Mo Williams started a third quarter rally to help the Cleveland Cavaliers win against the Boston Celtics 101-93 last Sunday.

The Cavs were trailing in the first three quarters but Mo gave spark to his team to make a 21-9 run to end the quarter. In the fourth quarter the Cavs' swarming defense took over and the Cavs didn’t look back as they defeated Boston in Game 1 at the Q.

Mo Williams scored 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting and did his first slam-dunk as a Cavalier. The rare dunk of Williams gave the sold out crowd more life and energy to cheer his team.

"(The dunk) gave us energy as a team, but then right after that, I hit a jumper and then three or four plays in a row after that, they called my number and I was productive", said Williams.

Lebron James, the back-to-back league MVP, tallied 35 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Lebron was 12-for-24 from the floor, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc.

Rajon Rondo on the other hand scored 27 points and dished out 12 assists, while Kevin Garnett added 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics.

I have been pigging out for the past few weeks. Whenever I get to eat a lot, I just tell myself that I will just get back to my diet the next day. But oh well, this promise just kept on being pushed day after day especially when my dad cooks his specialties.

And after countless promises of getting back into a strict diet, today, I finally made it happen! Haha!

I really don't think I can do the itlog-kamote-diet that Mark does, so he suggested that I just cut off my intake of rice, sweets, and fatty food; and load up on food rich in fiber. He also told me to just munch on fruits instead of junk food for snacks; and just have fresh fruit juices or water instead of sodas and artificially flavored drinks.

So here's what I got for today. First was oatmeal for breakfast. I would always ask my mom to buy the no-cook oats so that I can just add in hot water because I like eating my oats while it's hot. I sometimes add in fruits like mangoes or bananas, but I usually have it plain, without even a pinch of sugar (ugh! oh, I mean, yum!)

Next were noodles, papaya, and ripe mangoes for lunch. My mom prepares the fruits every morning before I go to work. And for the noodles, I always have instant cup noodles, water drained, and without adding in the flavors/seasonings.

And for dinner, a cob of sweet corn was what I had. :)

My mom gave me ice cream for dessert, but I resisted. Thank God I survived woohoo! I just feel so healthy haha!

I just hope I can stick to a strict diet and resist all temptations in the coming days haha! Wish me luck! :)

Lebron James, the reigning MVP, once again made a remarkable performance in the playoffs. The King showed his dominance in the game by notching his fifth career post-season triple-double with 37 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

In the game James had an astonishing stat sheet. Shooting 11-of-17 from the floor, 6-of-9 from beyond the arc, and had an almost perfect 9-of-10 shooting from the free throw line.

Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison helped James by adding a combined points of 43 points. Mo scored 19 points shooting 60 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc, while Jamison scored 24 points shooting 56 percent from the field and grabbed seven rebounds.

“Jamison was great, he was the X factor,” praised James. “It's hard to cover him. He goes around 3's and over 4's. I'm glad he’s on our side because I’ve been on the other side of him for years.”

On the other hand, Joakim Noah recorded the first 20-20 game in Bulls playoff history, finishing with 21 points and 20 boards. Derrick Rose scored 21 points on 9-of-20 shooting from the field.

The Cavs will have a home court advantage trying to finish the series in Game 5 at the Q.

It was a very hot Sunday afternoon and we still haven't had lunch so we just decided to eat out...outside the house! hahaha!

The family was all complete, Gia's boyfriend was also present, and my dad's friend also came over, so my dad again cooked a scrumptious lunch for us.

First on the menu was the pork barbecue. This one is actually my mom's recipe and I was the one who did the grilling. :) The green thing on the topmost portion of the picture is grilled tilapia rolled into banana leaf. :)

And here are the finished products..

We also had nilagang okra which is Gia's favorite!

My mom wanted chopseuy and pancit canton while I wanted beef broccoli. And my dad, being the generous dad that he is, wanted to give everything that we want, so he came up with chopseuy, pancit canton, and beef broccoli all in one dish. And it came out really delicious!

My dad also cooked Jaoey's all-time-favorite lechon kawali.

We all enjoyed our lunch out hehe..well nothing really compares to a scrumptious lunch shared with the whole family. And is there any better way to quench away the heat than to have a scoop of ice cream for dessert?

Well I guess I must have felt too much heat that I got not just one, but 3 scoops! *drools*

It's undeniable that I do love Hello Kitty very much. I find it very overwhelming how other people get amazed whenever they see my collection. Some would find it cute, and still some, especially the boys, would find it weird haha!

I usually buy my kitties, but it gives me some sort of happiness whenever I receive some kitty gifts, especially from someone who doesn't even have the slightest idea why I so love this cute little feline very much haha!

Just like last Sunday, before having our lunch, my dad went to some auto supplies shop and bought some car stickers. I was surprised when he handed me this:

Awww..how sweet! :D

He also gave me these stickers as birthday gifts about a year ago. :) Thanks daddy! :D

More kitties HERE :)

After hearing mass, we headed to the Sta. Lucia East mall.

We had my dad's and my brother's eyeglasses checked and made about a week ago and we were scheduled to claim it today.

I also got to buy an early birthday gift for Jaoey since he will be turning 8 a few weeks from now.

We were done with claiming the glasses and buying the birthday gift just in time for lunch. After a few minutes of contemplating on where to have lunch, we all agreed to have it at Shakey's.

Shakey's has been one of our family's favorite restaurants. I can still vividly recall how excited I and my siblings get every time my dad is on his 2pm-10pm shift. After his work, he would always bring us to Shakey's, which was just half a minute drive from our house, to have our late night snack.

Here are a few photos of us while waiting for our orders. I only had my camera phone at hand so just bear with me for the not-so-good photos.. ;)

Since we all wanted to get a taste of our all-time favorites at Shakey's, we decided to have one order each of the Shakey's Super Platter. :)

Each platter consists of 2 slices of Hawaiian Pizza, Caesar Salad, Spaghetti, Chick 'n Chips, a slice of Raisin Oatmeal brownie..

and a choice of Chicken and Corn Soup..

or Creamy Mushroom Soup.

And just like the old times, Shakey's still has never failed to satisfy our palates. :)
