Musing of a mother and a blogger

March 31st, 2008 -- Posted in Personal | No Comments »

This month is a very busy one for me. I thought I could find a lot of time blogging since my daughter is on vacation from her schooling. But I am wrong coz I forgot that my 4-year old son will soon be off for his schooling by June. I don’t have a helper at home so I do all the chores. I need to divide my time for my husband, kids, chores and blogging. Actually everyday is a busy day for me, lol.

I have two kids, an 8-year old girl and my 4-year old boy. Two months is such a short time to prepare my son for his schooling. As compared to girls, boys are not that easy to handle like my son, lol. At times I told him to write a certain letter he will insists to write a different one. When I taught him on the basic different parts of the body he’s not taking it seriously. I’m in doubt if he understood or not but when my husband comes from office I usually told him to recap what I taught to our son so I can be sure if his getting it. Well I guess I need to cross my fingers that he will follow his teachers and be a good boy there.

As to my blogging, I will probably start with the Bicol Region here. Why? I guess I love cooking food with this coconut milk (or “gata ng niyog”). The family enjoys eating seafood with a mixture of coconut milk plus a bit of siling labuyo (red chili). Well of course not for my 4-year old boy (I always have a special one for him) but my daughter enjoys it as long as I will not put too much chili on it. My husband used to travel in Bicol because they have 2 FM radio stations there – Naga and Legazpi. He shared with me the food that he was able to eat there and sometimes we went on our experiment (our own version of the food).

In this blog, together we will explore the Philippines but mostly I will give you details on the beautiful spots and the different recipes of a particular place that I will be featuring.

Thank you so much for dropping by and enjoy your reading. God bless and take care always.
