Pagganunita sa Ika-119 taon ng Kalayaan ng Pilipinas


"Ako ay Pilipino, taas noo kahit kanino."

Kahapon ay ating ginunita ang ika-119 na selebrasyon ng ating Kalayaan. Naghandog ang SM Supermalls sa tulong ng National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA) ng natatanging konsert at exhibit upang ipakita ang natatanging talento ng iba't-ibang Filipino sa larangan ng Architecture and Allied Arts, Cinema, Sayaw, Pag-arte, Pagsulat, Pagtugtog at Visual Arts. 
Ani ng Dangal or "Harvest of Honors" ay isang rekognisyon na ibinibigay ng NCCA sa mga natatanging Pilipino na may angking eksepsyonal na talento at nakilala sa kanilang larangan. 

Kabilang din sa selebrasyon ang maikling konsyerto na ginanap sa SM City North Edsa. Ito ay upang buhayin muli ang ating alaala sa pamamagitan ng pagkanta at pagsayaw. Pinangunahan ng tanyag na Filipinong musikero na si Mr. Joey Ayala na nagbigay ng maikling aral tungkol sa orihinal na pinagmulan ng ating Pambansang Awit. Sinundan ng pagtatanghal ng Kontra Gapi na pawang mag-aaral ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas na ipinamalas ang kanilang galing sa pagtugtog gamit ang mga etnikong instrumento at pagsayaw sa katutubong tugtog nito. At tinapos ng Junior New System ang programa sa kanilang nakaindak na pagsayaw.

Lock&Lock's "National Pa-Baon Month"

It took my sister, Ate Joy of www.occasionsofjoy.com long years to persuade me in creating and publishing my own blog. I created several  blog accounts before, but I quickly lost interest in updating it or not really posting anything at all. So this time, I told her I’d be serious and follow her footsteps. After all, she made herself quite famous by blogging just about anything that comes into her mind! Hehehe! At first, I wasn’t that interested since I was working and does not have the time to really sit down and write something. This time however,  I decided that I will start blogging to maximize my time and keep myself busy since I have stopped working and currently (and proudly!) a stay-at-home mommy since 2014. Finally last week, I attended global brand Lock&Lock, a leader in food container technology, as they declare June 2016 as their first “National Pa-baon Month”. As a mom, this is very applicable since I have a 5 th grader who brings her own baon to sc...

Vita Cubes 2Good Moment

It was an awesome afternoon at Active Fun Bonifacio yesterday, as we celebrated Vita Cubes 2Good Fun Day! It was my first time to attend an event with Mommy Bloggers Philippines and met other seasoned and newbie bloggers just like me. Waldy, Yuri and I had so much fun going around the party, joined games, watched the magic show and ate a hearty merienda. It was made even better as we got to bring home lots of goodies from Vita Cubes and got a pass for an hour of play at Active Fun for free! Prior to the event, Izhi already introduced Vita Cubes to me as she started including it to her baon list. I never really paid attention to it since I thought it was just another candy she tasted from her classmate. What surprised me was that this cubed-shape jelly candies are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals that are important for growing kids. It’s more like giving vitamins hassle-free to our kids who most of the time don’t like the traditional medicine taste of vitami...

Waldy's craving for Batchoy Tagalog

Its been 2 consecutive Saturdays that we're having Batchoy Tagalog for dinner ( and lunch the other day ). Waldy kept bugging me to cook this dish again, as he's been craving for its sabaw.  When you think about this dish or hear the dish name Batchoy, what comes in mind is how complicated it is to cook. I have to thank Google and those Filipino cooking sites for making life easier for me, as I just have to follow every steps and ingredients to make such a dish.  The first time I tasted this dish was in the home of my friend, Coun. Don De Leon of Quezon City. However, I can't remember if he calls the dish the same name as indicated in the net. What's clear to me is that he told me that the formula to make the soup very savory is, he uses a bit of Bagoong isda and kutsai.  What in the world is kutsai? Is it the same as kinchay? What does it look like and why is it so special? These questions are exactly asked by Waldy when I was giving him the list of the in...
