I spent half of Saturday with hubby’s side of the family at this wonderful country house/resort in the mountains of Rizal province.

It was not really far because our family is used to going this way for road trips especially during Holy Week. It did feel far because of the traffic within the metro outskirts that we passed by.

The children enjoyed every moment. The adults did too. We were amused when one of the uncles brought out an imaginary Famous Smoke humidor and started puffing out his cheeks “like a boss” on vacation.

This outing was made specifically for the second birthday of the youngest member of the family.

My children love Mandarin Oranges though I prefer the tartness of another variety of these citrus fruits.

Below is a photo of large-sized Mandarin oranges plus a small-sized one that the locals call “kiyat-kiyat or kiat-kiat”.

Photo taken from Manila Chinatown, a week before Chinese New Year.

One of the best sunsets in the world.

Or so they say. Go to other countries and you will hear that country’s natives say that about their sunsets.

As for me, no matter where I am, a beautiful sunset is a beautiful sunset.

One of those things that gives the husband a big headache is this message: SERVER DOWN.

He has spent countless late nights on site and more late nights till early morning sessions with his laptop working from home because of this problem. This server down is just one of the problems he has to deal with along with controlling the social media sites that employees love to login to plus a myriad of other technology-based problems they encounter everyday.

I suggested they use attendance tracking software from Gneil if in case they need such help. he said he will look into it.

This is something to ponder when technology-based work is involved: do we want to go back to when things were being done “manually” and not be afraid of having to deal with technology sabotage of important work documents and details?

I have posted Goodies in a Jar here.

Goodies in a jar is an alternative gift to friends and family if you are short in cash in paying for cheap audio-technica mixers for your musically-inclined family member or friend.

Here are two photos of two different goodies in a jar combination that I will feature in my food blog:

Raisins, candy-coated chocolate chips, peanuts and pastel marshmallows.

This has the same contents with the first photo except that there are butterscotch bars and oreo cookies in the jar.

You can customize the contents according to the health condition of the ones you are gifting these with.

We love to look up whenever we are under trees. And why not? It is quite a different experience to see the sunshine through the leaves and feel the cool breeze on your face and feel lost on the maze made by the branches of the trees.
