Birthday lunch

Leave a reply

I don’t cook anything special on my birthday. I just prepare fried chicken for lunch as it was requested by my kids. And with hubby’s prodding he bought an ice cream and soda for our dessert. I should have cooked something special like beef calderetta, but hubby said it may take hours to prepare. So I end up marinating five pieces of Chicken thighs with calamansi juice, fish sauce, pepper and food seasoning. The kids thought I ordered it from Max’s. Ok, I fabricate that part. LOL. After a sumptuous lunch, I recall top diet pills that I read somewhere because I felt guilty after consuming more than a cup of rice (or was it two cups). More rice intake means additional fat on the belly. It’s difficult to trim down that part unless I exercise.

Hubby and I met at work. We used to be officemates although we have different jobs. He is holding a technical job while I’m assigned at the editorial department.

We hit it off as friends and now even when we’re already married we see to it that we still share everything from food, clothes (I borrow his undies hehe), corny jokes and everything else there is to share between friends.

I’m sharing this song by Janet Basco and Jose Marie Chan to explain how I feel for my husband who is also my friend. I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with this song.

Household chores

What is the proper age to teach kids household chores? This question crop up when hubby and I are having a small talk about our kids. He said giving kids chores to do at an early age will help them become responsible individuals when they grow up. Age appropriate chores such as washing the dishes, sweeping the floor, and folding clean clothes are too basic chores to learn. Recently, hubby began assigning our kids to wash the dishes alternately; one at noon, and the other one in the evening. Even when they are complaining about the number of dishes they wash, we see to it that they finish the task assigned to them. I still wash the heavy stuff.

We try to inculcate in them the value of helping everyone at home. When they are a little older we will teach them to wash their own clothes. Simple task like these prepares them for real jobs in the future. I wonder if any of my kids will be in the sales jobs? Whatever the future holds for them, we’ll be there to support them.
