Hubby's Bday 2012/2013

A lot of celebrations during October, ang dameng me berthday. Lahat ng mga kapatid ko at syempre si hubby. Ewan ko nga ba at sa bilis ng panahon ay nakaligtaan kong i-post ang kanyang pinaka-importanteng number ( ehemm itago daw ba ang age hehehe ) i mean, event last year. Huli man daw ay makakahabol din kaya eto na sya...

 my first attempt of moist chocolate cake ( yes maraming itlog yan hehehe )

for his 60th bday eto ay lunch lang na surprise sya dahil dumating ang grupo

pa cutey ang nagbabata ( he was wearing ang kaisa-isang gift ng isa nameng kaibigan )

ang mga paparazzi photo dito at photo doon

extended ang bday dahil nandito din ang anak ni Claudebiko at kame din ay nagsalo-salo at ito ang naging pika-pika pork tocino at diced assorted cheese.

ang regalo? ni son? assorted nespresso capsules ( kape ) at capsule box
I know, taghigpit ng sinturon ( excuse ) hehehe personally i dont give gift to Claudebiko kahit na ngayon year na ito. Type ko lang ;)

hindi ko din sya pinag-bake ng cake! ( ang sama ) isang kandila para sa biniling cake sa panadero ( he blown his candle the night of Oct. 10, 2013 ( opo latest yan hahahaha ) wag na bilangin ang age :))))
Of course, extended pa rin ang kanyang birthday dahil one saturday ang ina ng kanyang anak ay inimbita us to have dinner chez elle ... alors, we went there and we had a great meal and great cheeses yum!

pecorino with truffe hindi ko na natandaan itong isang me herb - herb ang sarap kasi eh hahahaha
Well, nakaraos ang isa na namang taon kahit na simple lang na merong konting drama anyway, napansin ko lang last year isa lang talaga ang post ko sa buwan ng October at kung tutuusin ito din ang first post ko dito sa aking blog para sa buwan na ito. Yaan nyo mag e-effort talaga ako para me ikuwento kahit walang kwento. Pipilitin kong hindi ako antukin para makapag- blog hahahah ngapala wala pa rin akong regalo sa kanya ngunit meron naman syang natanggap na maganda at mamahaling "pull" mula sa kanyang nakaraan huwaw!

Celebrations

Early Bibingclara's birthday celebration - June 23-2013 Done! with Bibingclara's classmates.

the fruit skewer was a hit! except the yoghurt -honey dip i prepared with ;(

 at last, i succeed to make a kitkat-smarties cake for my daughter believe me, the kitkat bars and smarties are gone so fast kids really love it!

and the raspberry choco cake ...
The celebration continues on the real birthdate of Bibingclara with relatives and another birthday bash will be throwing on the last sunday with adult friends. Celebration time come on! (",) you're invited!

The Princesse's world

One sunday, we went to a birthday of a girl who turned 12. As a ritual, i made a cake for the celebration oh no not a cake, a biscuit base + chocolate +marshmallows = S'mores :) yep, it was my first attempt of making S'mores. How about the taste? --- for sure it tastes good!

 we didn't had the chance to taste the S'mores as i, personally get hooked on the cupcakes

my daughter who love to dress like a princess --- dream come true!

 the birthday celebrant was surrounded by little princesse's

 by chance, we met some familiar faces, the friend's of friends (",)

 my Bibingclara enjoying the moments of being a princess ohh look at the cake, so pretty!

 the photo addicts

 yeah, i had two cupcakes

the tired princesses
They had games! Bibingclara had won the trip to jerusalem game. She also got lots of candies from the Pinata.

10th year Birthday Celebration : 10 is my favorite number aside from 8

We attended a birthday dinner celebration last saturday. It was an invitation from a friend who's living not far from our place. That day was also the birthdate of my nephew in Philippines, dec 8 was also a feast of Immaculate Conception. I remember when i was younger, when it's immaculate feast day i used going to the immaculate conception church in Malabon. After church visit, i go directly to the public market to search for "miryenda" i used to eat ginataang bilo-bilo with sticky rice balls hmmm.. i really missed my hometown. So when there's celebration, i bake. And when i bake, i eat hehehe :)

i made a cheesecake brownie for the 3 occassions ( hati-hati na sila dyan hahaha )

when we arrived to their house, i quickly notice their sabsaban " crêche " in french ( thanks Claudebiko for the translation ) note: the little figurines are hand-painted by my friend and they came from different places. I just amazed by the sabsaban  ( i hope i've got the right term in tagalog hahaha )

can't help that's why i asked Claudebiko to picture me with the crêche on the side
Speaking of sabsaban, i was actually suggested that name when i was working in the crib factory. My boss refused when i suggested the said name for the name tags. He has the right medyo hindi maganda ang tunog but hehehe instead when we invented a new wooden high chair model, he was named it under my name para bang pampalubag loob hahaha i do not have idea if they still carrying the name for the high chair till now. Anyway, back to food. Here are the foods :)

 as starters we had salmon canapé ( their specialty ) and fish balls ( tuna and potatoes )

 the birthday celebrant and my unica hija while they're waiting for the other visitors

the pineapple na tinusok - brochettes ( tomatoes, basil leaf, apple, comté and pear ) winner! love the taste
we also had fried spring rolls ( chicken and tuna )

 dumating na ang mga young's :)

 the chopsuey version nila good! thumbs up ( take note sa dame me take out pako at ulam namin mamaya for dinner )

 and the chicken brochettes yum! yum! there was also chopped spicy tomatoes to go with the meal

 my daughter na walang kinain kundi ang "KANIN"

 blowing cake naaaaa.... chocolate cake as desserts sinamahan ng kape at mainit na tsaa

i took a photo of this ... the bday celebrant likes to draw fashion design
Before when i was 12 years old kasing payat nya ako hahaha... seriously, when i saw her draw it mades me recognized na iyan ang suot nya nung nag-halloween party kame.

see? in fairness she wore the same leggings but in black instead of orange
Keep it up girl... maybe one day you'll be a model or a famous style designer one day. Who know's? --Qui sait? :)
