Fickle-minded II

A week later.

"Mommy, I changed my mind again. I really, really, really want a baby brother... can we go to the baby store so you can buy me a brother?”

I wish it’s that simple. Blah! :p

But it's a cute thought. :D

Fickle-minded

Amber: Mommy,... I want a baby brother.

Me: You do?

I looked suspiciously at the Hubby, thinking he has something to do with the sudden announcement. He shrugged and made that I-swear-I-have-no-idea look.

Me: Why a baby brother?

Amber: Para I’ll be the big sister. I will play with him. It will be fun!

The day after, we saw her staring at a baby on the table next to us in a restaurant.

Me: What are you looking at?

Amber: The baby!

Me: Do you really want to have a baby brother?

Amber: Naw. I changed my mind. I don’t want a baby brother anymore.

Me: How about a baby sister.

Amber: No.

Me: Who are you going to play with if you don’t have a brother or a sister?

Amber: No one. I can play with myself... alone!

I’m so confused! Girls and their fickle minds! :/

Amber’s Weird Taste in Medicine

Why is it that she doesn’t like to drink fruity tasting medicines and vitamins but doesn’t give a fit when given dark green colored Lagundi syrup?!? She even says that it's her favorite medicine!


Gulping every last drop of it.

Weird taste buds!



A Note On Our Bedroom Door






Recipe: Pan-cooked Pork Barbecue

I know how hard it is to plan daily meals, especially if you have a husband like mine – super picky!

I am always thankful of the recipes that I find in the net. They keep me sane. So, in the spirit of giving back, I’d like to share with you a hit but very simple pork barbecue recipe from my MIL.

We normally do not measure the ingredients, we do it the tantya-tantya way. :) I’ll try to make the nearest estimate of the ingredients, feel free to make your own adjustments if it turns out too sweet or too salty for your taste. :)

Ingredients:
-1/2 to ¾ kg Pork (can use porkchop, pork steak, pork ribs)
-4 tbsp soy sauce 
-2 tbsp oyster sauce
-6 cloves of garlic, minced
-2 tbsp sugar 
-juice of 4 calamansi
-cooking oil

Here’s how to cook it:
1.    Mix all ingredients in a bowl and marinade pork for at least 30mins.
2.    You can grill the pork, (keep it marinated for a longer time) basting it with the marinade as it cooks or the easier way, which we often do – put the pork together with the marinade in a heavy pan and let it simmer over medium heat until the sauce is reduced.
3.    Once the sauce is reduced, pour a little cooking oil and cook until the meat is tender. You may turn the meat over to cook it evenly.

That’s it! Perfect with a steaming white rice and sautéed veggies on the side. 
We used pork ribs here.
