Dancing with the Stars

When I was little, my mom told me that I used to sing and dance in pre-school. I believed her because she has pictures to prove that I did! And so as I grew up, I thought that I had a singing voice, unfortunately – I didn’t practice it.

American Idol was one of my favorite shows, that was when Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell were still in it. When Paula left and was replaced by Ellen, the show was not as good for me anymore. I wasn’t as excited to watch it unlike before.


For quite a while now – years actually, my Panget has been telling me that he’s been intrigued with Dancing with the Stars. To be quite honest, I was laughing inside – I mean, my Panget? Interested to watch Dancing with the Stars? Really now? I’ve been waiting for him to start downloading, but it never happened. So I just dismissed it as some sort of a curiosity that went away from time to time.
But Last week was different, he FINALLY downloaded the season premiere! I was shocked and excited – shocked because he finally did it, excited because I am really a fan of ballroom dancing, I like the steps and the gracefulness of the dances.

So lo and behold, my Panget and I watched the first episode last week, the elimination the day after that and just the other night the second episode and the elimination right after.

I was honestly on a high – because watching the stars dance with professionally partners made me want to get up and dance! But I know that will never happen as my Panget swears that we will NEVER get up and dance. I, on the otherhand will just dream and imagine myself dancing – alone! Hahaha..
The first episode was really good – the stars we ALL impressive. They all danced beautifully – I mean considering they’re not dancers at all and have little experience in dancing!

My Panget and I will for sure follow this series, for the dancing and the stars too! I was quite impressed with Rick Fox, Audrina Patridge, Bristol Palin, and Kurt Warner!

By the way – if you’re a fan of the show, Jennifer Grey’s on the cast too. Did you recognize her? I didn’t! When they showed a photo of her and Patrick Swayze, my gosh – she looked soooooo different! Wow, a lot of plastic surgery huh?

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
