First of all, in the wake of Nepal’s 🌏earthquake, let’s please render a helping hand! 👋
I’m relieved that my 🎓grad school classmate has survived and is seeking shelter donations! 💸
Next up on the international front, ESPN’s SportsCenter📺 featured my native country, the 🌴Philippines, in this exclusive 🎬documentary🎥 about Manny Pacquiao and his humble beginnings …
… Just six days from the 2nd of May, when he finally fights👊 Floyd Mayweather this Saturday ~ after coming a long way from Mindanao to the Manila Bay into present day! ⚓️
Therefore, remember: Circumstances, such as socioeconomic status or being from a third world country, DON’T determine your success ~ willpower💡 does!
Pac-WOW 💥 ~ Go, Pacquiao! #DISPObustAFlow 🎤

TGIF! April Showers with a Chance of … Scrambled Eggs ✌
From ☼sunny☼ to stormy, I’m honestly relieved to sleep in on this rainy day because we all need downtime (something that I took for granted and recently realized is a necessity in order to thrive and survive).
Before I made myself this brunch:
Grilled Cheese Garlic French / Texas Toast: French Toast with egg wash (Almond Breeze Coconut Milk blend with cage free egg scrambled) * grilled cheese (Kraft Colby Jack marbled Big Slice) * garlic garnish (McCormick Perfect Pinch Garlic & Herb) for Texas Toast
I also fixed my family theirs:
Chill cats waiting patiently with anticipation of good grub …
Breakfast of Champions: Meow Mix Soufflés “with REAL Chicken, Egg and Garden Vegetables”
Sharing is a skill!
Simple and Savory is the Flavor of this Friday!
Final note: good thing that we chowed down our hearty meals before the heavy hail hit! I saw our neighbor cat sprint across the front yard to safe shelter!

Happy BiG *NINE* to my Fine ♥Valentine♥ Feline Asia Felina Catalina!!!
Happy ♣St. P’s♣ 1 week ago today from my Green-eyed Girl Sweet Annie!!!
Asia & Annie have my ♥heart♥
So when we’re apart
Big Girl & Baby Sis are who I miss …
But when I give Asge a kiss
She retorts with a hiss
As she lets out a growl
& a hint of a howl!
Annie does purr
As I stroke her fur
Vocal Anne may have sharp claws
Yet she does biscuits with her paws
& blinks at me with ♥love♥
Sent from ☼Heaven☼ above!
They both can be sweet
So going home to them is a treat.
Caught pink-pawed in the pantry!
†PTL† = Pray Through LENT * Praise the †LORD†
Happy Early ☼Easter☼!

The 🎅holidays🎄 may be over, but The Best Man †Holiday† is the perfect 🎬movie🎥 for any season and reason!
Last weekend, our latest ❄️snow⛄️ series out of a countless many, I popped the 💽DVD📀 in because
- Watching snow from both my 🏠windows🏡 and on the 📺screen💻 was surreal
- I sought inspiration for ✒️writing💻 a prospective 📚biography📖
- I sought more inspiration for establishing a 🏤school🎓
- I sought inspiration for dressing in black and white for my student’s parents’ 💒wedding👰 where I’ll proclaim🎤 the 📕readings📘
Yet this is by far one of my fave flicks for

Since today’s snow day reminds me of the holidays, how about I show off the dogs who I’ve professionally photographed for season’s greetings?
First, I was fortunate to have two well-behaved French poodles of my doctor friend ~ with Kool-aid smiles!
Then, I took (many takes later) my sister‘s family’s card pic, complete with her Yorkshire terrier*!

After covering Friday’s elementary school appaerance, I rooted on two of my special kiddos, who specifically invited me to show spirit!
1. First, I supported my *superstar* science student in his basketball playoff game
Point Guard for the *MAVS*
in which he continued to advance toward the championship!
2. Then, I went on to his cousin/my honorary GODdaughter‘s volleyball game
Serves Up!
as Maggie’s proud Madrina!

With last weekend being full of festivities, we were in great food and company! My LMT girl Lisa and her hubby hosted Fight Night (UFC main event: Anderson Silva post-2013 leg injury) on Super Bowl Sunday Eve! Then I watched the Big Game with my Papa Jun!
The commonalities between both meals were:
- pizza (Little Caesar’s & Pizza Hut)
- dip (Ranch & Nutella)
- oodles of noodles (post-fight & pre-game)
- veggies (fresh & roasted)
Fight Night Feast: {clockwise from top L} Little Caesar’s Pretzel Pizza from yours truly * fruit w/chocolate fondue made by yours truly (Nutella & Philadelphia Cream Cheese) * veggies w/Ranch dressing * slider sandwiches w/Dijon mustard, turkey & cheese (either Swiss or Munster)
Portion control: Lisa sliced the pizza into smaller pieces, so more could be up for grabs!
These slider sandwiches were a hit! Hands down: they scored a touchdown @ this table!
Fun fact: Did you know that you burn more calories than you consume when you munch on celery due to the crunch? Challenge accepted!
After the fruit was gone, a fellow cat mama & I turned to the carrots to dip into the chocolate!
Post-Fight: Rice Noodles w/meatballs ~ looks like this yummy bowl is Lisa‘s version of Pho!
Pre-Game: My Ramen w/Salsa + P.I. Cheese on Toast
Yes’sir, I AM the Ranch B*tch: from my salad to pizza (Supreme from the Hut)
Almond Joy Pie: filled w/Nutella but bittersweet due to the Seahawks’ SB loss
My Nanay satisfied my chili craving with this Super Bowl Southwestern-Style Chili Bowl! Maraming Salamat Po, Mommy Aya! Ma sarap!
Add cheese to the mix!
Dallop of Daisy: Add sour cream to the mix!
Add avocado to the mix!
Spoon ready to scoop ~ so ladle it on to lick!
Let’s double-dip those chips!
My mom went happy on kale, both in the chili & in these chips baked in EVOO + in this green drink complete con más avocado!
Again, Context Media Health has been on point, as if it’s been reading my mind ~ this time, about Black Beans & Avocados!
