RIP: Angel Antonio

I never met her, I never knew her.

But I know she was my good good friend Maymay's best friend since High School.

I've heard her name so many times in passing, but we never met.

One of the things I distinctly remember was that - Angel was assigned(or volunteered) to make Maymay's wedding AVP - and after making the AVP, she told Maymay that she was sawa na with looking at our Beijing barkada pics because there were so many! Hahaha...

I know for a fact that she is loved by many.

I know too that she will be missed.

For all your wonderfulness Ange - to Maymay (and to your friends) - Thank you!

I can't believe how affected I am, I mean - I didn't know her at all! Is it because her best friend is one of my good good good friends? I consider Maymay a sister (as we were really in Beijing) and I feel her pain, I knew how important Ange was to her..

Rest in Peace, Angel Antonio!

My prayers are with you and your family. Always.

    There's something about Angel that you can't put a finger on. There are people who aren't too keen about her circle of friends, but she was always an exception. Always. Perhaps because she was just a simple, kind person who managed to get along with ANYONE. She would level with whomever she was talking to. She would make a genuine effort to get along with anyone. Angel was free of pretension.

    This just goes to show that a kind person like her will always be remembered by people she has crossed paths rather pleasantly.

    Hi, I used to work with Angel in the same company. Although I only got to work with her for a short period of time, I got to know her well enough because she was easy to get along with.

    I was just telling a friend earlier today that I still cannot believe she is no longer with us. I still have this image of her as a lively and cheerful person. I've actually visited her Friendster twice already just to look at her pictures. It still bothers when I think of how early she lost her life. For someone who appears to have so many plans in life, it is really sad to think that she won't be able to realize her plans anymore.

    She’s one of the few people I know who seems to have everything that anyone would want to have in life. She was smart, pretty, and well-to-do. She has her family and lots of friends to support her, but in a split second, everything was taken away from her. For all us who knew her, we were suddenly reminded that everything we have in life is temporary and it makes you look back at how you spent your own life in the past few years. I just really hope she’s happy and peaceful wherever she is right now. I hope she gets to see or hear all these messages of praises from her friends.

    I knew her from high school. We were team mates and she was a wonderful captain. She never gave me a hard time or made feel out of place. She had a very sweet smile, face and demeanor. I really looked up to her. Her beauty, kindness. intelligence and atheleticism was very inspring. When I found out about her death, I was shocked and sad. She had a lot of things going for her. She was young too. Just a year older than me. We weren't close but she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. That's why hearing such sad news left a crack in my heart.

    I met Angel because we used to go to the same gymnastics class when we were still in HS though we went to different schools. I remember how friendly she was & always had this smile on her face.
    I just found out now that she passed away almost 3 years ago. Can someone share what accident she was involved in?
    May she rest in peace.

    I think she died in a car accident while on her way home.

    I browsing the net trying to find old friends and then I suddenly thought of going back to this page... in a few weeks, it will be 3 years since she died.

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 ...

#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 t...

#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 s...
