Wanna Order This Yummy Pie?

My mom bought this Pineapple pie from the bakeshop where she usually gets the Buko pie we all love at home. I so love the simple yet effective presentation of the pie inside its box made from recycled material.

What I love about the pineapple pie is the flaky crust and the chewey, gooey filling..

If you wanna know where to get this pie, leave me a comment...

The Girl and Her Love For Her Car

Most girls grew up with dolls and girly things. But some, like my good ole buddy, cousin, friend and playmate,  "she who does not want to be named", who now lives in the US, grew up with tractors, cars and all kinds of vehicles in her tender age. Not only that, she practically played with pliers, hammers, screw drivers and some mechanics tools. While she is not a tomboy, she just loves spending time with the boys in the family. And while most girls got busy with boys in their teens, she was already busy helping her dad fix her beetle, which was at that time, the car that she was dying to have. Classic taste, but soon after, she has developed a taste for the modern. My cousin told me that she is selling her beetle. Well, it has not been used ever since she left, but was kept in good condition somehow. But how she told me about selling it seems unbelievable now. It was said in a rather not so important manner, as if it was not her all time favorite. Little did I know that she has also been checking St George Car Dealerships for a new car there. My uncle said it she has taken this new liking for a car they saw at Hyundai Dealerships Utah, when he visited her, but is still currently looking for a chance to change her mind. Hahaha, as if she can easily change her mind, once she has set her heart on something. But the thought of her selling the beetle still leaves me thinking. How on earth can a woman sell the car she has married for life? I mean, she has taken a vow to keep it forever. And if someone touched it, she would wage war as if it were some kind of a tyranny upon her and the car, lol. That's just how much she loved that beetle. Does it mean she is not coming home anymore?

Hmmm.... Anyway, I think it's a good idea that she get herself a new car. Change is good. But I think she will get one that she will perhaps marry into again, lol. Seriously, she is like a soldier and his gun, and that's her and her car, if we put it. She can't seem to leave the car behind that if I am to think in a crazy manner, I would say the car had life.  Now, I can not imagine why she has become a nurse when she should have become a car racer or a mechanic with such passion for cars. Oh and the beetle actually has a name. Hahahaha.. So if and when it gets sold, I am imagining a funeral for her beloved Patrick..

Business As It Is..

We went to a local seller of ceiling fans, and realized that this summer, their prices have actually increased. Wow.. It's become a great business for some people-- this heat! But of course, whatever is the need for the time is indeed a good business venture. After TS Sendong, when people started cleaning their homes from all the mud from the flash flood, boots, gloves and masks were sold out everywhere. Doxicycline was nowhere to be found for a week or so, and water was scarce. With fans, manual fans, electric fans, ceiling fans, and all others are not scarce, but they come in surging prices. My daughter has a funny way of resolving this problem of heat without using a fan. She simply dipped herself in a huge vat in the bathroom. Hahahaha.. If business people would know about that, they may go high on their prices too.

Back From A Short Vacation, Now Working Again...

Last week, we stayed at our parent's place in Opol. It was like a mini vacation in a place that's near, but that which also seems far. We had to buy ingredients like top sirloin and all others for my brother's birthday, which we actually celebrated not just one day, but for all the time we stayed there. It was a breather for all of us. A short vacation of some sort. Well, it wouldn't be a FULL vacation for me if SMART and SUN internet connections were cooperative enough in that location. I was never able to finish online tasks for so many days, and now I am facing deadline, lol.. Hahaha.. Anyhow, I loved the fact that we were able to rest from online work for a couple of days... 

We arrived in the evening, and in the morning of the next day, the day before my brother's big day, we witnessed a FUN RUN as runners passed by my parent's house, then we headed towards the beach. We actually had breakfast there, and went back home at eight.

We usually buy fresh seafoods from beach vendors like the lady in blue in the photo below... See that portable scale to weigh the food?

Well, that's what vendors do before telling you the price, and then advising the client to have them broiled for an extra fee of P 50 per kilo... You do not pay until the cooked food is delivered... 

So after buying the food, we go back to the water, until the food arrives and we eat breakfast...

Well, that's what we had.. Some salty sweet fresh fish broiled to perfection, as well as the huge squids...

It's totally different eating broiled food at the beach than indoors.. I so love that, and looking forward to another short vacation sometime soon.. but for now, I am working on a Sunday to make up for the lost time to finish all my tasks...
