Tomorrow is September in some countries, ahead of the rest of the world.  It's the start of the "'ber" months as we say.  This month too happens to be the time for the Mooncake fest, or the Mid-Autumn Festival. For this year, the lunar celebration is officially on Sept. 19.

It's really quite early, but hubby, being Chinese, and I bought a sample of mooncake today.  We'll soon find out if it's any good.  *Excited*

    Hello again,
    Yes, I've been AWOL and ... I missed everyone. I love the pictures of the moon cakes above. Would like to try one some day as I don't think I've eaten it before. Thanks for the share. ;-)

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions.

Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
