The Dresden Files and a baby crib..

Yesterday was a day of firsts. It was my first time to watch a few episodes of the Sci-Fi series The Dresden Files, my first time to attend a Kiddie party in the middle of the week and my very first time in assembling a baby's crib!

After the party - my Panget and I together with Imma and Marshall then went on to Metrowalk - to buy some DVDs. After an hour or so - I convinced my Panget to eat Halo-Halo at Icebergs (asm my mom said that the Halo-Halo there was okay). After our mid-afternoon merienda - we headed to my Panget's brother's house. We got there just in time (we were supposed to help him fix and transfer stuffs around the house - he and his wife are expecting ther first child soon) - He was watching a new series he discovered, The Dresden Files; at first it seemed weird - but give it about 15 minutes and it gets better. It's a Sci-Fi series with a merry mix of comedy, action, sci-fi and mystery. It seemed to me like the male version of Charmed - but with only one male lead and his female cop friend whom he calls Murphy.


After watching a few episodes of the Dresden Files and with a little persistence of my Panget's SIL (who was watching us via webcam) we then proceeded in assemble-ing (what's the correct spelling???) the crib that was lent to them. I was with two guys - two guys who had no clue what a crib looked like! We were bringing the pieces from the baby room to the master's bedroom. I was actually quite shocked that they didn't know what a crib looked like! It was then that it dawned on me that these were guys - they didn't care about cribs! They were absolutely clueless on what should go where! It was a really a funny thing! The SIL of my panget insisted on wanting to watch us assemble the crib - so I had to move the laptop so she can view us working. I enjoyed every minute of assembling that crib - every single second! The 3 of us worked together -with me - telling them what went where and what to do. I was kind of the boss - and they were willing subjects - very willing as I never heard them contest, complain nor whine. They just followed. Nice huh? :) I think my Panget's brother was glad we were there to help him - he told us that he does not even know what a crib looked like, what more - assemble one! And now he knows - he's a first time dad you know and I think most guys would assume that a crib will be delivered to your doorstep - assembled and ready to be slept in. Well, that's what my Panget told me. I'm really excited to meet my Panget's neice! If I'm excited - I think my Panget's brother and his wife are more excited! See you soon baby girl!

Here's an image on what the crib looks like - sans the baby and the other stuffs:


That's what it really looks like (no joke!) I found it weird that when I hit the search button at Google Images - this was the first thing that came out. Coincidence? Probably!!

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
