Looking back at the days...

It's seems that being a mom needs a lot of effort to transform your life to a busy one. I can't imagine that life can be as busy as now compare to the college days I had. During college days, there's a lot of things that I missed- my friends, the bonding, the closeness, the school days, the fun. When I came to remember those things, I realized that life now is more complicated and needs more responsibilities for the family. Level-up to the next level, more chores to do when there is a child, more dinner to prepare when there is an in-laws visit and more argue to have with my hubby. But then, these things made me whole now and if I am going to choose to- I will always choose to have my family at this age. No matter what adjustments needed, I still make it because looking back at the days...now I have my own precious family to live with.

Kofiholic in the making

Hubby and I are planing to put a small business here in our town- Cabanatuan Nueva Ecija. At first, we were thinking about having an Internet cafe with snack bar named as "Wireless bites". So after the feasibility studies that we have, we came by putting up a snack and coffee shop. Well at this moment-it is so difficult to budget our start up money and seeking for trusted suppliers and wares for our store. But first, we have to make a lot of renovation at the place, starting from the paints, flooring, lights, furniture and a lot more! The place that we rented is a former Internet cafe that is within 100 kms from a school, a hospital and a specialists clinic here in Maharlika highway Cabanatuan City Nueva Ecija. The place is so promising, so as the food we offer is very reasonable at its price and really a delicious treat for every one. Also, we have an array of choices of specialty frappe that was studied and used only premium and world class materials. And while you are relaxing but then your children wants to come with you, we have XBOX 360 units and PS2 units that they can play using headsets and wireless controllers.

Rice is one of the easiest to cook yet boring, but there's a lot of innovation to get that plain rice on a rock and roll rice. So this is my first recipe for Rice rock and roll edition, Java rice! I'm not sure where does Java Rice originated, either India or Indonesia but still it is one of the most popular rice mix in the Philippines. This rice mix is so tasty and so delicious, yu can find yourself hook into it.

Mario vs Luigi

Being a mom, it is very challenging to fit in with the fantasy world of our children. My son is just starting to grow up and being a toddler, he is not yet into computer and arcade games. But I have a bunch of cool little nephews playing their Nintendo DS-Lite each time whenever they finish school assignments and before going to bed. They do have a lot of fun and of course, I also do. We went into New Super Mario Brothers- Mario Vs. Luigi in their DS-Lite. It is so great that we can do play on network in a versus battle. So whoever wins over me shall have the other DS-Lite, unfortunately after a lot of games they only won twice over me. There is a time when my eldest nephew cheated the small ones, and the youngest among them punch him. So the battle ends with a punch and play is over-yet discipline just got started. Play always comes with responsibilities and of course- adults supervision. In the positive side, they learn how to play strategically and fair. On the contrary, sometimes they got punch out or punch someone because of losing it. So it's up to us moms to get them disciplined and play with them fairly.
