Feels Like Summer Already

It feels like summer already and yes. I am sweltering and craving for a big bowl of halo-halo.
To the beach we will go. I hope.

Siniguelas
May 20th 2011greenbucksFamily Matters & Food Friday & Home & Me & Philippines & Urban Living
Got half a kilo of siniguelas when we bought several bags of Vienna Bakery Hopia last Sunday. There’s a bag of those hopia beside the water in the photo.
I wished I bought more siniguelas though. Those in the photo are not everything in the batch of the half-kilo I got. Hubby said that half a kilo we bought seemed few. In other words, madaya ang kilohan.
Naku, alam nyo naman sa Quiapo, kahit nasa harap ng simbahan eh… yun na yun.
Summer Activities
Apr 20th 2011greenbucksFamily Matters
We are almost halfway through summer vacation and I’m sure a lot of children, especially those who did not enroll in nay enrichment programs are bored. There are so many different things to get busy with during summer. Some go to dance classes, while others enhance their artistic inclinations or culinary skills and some delve into sports. I’m sure there are a lot of art supplies, baking supplies, shoes, sports clothes, and even equestrian helmets that got sold.
What have your kids been up to?
There’s no need to enroll them in all the summer fun programs available, just choose the one that one that interests them the most and try to have enriching activities at home like arts and crafts, baking and even sewing! I could benefit from the latter, LOL.

Goldilocks Decorate Your Cake

A small mocha cake, some ready made cake decorations and a little patience and creativity and you’ve got Goldilocks Decorate Your Cake. Woohoo!
This is a wonderful summer activity for the youngsters and the young-at-heart. I totally forgot about this and should have done this with the children during summer vacation.
Warning: not to be done when sitting on outdoor chaise lounges especially when the heat is scorching. You wouldn’t want your Goldilocks Decorate Your Cake to melt under the sun would you?
I Miss Summer
Jun 22nd 2010greenbucksFamily Matters & Me
Now that school has started and I need to, have to, must wake up at 4am (or 4:30am when I have cooked food for packed lunch the night before), I admit to say, I miss summer. Yes, I miss summer with its super scorching days, snotty children from the informal settlers area playing on our front gate and cravings for halo-halo.
We planned to go camping last summer but we weren’t able to do anything like it. We have the necessities to do it, two tents, sleeping bags, eager children with lazy parents. Boo! We were even prepared to go all the way like get a pair of binoculars, portable lamp and camping stove. But nah, nothing came out of the plans.
So now I encourage my children to join the Scouting Movement in school to be able to experience how to be a camper and a Scout at the same time. I think that would be cool.
