57/366 Day | Trip to Asian Store


We went to the Asian store downtown today and bought a bunch of goodies for pinay wifey. Bought some fish too. It was a different trip compared to the previous because this time we all went to the store. Jake had this funny reaction of the place and said “This place is a mess”. Anyway, I spent $40 in that place and it’s all worth it.

54/366 Day | Brownies

Brownies anyone?

Jake love helping in the kitchen stuff. He wants to cook too. So when we went to the store I grabbed a pack of this ready mix brownie. We baked it couple of days ago. It doesn’t look nice like the one in the box but it taste fine. Justine and I finished the whole piece today.

Menorca or also known as Minorca is one of the islands in the Balearic Archipelago. It is a part of Spain and has a population of less than a hundred thousand inhabitants. The island is famously known for the stone monuments here that are believed to be built by the prehistoric humans and these monuments vary in size.

Winter Blues and Frozen Pipe

Frozen Pipe

Why is it every winter, lot’s of people get a winter blues. I think it’s because of the cold weather. Well, today the weather is good. It’s cold but it’s bright. Mr. Sun greeted us hello this morning. Last year, our winter was colder than freezing. We experienced frozen pipe in our bathroom every time the temperature dropped to one digit. We had to open the back part of the bathroom tub where the water coming from and you can see the hose and maybe one of it is the hydraulic hose and place the space heater near it to unfroze the pipe. It’s hard because we did not have running water both in the bathroom and kitchen sink. I think the problem with that house was, it did not have insulation as well as space heater. We had to buy 4 portable space heater to keep up warm during the winter. Meanwhile, this house we are living today is great. The space heater is working well and it’s warm inside too. We still feel winter blues because less going outside but not as bad as before.
