Jane Go - my Christmas 2013 Angel

I have been a lurker of Jane's blog for quite a while now. I love visiting her blog because her happy-ness is contagious! When I'm having a not so good day, I just type her URL and voila - a smile creeps up my fave. My friend Kath loves her too and one of the reasons is that she's so fasyon and fabulous! Read her posts and you'll see what I mean.

So imagine my shock, kilig-ness and pure joy when she invited me to do a guest post. I mean, ME? Didi? Was she serious? I had to read her email THREE freaking times just to be able to absorb the reality that, she emailed me! I was literally in shock - but mind you, I replied immediately. So I guess, I must be speed reading at that! Haha!! :) You can read about my post here.

I was still reeling with shock and delight and then I received another invitation to meet her. Gosh, I was rolling all over the floor in happiness! I was so kilig and over the moon. I was so excited to meet her. The countdown was both exciting and nerve wracking.

And we finally met. Jane is exactly how she writes. Ganon na ganon. Literally! She's so fun, friendly, bursting with happiness, loving, cute, and a romantic! She and her Kap are so cute together! They're two lovebirds! Her kids are gorgeous too! Wonderful genes! Hahaha... I had a wonderful time chatting and getting to know the Go's..

Jane - I love that you are such a happy person. You are FABULOUS! And so are Jeff, Jana, Jonah and Jena! :) I love that you have such a supportive family - they were with you the whole time! :) Nakaka-inggit! :) But seriously, it shows how intact your family is - and honestly, it made me realize that I want that with my family too. I now understand why you were so sad that I was flying solo! You guys are my peg! I wish I can be as fab as you are! :) Hahaha... :)

Thank you so much for your love, generosity and the warmest Southern welcome ever, Jane! You are in my heart FOREVER! :) You made me fall in love with you more that we have met. I promise to visit you with my daughter Kailee in tow. Let's pain the town purple when I visit you!

Visit Jane's blog and see what I'm talking about! Her happiness is contagious!!

Sugar Spice and Everything Nice!

Will be posting more on my Christmas 2013 Angel series..

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
