I locked Kailee in the room..

Last night, I was a bad mom.

You see, I left Kailee in our room, because I had to go into theirs to get her a fresh shirt and pajamas. She was playing with water in our bathroom as was all wet - since she was getting sleepy, I had to change her and get her ready for bed.

And so I left her in our room - alone. I walked quickly to their room and got what I needed. When I got out of their room, I could hear Kailee saying 'Mama!' and knocking on the door (from the inside). Her voice was actually excited! She kept on repeating 'Mama!' until I got to the door.

When I turned the door knob, I found it weird that the door didn't open. I turned the knob again, and pushed the door. It still didn't open! I tried it two more times and then I realized - that Kailee must have turned the knob of our double door lock (since it was located within her reach - near the bottom of the door, I remember her playing with it many times when she was younger) - my mind was shouting obscenities already, Kailee was still inside the room calling out for me and she was trying to turn the door knob open. I knelt down on the floor and spoke to Kailee through the door (imagine me on my knees, with my hands on the door) I told her 'Kailee, please turn the knob' and Kailee was responsive because she was trying top turn the door knob! When I saw what she was trying to do, I told her to turn the knob near the floor. I didn't know if she understood, but I kept on repeating for her to turn the knob near the floor. When a few minutes passed, and we weren't progressing, Kailee was already crying - you can sense from her voice that she was scared - I had to go down and tell my Panget. And when I did, he raced up and spoke to Kailee immediately, Kailee was already crying inside the room and calling out 'Mama!' my heart was sinking.

When my Panget tried his luck in opening the door - it was as if a miracle happened, the door OPENED! I was so shocked! I immediately went in the room and scooped Kailee in my arms! My first thought was, she understood what I was telling her to do, thus opening the door! Kailee was crying (not hysterically) and I was telling her how sorry, I was. She clung to me and didn't want to let go. My heart sank - I couldn't believe what just happened.

So, there - I was a bad mom last night because I left Kailee and uknowingly trapped her inside the room. I was so thankful that she somehow understood what I was telling her to do!

I will never ever leave her alone in our room now - I've learned my lesson.

Kailee, Mama is sorry. So very sorry!

I feel so guilty!!!

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...
