jankenpoy

I was walking down the stairs from Church when I met this couple going the opposite way. This particular stairs is actually quite a challenge to climb most especially during summer even for young people. But this old couple found a fun way to scale it by doing Rock, Paper, Scissors/Jenkenpoy/Jak en Poy all the way up. Keeping the sweetness and fun and humour all these years. Inspiring. We pray that A and M will too.

Nihongo 101 with Yui: shippo

We were on our way to daycare when (as usual) we spotted a dog.

Mommy: Look Yui, there’s a cute dog over there.

Yui: Shippo shippo (pointing to her behind at the same time).

Mommy: yes, dogs have tails ne. Shippa, shippa (I was then making a mental note that shippa is Japanese for tail)

Yui: shiPPO. Shippa nai (not shippa)

And so it has begun. 😀

humba

Been craving for Filipino food lately – actually, more like, I miss Papa’s cooking – so I cooked humba (slightly sweet adobo) using Japanese condiments – dashi, mirin, Japanese soy sauce, sesame salt, sesame oil plus wei pai, a Chinese flavouring that’s great for soup. The result, deliciously Filipino Humba, as if it was Papa who cooked.
