Ako ay isang taong hindi mahirap regaluhan.
Mababaw lang naman ang aking kaligayahan.
Maligaya ako basta’t masaya ang aking unico hijo; siya na rin yatang pinakamahalagang regalong natanggap ko sa buhay ko.
Maligaya din ako na sa araw-araw ay may biyaya sa aming hapag-kainan.
(Little A and food on the dining table.)
Sa panahon ngayon ng recession at sandamakmak na redundancy,
… mahalagang regalo para sa amin ang balitang kami ay residente na dito sa bansa ni Gollum.
Maligaya kami’t magkakasama dito para sa aming unang pasko.
(Munching on M&Ms watching this City of Sails, autumn early this year)
Hindi po si Gollum ang nakasilip at gustong humingi ng M&Ms.
Yan po ang aking unico hijo na makulit.
(Little A and lotsa lollies.)
Kahit madaming pagsubok ang taong 2008, mas nakalalamang ang mga biyayang natatanggap.
Mga biyayang maituturin kong mga mahahalagang regalo.
Para sa ika-37 edisyon ng Litratong Pinoy na may temang Mahalagang Regalo.
(Hindi ko pa po naayos ng husto ang bagong anyo ng aking blog kung kaya’t wala pang LP Logo sa aking sidebar, pagpaumanhin po.)
My father, a farmer in his hometown before working his way to becoming an accountant, definitely influenced my cooking in a lot of ways than I thought. My siblings and I were raised in a backyard full of fruit trees and vegetable garden. We spent weekends and the summer breaks running around with ducks, chickens, goats and pigs. I had wonderful memories of gathering eggs, butchering chickens, selling vegetables and the sweet aroma of preserved fruits. But my love for art led me to a degree in Architecture. Just few months after getting my license, I went abroad and lived independently at age 23. Definitely no maid, no cook, and a totally different food culture. Along the way I met lots of friends and spent what seemed a lifetime learning new tricks and recipes.
Now living in Auckland, I am a work-from-home mum who juggles time between work, fun and family - in pursuit of work-life balance. No matter how busy I am, I love the idea of cooking for my family. My blog chronicles home cooking greatly influenced by life outside my home country from Southeast Asia to Beijing and Auckland. And most of the time, being busy also means easy (sometimes quick), affordable meals.
hello:)

hi peeps, maraming salamat sa dalaw. at oo, masarap ang simpleng buhay. mas abot-kamay ang mga gusto sa buhay.
@Thess, oo nga. Malamang mas may oras sa Xmas holiday. pwedeng mahabang chikahan!
kakaibang blog… okey ang comment section…
tunay nga na dapat lagi tayong present sa mga presents sa atin ng buhay – mga biyaya, pagpapala, at iba pang blessings. Maganda yung reminder ng isang speaker sa isang talk – na hindi daw natin natatanggap yung ibang mga gusto natin dahil yung dumarating sa atin is what we need and not what we desired – for us to learn, and for us to experience a more meaningful life…
