Looking Forward to Frugal Christmas Year 3

Aug 10th 2010Around the Metro & Me & Money Watch

In a few weeks’ time, the -BER months are here. I’m sure there are those who are getting their Christmas thingamajigs ready in time. Decors, multi color led christmas lights, fabrics like curtains, pillow case and table covers, the tree of course and shopping for gifts.

Funny how the malls put Christmas decorations being sold alongside Halloween paraphernalia. Seems like every year, Christmas is becoming more and more about shopping, shopping and more shopping. Commercialism benefits those who are in the business but not those who charge using their plastic.

Gone are the days when simple celebrations are more meaningful and appreciated. Christmas now comes with a price tag and so for this year, we will have a Frugal Christmas Year 3.

Cheese Dynamite

Jul 30th 2010Around the Metro & Food and Dining & Food Friday & Philippines & Photos & Urban Living

Cheese dynamite, a chili pepper with cheese inside, coated with crunchy crumbs. As I have said, it IS the bomb.

Cheese Dynamite

I grabbed the photo from my other blog where I featured Cafe 5845 which will serve varied dishes with cheese daily till the end of August. The food being served are from the same people that gave us 5,845 cheese dishes that got a Guinness Record last December 2009.

Cafe 5845 is located at the North Wing of SM Mall of Asia. It has a lovely garden ambiance but has modern kitchen and lcd monitors for your viewing pleasure.

It is a must-visit indeed.

To the curious: hindi maanghang.

Trouble in the Neighborhood

Jul 5th 2010Around the Metro & Family Matters & Philippines & Thoughts & Urban Living

I am “listening” (meaning webTV is on) to Dateline and got interested in the story about Emery Kauanui Jr who got killed tragically by a group called Bird Rock Bandits. The supposedly safe place they live in had hidden violence, it seems.

There are those whose sons and daughters got caught up in situations like these. I have blogged about my concerns in our neighborhood a few times already. I really hope and pray that nothing like this happens to us. As my daughter said a few times, “bayaan mo sila magkagulo sa labas basta wag nila tayo idamay” “Let them have trouble among themselves, just leave us out of it.”

If only it is as easy as that. Not when I hear heckling from a group of young men walking outside or a young couple berate each other and beat each other physically on the street. In front of our gate. Sigh…
