our home sweet home { originally written on 8/17/08 }

What does your home say about you?

Best place for you is ?

Living room: You are sociable and enjoy talking to people. Whenever you have the opportunity, you'll help people. You don't shirk responsibility, and in fact enjoy taking on leadership roles.

Kitchen: Easygoing and altruistic, you are most happy when taking care of others. While at times you can be boisterous, you make people feel comfortable around you and they always seek your advice when they have problems

Dinning room: You are conservative, cautious and don't panic in emergencies. You are an extrovert, and like sharing ideas with people. However, you also need to spend time alone to organize your thoughts.

Bedroom: You are imaginative and colorful. You attract people just by the way you talk. This can make some people feel jealous.

Bathroom: You take good care of yourself and are concerned about your health. When you hear about any new illnesses, you start watching out for the first symptoms to appear. This can sometimes annoy your friends. However, you look at the world on the bright side, and this makes you quite popular.

Balcony: You love freedom and hate to be controlled. You want to walk away from all the rules and rely on your imagination to direct your life instead. When you need to re energize yourself, you head to the beach or to the forest.

circle No square Yes!

Watermelon is famous for circles or oblong shapes but have you ever heard that here in Japan farmers are harvesting the square and pyramid watermelons. How they do that?
The clever farmers grew the watermelons in glass boxes then naturally assumed the shame shape.
The reason they're doing this is because of problem in trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around, lack of space and for the consumer to easily be pack and stored.

Pyramid shape.

Square shape watermelons,cool!

Fun Thursday

We had a blissful day today especially my seven year old daughter Kei,  when I bought her this pretty pink Heelys Roller Shoes. She really wanted to have this shoes and I guess she's in a right age to use it. I also bought some Rilakkuma stuff for Rio to add it in her collections. After that we went to a fast food restaurant for snack and we feasted Zaru soba udon { Japanese noodles}, tempura and Japanese fried rice.


Have a wonderful day.... XOXO =)

You're the 1,Goldilocks

Are you craving for delicious Filipino foods like desserts? Actually I am one of the people who loves having something sweet to eat. Now I'm living oceans apart but all the memories I had in the Philippines is worth to cherish because Goldilocks has a big part of my childhood days. During my birthdays or other occasions, Goldilocks cakes and pastries makes the moments special.That's why Goldilocks is No.1 in my heart.

Sharing my Goldilocks moments:
Bringing back the memories, Goldilocks ensaimada used to be my favorite pastry to bring in school, I really love the taste of butter and cheese on the top of it, very delicious. yummy !!I can tell you guys that the Goldilocks ensaimada is guarantee the best ensaimada in the Philippines.
Oh well I wish there's a Goldilocks here in Yamanashi ken, so that I can eat all my favorite Filipino dishes like cakes, pastries and of course my all time favorites like palabok, kare-kare, pork BBQ, lechon paksiw and a lot more.
Well I am so envy with my friends in the Philippines because you have all your time to go and visit Goldilocks.

I can't sleep

As of this week I only spend four to five hours in bed each night, I become exhausted. I was irritable during the day it was difficult to concentrate. I am afraid I wasted everything and I hadn't accomplish my obligation these past few days. Oh life! I feel so slow and weak....
I love to try some sleeping pills so that I could sleep better and calm my anxiety but hubby won't allow me to take those over the counter antidepressant medicine, hubby told me that taking those pills can only create problems and I might experience unpleasant dreams or morning fogginess. Gee! I am afraid I'd kill my household duties by forgetting the important things and not doing enough -best for my family. It hurts!!!
