Happy Birthday Rafael

Shop at More Food Adventures

My student's birthday was last October 23. He was supposed to have a party to be attended by us and his relatives, but despite the planning, it didn't happen because his niece died due to dengue. Prior to the planning, before his niece died, his mom kept calling me asking how his birthday should be celebrated. Of course, I felt I was never in the position to tell her so I just told her that how she would like to have it is just fine. But I'd be willing to concede should she plan a surprise. She explained that her son wanted to celebrate it with a pool party, and she was asking me so much details which made her decide later on not to concede with the wished for pool party.  

Today's was not a surprise for Rafael, because what transpired today, although they are still in mourning, was a mother's promise for her son on his birthday. Not happy as he still misses his niece who was close to him after all, but I guess, somehow, his birthday at school have made it a little memorable.  

The kids had an early dinner treat during recess, of burgers and Burger Steak meals. For us teachers, we were given the huge Ultimate Burger Steak, which I have not been able to eat for diet constraints, hahahaha.. 

Then the blowing of the cake and wishes came.. 

And of course, picture taking :-)  

After that, while the kids enjoyed their meal, we had guessing games.. Questions mostly Q&A about the celebrant. This helps me know who the real friends of the celebrant are. 

Of course, before the party ended, the celebrant cut his cake, and left me to continue cutting and serving his guests.. until no cake was left.. I had them take home what's left since Rafael wouldn't bring them home anyway.. His crush got a real good portion, I made sure of that, hehehe..

Balls from Milo

Shop at More Food Adventures

We just had the Milo Olympics and our school was really very busy last week and over the weekend that passed. We bagged the Champion title in Saludo, 3rd Place in Cheer Dance Competition, and 2nd runner up in Ms. Milo. 

When my mom came home after doing the weekend groceries, we were delighted at her loot. She bought this Spalding Soccer ball for my baby brother and the good news is, one can get it for only P 250 with the purchase of a kilo of Milo Drink. The kids love Milo so it was definitely a good buy. Other balls are also available, Basketball and Volley Ball.

Thank You Gagay..

Shop at More Food Adventures

Look what I got? My bff Gay came from Bukidnon where her sister makes this really yummy and healthy Calamasi Juice concentrate which can make 4-5 litters of juice, and no need to add sugar as it is already sweetened. 

The first time I tried their Calamansi Juice concentrate, it was plain and not sweetened, here's another variant of their calamansi juice concentrate. This is Cagayan de Oro's answer to that which we brought from Molave, which was quite good too. 

Anyway, the most exciting part of the token from Gagay are her Polvoron. Freshly baked and oh so yummy. They have been our favorite treat since high school, and when they would make, we always get a pack, Darlene and I, hehehe.. Oh and that time, they just make for give away.. Now, I am hoping my bff would be making this Polvoron as a business, as they are much yummier than those from Goldilocks.. I swear :-)

Thank you Gagay.. Thank you Thank you Thank you..

Food For Free, No Advertising Necessary..

Shop at More Food Adventures

We received a few goodies this week and last week.. My sister arrived from Singapore and she brought home a few goodies courtesy of my mother's funds given to her to buy chocolates and coffee.. She studies there and my mom sends her money from time to time for goodies like these.. Of course, that's for us to share here at the apartment.. 

My brother came home last week with the goodies below. Goodies from Malaysia given to him by a friend of his.

But the kids loved the one that isn't fully free.. Bought Jumbo Hotdogs and the 1 Kilogram pack has 1 pack of large marshmallows for free..
