Miracles Happen When You're Not Expecting It

A few weeks ago, I blogged about Fatsopillar here and here and here. The last entry was the time when we can't find him in his calamansi plant home.

I was really feeling sad because I've grown to "love" my Fatsopillar. I even gave him a whole calamansi plant for him to chew so that he will grow big and strong. But one rainy night last month, he vanished when I was looking for him the following morning. I blame myself for transferring him to a new calamansi plant which was placed outside the garden, sans roof.

And just like that, summer's over. Rain comes frequently and yesterday, most part of Manila were flooded. It was really a gloomy day yesterday. But today, I woke up to the blinding sunlight (late na kasi nagising! hahaha) and even used an umbrella to hide from the sun.



Then it rained again. The sky darkened and there was heavy downpour. So sad. Daughter and I planned to go to Wilson but decided to cancel because we don't want to get wet. Then I had the idea to move some of the plants directly into the falling rain.

And I found these happy tweenie-pillars eating the leaves from the calamansi plant. I think caterpillars love plants with vitamin C! Hahaha



I'm so happy with my new tweenie-pillars. I hope that they'll eat all the leaves off the calamansi plant (I won't mind) so that they'll grow big and bigger and morphed into butterflies (or moths!), or bats? :P

So anyways, just like the discovery of the tweenie-pillars, something great also happened to me, to us (my family) today. I've been stressed about it for the past two weeks but God is good, and miracles happen when you're not expecting it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
