Weddings and Reminiscing..

My Panget and I attended his cousin's wedding.

Let me be honest, I love weddings - I don't know why. I get teary eyed, smile from ear to ear and get giddy with happiness. The only explanation for this is that - I remember how happy my wedding day was for me.

With the couple's entrance song, I was taken back to my wedding day - because the song they played, was the song used by the magical Pat Dy with his photo slideshow during my wedding last year.

I couldn't help but reminisce the song, the wonderful photo slideshow and what transpired that day. I am sharing with you the lyrics & and video of the song:

Ripe by Ben Lee

The moon sheds light across the end of the bed

You made me wait but now I'm touchin? your leg

And I remember all the little things you said

Quesadillas made with cheese and a rock band who were Japanese

So for once in my life

I saw what I wanted and took a bite

I picked the fruit from the tree

And it was ripe

Your love got big, your jokes got worse each afternoon

Like bacon at a Bar Mitzvah, like a lead balloon

And who?s to say what really happened in that room each day

I was lookin? for a bride, you were lookin? for a groom

So for once in your life

You saw what you wanted and took a bite

You picked the fruit from the tree

And it was ripe

And all you people are the heroes I?ve known

We're staring off the edge into the unknown

We are not there yet but we cannot got home

So we cry and we sing, yeah, I remember everything

How for once in our lives

We saw what we wanted and took a bite

We picked the fruit from the tree

And it was ripe

I know its a long shot but.. I would like to go back in time and relive my wedding day, because it was the calmest I have ever been. No worries, no problems - just smiles and laughter all day. I let the day unfold and surprise me.

Congratulations Eric & Made!! :)
We love you!!

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
