Spaghetti, with or without meatballs ( I prefer without because these meatballs make my tummy feel uncomfortable) is one of the absolute comfort food favorites.

For us, we prefer our spaghetti smelling of herbs and spices rather than the “sweet style” spaghetti our Filipino kababayans like to have. I tend to cook unconventional pasta dishes from time to time.

Give me a plate of this anytime soon and I may even forget that I am on the lookout for the best diet pills for women. Hay, I’m craving for a plate of this right now and I think later I will…

I got a bagful of skin care goodies the other day. My daughter doesn’t want to have some of these things like the face powder, sunblock and lip balm that I may have to give some away even if the expiration date is still a long way from today.

This is probably good news to me since that means she is not interested in make up. Yet.

She loves to try products that promise to be the best acne face wash though she always chooses this one product among other brands she has tried.

If only I’m more resourceful and try to exert more effort blend mix and blend, I think she would gladly use skin care preparations using natural ingredients.

Some people are shocked to know that I don’t have a credit card. Either I am too poor to afford one (read: too poor to get approval) or I am too much of a miser or I am unwise when it comes to having “emergency spending money”.

My thinking about this is “if I can’t afford it, then I won’t charge it” knowing that even if I don’t know what my credit score is, I don’t worry about interest rates any more than I worry that I wasn’t able to buy that cute dress for my daughter which I can’t afford.

For now, the only things I charge are my gadgets. Heh, corny 😀

It used to be that toys are for a certain gender like dolls for girls and toy cars for boys. Well, it still is, to most people, especially the older ones.

In these big toy stores we go to, the invisible demarcation lines of dividing the toys for the boys and toys for the girls is apparent. The girls’ section is all pink and girly-girly while the boys section has bright and bold colors.

As a mother, I can’t remember if I made it clear to my children that they can only play some toys due to their gender. For one, our youngest daughter loves guns, robots, swords, shields and police-related paraphernalia. As a matter of fact as I tucked her to sleep a while ago, I sat on a Gormiti character on the bed. Ouch.

Yep, that is what her current favorite is now: Gormiti characters. Not that I don’t mind her liking these and playing the online game but asking us to get.her.one.character.after.another is not really funny.

We must work harder with her studies and perhaps she might get what she wishes for 😉

Today’s sunset seems to be very special. First, I commented that somewhere out there people have wonderful sunset sky scenes.

Little did I know that my son who stayed at home with me today took the camera and went out to take photos. I only knew about it when he came back to the house carrying the tripod on his way out again 😀

Here is our sunset photo a few hours ago. Here are other sunset photos in this blog.

Several people took sunset photos and shared these in a site where my friends and I congregate to chat so I’m sure not only people on a Royal Caribbean trip are able to see these play of colors at the end of the day.

It feels great to know people still appreciate these things and stop to make the scene frozen in pixels.
