“Ang init!” is everyone’s mantra these days to think that summer just started the other day. The heat is unbearable and it seems that everyone wants to eat halo-halo and/or drink fruits shakes 😀

Cooler destinations are crowded of course, especially those nice houses with Amish fireplaces where one can sit in front of to counter the cool weather.

Ahhh, I miss those cool mornings when I take my morning bath and my teeth are chattering. The heat is just so much and we are taking a lot of precautions so we will not get sick.

So, what are your summer destinations?

*ang init = it is so hot!

It is now officially summer in the country and I am sure a LOT of people are now canvassing stores, browsing websites and asking those “in  the know” about the best digital cameras available in the market today, within their budget of course.

I know a lot of people would drool over DSLR, thinking these cameras would make them great photographers. Hmmm… ok, I joined a group in Facebook that says: “Hindi Porke’t May DSLR ka ay Photographer Ka Na” which roughly translates to “Not because you have a DLSR means you are a photographer”

LOL, bitter.

Photography is one of the “in” things these days, aside from running a marathon, blogging and playing Plants Versus Zombies 😀

Still as they say, it is NOT the camera that makes you a photographer, its the way you take photos that makes you one.

Me? I’m not a photographer and I won’t even pretend that I am. I am a hobbyist 🙂

My kids and my students love playing Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects.

Not only do they get to look for the objects in the given lists but they also get to exercise patience, patience and more patience in finding the hidden objects.

They also get to know new words like C clamps, fleur de lis, fedora and licorice.

It gives one a sense of accomplishment when everything has been found and one moves on to the next level.

How do I know? I play the game too 🙂

I am not a snob. If people see me and wave at me but I don’t wave back, I am not snubbing them. If you feel that I stare at you, don’t worry, I am not measuring you up or down.

Truth is, I have bad eyesight. I can’t even read subtitles in the movies nor see what is written on the food menu of fast food places around me. I am almost blind in a room lighted with white light.

Yes, either I get a new pair of eyeglasses, a +2.50 prescription a year ago. I am seriously considering a lasik surgery Mexico package except that I don’t have the budget for the Mexico part 😀

Maybe I see no need to wear glasses yet again except of course when I need to read movie subtitles. Other wise, I am just fine, thank you very much 😀

Have you tried Taco Pizza? The Taco Pizza in the pic below is a part of four flavored pizza from Burgoo.

Not exactly my favorite restaurant nor do I frequent the place,  it  just happened that I have several food photos from this place.

We love tacos. I remember making tacos before but I did not use tacos shells. I used tortilla chips instead.

Hmmm… I better look for a recipe again so we can have this on weekend.

Recipe-hunting would be more fun than reading about humidifier filters even if  the need for the latter is greater 😉
