Rice Christmas Tree

munchkinmommy — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 04:59:50 +0000

This is a very, and I mean VERRRRRY, late entry for The 2008 OTWOMD Christmas Tree Blog Parade .

Taking “prime space” on our refrigerator door is this Christmas tree made of rice. What makes it special isn’t it’s uniqueness but the fact that it was made by my daughter as one of her holiday projects. ;)

Here’s a closer look…

This is way better than a fresh pine tree, if you ask my mommy opinion. ;)

I hope you all had a fun-filled holiday season as did we!

I am a Basil! ;)

munchkinmommy — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:26:06 +0000

Em tagged me with this “What kind of Spice are You?” meme. I have to say, I’m quite pleased with the result. Hee hee!

You Are Basil

You are quite popular and loved by post people.

You have a mild temperament, but your style is definitely distinctive.

You are sweet, attractive, and you often smell good.

What Spice Are You?

Take the quiz if you want to find out what kind of spice you are! ;) Come on, Spice Girl…or Boy! Hee hee!

Eats for Twenty

munchkinmommy — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 04:01:43 +0000

That’s twenty pesos (roughly forty-five US cents). This is my answer to the Thrilling Twenty tag I got from Maver.

A couple of months ago, I could have easily said a pound of bananas. That was when it was only $0.44/lb. But the last time we went shopping, I was horrified (yes, horrified!) to find out that the priced has increased to $0.49. Not much but if you eat bananas as much as we do…

Anyway, the 5 bananas in the photo weigh 2.2 lbs. So my $0.45 cents will buy me around two bananas. And I’d still get a penny back. Hee hee. That’s quite a heavy and healthy snack! :D

For a more sinful tummy filler, I can get a twinky. A box of 10 twinkies is worth $2.99. A piece then costs $0.30. I still get $0.15 back! Hee hee. The thing is, I don’t know if anybody ever sells twinkies by the piece. :D

Want to snag this tag? Here are the rules:

1. Answer this question–WHAT CHEAP SNACK WOULD YOU BUY FOR TWENTY BUCKS?
2. Take a pic of it and post it on your blog.
2. Link back to Maver’s site.
3. Give Maver a shoutout so that she can include your thrilling-twenty in the round-up.

There you go. Have fun doing this tag! :D

I am a Merlot

munchkinmommy — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:46:36 +0000

Quite frankly, I don’t even know what a Merlot is. Hee hee. I’m not much of a wine drinker. I prefer sparkingly sweet champagne. But Em tagged me to do this “What kind of wine are you?” meme. So I thought why not find out? Here’s the result.

You Are Merlot

Smooth, confident, and popular – you’re the type most likely to order wine for the whole group.You seem to breeze through life on your intuition and wit. And no one seems to mind!You’re comfortable in any social situation you find yourself in, and you never feel outclassed.

And while you live a charmed life, you never let it go to your head. You are truly down to earth and a great friend.Deep down you are: Balanced and mature

Your partying style: Surprisingly wild… when you let loose, you really let loose

Your company is enjoyed best with: Some greasy pizza

What Kind of Wine Are You?

Surprisingly wild when I let loose? What the fudge?! Hee hee. Remind me not to get drunk at a party. Hee hee.

Snag this tag if you love wine and if you toast to world peace. :D Take the quiz here.

WINE DRINKERS: 1.) Living the Healthy Life is a chardonnay; 2.) Cafe Munchkin is a Merlot; 3.) YOU
Cheers to world peace! :D

Kids’ Food Fear Factor

munchkinmommy — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 04:00:02 +0000

I got this tag from my fellow Wifespeaks wifeys, Em and Maver.

Hubby and I love to eat. And it doesn’t come as a surprise that our sheer love for food has rubbed off on our daughter, Abby. Abby will eat anything I put on the table…vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, etc. Like me, Abby has a sweet tooth, too. I can’t say that there’s a food that Abby “fears”. For me, the strangest food (if you can even consider it food) she just has a blast devouring, it’s the batter for baked goodies that’s left on the mixing bowl. Here she is in all her mixing-bowl clean-up glory (I’ve posted these pics before but they’re worth reposting, if I may say so myself!)…

~~~Start Copy~~~

1.) Name something strange that your kids love to eat. Doesn’t matter how many.
2.) Post an image of him or her enjoying ‘the’ strange food liking. If none, just a photo of him having a feast.
3.) Add your kids name in the linky love with the blog where you posted this meme.
4.) Get back to Living the Healthy Life Blog by leaving a comment so your kids’ name be added to the master list.
5.) Tag as many of your friends with kids.

Kids who joined the fear food factor: ETHAN / MARTHA / JJ / Ozzy / GABBY and NICCO / ESTONG / Kuya and Kowi/ Big Brother AL-kiddo of Mommy Yen / LIZZIE / HALIGILET / DIMPLE / Ethan – kiddo of Mommy Butchay / EU-LEH “Kulit” – Little One of C.A. “tque” / Munchkin Mommy’s ABBY / YOUR KID’s NAME with your Blog’s URL

~~~End Copy ~~~

Consider yourself tagged if you’re a Mom and you have a blog. ;) Oh what the heck, this tag is up for grabs! Hee hee! :D

What’s For Breakfast?

munchkinmommy — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 07:04:00 +0000

Em tagged me for this “Longest Breakfast List” meme. Thanks, Em!

Since we got back from our California vacation, I have been missing breakfast. Not intentionally though! I’ve been waking up late because I’ve been sleeping late. Hee hee. I don’t want to eat breakfast when it’s so close to lunch time already. Anyway, my usual breakfast is very simple, Turkey Sandwich with Whole Wheat Bread and Light Mayo and a huge cup of coffee. On other days, I have cereal. My favorite is the Strawberry Flakes variety and I’m not very particular with the brand. Almost every supermarket has it’s own Strawberry Flakes brand. I use unsweetened organic soymilk with my cereal or skim milk.

Strawberry Flakes Cereal with Organic Soymilk

Hubby, if he had his way, will have TapSiLog (beef, fried rice and egg) for breakfast or either one of these…

Garlic Frice Rice and Hot Dogs

Adobo Rice with Fried Egg

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What’s your usual breakfast?

*Start copy here*

The Longest Breakfast Menu List
Everyone likes to start their day with a comfort food for breakfast. What kind of food do you take? This would be a good way to find out your blogger friend’s favourite food for breakfast.

All you need to do is to put your name down, the country you are in and your favorite breakfast meal. Let’s see how we can have this breakfast ‘menu’ travelled all around cyberspace and learn what each blogger living in different country and what they eat for breakfast. This meme was created by a little lady with a penchant to spy around little baskets while marketing. Her favorite breakfast of the day is none other than Roti Prata, an indian flat bread. What about you? What is your favorite breakfast meal of the day?

1. Spymama, Singapore – Roti Prata 2. Janeth Vicy’s Life Journey, Philippines – Ham and Hotdog with Rice 3.As The World Turns, Philippines, Milk and Biscuits. 4.Just Me.. Eds, Philippines- Sausage and Egg with Garlic Rice/Fried Mash potato 5. Alpha, Philippines ~ McDonald’s Big Breakfast 6. Aggie, Philippines ~ Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich 7.

Friday’s Feast One Hundred and Ninety-Six

munchkinmommy — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 04:50:23 +0000

Appetizer

When was the last time you had your hair cut/trimmed?

I had my hair trimmed very recently, Wednesday, 08 July 2008 at a Cost Cutters franchise.

Soup

Name one thing you miss about being a child.

I miss the fact that I only had to worry about what to eat and play with next. Then again, I worried about my grades because I was such a nerd. That part I don’t miss. Hahaha!

Salad

Pick one: butter, margarine, olive oil.

Unsalted butter! :D

Main Course

If you could learn another language, which one would you pick, and why?

I’d like to learn French. I learned how to speak German and in one of our travels with my Mom, we made a sidetrip to France from Germany. I suddenly felt “lost” because I couldn’t understand a thing and was too afraid to say a single word for fear of mispronouncing words.

Dessert

Finish this sentence: In 5 years I expect to be…

…an even better version of me.

Friday’s Feast One Hundred Ninety-Five

What is the weather like today where you live?

It’s skin pricking hot here in Texas right now.

Soup

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you?

5? I put my career on hold when we moved to Texas a little over a year ago.

Salad

What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.?

We have white wood blinds on almost all windows. Not our choice. We’re only leasing. :) They’re all right though. :D

Main Course

Name something that instantly cheers you up.

My daughter instantly cheers me up.

Dessert

How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning?

You might find this weird. I have three alarm settings 15 minutes apart. Hee hee. I only hit the snooze button once after the last alarm.

If you could live on another continent for 1 year, which one would you choose?

I’ve lived for 32 years in Asia. I’ve been in North America for the past year. I would definitely love to live in Europe for a year. I can start with Germany because I speak a little German. :)

Soup

Which browser do you use to surf the Internet?

I’m using IE (please don’t hate me!) but I’ve already downloaded Firefox. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it and I want to give it a try.

Salad

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you know about the history of your country?

I got pretty decent grades in Philippine history. I think I can give myself an 8. :) Let’s just not focus too much on dates and names. Hahaha. I’ve been through C-section already. :P

Main Course

Finish this sentence: Love is…

…hubby, my daughter Abby, and my family in the Philippines. :)

Dessert

Have you ever been in or near a tornado?

No, and please God, I don’t want to be near one.
