Christmas recipe and memories
contributed by Louie Tacker
HELLO again, dear readers. Been a while, but I’m glad to be back here, giving my humble contribution to this blog.
With the onset of the holidays, my mind always gets busy remembering my childhood memories of Christmas. When I was a child, my mom would do all her rituals for Christmas. Now […]
July tail ender
Well, last July 31, my daughter turned 16.
I think I have once said here that my three kids are all July born. And the youngest and only girl happened to be at the tail end - ‘humabol pa siya’. Funny thing is - she was born just after the killer quake that hit Luzon on […]
My first born’s red letter day…
My eldest son may have thought I have forgotten… but a mother never forgets.
Marco, my first born marked his birthday last July 14, Friday. Well, as he is away from us (he works in Manila), he had to celebrate with his friends. He texted me though, asking if we could go there and join him, […]
Happy birthday, son!

Happy birthday to me… haha!
Well, what do you know - last June 21, I turned another year older!
It was not a very memorable birthday, actually (on the positive side) - for several reasons. One, there was whole day power interruption in our place at Bonuan, due to upgrading works by the electric company in which they had to change old […]
What are fathers made of?
Last Sunday, June 18 was Fathers’ Day. The text joke most circulated on this day was: “Fathers’ Day ngayon, oras naman ng pahinga para sa mga papa. Pahinga sa paglalaba, paglilinis ng bahay, pamamalantsa, pagluluto…” (It’s Fathers’ Day today, so it is time for dads to take a rest. Rest from the laundry, house cleaning, ironing and […]
Mother’s birthday
Today, June 8, is my mother’s 85th birthday!
Wow! Will I also live that long? (even beyond, i wish! =>)
Happy Birthday, Nanay! I will always cherish the legacy of love, sacrifice and caring you have showered and continue showering on us your children - which legacy I shall certainly hand on to my own children.
Thank you […]
Post-Mothers’ Day thoughts
Christa, Pauline (Chu), Gwen, James, Paul, Calvin, Maverick, Jairus, Sybil, Mieko, Kim, Christina, Harold, Gerard, Meme, Charmaine, Karla, Lawrence, Israel, Yassy, Pauline (Gawkee)….
No, I am not making a roll call. I’m just trying to test myself how many of my daughter’s classmates I know by their names.
For me, it is very important that I know […]
Baking up Easter memories…
by Louie Tacker - As Easter is fast approaching, I sit back and my mind fills with thoughts of childhood.
Being raised Roman Catholic I realize that Easter is the most holy of all the Catholic Holy days. After all it is the culmination of Jesus’ life, the whole point of His being on this earth. […]
Summer Safety
As summer heat escalates, so does the mercury reading.
Expectedly, this Holy Week, we will be experiencing days in their most humid state, enough to make us want to either ‘jail’ ourselves inside air conditioned rooms, lounge on the veranda, take a trip to the resort of our choice or go to cooler places in the […]
