One of our favorite place to visit in Dallas is the Dallas Zoo. So, we think that a visit to the San Antonio Zoo should be included on our plan when we go to San Antonio. We would like to see the 8,500 animals of 778 species. It would be amazing to see the interactive exhibits that includes the Africa live, Lory landing, butterflies, the real wild fun farm, to name a few.  A ride  on the San Antonio Zoo eagle, will never be forgotten. Oh, we couldn't wait! After all the fun and excitements, a relaxing stay at Crockett Hotel would be end our day!

No! Not a Cake for His Birthday

My son's eight birthday is fast approaching. In three weeks time he'll be celebrating his birthday and two days after that, he is going to get baptized in our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). We are all excited for his baptism! This year, we decided to make his birthday celebration an only "family affair." We would just take him to his fave restaurant, give him a new bike (as gift), and take him to a waterpark (WetZone) in Rockwall. I am sure he would have a blast! For now, he still want to have a birthday party, will all his fave foods, friends, and of course....gifts from his friends. I feel sad for him, but we need to be frugal in order to save our money for some important things.

Anyway, talking back on his birthday, he doesn't want me to bake him a cake nor brownie. Instead, he wants me to make him a fruit cobbler! I don't mind fruit cobbler, for it s yummy and also healthy. Today, I made him a blueberry cobbler and oh boy! He gobbled it! He almost finished the whole plate! And while eating it, he couldn't stop saying 'how good it was!" So glad he saved some for Daddy's dessert tomorrow, lol.

FTF: My Quick Chicken Adobo

I happened to have boiled chicken, so what I did was, sauteed it in oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, bay leaves and a little bit of chili sauce. I waited till the sauce is almost gone, then it is ready. There are many style of how Pinoys cook adobo. Sometimes, you can just mix all the ingredients, then boil them until the meat is tender; if you want it dry or with a little sauce, it's up to you.

FTF: Biko

Last week was Allison's 8th birthday and baptism. I made a Biko for refreshment as her Mom requested me to bring something. So, here it is. Though it was new to them, they ate the Biko and Allison actually loves it. I am glad I chose to bring this meryenda for Allison and her Mom are both allergic to wheat and this s a gluten free food.

I am back, and this is my entry for FTF this week :-), Join us...click the button below.

Affordable Eyeglasses at Zenni Optical

The importance of reading is one of the things we want to impress upon our son's mind. It teaches you almost everything you want to know in this life. I used to read a lot when I was young. Mostly, I read English magazines and books. It help me learn to speak English and write as well. No wonder why teacher put so much emphasis on encouraging kids to read even during summertime as well as telling their parents to read to their kids everyday. Anyway, we have been doing these two things s far. Husband and I noticed that our son sometimes misread and skip some words when he reads. We couldn't figure out why. All we can think of is that he might need an eyeglasses. If so, then we need to take him to an ophthalmologist and have his eyes check. A prescription  for eyeglasses is what we need to get him an eyeglasses.

Good thing I know that I can buy cheap eyeglasses online. This website manufactures and sells not only eyeglasses but also fashionable, and quality sunglasses that are affordable. Zenni optical is known for inexpensive yet quality made sun and eye glasses. Anyway, I need a new prescription eyeglasses myself, and we couldn't afford to buy one anywhere because I need to at least pay $300 for it. But at zenni optical, I can buy prescription eyeglasses without getting broke. Imagine two eyeglasses worth $300 each. Where in the world I will get $600 for me and my son's eyeglasses. No wonder why wouldn't go back to our eye doctor for the doctor would ask him to get a new one since it's been years since he got his eyeglasses and it really need to upgrade it.
