Get It Straight with Daniel Razon Program will End

As I am watching Good Morning Kuya this morning of June 24, 2015, Daniel Razon announced that his program "Get It Straight with Daniel Razon" will cease. No further announcement if there will be replacement but his simple statement that he hoisted made a very strong sad impact on me. I've been watching his program for a quite few weeks already and it engrossed me to carefully listen on his words as he slowly unraveled the center thought or purpose of the questions he is throwing to the guests.

I started watching the GMK show few weeks back when I am no longer interested on how the other two high rating channels run the program. There are so many show businesses and less wholesome news and to add up the fast speaking reporters which in turn like listening to fumbled words and were not able to digest of what they are talking about.

Motor Ride at Antipolo City 2013

Long vacation, no school and no work. We took the time to have a joy ride to Antipolo City using our motorcycle, easy to avoid and get through the busy and heavy traffic.

Going up the mountain is a splendor, fresh air, cold breeze, relaxing sounds, great view of the city. Unluckily, our phone camera was not able to capture the city, foggy and bright, reflecting the lens and I cannot find a good angle.

3 Thrifty Tips for a Schooling Kid

I have set aside a daily allowance for my daughter to spend in the school. With her money allowance, we as parents gave her the right to choose what to buy for herself whether snacks, lunch, or treats. Or sometimes an unexpected need for school projects or supplies for writing. With her 100 pesos daily allowance, a surmountable change is still left in her pocket. Twenty pesos, fifty pesos, five pesos and most of the times nothing - NADA.

As a kid she is, it is inevitable for canoodle wishes to buy her additional foodies and goodies at sari-sari and convenience stores nearby our house. Thus as loving parents, we give in with her “lambing” not thinking that this small amount is reduced from our family budget.

How to Cook Fried Rice with Chorizo

Last night, we overestimated rice servings so this morning we still have more than a handful of leftover white rice. Well, I cannot let it go to waste considering that I store it inside the fridge and some people are not lucky to have three meals a day. I made a quick sniff if the rice is spoiled and it was not.

How To Cook HamSiDog (Ham, Sinangag, and Hotdog)

It is seven in the morning busy surfing the net and my daughter sneaked behind me shouting "I'm awake, I'm awake". I was a little bit startled unknowing she woke up early today considering it is their summer vacation.

She immediately turned on her PS2 game "God of War" and quickly turned to me and requested that I will make breakfast. I checked the fridge and gladly, the hawaiian ham is still on stock and the cheesedog comes in handy. Jaha loves ham except if it is fried.

Concocting Watermelon Fruit Juice

Summertime and the family decided to go to Quiapo, Manila where all society status roamed around looking for good stuff for an affordable price. Yes, that is the glorious place where the rich and famous attends mass at the Catholic Church beside the Miranda and the poor and middle class mingled to buy or to sell along the sidewalks. Bystanders are scattered everywhere, finding easy-money extra job.

After circling around the market area window-shopping and bargain hunting, we happened to spot little stores near the bridge where they sell varieties of fruit. Jaha quickly exclaimed to buy watermelon and she chose the biggest fruit she could see.
