9 Mornings

9 Mornings or "Simbang Gabi" brings significance to our lives. It is a Filipino Christmas tradition. It is a series of nine(9) dawn masses. In our province, the ringing of the church bells and the sounds of Christmas songs fills all over the town that starts at 3 in the morning so as to awake people and be ready for the 4 a.m. mass. It begins on December 16 and ends on midnight of December 24, which culminates in a midnight mass. It was introduced by Spanish friars, simbang gabi or misa de gallo was started to allow the farmers to hear mass before going to the fields. After the mass , traditional delicacies await church goer. The delicious bibingka, suman, biko puto bumbong are sold outside the church. Some people who attended straight simbang gabi says that all their prayers and wishes were granted. They believes that completing the dawn masses will make a wish come true. To the believers and religious person, old and young finds time to attend dawn masses. Many make their sacrifice to rise early not only to have their wishes come true but to follow a tradition. This Christmas is not complete with out attending simbang gabi. It also brings us a double celebration in our lives as a couple because the start of simbang is also the 35th birthday of Noel and the 8th year Anniversary of our marriage. We are truly grateful that we experience a wonderful lives together with Keisha inspite of all the problems that comes our way. Hoping that we will last longer and live a meaningful life ahead of us. And hoping too, that for the first time we could attend the first simbang gabi. Merry Christmas!!!!

Steamed Rice Cake with brown sugar

My mom loves to cook "biko" or steamed rice cake. Everytime we were home, she eagerly prepare the ingredients and find way to cook it in the right way. Every occassion or even weekdays Biko is always present in our table. Cooking rice cake is not easy. There are lots of ways of cooking and style of the Biko. It has to be a lot of effort and patience to mix sugar and rice to have a better appearance and taste. Here is the list of ingredients needed for cooking:

glutinous rice

4 cups water

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

1 cup brown sugar

banana leaves ( optional )

grated coconut meat from 4 coconuts (reserve coco milk)

Cook glutinous rice in water just like you do with plain steamed rice.
In saucepan, pour brown sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract.
Mix, stir and let boil. Add cooked glutinous rice to coconut milk mixture and cook until thick.
Spread evenly on platter (or bilao) lined with banana leaves.
Slice and serve.

Note: It is best serve with hot native coffee or a cold softdrinks.

Celebrating Christmas with Miley Cyrus

Celebrating Christmas was different in Cyrus Clan. It's good that they are always around to share everything during X'mas season. When you're a pop star one thing's for certain: You never know where your family is going to land for the holidays, according to Miley Cyrus. "It is so chaotic all the time," says Cyrus, who spreads Christmas cheer in a reindeer outfit on the Dec. 14 episode of her hit show Hannah Montana. "We just always make sure we're together no matter what." For the Cyrus clan, "we're never really all home on a holiday, so it's kind of hard to keep traditions alive," says Cyrus, 16. "The most important thing is not about doing the same thing every year, but creating new memories."Cyrus is usually the one to capture those feel-good moments. "I'm always the one taking the pictures, and then I never am in the pictures!" says Cyrus. "I wish I had not been obsessing with taking the pictures and remembered to embrace the moment." This year, however, will be different. Says the singer: "It's important at Christmastime to be daring – to put your cell phone and your computer away and actually be with your family and not just be worrying about other things that you can deal with every other day."

In laws dominates my world!!!

In-laws sucks!!!!!grrr! Sometimes my patience endures till the end. But this time, it was over! we were living beside their house and the only thing that separates us are plants that was displayed and its for sale. So every time I have things to be done or plans about our home, in laws were there to comment or suggest anything . Sometimes I'd just say yes or go with their suggestions but annoyance struck me and back of my mind tells me that I want them to evaporate. Living in the same house creates chaos and freedom was far to me. But never in my life rather never dream of living with them in one house. Big thanks to my husband who build his own house. I want to have a family of my own, stood at my own, live peacefully and do things on my own. Even though, these situations arises, still I respect and love them. Besides it is the family of my husband. Being the only one who resides near them, I have to have an endless patience(Oh God!please let me have this!) and try to be good daughter in law to them.

Boy George has been convicted

Boy George has been convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort. The jury in a London court sided with Audun Carlsen, 29, who claimed that the former Culture Club frontman (real name George O'Dowd), 46, had handcuffed him and beat him with a metal chain. This musician was known from his 80's hits such as "Karma Chameleon".
Admitted to cuffing the escort, but said it was because he suspected the man of tampering with his computer. According to the U.K.'s Press Association, the singer looked grim as the verdict was delivered. The singer was released on bail until his Jan. 16 sentencing. Judge David Radford warned Boy George that he was likely to face jail time. "The fact that your bail is being continued does not imply that this will be dealt with by a non-custodial sentence," he said, CNN reports. "I don't want any false expectations created." He has a long history of drug abuse in 2006. He spent 5 days sweeping the streets of New York as his court ordered community service. I think this was the 2nd time of the musician facing the law.

Child's burden in School through their Backpacks


I am worried to my child Keisha who is now in level 3 studying in a private school who carries all her things in school through backpacks. As if she's carrying the world-her textbooks, notebooks, baon and girly stuff on her small and fragile shoulders. Everyday she caries everything even though all her different textbooks may not be use all for one day. The school did not allow preschool students to use trolley or stroller bags so as to avoid accident to other children. Backpack may be practical carryall for kids school stuff but be aware that one day it may lead to a series of health concerns for children. Improper use of backpacks can really cause stress to the bones as well as the body. It can be source of damage to a child's spine. Carrying heavy loads could lead to medical problems such as muscle fatigue, scoliosis and spondylitis. So, to ease the burden everyday for Keisha, I have pack the right amount of things inside her bag and the rest will be left in our home, things that will not be needed on that particular day. I also teach her to carry her stuff in correct and safe way. Making sure that snug are not too tight and distributing the weight evenly and stabilize the load. Remind her also to rest if she starts feeling some discomfort while carrying the bag. It is more important to teach children the proper way in carrying their backpacks to avoid hunched backs later on. Child's bone are still developing so unnecessary stress on the young bones can alter its growth.
