Fried Chicken

I love fried chicken. This is one of the things I miss most from Manila where fried chicken abounds! Jollibee, Mc Donald's, Tropical Hut, Savory...nagugutom na ko. I think Australians aren't as fond of it as I am though. Halos puro roasted chicken and what I want is the greasy, crispy chicken I'm used to:)
Good thing my mom taught me how to do it when they came over to visit. Before I avoided cooking it cause I don't like handling chicken too much ( maarte, takot sa salmonella). But its so yummy and really simple to make so I make it most of the time now. Bonus is Nix likes it very much.
So our dinner last night was Pork Nilaga and this:

pardon the lack of presentation, was too hungry:)

Best eaten when piping hot and just out of the pan:)

Recent buys

Went to the shops last weekend since we needed to buy some stuff for Nix' upcoming birthday. It will just be the three of us but still we want to make it special that's why were planning on giving her an extra special surprise on that day. Hopefully it all works out *wink*

Anyways, since its June already end of financial year sale is all over. So tempting! Here are the things we got:

All for the kitchen so medyo allowable ang gastos na ito:)

My favorite buy which I still have to use is the mini frying pan. Madali kasi hugasan when I just need to cook a little of something diba:)

This is our favorite movie for the moment and we've been watching it daily, sometimes even twice a day. I think its a great fun watch for kids and parents alike and I love the songs!

I like all the characters but Maximus and Pascal are especially more adorable for me, they are pretty smart creatures don't you agree?:) 

Pink toys

Our daughter's birthday is coming up soon and when I asked her what she wanted for her present she said she wanted a teddy bear, a pink one at that and in costume:) So I'm thinking we might bring her to Build-A-Bear Workshop at the mall so she could have fun choosing her present. 

However if sana I have the budget, I would like to get her this as well:

Mini sizzlin kitchen from elc.com.au

It's so cute and it makes sounds daw. Kaya lang mahal, $AUD 75 and its out of stock online so maybe I should just look for a more affordable yet as cute alternative. Weakness ko talaga ang toy kitchen stuff.

And here's another cute one also from ELC, Box of shoes :)

And aside from these, if I have the budget I will book us flights to Manila and throw her a Jollibee party. Oh she'd really enjoy that,I could just imagine:) I'd enjoy that too (haha) Maybe next year we could do that, God willing.

Winter

I think its officially the start of winter in our side of the world:) Thankfully though its been sunny since yesterday so none of the dark gloomy skies outside. I was even able to hang laundry outside yesterday so that was good. Nix has been sick the past few days and thank God that she is better now, still a bit picky about food but at least she's drinking milk and taking in a few spoonfuls of rice.

The months of April and May have been happily busy for our family. Our little abode here have been host to my parents, my tita, cousin and inaanak and only recently our friends who visited from Queensland. Now though they've all gone home so quiet na ulit kami dito. Look forward ko nalang next visit nila para di na ko ma-sad.
