A Busy Mother's Day

Yesterday, was a mother's day. I asked my husband to renewed my phone card so that i could greet my mom in the Philippines and yes he did. I talked to my mom for more than  hour and the line would cut out so i had to call her three times just to continue with our talk. Mom, did also talked to our daughter and she was happy to hear her granddaughter. It melted her heart that her one and only Filipino American granddaughter was so sweet and greeted her on her special day a happy mother's day from our almost four year old daughter. My mom misses her so much though we had been visited her and stayed for two months.

I found it strange because i was been actively and in the mood of cleaning the house. My husband greeted me a happy mother's day early morning. I do not like house cleaning but yesterday i was really into it. My day was so busy! I cooked, i loaded clothes in the washing machine, i hand washed some of our clothes that needed to, i ran the vacuum, i swept the kitchen floor and more! I should not be doing anything because it was a mother's day. I should be off from my household chores and duties. Joking! 

My Pretty Tulips

The first time that i saw the tulips i fell in love with their beauties. At that time, i wanted to plant the  tulips but i was not aware about the season thing of buying the tulip bulbs. So, it was postponed did not happened and was feeling disappointed. Lasts year, i finally got the chance at the right season at the right time. We went to Lowes Hardware to buy the tulip bulbs and i planted them in Fall season before leaving for our Philippine vacation.

Came home, early this year. Funny, as my husband was teasing me and it made me kind of worried deep in my heart as it was my first time of planting the tulip bulbs. He was telling that i might had the tulip bulbs planted upside down which was absolutely not. I waited and waited and finally i saw them growing. I planted the tulip bulbs in our two flower beds. We picked the multi colored tulip bulbs and i believed we bought 200 bulbs or a little less than 200 bulbs as we got two plastics.

Our daughter, likes them all the colors and they are really growing healthy and beautiful. I like the tulip because they can grow back every year and less  maintenance . Throw or spray flower fertilizer and they will be good to maintain the blooming of their beautiful flowers. Our has different colors only we do not have the purple. I love purple and so as our daughter.

 Look at the photos:

Durian Candy

I bought Durian candies in a bar form though brought only few small boxes but I am still generous enough to share it to my friends and love ones here in USA and part of it brought some powder candy too I was really surprise to my taste buds as i was expecting of being crazy over those delicacies but I was wrong i do not know if it was my taste buds change or the tastes of those delicacies change but anyway, really these are only some hit delicacies that you can see and buy in Philippines:

Durian Fruit

This kind of fruit is surely does "STINKS" but do not be fooled or be discouraged because of its bad smell because it is the opposite of the taste. It has that creamy taste and soft meat. My origin was in Philippines and this fruit is known of coming from one big city where it was far from where i live and despite of being stinky and spiky looking yet one of the priciest fruits that you can buy in Philippines.  People who sell this kind of fruits once they started to get over ripe they will make them into candies and considered as one finest delicacies.
