I used to like Nicholas Cage when I was younger, now I’ve got a replacement for him – no less than the sexy Ryan Reynold.  I begin to like him when I watched The Proposal on DVD.

Mellow Yellow Monday, Ruby Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday.

They say flowers has therapeutic effect to people suffering from depression, stress, tiredness, fatigue and even menstrual cycle problems.

My daughter took these pictures during a school field trip last month.

Never a dull moment with this guy since day one.

He’s the one.

He’s my man.

Posted for Mellow Yellow Monday and Blue Monday.

This is my first time to use penne rigate pasta for spaghetti. I got the pack with spaghetti sauce for only P99 or a little over $2. The two cans of tuna cost less than $1. It’s an easy cook meal actually. While waiting for the pasta to cook, sauté garlic and onion in a separate pan. Add in tuna flakes, simmer for a few minutes and then put in the sauce. My spaghetti is ready in less than 30 minutes.

I rarely served spaghetti for dinner. But the kids requested for it and who am I to turn down my angels? They were at the dining table even before the spaghetti is ready. They had a hearty meal. I wish I could resist the temptation of eating too, but the flesh is weak. lol. Oh, quick weight loss pills, where art thou?

My entry for Mommy Willa’s

I have two separate shopping schedules every week. Saturday or Sunday is market day for me. I replenish raw stock including chicken, pork or beef meat, sea food, vegetables and other ingredients that would last for five days in the fridge. If I’m busy with an online/offline job and have no time to cook, I would open up canned goods or just run to our “suking carinderia” that sells sumptuous and affordable cooked meals everyday. They always save the day.

On the other hand, I do grocery shopping for hotdogs, bread, milk, etc on separate day usually on a Sunday afternoon. I get the usual stuff and as much as possible I stick within the week’s budget unless the kids went shopping with me. I follow the grocery shopping skeds if I’m not too busy, otherwise husband do the latter shopping sked for me.

One of the many highlights of the show taken in Dec. 28, 2003. We were seated at the Upper Box B level of the Araneta Coliseum. Just lucky to be given free tickets to the show. I hope we have a high-end camera during those time so we could capture the amazing Disney on Ice show that features Beauty and the Beast!

My share for MYM.

It’s been a while since my last entry for Couples Corner. For this week I’ll try to make a single post for two consecutive themes that I’ve missed. Here goes.

I say no-dear sometime, but when hubby has explained all that we (our family) can benefit from a long term or short term plan or a certain situation I don’t hesitate to support him and gave him my sweetest approval.

On the other hand, hubby is the sweetest when he says yes-dear to my little whims at times.

But be it a yes-dear or no-dear doesn’t mean one is trying to manipulate the other. In our case, we try to “balance” everything when it comes to decision making especially if it concerns the welfare of our family especially the kids.

My take for Couples Corner this week.

The leaves in the hand-painted card have yellow shades in it.

The wife of former WHO Regional Office Director Sang Tae Han personally painted this greeting card for their friends.

This is the Tanguige diced that I bought last week. I made this into nuggets by coating it with all purpose flour before deep frying.  This is how it turned out.

My simple “baon” presentation of the fish nuggets.
