Refrigerator Cake

Now, who doesn't love Grahams?! It's called "the refrigerator cake". Since you don't have to bake it and you will just simply put it in the ref, i guess that's why it's called the refrigerator cake :D

It's easy to make. Just put graham crackers in the container. i always use the rectangular one so the grahams will fit perfectly and won't leave any gap. Then the mango cream or mocha cream. I made two different flavors, Mango and Mocha! You have to put cream in every layer. I go for 5 layers and put a lot more cream!

Ingredients on how to make Mango Cream:

2 Nestle Cream

1 Condensed Milk

3 Riped Mango Fruits (make sure it's sweet)

Procedures:

Put the nestle cream and the condensed milk. Slice the mangoes, then set aside at least half of the sliced mangoes. Then what you'll do to the bone is you squeeze it until it produces juice and grate the sliced mangoes into the cream. Now do the layers! For every layer, put some sliced mangoes.

Ingredients on how to make Mocha Cream:

2 Nestle Cream

1 Condensed Milk

1 tbsp Coffee

4 tbsps Milo

Procedures:

Just put the nestle cream, condensed milk, coffee and milo altogether then mix it! Do the layers! You can also put some chocolate bits for every layer.

So easy!

Nail Art

Oh how i love painting my nails! :D These are the different Nail Arts i did.

First time i tried doing nail art. I don't have tools yet so i improvised. As my dotting tool, i used the tip of the toothpick. For doing the stripes i used striper and since i don't have the real striper, i took an old brush from my old nail polish and cut it off to make the strands slimmer and as for the diamond shape, i used sticky tape. Make sure that the polish is already super dry so it won't tear off once you remove the sticky tape out of your nails or else the polish will stick to the sticky tape. Tip: for best result, dry the polish for a day before sticking some sticky tape :)

 Of all the nail arts i did, i hate this the most. I was careless. I didn't dry the first coating just after 3 mins or so. I started sticking the tape to form the stripes so this is how it turned out. Messy!

 Dots! This is so easy. Just paint your nail, then let it dry for like 10 mins. Then start doing the dots. You can also use the tip of the pencil to make the dots. :)

Tiger print. This is easy too. I used striper to do the prints.

If you're going to use a sticky tape, i suggest to make it dry for a day.

Oh ombre! My all time fave! This is quite complicated. I used a make up sponge to do this. Instead of putting the polish on your nails, you're gonna put the 2 different colors of polish onto the sponge then after putting the polish onto the sponge, dab it on your nails. Make sure to do it asap coz the polish dries quickly.

 Ombre with heart. The heart is so easy to make. I used a dotting tool to shape the heart.

 Ombre with ribbon. I had a hard time doing the ribbon. I shaped the ribbon into the sticky tape then snip it and stick the ribbon shaped tape onto my nails. Then put some polish. Make sure to make the border a little thick so when you put the polish, it won't touch your nails.

 Very easy. I used the stamp to do this. You can buy it online.

I used sticky tape to form the stripes.

My Nail Art Stamp :)

Hope you learned something form this :)

Loom Band Madness

So, who did not go gaga over the Loom Band furor? :D Even me loved the idea! Hubby bought me 3 boxes of it. These were the ones i did which is really, really hard to make. I loved the flower and ribbon thingy though i had some dilemma doing it, but oh well! It looks good, right?

Graham Balls

I made these graham balls before and it was easy. It's like doughnuts but no need to bake.

Ingredients:

graham crackers i almost finished the whole box of grahams (crushed)

peanut butter 1/2 bottle (Ludy's a local brand in the PH)

condensed milk 1 can

peanuts (crushed)

chocolates

Procedures:

I crushed the grahams first (i bought the wrong one i know, coz there's actually crushed grahams you can buy in groceries). After i was done crushing, i put the peanut butter then the condensed milk. I Mixed it til it's moist. Then form a circle, small or big it depends on you. Melt the chocolate. Dip the graham balls into the melted chocolate then dip into the peanuts.

Marvo and Mazie loved it! Mazie even brought some to the school so she can share it with her classmates. Sad to say Vinno didn't like it. Maybe because he really doesn't like the taste of peanut butter. So next time, i'll use chocolates for the flavor.

It's like munchkins of Mister Donut!

American Music Awards

i watched AMAs just a while ago and i must say Kate Beckinsale really caught my attention. She was so gorgeous and stunning, I love her white dress, it fits perfectly on her! Knowing that she already have a 16 year old kid, wow! Just wow! Just like what Guiliana Rancic said, "she's not normal".

Vivo and Mazie's Favorite

My back really hurts. I think i'm gonna skip my 30 mins exercise for today. Sign of old age haha. I slept at around 8 pm last night then woke up at 3 am. Marvo and Mazie are already in school. Vinno is already awake, he's inside the room watching an educational film using the Ipad Mini.

Now i'm gonna share with you on how to cook Pork Steak. I always cook this dish coz my husband and my daughter really loves it.

Ingredients:

pork 1 kilo

soy sauce

calamansi

1-2 pcs of white onions big (cut into circles)

Very few i know. This is how i cook it, very simple but tastes good :) By the way, i'm not a good cook. I just learned how to cook when Marvo was like 3 yrs old.

Procedures:

Mix the soy sauce and calamansi. 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 8-10 pcs of calamansi. It depends on how big your calamansi. What i do is i marinate the pork overnight so the pork will absorb the soy sauce and calamansi. Then i will fry the pork, set aside. Then sautee the white onions, put the fried pork, then put the remaining sauce, the one you used to marinate the pork. That's it! Easy right?!

I prefer a lotta white onions coz it just goes well with this dish and simply because we love white onions!

From Broken Jeans To A Denim Bag

I had a nice sleep. I actually slept early at around 8:00 pm and woke up really, really early at 1:00 am hahaha. I accomplished a lot today. I ready the kids for school as i always do during weekdays. I cleaned the living room, Mazie's room, our room and bathroom, folded the clothes, cooked breakfast and lunch and i took Vinno to an early bath since he woke up early.

By the way, here are the finished product of the denim bags i did from broken jeans. It's easy, it's not as difficult as it may seem.

Now jeans are all piled up. I need to finish those within a week. We're planning to sell it. By the way, those jeans are not broken, seriously. We just don't feel like wearing it anymore that's why we decided to make money from those jeans. Why not?

Husband To The Rescue

Since i slept at 7 am ish, i can't get up. Mazie who woke up so early at around 8 am asked me to cook breakfast for her. My brain wanted me to stand up and cook something for her but my body wanted to stay on the bed. Good thing my husband was still at home that he didn't go out early for his meeting, so he cooked food for the kids. Thanks to my husband! He's my hero! I thought he's gonna get mad at me but thanks heavens he did not!

I really, really need to sleep on time so this incident will never happen again. It's my job to cook food and take care of them. Now i feel bad for myself. 

Balloon Sculpting

I never thought that balloon sculpting would be so much fun! All the blowing and twisting. haha. Make sure not to twist it too strong coz the balloon will pop, happened to me lotta times. I made a dog, sword, dinosaur and this one flower. Sorry i don't have pictures of some i mentioned earlier, i just have one picture, the flower. I learned it from YouTube. It's easy! Try it yourself! Not only you will enjoy it but your kids as well. They'll be very excited to see the finished product and will be asking for more!! Have fun! :D

DIY Paper Toys

This happened months ago. I just wanna share it with you guys on how to make paper toys.

Since my kids wanted to have Adventure Time Toys, i searched google on how to make paper toys. It's just a waste of money if i'm gonna buy them toys that will be played with for just a short period of time. So i saw this website, there's a downloadable files for paper toys. It's so easy and fun! We enjoyed doing it! Just some snipping, folding and sticking and voila! You already have a toy!

Tip: Just don't get it wet coz it's gonna break. :D

Sleep Where Are You?

It's 5:44 in the morning and i'm still awake! I just can't sleep! Everybody's sleeping except me! I've been tryina sleep for like 2 hours but i really can't so i decided to start a blog. My blog is about "Family" I've been thinking for a title and a domain and decided to use our last name as the domain and the title.. well it should be family related so there.

I used to do websites before, i actually did a lotta layouts. I started at Geocities and Blogger. By the way, Geocities is no longer up, they changed it to Reocities. It's nice to know that Blogger is still up, and it's almost the same as before. it's just that, it's much easier now to do the layout thing. Before i use notepad, yeah i know HTML stuff. you also need FTP to transfer your files. That's what i use to make a website, but now, it's all there, just drag and drop and you're done.

So why did i go back to blogging? Simply because i love to share my thoughts to everyone and i missed doing some layouts and wanna try if i still know some HTML codes and wow! i still got it! :D I know sometimes i post nonsense things, coz i post even the simplest things that's happening. Well that's me haha.

I love to read blogs a lot. I learned a lot from them. Especially on how to cook. Coz, seriously, i am not a good cook but i'm tryin my best. So back to my blog, it's all about "Family". My websites before were all about me. Things are different now. Because you're gonna read posts about my husband, kids, some stuff that we're doing, and some stuff that i do (correction it's not about me, it's about the stuff that i do haha), even the weirdest things, all of it. So have fun reading! :)
