Ene's Blitz Torte

My sister, Ene, who lives in Los Angeles, sent me a pic of the cake she's been wanting to bake for their Thanksgiving dinner, the Blitz Torte. Today, she spent the afternoon baking the cake. I could not make the picture any bigger. I believe the pic was taken from a camera phone and was texted to my cell phone, which in turn, I sent to my email, so I could post it online. Anyway, here's the picture of the cake (above).

Happy Thanksgiving in advance my dear sis, in case I get so busy on thanksgiving day and I forget to greet you (like I always do). Regards to Scott (my bro-in-law), Sunshine and Alan Malapitan with their two sons, AJ (a talented musician) and John (the whiz kid), to Millette (how's the doctor?), and to Den-Den (sassy lady) and hubby Sal, and her beautiful daughter, Misha.

Happy thanksgiving to brothers Eddie Enriquez (from Manila) and JJ Enriquez (From Sydney), who are currently in L. A. visiting their bother, Scott and his family.

Remembering Mom on Mother's Day

What's a better way of celebrating Mother's Day than remembering your mother and paying a tribute to all her unconditional love, sacrifices, unselfish and caring ways, together with your loved ones (not all of them) on this special day. Now that I have children of my own, I have come to realize that she was not an ordinary mother; she was a supermom. Looking back, I am amazed at how she was able to juggle her time between her work and her devotion to her kids when we were growing up. She became a widow at the age of 41, her second and last marriage (her first husband was a casualty of war). She remained unmarried until the day she died, unconcerned for the attention quite a few gentlemen had given her. Instead, her time was spent religiously on her obligations to raise her three daughters, and managed to send them to one of the best private schools in the country at that time. On her spare time, she volunteered to teach impoverished young women on home economics, f

Good Manners and Right Conduct

Can you imagine what this world would be like if people didn't have good manners? If people just do and say what they felt like without any consideration to others? This world will be in great chaos making us look like savages out of the jungle, uncivilized, rude, lacking  discipline and finesse. Good manners start at home. Our parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, foster parents who took care of us since birth influenced our breeding . Some were taught, some were acquired. Children are great copy cats. They will eventually pick up the good and the bad.

Trick or Treat Night

As I am writing this blog, it's about 7:50 in the evening of Halloween night 2007, a time for little kids and grownups trekking the night in the dark, parents chaperoning their little tots from house to house, getting their share of fun, camaraderie, and of course, candies.    I did my last minute shopping to buy the goodies for the trick or treat trekkers, and I was surprised to come home seeing my daughter's old friend from grade school, Christopher Wisniewski, dressed like a penguin man or, as my nephew, Elijah Sugay said, "he is a character from a movie." From what he told me when I asked him what he was dressed like, he casually replied that he just wore the beak mask and a cream-colored coat and people can figure out who they want him to be. Hmmmmm......    Most of the children and parents weren't sure if he was for real, or just a prop until he moved his index finger up. My little porch got crowded with curious onlookers, mostly kids who got intimat
