Is there any dish that you never get tired of ordering at the restaurant?

I love TGI Friday's Chicken Mushroom Chicken. I always order it whenever we eat at Friday's. I guess you can say that I'm not adventurous when it comes to food because I tend to order the same dishes.

Chicken Mushroom Chicken is deep fried chicken topped with mushrooms and Mozzarella cheese. It is served with buttered corn on the cob and mushrooms. Earlier version included french fries or mashed potatoes. Now Chicken Mushroom Chicken is served with rice pilaf.

My thoughtful mom sent me a text message and said that this is on sale. She wants to buy it for me. Perfect timing because I want a new pair of sneakers.

I made the mistake of asking my 6-year old son if this suits me. He told me that it's for teenagers. Ouch! Shot to the heart! Ha! Ha! Oh well, I'm still young at heart.

Do you like sneakers?

When you want a dose of sugar rush, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

I usually think of a piece of chocolate. A slice of cake would be great as well. If all things fail, a glass of coke would do. Ha ha!

Is there something you're sorry about?

I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry to my blog friends who have recently tagged me with meme and awards. I'm sorry if I failed to do recent tags because I've been a little preoccupied. I'm afraid I lost track of some tags already and hope you won't take it against me. I hope I can make it up to you next time.

Have you ever watched Michael Jackson in concert?

It's sad to think that the King of Pop is now gone. Michael Jackson will always be one of my favorite 80's icons.

I watched Michael Jackson in concert back in December 1996 when he went to the Philippines. That was around three months after my college graduation. I watched the concert with my best friend, Chary. The concert was held at The Reclamation Area in Pasay City. During that time, it was a vast vacant, open land area.

I remember the huge crowd, the deafening scream of fans and Michael Jackson's superb performance. There was a point when it became quite difficult to properly see Michael on stage because people were standing up. I still remember the cute couple near us. The guy carried his girlfriend on his shoulders so she could have a better view of the stage.

Another thing that made that night unforgettable was my unfortunate experience after the concert. There was a lot of soil and dust particles in the air that triggered some sort of skin allergy. I developed rashes all over my body and I had fever for around 2 days. Despite getting sick, I still have fond memories of that momentous concert.

What kind of cuisine are you fond of?

I'm fond of Japanese food. My family always make it a point to eat at Japanese restaurants. Last Thursday, hubby and I had lunch at Teriyaki Boy, a casual dining Japanese restaurant. We ordered the following:

California Maki

Ebi Tempura Bento Box (includes miso soup, 3 pcs ebi tempura, rice, bean sprouts, kani salad, coffee jelly and iced tea)

Teriyaki Boy Bento Box (includes miso soup, Teriyaki Boy chicken, rice, bean sprouts, kani salad, coffee jelly and iced tea)

After lunch, we went to New Hatchin Japanese Grocery in Makati to buy some ingredients for hubby's culinary class this coming Sunday. Their theme this Sunday is Japanese cuisine. I personally recommend this Japanese grocery because they carry a wide variety of authentic Japanese products. They also have friendly and very accomodating staff.

Located at 7602 Sacred Heart St. cor Metropolitan Ave ., San Antonio village Makati City

Assorted Japanese goods

Share something fun you did with the family recently.

Hubby and I watched Angels and Demons last Monday. We left Yohan at home because the movie wasn't suitable for kids. We promised to make it up to him by watching Night at the Museum 2 on our next visit to the mall.

Last Wednesday, hubby and I fulfilled that promise to Yohan. We had a fun family date at Alabang Town Center. We had some pizza, mojos and chicken for lunch. Yohan ordered a tall glass of Oreo milkshake.



Yohan got a free volleyball from Shakey's as part of their meal promo.


We watched Night at The Museum 2 after lunch. We all enjoyed the film. It was really funny. It's a perfect movie for kids and grown-ups.

I asked Jules and Yohan what do they like better, Night at the Museum 1 or 2. The boys said they like the sequel more than the first one. For me, the first one is still my favorite.




After the movie, we did a little shopping for Yohan. He has grown taller so we decided to buy him a new pair of jeans, 3 colored pants and a blue windbreaker. Here's a photo of our junior shopper. :)

What kind of jewelry or accessories do you wear frequently?

These are my favorite pieces (a watch, white gold earrings and white gold necklace with a cross pendant). I frequently wear them on casual days . I like interchanging the band straps of my watch. I'm sad that two Swarovski crystals are now missing from the cross. :(

Is there an online game that you enjoy?

I love playing Pet Society on Facebook. It's exciting to see my home expand. I started with one empty room and I now have 4 fully furnished rooms: living room, bathroom, bedroom and a kitchen. I love earning coins to buy clothes, food, furniture and fixtures. Here's Anya about to have a bath. I'm happy that I was finally able to save enough PS coins for a bathtub.


I'm happy about my brand new kitchen. Hubby's cousin, C gave me a kitchen showcase. It would have taken me weeks to complete it but C was generous enough to provide me with all the kitchen comforts I need. :)

What movie are you looking forward to?


My son is a big fan of the movie Night At The Museum. We have a DVD copy of it and I can't remember how many times I've watched the movie with him. Yohan is very excited to watch Night At The Museum 2. He is very curious about the new characters. I'm looking forward to watching it with him.

What local snack do you enjoy eating?


I like eating banana cue, a popular Filipino snack that are commonly sold in the streets). Banana cue is made by deep frying brown sugar coated semi-ripe bananas (Saba variety) in hot oil. The caramelized bananas are skewered on bamboo sticks like barbecue thus the name banana cue. Freshly cooked banana cue is simple delicious.

Aloha Friday #63: Preschool Summer Tokens

(edited: 6:29 P.M.: I decided to make this post as my Aloha Friday entry for this week.)

When was the last time you made a personalized card or gift for someone special?

I helped my son create some simple and easy to make 'summer tokens' or giveaways for his classmates and teachers. He gave away these decorated sticks last Wednesday which happened to be the last day of exams. It was my son's way of saying good bye to his classmates and welcoming the much anticipated summer break. Yohan gave his boy classmates the sun while he gave the butterflies to the girls. He also gave butterflies to his teachers.

Yohan's 'Summer Tokens' for his classmates and teachers.

Materials:

• cut-outs of sun
  
• cut-outs of butterfly
• Popsicle sticks
  
• colored markers/pens
• colored fuzzy wires
• glue

Procedure:

1. Prepare some cute computer cut-outs. My son chose sun and butterflies.


2. Glue the sun on the Popsicle stick. Make as many as you want (depending on the number of recipients).
   


3. Glue the butterfly on the Popsicle stick. For the butterfly antenna, use fuzzy wires. Simply twist the fuzzy wire into an antenna shape and glue it to the butterfly's head. Make as many as desired.
   


4. You can personalize it by writing the recipient's name on the stick.


5. Add a note at the back like "Have a fun summer vacation" and let your child sign his/her name.
