Sikatuna vs. Muntinlupa

Daddy Groovy: "Mind over matter lang yan, Bea. Kakakain mo lang, kakain ka nanaman?! Gusto mo ba ma-operahan ka? Ang Mommy mo noon, hindi ganyan!"

Mamang: "Ang Papang mo, hindi mapakali pag nandidito kayo. Natataranta kung anong iluluto para sa inyo."

I just love weekends.

Pregnancy + Cravings = Lihi

This Morning,

my brother-in-law asked the famous question:

"Anong pinagli-lihi-hian mo?"

with a follow up,

"Ano nang hiningi mo kay Arnel na mahirap ibigay?"

Hmmmm...I don't have a strange craving for anything and/or rather I don't crave for anything strange.

I eat whatever I can have. There are times tho my taste buds dreams of swimming in a pasta from Carmine's, the cupcake heads from Panera, KFC Fish Zinger, Tomato Soup from The Soup Spoon and a big chilli crab from No Signboard, I'm so contented with whatever I can have from around here.

But there is a catch: The menu has to be different everytime.

I like Mom's Tinolang Baka, Kare Kare, or anything that has sabaw.

Just please don't fry a garlic when I'm around. Please, I beg you, just hold it til I leave the place.

If there are times when the table serves fried food, we would rush to Katipunan, Tomas Morato, UP Diliman and Eastwood when we're in Sikatuna, or Festival Mall, Tagaytay or anything from Putatan when we're in Muntinlupa.

And the search is on for World Dishes. Japanese, Indian, Greek, Chinese, Persian, and of course Italian. I love cheese + red sauce.

I'm a great fan of Papang's Crispy Tilapia. I am the #1 fan. This dates back to October 2007. It was the first meal I had with the De Silos'. Since then, they would feed me fried Tilapia. I would be so happy to have it for breakfast-lunch-dinner. It's actually something I look forward to when I know we would eat in Muntinlupa.

Things changed when I got buntis. I hated the smell of fried tilapia. I can't even stand the sight of it.

Then I discovered Papang's Bistek. It goes oh so well with cream cheese!!!

I choose not to give Arnel a hardtime coz he never gave me a hardtime, ever.

So what do I crave? I think, I just crave for Arnel. I don't really care if it's Japanese, Indian, Greek, Chinese, Persian or Italian, as long as I'm having it with him, Everything's A-OK.

Flowers In The Window

When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
But there was no-one there to hold before
I swore that I would be alone for ever more
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But I am here to help you with the load

Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow

So now we're here and now is fine
So far away from there and there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go

Wow look at us now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million,
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
Its such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow
Let's watch the flowers grow

Why do I love thee let me count the Why's - 015
