Macaroons (chocolatey and lemoney macaroonies)
Skye read the instructions, and before I could tell her what to do, she was already beating the eggs when I checked.
She started measuring the sugar when I thought of taking pictures.
She added the condensed milk. I told her to mix until the sugar dissolves.
Snowe asked what she could to do help and I asked her to put the paper liner on the macaroon cups.
and after that, I told her to add the desicated coconut to the mixture while Skye mixes everything.
They helped each other grating the lemon for the flavor.
I divided the mixture into two portions. I added grated lemon for the flavor to the first half. Snowe asked if she could be the one to put the mixture in the cups, so I let her. I was surprised to see that she was able to finish filling all those cups.
Skye had her turn, too. She requested the chocolate flavored macaroons, so I added the melted Swiss dark chocolate (about 30gms) to the other portion of the coconut mixture. It was actually a leftover because Skye was not able to finish that Frey Noir 72% chocolate bar Snowe gave her (she said it's bitter for her taste).
My girls had fun baking. Snowe ate them as soon as it cooled down... and they called it the "chocolatey and lemoney macaroonies" :)

Mommy Lolly
Dear Mommy,
Thank you for being strong for all of us.
Thank you for your unfailing love.
Because of you we learned how to be strong,
to care and to love.
I'm sorry for the many times I gave you heartaches.
I'm sorry that I made you cry.
Thank you for being there whenever my heartbreaks, for comforting me, for assuring me
that everything will be alright.
Thank you for making your time available
whenever we need you.
May God bless us with more years with you so we can show you more how much we love you and thank you for all the things you've done for us!
We love you always!
Happy Birthday, Mommy Lolly!

France Bread Pizza a la Skye and Snowe
We used France bread, it's like a bun, cut in half and laid on a baking tray. I put a teaspoon of Del Monte's Sweet Pizza Sauce on each half and Skye spread it on. Snowe then put the small cuts of Mozarella Cheese, the one we use on sandwiches.

Happy Father's Day!
I can still remember the morning you died in my arms,
until your last breath it is your children you always care about...
"Panginoon, Kayo na po ang bahala sa mga anak ko, gabayan Mo po sila."
... were the last words you said.
Oh, how I long to be with you more...
I know I have not thanked you enough...
Thank you for loving our Mommy the way you did.
Thank you for being a responsible Father to us.
Thank you for providing all our needs.
Thank you for doing the best you can to raise us well.
Thank you for making sure we will have food on our table.
Thank you for sending us all to school to have a good education.
Thank you for being there to guide us.
Thank you for being our pillar during trials.
Thank you for the happy memories you shared with us.
I smile every time I remember your jokes on your last day,
a day full of happy memories...
...memories I will never forget.
I can still feel your presence.
I love you, Daddy Tony!
Happy Father's Day!
Your EeknyhP (that's how you call me :-)

bulag sa katotohanan?
gisingin ang ugat patungo sa utak baka natutulog lamang, paganahin kahit saglit lang.
kadalasan, nasasaktan na'y nasisisi pa - ang mga taong nagmamalasakit lamang, mga taong hinihingan ng payo nguni't hindi pinakikinggan. mga taong nalalapitan sa oras ng matinding pangangailangan. hindi lang sa panahong naghahanap ng kaibigang makakasalo sa saya o habang may naibibigay ka...
nasasabihan mo nga siya ng problema pero nasosolusyonan ba? paano kung sa bandang huli siya pala ang iyong problema, paano lalabas sa isang sitwasyon na hawak ka?
ito 'yung taong bulag sa katotohanan, bingi sa payo ng mga taong tunay na nagmamahal. "focused" ika nga, focused sa akala ay panghabang-buhay na kaligayahan. walang "happily ever after" hanggang hindi naitatama ang mga maling gawa.
Who says life is easy?
Noong bata ka gusto mong tumanda agad para magkatrabaho.
Kailan ka ba masisiyahan? Kahit ang Diyos maguguluhan sa nais nating mangyari sa ating buhay kung ganito ang pagiisip natin. simple lang naman talaga dapat ang ating pamumuhay, pinapahirap lang natin sa pamamagitan ng pagkomplika ng sitwasyon.

Barbie's Shoe
2010, April 19, @3pm - Snowe came to me crying, she said she can't find her Barbie's other shoe. I remember she's playing by the bathroom's lavatory because she needs water for her toy, a Barbie Seaworld Trainer set. I went with her and helped her look but we couldn't find it. I asked her if she washed the doll, but she didn't answer and started to cry out loud as if she lost something very important to her. You know how babies cry when a mother leaves or a young kid is lost in a mall? That's how she cried and I feel sad for her, but I couldn't comfort her yet. I'm a bit disappointed because we just bought that set of Barbie last Saturday (it was on 50% sale) and as we were opening the package I keep on telling her to take care of the very small items for it might get lost.
