Champorado Blues

It's raining heavily here in Taiping now. It's cold and so fresh... and how I'm longing for my favorite Champorado ( chocolate rice) . How I wish we have the cacao tablets ( Tablia) here so, I could make myself an authentic Champorado with a generous amount of powdered milk and sugar. It would truly make a perfect snack for this kind of weather.

Champorado used to be my favorite snack ( second to Banana Que) in the Philippines especially during the rainy season. Hayyy... How I miss all these snacks.. Enough of talking about food for now, or else I'll be thinking of my next food trip and gain so much that even the the best diet pills won't be as effective. :)

Follow me at Twitter

I haven't been using Twitter much since I registered a few months ago. I found it quite redundant with my blog and my Facebook status update and I didn't know many 'twitters' yet at that time. But then, as I've browsed through the whole site last night, I found out a lot of interesting things there.. many popular websites and personalities are tweeters and I became their follower. I think it's a great, brief way to get updates and information. And not to mention, I also found out that you can also earn while 'tweeting' your life and activities. :)

So, I guess I'll be using more of this service now.. So, if you have a Twitter account.. please follow me @lalainejesu . See you then!!

Foal for Baby Horse

My Li'l girl and I were playing a game one time, naming the baby animals. Then when I asked her about the name for a baby horse, she said something that sounded like "fone". So , I corrected her and told her that it's called a Pony and not 'fone' . Then she insisted that it's 'fone', Amma! . I just chuckled and let it pass by until later, when it was time for me to help her with her school work, I found out that the baby horse is now called ' foal'. So, that's what she was telling me about! Silly me! Honestly, I didn't know that a baby horse is called a 'foal' as far as I can remember, I have been taught that it's called a 'pony'.

So, much has really changed these days. With all the changes with the school system and terminologies, I'm not sure if I can effectively tutor my daughter in the near future..heheh! I could remember the time when I was small and my Mom was teaching me Maths and I got annoyed because she was teaching me the 'wrong' thing. It wasn't really wrong but because of the 'generation gap' , things were simply taught differently during their time. I guess now, it'll be my turn teaching an annoyed li'l girl over a 'wrong' teaching..hahaha!

Anyways, below is a photo of my li'l girl when she was 3 years old. She really had a great time riding the pony err..the foal. Do you think she'll be a future equestrian someday? But to be one and look like one she needs the proper attire, breeches and all. :)
