We love pizza. Who doesn’t?

But with the prices of everything going north, at times, we resort to having these done at home, using whatever food we have. The dough is store bought, for I can buy these ready-made dough in the supermarkets I have already forgotten how to make one  when I enrolled for baking classes eons ago.

The pizza above was made from the store-bought dough, cheese dog slices, pineapple pieces, spaghetti sauce (I put some dried basil in the sauce and itty-bitty garlic bits) and cheese. Not as good as the pizza that can be had in pizza places but the children enjoyed eating what we prepared and that what matters most.

By the way, my children just love the all-cheese pizza and not the one with all sorts of toppings.

What are your favorite pizza toppings?

I have featured this Sand Crab here for Wordless Wednesday and here for Photo Hunter.

But I still want to feature another photo. Why?

Because I have several photos of this tiny creature and I just had to post this last one before the photos are archived.

I remember running after these sand crabs whenever we go to the beach, when I was a young girl. Well, I still do, try to catch them but they are just too fast for me, hiding into their little holes in the sand.

Speaking of sand, it is interesting to note that there are a lot of beaches here in the country with white powdery sand that from afar one would think these are diamond rings glowing.

The beach where I had that photo taken, I do not know why the sand where the waves hit turned black when the rest are not the same. The sand there is not as white as the other places in the country but it still puzzled me so because it was not like that when we went there before.

Minor oil spill perhaps? I hope not. I just want to share this post about the 31 Ways to Save the Ocean Group Writing Project that I joined early this year.

Several weeks ago, I wrote a post about cars here, emphasizing on the color silver. Our family is fond of going to car shows. The children collect cars and they do not settle for those out of this world designs but get the real car designs. My son can name the different makes of his favorite cars and even calls these by their engine names.

Anyway…

City living (particularly here in Metro Manila) + having a car = getting an auto insurance. Why?

The roads are bumpy, and even the main thoroughfare called EDSA is one bumpy, rough road. One never knows what is on the road ahead and there have been so many accidents involving those little islands they have erected along this major road which should not have been the case.

Streets inside residential places have humps (placed by the homeowner in front of his home) every few meters or so. I kid you not. Poor vehicles have their suspension groaning. If it keeps the kids playing on the streets from getting hit, I understand.

The traffic is so bad, even with six lane roads, it IS very bad and slow moving. And when traffic is bad and vehicles are bumper to bumper during rush hour, just pray that your car…

Today, my family and I went to attend the Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer Cancer Walk at the SM Mall of Asia in Manila.

Breast cancer is what claims the lives of women ages 35 – 54 worldwide. The Philippines has the highest incidence of breast cancer in Asia . That in itself is an alarming piece of information.

The question usually that comes mind when these things affect a family member, particularly the mother is, “What would happen if I die?”

There are different ways to answer this questions and that would depend on how the parents, particularly mother has raised her children.

It is my belief that parents should teach their children about responsibilities of taking care of themselves and of their family members. Who else would, should do that, help each other but family?

Some try to secure the financial aspects of their family members by starting to get life insurance quotes that will help them in times of need.

There are those who draw their will for the family members even if they are still strong and young.

Much as we do not like to discuss this topic, we will all face the end of our journey here on earth so it is best to leave everything taken cared of.
