Mom's 60th

Mom celebrated her 60th birthday yesterday, and of course this very special occasion shouldn't pass without a celebration. So many foods were served that day (we had the party here in the house), but I decided to share this cake, because half of this cake was from the GC I got when I attended the Red Ribbon event. It was so nice when you get to see (and taste) the product of your "hardwork." Hehehehe.

Happy birthday, mommy. I love you so much!

Hotdogs

Last weekend, after coming home from my short trip in Divine Mercy Shrine, I attended a children's party. It's the birthday of 'te Indang, our neighbor. She celebrated her 39th birthday on 02 September, but they had the celebration 30 August. It was a children's party, yes... because of an accident when she was still a baby, her mind is as if she's only 7 years old. Well, she's not really that immature - she can do a lot of things adults can do, there were just some instances that you might not be able to understand her way of reasoning.

Anyway, since it's a children's party and most of the guests were kids, they prepared all sorts of foods that would appeal to kids - including this one: hotdog on stick with marshmallow. Actually it's more of a hotdog with marshmallow on a toothpick, hehehe... It's cute to see these small hotdog balls - I didn't know there was a new kind of hotdog, last thing I saw were the cocktails, which was a smaller version of the regular hotdog.

But this was a big hit in the party. I, too, loved it in the sense that I can eat it in one bite (taking out the toothpick first, of course)... and it was just then that I realized that hotdogs and marshmallows tasted good when eaten together. One salty, the other sweet. Delicious!

Divine Breakfast

To those who read a post in An Autobiography in the Works (my personal blog), you probably know that I went to the Divine Mercy Shrine with my friend Humps. When we arrived in the church, we roamed a bit, and upon seeing a little food kiosk, we decided to eat breakfast first.

He had the chicken mami, while I opted for the plain lugaw. He just bought a serving of fried tokwa to go with my food. It didn't really taste good - the rice in the lugaw was way too mushy (it actually didn't look like rice at all), and the chicken mami was very salty, but it did manage to fuel us up for a whole morning of walking and picture taking. =)

Thanks for the breakfast treat, Humps!
