Naked Eye: The Ride
http://monkeyseye.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-ride.html
Tuesday, March 26, 2013. The Nicasio route is very popular to cyclists because of its elevation, winding roads, bike-friendly neighborhoods and wonderful views. Some riders from other cities would even drive here to ride in the Nicasio route. Luckily, I live in the area, and Nicasio is just a 30-mile ride for me back and forth. Now back to my real story. So I was beaming with pride when I stopped at the General Store for a water refill. I looked at my phone GPS and thought to myself, "Wow! There was also...

Naked Eye: August 2012
http://monkeyseye.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. Speaking of lost, a man whom we once knew as a good shepherd has gone astray. A scandal erupted in our parish this week. Imagine our shock when we were informed at mass on Sunday that one of the three priests in our beloved parish of St. Isabella has been arrested and in jail for inappropriate behavior. Without knowing any details, the first thing that came to my mind was, "this better not involve a minor! Thank God, it didn't (as far as we know)! I was not even halfway yet I w...

Naked Eye: August 2011

Wednesday, August 31, 2011. How can I not be keeping up with him? How can I not know where he is at- with his learnings, his progress, the new toys that he likes or new things that he likes to do? Taking the time off from work will be a tough thing for me to do, but I might just make it happen. The Japanese Friendship Garden, San Jose, CA. The bottom of his feet! And then cover his feet with blanket or socks. Am I the only one who doesn't know this? Clearly, my mom doesn't. My siblings and I grew up ...

Naked Eye: September 2011
http://monkeyseye.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Everything will be just fine. Days like these will come to pass. I know it's one of those weeks when every day seems like a 24-hour work day. You push yourself to the limits and you end up getting pushed to the wall instead, left with not a lot of choices. You do what seems right, but nothing seems to work out as well as they should and you end up with a marathon of discouraging results. So take it easy. Hang in there. You'll be fine. Saturday, September 24, 2011. He can ta...

Naked Eye: February 2012
http://monkeyseye.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. I am angry. Angry at myself for not being able to keep up to a fitness routine. It is fair to say that I have not been taking care of my body and my health and I am now seeing the not-so-pleasant results. The last reading on my scale shows 128 pounds. If this reads 130, which could be anytime soon, then I'm surely freaking out! So help me God. Thursday, February 23, 2012. And you are right about it being very close in taste to the San Pedro lechon manok that we both so love.

Saturday, February 16, 2013. Celebrating Love, Life and Christianity. I was overwhelmed with gratitude that day, and recalling the event now makes me feel grateful again. Grateful to God for blessing my parents with 40 wonderful years. Grateful for the love that my parents have for each other- the same love we were showered with while we were growing up. I hope God will bless them with another decade, and more. Friday, February 15, 2013. So I am making a renewed commitment to my blog. I will visit th...

Naked Eye: Surprised At 40
http://monkeyseye.blogspot.com/2013/03/surprised-at-40.html
Thursday, March 21, 2013. Wow, time has really gone by unbelievably fast. While I was putting this collage together for her surprise party, I thought about her and how she was in her younger years. I wish I had photos of her back then to include in the collage, but every memory I have of her is all in my head. But I know she is out there, living her life, managing a household, being the mom and wife that she wants to be, realizing some dreams. She's had her share of challenges, but who doesn't? I hope sh...

Naked Eye: July 2012
http://monkeyseye.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 16, 2012. My take at Pandan Flan. This weekend, I had to give in to my craving for something sweet, egg-y and creamy. I thought of making some custard cake or tart, but suddenly thought of that really delicious Pandan Flan that I had at Crimson Resort in Mactan last month. Pandan Flan, along with other desserts from Crimson Resort in Mactan, Cebu. Freshly baked. I was so happy to see these babies come out of the oven. They smelled so good! Finished product. Creamy, rich and delicious flan.
