Family Farm

2012-01-09T16:27:00.000-09:00

Short visit to the family farm a Durian fruit farm

Joel's checking out the durian. He doesn't like eating durian not because of the stinky smell but because of the taste. Weird because most people here likes the taste but not the smell. Check out how stinky the durian is DURIAN.

look how low the fruits are

The kids of hired help in the farm

Farm house/house of another hired help. Sometimes my mom spend a few days there because she's tired of going up and down the mountain just to go home and be back the next day.

Simple and peaceful living. Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. My mom likes it there.

Road to the farm. My Aunt Warlyn was trying to find a way to get to the other side of the stream and not to get wet.

Bacngeb Alliance Church

2012-01-06T09:54:00.002-09:00

Truly, there's a reason to celebrate!
I'm glad to had the opportunity to attend the Thanksgiving Celebration, Child dedication and Christmas party of this church. I was amazed on how the congregation come together and gave the best they can or they have even if it means there's nothing left for tomorrow. Faith, Love and Joy!
When my dad passed away, my mom decided to give a little portion of the property for church building. She knew that my dad was planning about it before he left. The church isn't finish yet but they already have almost 100 members and most of them are children. Almost all the members are T'boli (one of the indigenous group of people in the Philippines) I couldn't understand them when they start talking.

Happy and Content

My Aunt and Uncle

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Guam Trip Info

2012-01-04T16:33:00.001-09:00

Does anyone here can tell me where to go and what to do in Guam for 3 days. My mom and I are planning to make a short trip there. We have a limited budget, so any information about Guam would be great.

Happy New Year

Greetings from the eastern hemisphere. I wish everyone to have a peaceful and prosperous new year. God bless!

Leaving Abby

2011-09-20T12:10:00.001-08:00

I wish I have $3K laying around so I can take my Abby with me to Philippines. She has all the vaccines, certificates, and import permit that are needed but the problem is the airlines has weight limit policy of 70lbs or less with the kennel. Unfortunately, Abby is 79lbs without the kennel and to have her fly with the pet transport services it will cost from $3K- $5K and that's only from Seattle. To fly her from Alaska to Seattle, it will cost us another $600+ I don't wish to be rich, but right now, I wish I am.
Abby is 11 years old. We have her since she was one year old. We found her from the free add in the newspaper and fall in love with her since the first time we saw her. She's been with us since then and been all over Alaska, Washington State, Oregon, and Canada. She loves swimming and running but she's an indoor dog.
As for my other dog, Farcom, we had to change all our flights and paid the whopping few hundred dollars of fees just so we can take him with us (he's under the weight limit). Asiana airlines won't take pets from Korea to Philippines, but they will if we are coming from LA and not Seattle. It will cost more if we go to LA and it will add another day to our flights, therefore, we've change to Korean Air.
Leaving her is the most difficult decision to make. She has been a big part of my life. Joel and I are flying out on Sunday night, and we still haven't found a home for Abby yet. I guess I'm just not looking hard enough because I still can't accept the fact that we can't take her with us. I'm worried that she'll get abuse or abandon if they won't like her.
I'm still praying that God will make a way to whatever is best for Abby and for us.

Midnight Sun Run 2011

2011-06-19T17:23:00.000-08:00

I had such a great time last night running the 10K Midnight Sun Run. I did the race for 59 minutes and some seconds. There were at least 3500 registered runners and walkers and I've seen a lot of people that I have not seen for a long time but most of them are just cheering on the side of the road and having a good time. It was a great and fun night and the weather was awesome too.

Happy Fathers Day!

2011-06-18T14:39:00.000-08:00

I'm so proud of you Father

for you have a heart like no other

always gave a lending hand

even for the people who did you harm

You were so loving and forgiving

so quite and didn't say a thing 

but you were counting my wrong doing

one two three if I keep making them I get the whipping

I tried to get my way 

for I know you love me and I'm the youngest baby

but you were tough on me

for you only wanted me to better someday

You were a preacher, adviser, singer, and a cook

I may not have inherit any of those

 but I'm glad you were an adventurer

for you have open my eyes and not afraid to explore what's out there

You were a father not only for your children

but for every one who needs a home and a loving care

for I have remember

even an older had respected you like their own father

 I am sad for I won't see you any longer

but I know you are with God the Father

"Well done my son, job well done"

 for I'm sure that's what he greeted you when you arrived there

I admire your love and passion for Christ

for so many lives you've care and touched 

Your legacy will live on forever

I'm so proud for you are my Father

Wondering in Bellingham with Prof. Stephen Cysewski

2011-06-14T21:01:00.000-08:00

It was an awesome experience and a pleasure to wonder around Bellingham, Washington with my Photography Professor, from Fairbanks Alaska, Stephen Cysewski. If any of you are interested to know and learn about Steve and his wonderful work in photography here's the link Stephen Cysewski.

Here are some of the pictures I've taken using my Sony dslr A100.

Gone Missing

2011-06-09T16:51:00.000-08:00

I am so upset and sad that we lost Mr. Kong in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. We spent the night at the Mile 0 RV campground. The thing is, anywhere we go, Mr Kong wonders around but he always comes back. He would whine at the door and won't stop until we let him in. Well, this time he didn't come back or maybe couldn't come back. We look and look for him and waited for few hours but he is no where to be found. He might have gotten into someones RV and got locked in or something.
Mr. Kong has microchip so if someone ever turn him in to the found or shelter, they will know who he belongs to. I just hope that he is being feed. I miss him so.

We walked the dogs in the park and Mr. Kong was walking with us too

Tired walking and wondering around

Up for the Next Chapter

We finally sold our house in Washington and now we are back in Alaska but for only a month or two then we head to Philippines.

Enoki Mushrooms

2011-05-03T09:38:00.002-08:00

I always started my day with prayer and thanksgiving to God, then a drink of water, and coffee with milk brought to bed by my hubby. He always brought me coffee to bed before I even open my eyes.
For my breakfast this morning here's what I had.

Delicious, Nutritious, and it was pretty easy to make. This was my first time dealing with Enoki Mushrooms and absolutely not the last time because I so love it!

I cooked the salmon in the cast iron pan for few minutes and top it with the mixture of green onions, grated ginger, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
Enoki mushrooms - I broiled it for few minutes then tossed it with 1 teaspoon Mirin, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
Baby Bok Choy - I stir-fry it with sliced ginger, soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, 1/4 cup water. Simmer for couple minutes then add few drops of sesame oil.

Devils Food Cake with Chocolate Chips and whipped cream frosting

I finish my breakfast with a cup of green tea. Now my day has officially started. Have a blessed day everyone and Enjoy life!

I'm also glad to met new friends and followers. Special thanks to Arlee Bird and to everyone who put the challenge together. Great job guys! I'm looking forward to the challenge next year.

Cherry Blossoms

I took these picture this afternoon. I just love them!

Japan gave 3,020 cherry blossom trees as a gift to the United States in 1912 to celebrate the nations' then-growing friendship, replacing an earlier gift of 2000 trees which had to be destroyed due to disease in 1910. The gift was renewed with another 3,800 trees in 1965. (Source) To learn more about it, please click Cherry Blossom.

French Apple Tart

Recipe

It was delicious and easy to make. The only thing I didn't like about it was the use of too much butter.

Freezer Burnt Salmon

I sliced them to cubes then cooked and freeze them for my dogs treats.

The trail where I love to take my dogs for walks. Abby can run around free without leash, she minds me well. Farcom however is unpredictable, smart, and hardheaded so he has to be on leash at all times even if he has to drag his leash with him.

Hanging Bridge - No More!

I had so many memories crossing this bridge. This was the only bridge that would take us from town to our farm. I remember when I was little, my dad would carry me and my brother, both at the same time and crossed this bridge. It's sad to see that this bridge is gone, no more. The government improvised and built a bigger bridge that even a big vehicle can cross. I guess that's what life is. Nothing can and should remain the same forever, only God's love! I am just thankful and happy for the memories.

God Bless You! Happy Wednesday afternoon.

My husband and I ate at the buffet restaurant last week, it was the first time in a long time. We didn't pig out but we surely ate a lot of tasty and yummy but not so good food. On top of eating at the buffet restaurant, I baked chocolate banana cake and few days later I made this yummy strawberry cream cheese pie, and we had some ice cream few times last week.

Every Sunday morning is when we weight in to see where we're at. Well, my husband gained One pound and I've only lost .02lb What a bummer! Anyway, back to eating healthy again.

Strawberry Jello Cream Cheese Pie

2 pie crust = I would have like to use nuts for my crust but I don't have the chopper anymore. Pretzel or graham crackers are both higher on glycemic index. Therefore, I've decided to use the ready to bake pie crust. I bake the empty crust according to the instructions.

         1/4 cup          sugar        

         1-1/2 pkg.          (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened        

          2 Tbsp.         milk        

         1 cup          thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping        

          2 cups         boiling water        

         1 pkg.          (6 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin        

          1-1/2 cups         cold water        

         4 cups          fresh strawberries, sliced

Bake the empty pie crust for few minutes and let it cool - follow the crust instructions
Mix and blend together the cream cheese, sugar and milk.
