It’s my day off! I’m used to getting up early so I decided to prepare our breakfast.
And so while waiting for my small family to wake up, I decided to take some shots. I remembered this week’s theme for the photo challenge 
scrambled egg with chicken frank sausages
buttered pancakes
french toasts
regular loaf bread
beef bacon
fruit slices
Table is ready
Now, it’s time to wake the guys up 
Have a great day ahead, everyone!
I had a nice time last night! My birthday was celebrated at Kuya Oscar’s flat, and there were lots of food, singing and dancing! Thanks to all who came even on short notice!
Thanks also for all those who remembered to greet on SMS, email and Facebook! FB is really amazing! Now, even my classmates in the elementary years, and long lost friends I have not seen in ages, could send their birthday greetings!
Thanks to my wife and baby who stayed awake until 4am this morning to keep me company on my party.
Ans thanks to the Lord for another year of blessed happy life.
Love u all!

Jen, this is your request!
Have you experienced opening a canned good, and found that there was nothing inside? What did you do then?
I just experienced one. What I did, I searched the internet for the customer help desk of the company who made the product. Luckily, I found it and sent a letter through email. I wrote:
Good day!
My name is Nelson and I’m a loyal customer of San Miguel/purefoods products even here in the UAE. I recently purchased a can of Purefoods Vienna Sausage (140g), but to my dismay, when I opened the can, there were no sausages inside – only water!
Of course I cannot return it to the grocery shop coz it’s not their fault, especially since I bought an unopened can. I took a picture of the can, but of course I know it’s difficult to claim that it’s empty when somebody can just take out the sausages and take picture of an empty can.
I am writing not because I wanted to claim anything. I just wanted to remind you guys that you need to check on your quality control because this incident can also be happening to your other customers, and they are just not reporting. Please look into your packaging processes and check if something is being mislooked.
Thank you and I hope that I get my money’s worth next time I buy products from your company. More power.
