Easter Egg Hunt – Ihaw Ihaw!

The kids enjoyed Easter Egg hunt adventure in our friend’s house last Easter Sunday. We had our simple celebration with Ihaw-ihaw (grilled) foods, play time in their backyard, easter egg hunt and egg decorating.

Before we had lunch, the kids enjoyed the new trampoline our friend got in their backyard. They loved it and even asking if can buy it too aside from the patio swing that they keep on asking us to buy. Unfortunately we can’t have this stuff until we got our own house in the future.

After playing we had feast on the Ihaw-ihaw foods…

And finally, EGG HUNT and EGG Decorating time!!

HAPPY EASTER everyone!

Welding Job

Working on welding company is quite difficult; that is, if a person is not familiar with it and doesn’t have any potential in working it too but, if a person is willing to do the task, then nothing is impossible either he is familiar or not with it at all.

Welding process/work needs focus and of course gears to protect the person physically such as welding gloves, welding helmets, and other equipment in protecting a person from harm. These are the things an employee who works in welding field should have to ensure his safety and of course his health too.

Music to be Stressed Free

Music is one of the best past time a mom could listen to every time she’s busy especially if she’s doing the household chores. Well, I totally agree with that. There are plenty of tasks I do everyday and one of the things help me out from getting stress is listening to music. I just remember how my cousin plays his guitar. He got a lot of Egnater Guitars in their house and I really love the way he plays those. Well, if ever I’d be given a chance to learn even one, I would grab all the opportunity to study about it.

The First is Still the Best

Guest post of the week by Bradley Guthrie

In preparation for the premier of season five of my favorite show on denver direct tv, I’ve been rewatching the previous four seasons of Mad Men. Now that I’ve rewatched each season, I have to say my favorite season is still season one. It’s when we first met Don Draper, the literally self-made man who appeared to have it all. I say that he was literally self-made because his real name is Dick Whitman and he stole the name from a fellow soldier who died in the war where they were fighting together. To his credit, he does take care of the original Don’s wife. You want to think it’s out of kindness but it really wasn’t. It was just a means to protect himself and the life he carefully crafted. And boy, does he seem to have it all! A beautiful wife, two kids, a great job, lots of money. The first season sets it all up in a beautiful fashion, making the crashing house of cards in seasons 2 through 4 all the more interesting. Without season one, there could be no future seasons, no continuing episodes of the drama that has entertained me for hours on end.

Chicken Macaroni Salad

I was watching a koreanovela entitled PASTA in Netflix yesterday and I suddenly craved for Macaroni Salad, weird huh? In that series they are making different kinds of foods that made me drool and crave for different dish. I am done cooking with shrimp scampi the other day, yesterday I end up eating cup noodles because I saw it in PAST too and now I am making ….

Chicken Macaroni Salad

1 cup elbow macaroni (not cooked)

1/2 lb boneless chicken breast or ham (cooked/cubed)

1pc apple (cubed)

1/2 cup onion (chopped into small pieces)

1/2 cup raisin

1 hard boil egg (cubed)

1 1/2 cup mayonaise

1 tsp salt

and

1 tsp pepper

Making Macaroni Salad is as easy as abc..all you have to do is boil the macaroni noodles, cook the chicken if you don’t have the canned chicken breast, boil the egg and of course chop the ingredients that needs to be chopped.

After preparing all these ingredients, start mixing the elbow macaroni and the mayonnaise together. Make sure to mix them evenly the start mixing all the other ingredients too. Put some salt and pepper to taste.

Now my appetizer is ready! Hmmm yummy!

ENJOY!

Stressed Away

Being a full time mom is a difficult task yet it is one of the best roles in life that every single man couldn’t have. Well, being a mom is totally different from being a dad yet being a parent is a priceless gift given by God.

As a mom, we tend to work the best for our kids, and so we often forget of the things that we should do for ourselves. We don’t actually know if we’re already stressed and haggard. Luckily, my kids are very honest and so they always tell me if I am looking old already. Good thing is that my friends told me about Cleopatras Choice facial care. It sounds very intriguing as it is Cleopatra’s Choice. Of course, who doesn’t know about the beautiful Cleopatra?

Paying Electric Bills Online

How do you often pay your bills not on time? Probably, most of you encounter same thing as most of us don’t have any helper at home, which can take over of the things we are doing for us to have time to go to billing to pay our electric bills. My cousin have told me about paying bills online yet I’ve got no idea on how does it work and if it is safe to make transactions online as I’ve encountered getting into trouble previously. She really convinced me to try it out and since I do have lots of questions if how does this work, then she tell me about treasury management training. This training will teach us how to make transaction by paying our bills safer and getting discounts and so much benefits compare in paying it in billing stations. I haven’t tried it out yet but as my cousin told me, it really made her work easier as she no longer needs to get worried on how to pay her electric bills on time. And so, I wanted to try it too. Probably, the next billing statement I will be receiving by the end of this month.

Dried Pusit(Squid)

Oh it’s been a long time since I haven’t tasted this yummy Filipino delicacy – Dried Pusit (Squid)!

I love buying this kind of food especially when it’s from the streets together with the fried peanuts.

This one is different coz it’s a special one and I am sure much more expensive than those I am buying from the street. No wonder it’s tastier!
