The moon is at her full, and riding high,  Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover in the summer sky  Are all asleep to-night. - William C. Bryant A very peculiar view of the moon in the sky last night I went home a little late yesterday. I was a few steps away from our gate when I noticed the moon's peculiar face.

After the church service, my daughters and I were unanimous in our suggestion to have a taste of home for lunch (no, no, no, we didn't mean our own home! although I did prepare something for lunch at home!).  Billy, my husband, without any violent reaction, as if he was expecting this, silently drove to Lot 16B Blk 6 Omega St., West Fairview, Quezon City. That's the only perfect place we know where we could enjoy home cooking at its best---  Ponciana's Kitchen, our home not very far away from our very own home!  If you live nearby and would be interested to try this place, here's a map of the vicinity. Located along the road, you will be welcomed by this green foliage, giving it a cool ambiance. Oh, come on in! Afterall, we came here to eat! We place our orders at the counter. Here are what they usually have... a para...
