About CASA Veneracion
Casa is Spanish for house. CASA is also an acronym for Connie, Antonio, Sam and Alex. We are all surnamed Veneracion. We all love to take photos -- of anything that catches our fancy. It's a family obsession.
This is a journal of how we live, eat, learn, play and have fun. Work? Work is part of playing and having fun. Seriously.
The kitchen staff
In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP. Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to pinoycook.net. Always unhappy with the fact that the dot com … »»

hahaha! But Connie – pretty soon, I know you will give in to at least one of those requests, aside from the intermediate pad, of course.
Connie, picture muna ang bigay mo para may suspense bago ibigay mo yong tunay, wait at least a week or two, kaya lang baka bigyan ka nang silent treatment.
rhodora, i know! LOL she’s made up her mind she’s going to be a national geographic photographer.
Rey, hahahaha parang offer ko sa dad nya when he says he needs a new bike. i say, picture na lang. hahaha
sass, canon 40D. then your great daughter sam can give YOU back the whole world in PICTURES.
hahaha, nice try Sam. sige, go on convincing Mom, baka bumigay esp. the DSLR. tell her to get herself the newest Canon model na lang and hand out to you her current.
or better, pabili ka na nga lang ng bago. I saw the Canon 400D sa PDI last week, its price was down by 39K from 48,500, hehe (maybe because Canon just released its latest model–the Canon 40D).
re: Sam’s dream to be a National Geographic photog, ay naku, tamang tama sa yo yung camera bag na khaki na nakita ko once sa Island Photo, branded sya, Natl Geographic ang tatak! dali, pabili ka na kay Mommy.
hehe my goodness… I think my 3-year old will grow up with a long list like that. Everytime he sees something he likes, he’d go “buy that ha mum?”
Dunno whether I should be afraid or laugh or cry.
Buti nga si Sam close sa reality ang dream niya. Very possible, actually. Eh, ang daughter ko – she once fancied being an FBI Crime Scene Investigator!
Ben naman, that’s what i’ll get for me and she can have the 350D hehehehe And when she’s learned everything about DSLRs, maybe I’ll buy her something even better than the 40D.
feng, buyo ka ha! hahahahaha
auee, be afraid LOL BE VERY AFRAID hahahaha
rhodora, uy CSI, once upon a time I wanted to be a private detective hahahahaha
hmm surely mom will think of the camera after all dotir has the eye ….
kung ako naman a beagle
hello
sha, ako rin, i want a beagle
Hi Barry. Nice attempt at spamming. Your URL has been deleted. Malas mo.
And she didn’t forget about “owning the world”! Ibang klase! Reminded me of the answers of one of my twins (when he was about 3 yrs old) when asked what he wanted to be when he grows up….
His answer? He wanted to be a king!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Naku naman Connie. Pasingit lang yung doggies and pad paper para di ka masyadong ma-shock sa DSLR!
Ipon na!!!!!!
Ayoko ng National Geographic lang. Gusto ko, kahit ano.
Ang cute ni Sam; at bakit nga naman, kung pwede ba mahingi na lahat, di ba?
Nice one, Sam!
Kelan ka bibigay, Connie?
I’m wanting a DSLR too, but there’s no one to ask from. how good of kids life today =)
bigay mo na yong #1 or #2, although my daughter was only there for a couple of weeks, I let her adopt an “2 week old askal”, ayaw padidien ng nanay. the happiness on my daughter’s face was so evident from bonding for 2 weeks, bringing the pup everywhere we go, hindi lang kami pinapaso sa SM Quiapo when they saw that there was a harmless pup inside our tote bag.
haha. ako i once dreamt of being a secret agent;)
Nung isang araw sabi namin kay CJ we’re going to the park playground, since she loves going down the slide.
Sagot ni CJ: “No park mall-oshaisha lang” Yes, “mall-oshaisha” is Mall of Asia.
I don’t want to know what she’s gonna ask me to buy her when she learns how to write.
Hi
Super aliw naman si Sam. This post made my day, ngiti ako nang ngiti every now and then.
Heehee. aliw.
Buti nalang wala pa kaming anak. Hehehe
Actually, “whole world” pwede… May nabibili rin sa National Bookstore nun… Inflatable globe! Mura lang, pwede pang gamiting beach ball!
O diba. At least makaka two out of five ka pa!
Dugtung-dugtong ba sila? Mukhang wala namang relasyon ano? At least, pwedeng i-decline yung iba. Mga anak ko pag humiling kabit-kabit eh. Yun bang tipong, “bili mo ko ng pick…. at ng kwerdas na D”Addario… at ng electric gutar…at ng amps… O di ba?
PS. Hingi sila ng hingi… buti sana kung ibinibili eh. Walang kadala-dala! HAHAHAHA
Ba’t kaya ang mga bata ngayon para ma motivate to study and do good things kelangan palagi may reward.
My son is in Grade 2 and every time he brings home a 90-100 score on his quiz/test paper, it will cost me 20 pesos each. And it does not include the big reward comes Christmas day.
Ako when I was his age, piso lang ang katapat.
Haay. If my daughter asked me for that, I’d melt for sure.
I agree with the pad paper for now though.
Jane, hindi na nga ako bumibili ng bagong rubber shoes para maka-ipon hahahahaha
O, Sam, iba na naman tono mo ha!
Nikita, tukso ka ha hahahahaha
Julie, malapit na Pasko. Pero iisipin ko pa ulit. Stressful eh hahahah
Lorena, she has three cats and one dog already. There was a time we thought she would be a vet because of her affinity with all these pets. She used to have hamsters even. And birds.
Patay ka, Jon hahahaha
Jean, bakit, ginawa mo rin yan sa nanay mo? hehehe
Okay yun, Gail ah! Pwede deflate pag not in use para less space to take up. hahahaha
Tito Rolly, alam mo I think that it’s a form of BULLYING that kids inflict on parents.
leo, we used to do that — the reward thing. now, no more. we do the reverse. bad grades = no privileges.
to all: be thankful to all the kids who always whispers to your ears “bil mo ko non, bil mo ko nyan”, kasi pag over 20 yrs old na hindi na cute pakinggan. be thankful for all the laundry that you have to pick up, all the dishes that you have to wash, the pets that you have to bury or flush down the toilet when they die, it teaches them another lesson in life.
based on my experience, let them choose the bigger things, like noong usong uso ang tetris, we were still in the Phils, everybody has one except my daughter, I keep telling her there will be something better after 2 months and just ask what do they prefer, playing at the park with other kids or playing alone, or telling them that if they have this “in” toy now, they will loose time to do their coloring books/doll house. finally at the age of 10, I lined up at FAO Schwartz to buy the japanese electronic egg toy Tamagotchi, enjoy your weekend.
Re #12. AnitoKid, I fished out your comment from the SPAM filter. Ngek.
Re #29. Lorena, speaking of Tamagotchi, there’s a new craze these days. A dinosaur in an egg. The egg is soaked in water and after a few days it cracks. The dinosaur that comes out gets bigger if left in the water.
You should have responded, “iha, nakalimutan mo ang dahtung, pambili ng ka-rekwesan moh”! Kakatuwa lang ang kuleet.
Connie, nalampasan ko na ang mga tamagotchi, that was 11 years ago when I bought that, ngayon, bigger things na like kayak and kayak gear ang binibili ko for her birthday or sometimes just the plain boring B of A check so she can buy what she wants. Aliw ako sa mga kids that plays with those gooeey looking toys that can be strecthed up to 6ft and comes down and returns to its original form like a lizard or a frog. naalala ko laruan ko noong araw ay gumamela na ginagayat namin ng aking playmate
nyaha!! I love that girl’s sense of humor.
I’m LOLing! Only Sam. Only Sam indeed!
Lorena, gumamela leaves to make soap bubbles?? LOL We did that too!
JMom, when she’s in a good mood, she’s funny. Otherwise, nakuuuuu grrrrr
Chateau, ah yes, you said it! Walang katulad. hahahaha
