Ian did cooked something special for our lunch last Sunday, Feb 10. Our Chinese New Year and my birthday celebration rolled into one feast. 🙂

Our latest family pic.

Nothing really fancy, only my family, Glenn (thanks for the Tikoy!) and Mona my sister’s friends came over to greet.

 

Yummiest ube cake made by Ate Irene

Grilled Liempo

Siomai!

Baked Chicken w/ Rosemary

Eggplant Salad

All of them made and prepared by Ian 🙂 I did the slicing on some of the ingredients. Hoho! We also had Carbonara and Leche Flan.

My kids were busy playing around with their cousin Dwyane whom they haven’t seen for quite sometime. You know how it is when kids go and play, riot!

at 35, I am so thankful and grateful for an added year in my life. I only wish for a good health and long life so that I can really take good care of my family. I have so many material things that I wish to have, but they do came least on my priorities now.

I just want to  keep things simple and less complicated. Learning to accept and appreciate things coming my way and  avoid whining when things turn sour.
