Summer: Zagu time

The second Iced drink that I am enjoying these hot summer days is from Zagu

+Zagu's Strawberry Milk Tea - I loooveee milk teas and feel the same way about strawberry with only the draw back that this version of Zagu is a bit too sweet for my tonsils. Unlike with Chatime that you have to buy floaters for your drink, Zagu includes the black pearl at no extra cost, I always ask nicely if they could put nata instead with my order and they would oblige at no extra cost. Other add-ons that they can put into your Zagu drink is rice crispies, corn kernels and chocolate chips (I'm not sure if there is more).

Zagu's Strawberry Milk Tea is one of the newest addition to their wide range of flavors and I hope that it will be available not for a  limited time only.

Summer: Iced Drink by Chatime Philippines

I love drinking buko shakes and bubble tea drinks. I'll share today two that I have tried recently but please spare me I did not gather enough information about their menus and product price I was just interested on my ordered drink LOL.

+Chatime (flavor Green Tea Matcha) - I love that it is not sweet and that it has green tea in it. You can add a variety of floater or toppings like my favorite red munggo beans, they also have the usual pearl and nata crystal.What makes it unique is not just their product but the disk that they utilize to alert a customer that their order is ready for pick up at the counter, the disk lights up and vibrates making the alert hard to miss. By the way they have snacks available too in their menu to accompany your tea.

Kerv and the burnt dumplings :(

Our family loves food and Gyoza is one of them. Gyoza is a Japanese dumpling filled with ground meat, minced cabbage, onion, garlic and ginger. The dipping sauce you can buy at a Japanese specialty store or you can make it by mixing soy sauce (Kikoman is preferred) and some vinegar.

Last night we made some Gyoza; I made the dumplings, trying my best to imitate the look of store bought one while Kerv cooked them...Arrrgh he burned the first batch! Burned dumplings is bitter Kerv :-P. Well it still tasted good he said, that's his hand picking a piece to pop into his mouth!

He said he likes it crunchy!

Happy 35th Birthday to me :)

In a few hours I'll be another year older, not quite wiser or stronger but still I'm excited for another year because God has given me another chance to live. Thank you God for this unconditional love, thank you Tatay and Nanay for giving me life and for taking care of me and my family. Thank you ate +Arlene Magno  for keeping me company while my husband is away working abroad. Thanks to my husband who is enduring our time apart, it is hard for us both. Lastly, thanks to my loving kids who has kept this family intact and strong.

I love my life, I love my family, I love God.

A birthday is definitely something to be thankful of.

This school year is almost over, Thank God!

School has been stressful for my kids, they are required to study more things before school ends. Almost everyday a new reviewer is given to be photocopied for them to be able to study at home! Haist! Booklets, past test papers and whatever! Truly my kids can no longer wait for school to finally end.


They can't help reminisce the summer of 2011 when we put up a kiddie pool on our roof deck. We had a small pool party for the small kids, big kids and the kids-at-heart. No, I did not...I have my dignity lol.

Just chillin in our kiddie pool weee!

Cool and convenient way to beat the summer heat :)

Too bad our kiddie pool broke and we could not buy a new one for summer 2012...my kids' only wish for summer 2013 is to have a simple pool party up on our roof deck!



What about you, what's your summer like? Thank you for dropping by..
