth with my second baby, he-he. I wish I live near to the ocean so that I can get plenty of oysters. If you live near to the beach or near the coast you can probably get Gulf oysters that you can eat. I am just looking forward if I can go home to the Philippines, I will eat a lot of oysters.
Merienda Time
It's time for our merienda.
Saba is one type of a banana that is always present in the table of every Filipino especially during merienda time (snack). Top on our record is nilagang saging (boiled banana) and it’s good with bagoong or shrimp paste. There are many ways to cook saba like bananacue, turon (deep fry saba in spring roll wrapper), and sweetened banana.
Green Mango
Mangga Hilaw (green mango). Isn’t it mouthwatering? I like it with “bagoong alamang” or shrimp paste. You can also find vendors in the street selling green mango. They have all kinds of paste or sauce to go with it. Mangga hilaw is also use for shake or juice. There is a superstition that pregnant women crave for mangga hilaw.
Shrimp Preparation
Shrimp preparation. Usually, the shell is peeled, the black vein and head is removed. There are many recipes that include shrimp. If you are in a hurry you can just sauté it and you have already an instant meal. But I guess that Filipinos like exotic food. Shrimp is cooked and served without peeling its shell and the head is not removed. Its head has all the flavors and the juice is very delicious.
Romeo and Juliet
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;"
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
Juicy and Sweet
This is tropical fruit rambutan. I miss this fruit so much, I wish I could fly to the Philippines today! Nothing here is like this fruit. I can find rambutan here but they are all in canned. Nothing can erase my memory of eating juicy rambutans and sweet, especially from the product of Philippines.
In the Philippines, rambutan is visible during the month of July and August. It is commonly sold by vendors using fruit carts in the streets or even is fruit stalls.
Leche Flan
Leche Flan or caramel custard is a dessert that is always present in many Filipino dinner tables especially during special occassions. Leche Flan is a Spanish legacy to the Philippines . It's very similar to the Creme Caramel except that we generally use canned milk rather than fresh. When you order halo-halo it is topped with leche flan and ice cream. Yummy!
