My Jacob-bee






Jacob or as I fondly call him Jacob-bee; is our 'male' family dog, he's the one who got Jenna pregnant - who is her half-sister by the way (they have the same dad). When he got to us (the messenger picked him up and he was kept in a box) he was so madungis and we think he puked (he got dizzy from the ride siguro). We had the helper bathe him, but still after his bath - he still had this funny smell.

Jacob is a super energetic dog. Super energetic meaning there's no stopping is playfulness! When I reprimand him, he still thinks I'm playing around. He's not as bright as Jenna but somehow, I was able to teach him how to stay flat and how to 'sleep' - that is lying on one side. He's so photogenic! In pictures he looks so cute, so angelic and so peaceloving! But in reality, he's so naughty and playful!! He barks like crazy - he's male dog but his bark - it has this shrieking sound!! He barks like crazy whenever there's a visitor or a stranger, but when this person wants to go near him - he backs away and hides!! Cute huh?!

Just recently, my mom and I found Jacob's hair full of matts! We've had him groomed, de-matted him but still, there were matts. After a week, my mom and I decided on cutting his hair. We didn't realize that we had to follow a certain pattern - so that his hair would still look nice. We cut and cut, we cut all the matts we saw, and when finally we were satisfied - WE WERE HORRIFIED because Jacob looked scary! He looked like he was wearing a ruffled shirt! That's how bad the haircut was. But nevertheless - I didn't love him less.

Jacob's so endearing at times. He'd come to me looking sad, yun pala he just wants to be put on my lap - so he can sleep!! Ang lambing diba?? But there's one thing he needs - that's a fresher breath!! Gosh, his breath smells like - I can't really decribe it but it stinks! It really stinks... But still - I love Jacob!! :)

He's turning 1 on July 6th - he's grown bigger, naughtier, smarter (somehow), and heavier (I swear! He's so heavy!!)

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

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
