Food for Christmas

During Christmas season, I enjoy food the most. It is because it is the time of the year when my fatherprepares the delicious food. And I know for a fact that my father is a great cook. I remembered that everytimethere is a party here at home, there is usually no leftovers. It is because our visitors would eventually bring home the food that they can't eat. Their favorite is the "dinuguan" (thank God I don't eat that food).

This Christmas, we will be savoring the taste of my dad's "Hamon". This is his version of the ham we usuallybuy from the supermarket.

But of course, for some of the food we will be having, mom helped out. She is the one in charge of cookingfor our everyday meals. My dad only cooks during special occassion.
Here, she is doing the "little shrimps" mixed with flour and eggs. Then, fried.

Have a sumptous Christmas everyone.

12-21-2010 Lunar Eclipse

(This is my first attempt to upload a video in my blog site. This is because I am planning to upload more videos about my handicrafts. Stay posted.)

Candies of Christmas

I wrapped up some candies using a colored cellophane and shape it like a candy. Then I distributed it to the carollers.
I really love celebrating Christmas like this. During this time of the year, I see to it that I could give as much to everyone. But of course, it is not that much though...
Gone are those days when the trunk of my car is full of instant noodles and canned goods. Then I would go to my friends in the mountains and give it to them.
Now, I have to maximize what I have.
Besides, this maybe the last Christmas I will celebrate outside.
Merry Christmas everyone.

The Magick of the Moon

During Supper, I heard that there will be a Lunar Eclipse today. I hurried and got my camera to capture its essence.

This is really meaningful it is because this is the 3rd Lunar Eclipse of the year. And it occurred on December 21, 2010... which is when converted to numerology is 1-2-2-1-2-0-1-0... Hhmmm, seems like a code to me. Nahh, I will just deal with it when I am not busy.

In the meantime, enjoy the shoots I got of the moon. Although I am not using a very sophisticated gadget, I tried my best to capture its beauty with series of shoots.

Stopover at the land of "Aswang"

I was really very excited. On the way to Boracay, we had a stop over at Capiz. We ate our lunch there. This is my first time to travel to this place.

With all the stories I have heard about the place, I couldn't help it but wander what is in this place.

Maybe this is the reason why I ordered chicken. Just to be sure... hehehe

Lost pet

When I went home from work, I found out that Pucca was missing. This cat is very important to me because she had the same markings as Aurora (my pet that went missing a year ago). We tried to look for her inside the house. I also asked neighbors if they saw her. She couldn't be found anywhere. I feared that she will become another Aurora.

I was more worried about Pucca than Aurora. It is because Aurora knows the in and out of the house. While Pucca stayed only inside the house. So I was worried that she might not know the way back inside the house.

I slept with a heavy heart. It is because a night before her disappearance, she went inside my room and slept there. Since Tigger (my cat room mate) doesn't mind it, I let her slept in.

During lunch time of the following day, I went home from work just to check if she is already home. But she wasn't.

When I went home during the night, my parents found her just in the kitchen.

I was very happy.

Some people might not understand why I am very emotionally attached with my pet. This is because I grew up with them as my real friends. They are fun to be around. They are always faithful to me.
