Gulay na kakainin talaga ng mga bata
Ingredients:
1/2 kilo of sayote
1/4 kilo og ground pork
tomatoes, onion, garlic for sueteing
salt and pepper and sugar to taste
Directions:
Saute garlic, onion and tomatoes then add the ground pork, I preferred ground pork, lalo na kung mga bata ang kakain, pero kung medyo matatanda ang kakain mas maganda kung hindi ground and gamitin, then let it cook, after that put the sayote then saute for a minute or more, then add a little water and the seasoning, sugar here is optional, I just include it to have a sweet taste that children loves. Then when the veggie is cook turn the heat off and serve it with steam rice. My kids loves it. Very easy talaga. As I browse the oprah archieve shows, i saw tis topic about scams in the web, grabe may mga nadenggoy pala yung mga e-mail na dumadating sa atin na nagsasabi na nanalo ka daw sa lottery, may tao from Nigeria na mayaman na naghihingi ng tulong, ngek, may mga kumakagat pala sa mga ganito, at take not marami pala! eh sa akin pag di ko kilala ang sender, sorry trash agad sya (pwera na lang kung may attachment na bold, joke joke joke). Wala lang naalala ko lang yung dati kong post regarding Money in the web, hay naku, wala ka talagang mapapala sa mga ganong bagay. Sabagay sino nga bang g*go ang magbabayad sayo ng malaki kung mag surf ka lang. Hay naku mga tao talaga.   Margareth and Madelene graduated today, marga completed pre-school and she will be in elementary next year, and madelene will be Kinder 1 next year. Oh well, very stressful but worth it, time really fly past, imagine my two little girl now really moving too fast.
It's been how many years now that friendster is actively participating in the social life of "young" (at mga nagpapaka young) filipinos. As I remembered I heard about friendster, I think way back early of 2003 (sa net 25). And since then many filipino love's it. It's very enjoyable kasi, you can update your friends and your relatives even the distant ones, it's very nice to see your long lost friends in the pictures with their family and new friends. Kaya nga kung gusto mong makita kung saan saan nakakarating yung mga friends mo sa friendster ka magpunta, sigurado 100% may kopya sila sa friendster  . Mapa USA, Hong kong, Singapore, Boracay, Baguio, Tagaytay, Enchanted kingdom, Star City, SM, Bayan, Kanto, tambayan name it, sigurado nandon. Syempre di rin magpapahuli yung mga naggagandahang mga pictures ng mga cute nating mga babies, basta nakangiti sigurado may kopya ang friendster kahit na kuha pa sa cellphone o sa web cam, at syempre di mawawala kung mga magaganda nating mga kuha, kahit na nga kuha pa yun nung di pa naiimbento ang friendster. Pero ok lang that's Pinoy! ito nga ang maganda sa pinoy masaya na kahit sa maliliit na bagay.
Kakainis, I can't find my draft nung mga di ko natapos na entry! . Hay pero ok lang, just right now when I check my mail I received an invitation from Eugene Diwa, one of my classmate back in highschool, nakakatuwa, kasi meron din pala syang multiply, and I found out na meron din yung iba ko pang friend, (like robert, and siguro meron pang iba) and take note he invite me as business partner, naks hanep, ba't di kaya friend?  . Pero ok lang at least he invited me. Just to have something to say...... Eugene is somebody na masyadong tahimik, (dati, ewan ko lang ngayon) and seryoso at syempre mabait, yup sa ilang taon naming magkasama nung highschool parang wala akong maalala na nakaaway niya sa school kahit isa o siguro di lang kami masyadong close noon. After highschool we had a change to know each other better (naks, better daw) actually kasi nagkakausap kami noon sa phone kaya ganon! Doon ko nalaman na he's very nice, very true, very down to earth, sweet and always surprises me . Then during our college days medyo naging busy na kami pare-pareho kaya nalawa na yung aming communication pati na rin sa iba pang barkada. Tapos after how many years he just pop up to my e-mail, inviting me in his friendster, katulad ko he already have his own family,parang ganun pa rin parang wala pa rinn siyang pinagbago, the way he look and the way he talk, ganun pa rin, simple pa rin. After that invitation in friendster we exchange messages kung kamusta na ang mga buhay buhay, after that stop na naman ulit, then again after how many months another invitation from him. Nakakatuwa talaga, kasi kahit papaano nagkakaroon kami ng chance to update each other. Hope he put something in his blog para sa susunod yun naman ang mabasa..  Link: http://www.marketmanila.com/Description from the blogger itself : Market Manila is my way of helping two groups of people: new arrivals and interested locals who, like me, had no clue where to find ingredients, what local produce existed, where to get specialty food items, etc.; and secondly, farmers, market vendors, retailers, who had the foresight to seek out the best the Philippines has to offer and take the risk of selling these to nutcases like myself. Market Manila is also my reason to overspend and overbuy every time I am in a market or food store with the excuse that it is just part of my "research budget."  Yesterday, I finally able to purchased what I really want for months, a fax machine, it's a simple Panasonic plain paper fax machine and copier as well, I've been surfing a lot to find a right one, visiting different sites of different shops that offer fax machines (local only, syempre), web sites of different maker of fax machines to compare their specifications and read some reviews, at dahil doon syempre feeling ko alam na alam ko na ang bibilhin ko, and I already made up my mind of what I'm going to buy, but Good is really good because before I left the house yesterday, napagtripan kong tawagan yung isang friend ko to ask kung anong model nug kanyang fax machine (wala lang, just to have more ideas), then while he's explaining why he choose that model,natigilan ako, kasi medyo iba pala yung idea ko ng fax machine na ginagamitan ng plain paper, oh my god! ang engot ko pala . On our way habang iniisip ko ang mga bagay bagay, I realized that I only look for the special features and the prices hindi ko na inalam kung yung idea ko ba ng plain paper fax machine eh tama, it's just like buying "kinstai" yung nilalagay sa pansit, na only looking kung gaano sya ka-fresh, ka mura at kadami, without realizing na cilantro pala yung hawak ko, hay buhay, now I learn a very big lesson always double check what you are buying and don't rely on your instinct only, always ask the experienced and the professionals. Kung medyo naguguluhan kayo sa aking naishare medyo kanito kasi yun. I only know that there is two type of fax machine (not including the new models na 3 to 4 in one) the thermal type and the plain paper, I tought that plain paper type like a laser printer uses toner, that when it runs out of powder need to be replaced or to be refilled, ngek yun pala yung plain paper eh ginagamitan lang ng ribbon like carbon to produce the image in the paper, unlike the thermal that uses thermal paper syempre na built in the yung kanyang carbon. Hay naku kung medyo magulo na, talagang magulo na wala lang na share ko lang, na ingat sa pagbili baka magkamali. Yun lang.  Today is the official start of classes for this year (public schools schedule), although my daughters school has not yet starting the class pero feel na rin namin yung opening ng classes, today is the parents orientation and fitting of ordered school uniform kaya medyo talagang feel na rin namin. Kaya lang my younger daugther is so small kaya walang nagkasya sa kanyang uniform so kailangan nyang magpasadya. Anyways, every year kung paanong dumarami ang mga students sa public schools doble nun ang pagdami ng problema sa mga schools mismo, simulan mo sa kulang na room hanggang sa mga teachers na magtuturo sa mga bata, I just can't help it not to share what I heard from my sister Myric, last week, I think , she was on the jeepney on her way home when she noticed the remarks on a report card of a child in front of her (elementary student), written there was like this "Kailangan I mag-sikap" with a capital I talaga  , my sister really can't stop her self from asking the student kung sino ang nagsulat ng remarks sa report card, kasi umasa pa rin siya na napag tripan lang ng bata na sulatan yung kanyang report card dahil medyo pangit pa yung sulat (I mean she compared it to the hand written of my niece in 3rd grade), sumagot naman ang pobreng bata "Teacher ko po", heloooo sa loob loob ng kapatid ko, siguro adik sa text yung teacher nito, at siguro habang naglalagay ng remarks sa mga report card eh may ka text yun. Hay buhay paano na kaya ang Pilipinas, hindi na nga natin ma solve ang problema sa ating edukasyon nagiging napaka iresponsable pa ng bawat isa, yup bawat isa kasi parang lahat tayo ay part ng mga problemang ito, simulan natin sa walang humpay na pagdami ng Pilipino na produkto ng malupit na pagmamahalan ng mag-asawa at ng kanilang walang kuwentang disiplina sa sarili (bakit ba ayaw mag family planning, libre naman ang pills sa center!), tapos susundan pa ng mga kapwa Pilipino na nagsasamantala sa kahinaan ng kanilang kapwa, wala na nga, nilulubog pa, tapos ang inutil na gobyerno natin na wala namang magawang maganda kundi ang mag-emote sa media at magpayaman gamit ang mga tax ng mga kawawang mabuting mamamayan ng Pilipinas. Hay sayang, napakarami pa namang matalinong batang pinoy. I'm a product of public school kaya alam ko kung ano ang felling ng nag-aaral dun, my parents really believe that it sucks studying there, that's why they try their best to send me in private school and my sister bago pa mahuli ang lahat, and that's one of the bravest thing they've done for us. Kaya lang kung iisipin mo, parang tinakasan lang namin yung problema, parang nagkaroon lang kami ng pansariling solusyon sa problema, kaya lang kahit gustuhin mo mang bumuti ang sistema, you just can't do that kasi parang napakalaki na at napakahirap nang solusyunan. hay pano nga ba talaga, ngayon na ako naman ang may mga anak na nag-aaral, the cycle just continue, tatakbuhan lang ulit ang problema hanggat kaya, kaya lang ang malaking tanong: hanggang kailan kayang takbuhan?. | Category: | | Other | | Servings: | | 4 |

for everyone |
I'm back it's been months din since my last entry here, the last eh nung january pa and I wrote about our high school barkada's get together na actually di ko pa natapos. Hmmm.. ano na nga ba ang mga naganap. Ah... Ate Marga graduated last April and she's in 6th place in K1 level, I thought she couldn't make it to the top, pero nakahabol pa, I'm so happy with the result of marga's schooling, she enjoy's going to school everyday and enjoys her classmates company very much. I remember nung mga first week ni Marga sa school ang OA ko kasi masyado akong affected sa kanyang mga ginagawa sa school but after few months nagsawa din ako kasi napansin ko na the more you pressure the child to learn more the less they absorb what you are teaching, kaya ang ginawa ko I teach her to enjoy going to school and make a lot of friends kaya nga I didn't expect that she can bring home a medal! . Parang ang bilis dumaan ng 1 school year kasi imagine ngayon malapit na naman ang pasukan, and this school year madelene will be attending nursery kaya medyo riot and every morning namin tuwing may pasok. Hay life, ang bilis talaga tumakbo ng panahon, imagine my two girls now is no longer a babies, now they are all attending pre-school, nakakatuwa talaga kasi I can still remember my pre-school years tapos ngayon sila na. My two girls are really my treasures kahit na minsan nakakarindi na sila, when I look at them I see them as my accomplishment and achievement, hindi ko man sila mailagay o maisulat sa aking resume.   
It's sunday afternoon and I am scanning the picture (and after scanning attached ko to dito sa entry na to) that was taken yesterday during our first get together in 2006 . Balot host this get together to see the inaanak's and give also their gifts as well. After so many years of not seeing them, ngayon ko na lang ulit nakita yung iba sa kanila, if I'm not mistaken last ko pa silang nakita noong wedding ko pa, eh ngayon may mga anak na rin sila. Masaya naman dumating sila Marissa with her baby yzza, divine with baby daniel, mary with toni, donna, vies, raymond and edmar and kami ni marga.  | | this album contain pictures taken during our first get together in the year 2006, in balo'ts place at mapulang lupa valenzuela. |
THINGS DO CHANGE
AS THE WIND BLOWS,
THE TIME FLYS BY.
THINGS DO CHANGE,
AND FRIENDSHIPS DIE.
LEARING FROM MISTAKES,
WE COUNTINUE TO GROW.
NOW FACING THE TRUTH,
WE TRY NOT TO LET GO.
LIVING WITHOUT A FRIEND,
AND WITH ALL THE SHAME.
WE TRY TO FORGET,
THAT IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME.
BUT THE PAIN REMAINS,
AND TEARS FALL FORTH.
NOW MOVING ON,
FOR ALL IT IS WORTH.
FROM LOSING A FRIEND,
WE HAVE GAINED IN RETURN.
THINGS DO CHANGE,
AND FROM THAT WE LEARN.
Margareth my 4 year old daughter is now attending school, she is in Kinder I, hindi ko na siya pinag nursery kasi feeling ko masyado pa siyang bata last year to attend school, saka para makatipid ng isang taon sa pag-papa-aral . Actually parang ngayon ko pa lang totally na- aabsorb ang reality na I already a mom and I have already a grown baby, before, I told to my self, I will not going to be a "that so affected mother" pag dating sa schooling ng anak ko, before ang sabi ko sa sarili ko, hindi ko pipilitin yung anak ko na mag-aral ng husto para ma honor o what so ever, basta dati ang gusto ko lang maging happy siya sa pag pasok sa school at siyempre to know something, but now I don't know what's happening to me! magkamali lang ng pag trace ng letter yung anak ko, masyado na akong affected, in fact hanggang sa pagtulog ko sa gabi naaalala ko pa yung mga ganong bagay, grabe nga eh, minsan OA na ako, siguro epekto na lang ito ng pag tambay ko sa school kausap ang ibang nanay doon, minsan pa nga I feel afraid kasi baka yung ibang classmate niya mas maraming star kesa sa kanya  . Honestly medyo puzzling pa rin sa akin to, I still don't know how to explain my feelings , is it maybe excited pa ako kasi nagsisimula pa lang ang klase? I really don't know, siguro ilang araw pang pagtambay sa school ng anak ko at pag chika sa ibang mommies doon I will surely going to have a conclusion about this.
Whew! after trying many times to search some of my long lost relatives in the internet I finally found 1! And he is Kuya Noel, sa totoo lang mahirap maghanap ng mga kakilala sa internet kung hindi mo alam number 1. ang kanilang full name, 2. kung saan sila naka base (I mean kung saan sila nakatira) 3. kung saan ka maghahanap 4. And last if you lied that you really try many times to find them (hehehe). Back to topic, I am really happy to see him, I see his pictures with his family, actually I found their personal website, nandun yung mga compilation ng mga pictures nila, even their wedding pictures nandon din, wala lang tulad ng mga sinabi ko dati: nakakatuwa lang! But honestly I'm really glad kasi ngayon at least may contact na ako sa kanila, malaman ko man lang na ok sila at malaman din nila na ok lang din kami. I already e-mailed him, sana nga mag reply siya kagad. Kahit di kami naging close I hope he will.  Description:
This is a very quicky way of preparing a shrimp (basta hipon)
But in this case I use Sugpo (d ko alam ang english name nito sorry) sosyal ba? actually I didn't buy it, it just so happend that my in-laws used to be have a small palaisdaan in Pampanga and this is their produce.
Wag nyo nang masyadong pansinin yung picture kasi nakuha ko lang ya sa internet, pero pag nagkadigital cam na kukunan ko talaga ang mga luto ko.
Ingredients:
1/4 kilos of sugpo
2 cups of water
1/4 cup of soysauce
3 tbps of margarine ( I used star garlic flavor)
in case you don't want margarine used fresh garlic about the same amount and some cooking oil.
Directions:
Place the sugpo in a skillet and boil in 2 cups of water, of course don't forget to wash it first. After about 2 minutes stir it to cook evenly, then allow to boil it for another minute. After that take off all the water in the shirmp and set aside (you will going to use it later on) don't turn off the fire, right after you take the water add the margarine to the shrimp and saute it ther for a while then after that put the soysauce and the water that you set aside earlier. Then let it simmer for a minute or two and whoollaa.. your done.
I bet kahit d ka marunong magluto sigurado masarap ang kalalabasan nito. promise.
Kahit walang sawsawan oks pa rin to.
