SMC Girls - Lunch at Conti's

For this FIRST TIME since we became friends I WAS THE FIRST ONE at our venue - Conti's Greenhills!! I thought I was already late as I left the house at about 12:30pm and got to Conti's at 12:45pm. As I entered the place I was expecting to see Shirley, Gue, Cherry, Carol, Carissa, Mira and Bobot - I was also expecting to hear Mira say 'Diba ang usapan was 12:30pm lunch?' But I got shocked to discover that THEY WERE NOT YET IN THE RESTAURANT. I looked at my watch to check the date and time. I was thinking that maybe I went on the wrong day, maybe it was next Saturday! And so I called Shirley to ask where she was. She answered my call and apologized immediately saying that they're all on their way since nagpasundo pa si Cherry and CArol kay Gue sa Binondo - then dadaanan pa sha in QC before coming over. I was thinking - teka, parang matagal pa ah.. But ok lang since the place was PACKED as in literally PACKED ok? I was waiting for a table for 8 and I was number 8 pa! Grabe diba? The place was kinda small lang kasi and I guess they just opened recently. So I just waited. Shirley called me to say na Mira, Bobot and Carissa were all on their way to the restaurant. Ako naman, I didn't mind the wait but I was really super sleepy pa kasi - I went to watch the BSB COncert the night before. So, anyways - ayun.. so I waited.. waited till about 1:15pm when Carissa called to look for me inside the restaurant. She missed me kasi - I was reading the newspaper that time (reading the BSB interview of Ricky Lo) then we got to make kwento and catch up on things.. parang ang tagal na naming hindi nag-uusap ni Carissa!! Anyways - everyone arrived at 2:00pm complete na kami by that time.

- the food was really GREAT!!
- Mira & Bobot - do I hear wedding bells?? :)
- Gue - you look so nice... Blooming.. Yiheeeeee!!
- it was nice to see and catch up with everyone!!
- sa uulitin - but next time - SURE na ako, hindi ako mauunang dumating!! I'm always late!! hahaha... :)

I'll post pics as soon as Carol sends them to me.. Hehehe... :)

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby. My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed. My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed. In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production. My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time. I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't think I can w
