The Month that was OCTOBER!

I have been out of circulation lately...guilty I should say coz' I haven't visited my BLOG site...honestly speaking, it has been almost 4 months since we moved back to the Philippines but still my adjustment period hasn't ended...it's like life is more stressful here...maybe its because of the daily driving I do to take the kids to school...

Well, anyways I know it's only myself that I have to explain to...:)
Hope my recap of this month's supposed to be blog subjects can compensate...Hihihi...

Dad's 40th Day ...
We remembered Dad during the 40th day after his death. It has been a sort of tradition with Filipinos to remember the dearly departed on this day because it has been believed that this is the day that they stop roaming around the earth and return to the Creator. Before dad's 40th day, I have been dreaming of him, it was always about him being sick...then the next day it was about his 40th day but the late Lola Agueda and Uncle Jaime were also there. Maybe it was a sign that they have met in the house of our Father.

We heard mass during that day, then proceeded to the cemetery and  prayed the Rosary. Afterwards, we had a simple gathering with people who also remembered dad on his 40th day.

The night of dad's 40th day, I had a dream again but this time around dad was smiling, he was happy...it was the image I want to remember about him...and I am happy because I know he is now at peace in heaven.

Asian Food Trip...

With our long stay in Singapore, we have been introduced with different cuisines and Korean food tops our list. Good thing that there is a sort of Korean invasion here in our place, we didn't have to go far just to satisfy our craving. The place we chose was SAM WON, a Korean Bbq place. It didn't let us down. The food was great, love the assortment of side dishes they have. The Japchae was the best I have tasted so far. Happy that my very choosy son tried and liked the food there. :)

 
The next day, while at the mall, we tried this new place, Black Canyon at SM Southmall. It offers Thai food with a twist. Actually, for me the name of the place doesn't even gave a connection with them serving Thai food. If one would tell me about Black Canyon, I would readily think that it is a steak house. Anyways, we tried their steamed fish and crab stick Thai salad. Food was alright but a bit pricey  and the serving size, well...just look at the photos...

Homelearning time...

Since we moved back to the Philippines, I was finally able to put out my homelearning materials and resources...been planning a lot of fun activities for the kiddos lately...hope I could keep up with the ideas I have in my head...really excited....







Trick or Treat...It's Halloween!


It all starts when kids have to choose the costumes they will be wearing for their school's Halloween Party. Little girl decided on a cute little witch outfit while my big boy chose to become a cross between a grim reaper and a death eater (Harry Potter). And again, this is the only time of the year that I let them consume the candy they want...as long as they brush their teeth afterwards...hahaha...
