Yummy Left-overs...

One of the advantage of having a party in the house is that the left-over food will be extended to some. Some of the visitors has take home food because we anticipated of at least 80 to 100 guests so we cooked a lot and the guests that came are only 60 to 80 pax. And for that, they had baon from the party aside from the lootbags and the prizes that we gave.

Of course, aside from the visitors, kami ang pinakamaraming nauwing food! And today (sunday), it is our lunch... Here it is:

Patatim

The patatim that MIL cooked is so dami because hubby requested it for their pulutan at the drinking session here in our apartment after the party. And we also also had it in our lunch. Buong-buo pa!

Blue Marlin Kilawin

When MIL asked me what i want, i told them i want the kilawin. Kilawin is a raw fish cooked in vinegar and if you love Japanese Food (sushis) definitely you'll love Kilawin and FIL cook the best Kilawin. It's his specialty that everyone in their family and friends always request kilawin either in Blue Marlin or Tanigue.

 
Rice

No, its not leftover. hehe Just showing to complete the yummy lunch.

 
Coke

If you're eating raw food, better to have Coke because it helps to digest the food. See hubby? Ang daming nakain nyan. Sarap ng food eh!


Fruit Salad

This is the dessert i made for the party. Kasi naman hindi ako marunong magluto kaya eto na lang! In fairness masarap sya and everyone loved it. Almost all of them requested to take home of the fruit salad, buti na lang sobrang dami kong ginawa.

 
Hay sarap...

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2011!


Happy St Patricks Day Comments For Hi5
credits here.


Dedicated to the Irish & Irish at Heart
all around the World



St. Patrick's Day is celebrated by the Irish and Irish at Heart in big cities and small towns alike with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Its a time for fun. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!


As a tradition, our company will celebrate St. Patrick's day tomorrow and there will be free food and loots. We are also advised to wear green or else you'll be pinched during your work! hehe..


Go Green!

Temptation of Wife

pic stolen here.

Do you know this show in GMA-7 called temptation of wife?

Temptation of wife is a koreanovela drama and was translated in Tagalog here in the Philippines.


Synopsis of the story:

A serious accident left Marcel believing that his wife, Angeline, drowned and died. However, Angeline survived the accident only to return to find that her husband has another woman and a child.

One night Angeline got drunk and Marcel took this opportunity to take advantage of her. Angeline and Marcel got married but their marriage is not a very blissful marriage. Angeline's best friend, Haidee, openly flirts with Marcel in front of Angeline. Marcel decided that he did not want to remain married to Angeline and tried to kill her. Angeline was presumed to have drown and died. Marcel thought he was successful in killing Angeline and moved on with Haidee. Months later, Angeline is back for revenge but she presumes the identity of another woman, Chantal, who had killed herself. How will Marcel react to a girl who looks exactly like his presumed dead wife, Angeline? Will he be tempted by Chantal


And did you know that i became instant fan of this show? Yes I did! Everytime i rode the bus going home (around 4 to 5pm), the tv on the bus is always tuned-in to Channel 7 and with my 1hr ride to bus, i was able to know the story of this show.. hehe... Sa house naman hindi din ako makapanood because our tv is on disney or any cartoons channel when tami is watching or in discovery/history/hbo channel when hubby is watching.. Thats why im not updated with the local shows here.. Sa office lang ako nakakasagap ng mga tsismis regarding shows sa tv...

And now i am so sad because hindi ako nakakapanood ng temptation of wife sa bus because i still have my remaining days in our 2 weeks training in work, i always came home late. :(

Ano na kaya nangyari? Hay.... For the love of job! Choz! hehe

Bad News.

BAD NEWS!

News all over appear because of what happens in Japan.

photo credits here.

Japan experienced an intense 8.9 magnitude earthquake and Tsunami after.

It was really scary and the news were informing all that it will also hit Hawaii and some 19 countries including Philippines. We have relatives in Japan and they told us that it really is scary, para ka daw sumakay ng Anchor's away sa EK, Thank God they're all safe in Tokyo.

One of my cousin in US was in Hawaii now because of her work. Hoping that she's safe with her co-workers. (Kit, update us or tweet us of your situation there).

Let's all pray that tsunami will not hit us big time and lets also pray for the safety of all people.

Disadvantage of Debit Card :(

I have to share my experience to you guys for you to be aware sometimes...


We have account to three banks namely BPI, BDO and Sterling Bank.


Banco De Oro

We have 2 joint accounts here, Peso and Dollar Account. Since we opened this account, i never asked for an ATM card because we dont want to use this funds because we treat this as part our investments. But last week, i requested an ATM for our Peso account because if we transferred to our new house before the year ends, SM Southmall will be far from our house so the need for the ATM came. I got my card last week.


BPI

Both hubby and I had BPI account for our payroll and Saveup. Aside from payroll purposes, we use this as our individual savings that goes to Save Up account.


Sterling Bank

I opened this account two years ago. Earnings from my sideline or raket and others goes here.


When doing grocery and other money matters, we use our Debit card to pay. My not-so-good experience happened last november. We do our grocery routine everyday 2nd week of the month. Last 2nd week of November, we purchase our groceries in SM Center and that time, i used my Sterling Bank Debit Card. What i like about Sterling Bank is they send Statement of Account every month to your house so you will be aware of the in-and-out of your money.

December came. When i received my SOA, i noticed that the amount of our purchase debited twice. Imagine if i dont receive statement of account hindi ko malalaman yun, what if it happens also with our BDO or BPI account without noticing it?

Grabe, i coordinated with SM, Sterling Bank and i even fill-up Bancnet's form just to refund the amount they get from our account. And the sad news is, its already March and until now, wala pa rin nababalik sa account namin. I am really dissapointed with it.

Mommies out there who uses debit card, make sure to check your account or SOA para sure na tama ang nadedebit sa account nyo..



KIKAY Kit - Part 1

Do you have Kikay Kit? I saw some kikay kit on the net and i want to do my own Kikay Kit post.. hehe. Actually i dont have much on my kikay kit because im not a make-up person. Im just a sucker for lip balms.. Let me share what i have:

My kikay kit pouch.. Its free from Celeteque..


This is what my pouch contains...


Pocket mirror - a gift from my cousin last Christmas..


Natural Rice Loose Face Powder which i ordered at Beauty Bar online. Very good when patted on face. Looks natural and no more oily face for long hours...


Mary Kay Lip Balm with Tint and SPF 15 Sunscreen protection

If i have to wear tint on my lips, then this is what im using. Still a lip balm but with tint. I love this Mary Kay lip balm, i also love the color, it looks natural and it also has sunscreen protection.


Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Watermelon Shade..


Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm

Dati sa US lang nabibili to, ngaun meron na sa Phils... love it!


Ilog Maria Lip Balm

This is my favorite of all except the packaging.. I just use it when im home, when sleeping and during my ordinary days...


Having lip balm is a must because it protects our lips and it makes our lips soft. Hubby always ask me kung anong ginagamit ko sa lips ko kasi ang lambot daw... See? The benefit of using lip balm. hehe

10 Beauty Points for me!

What is the best lip balm for you? By the way, Will do Cosmo's What's in my Bag? version later..

Chef Cindy is Cooking!

I posted that yesterday, the Yaya and my daughter join my inlaws in Batangas and we are the only one left in our home and as a housewife, it is my obligation to cook and I know for some it is really not a big deal as it is really one simple thing. But for someone like me who doesn’t even know how to tell if the meat is cook already or not, it is really a major accomplishment :)

If you know me, you know that i dont know how to cook. I grow this old without staying in the kitchen to cook... Now im still on the process of learning how to cook. Everyone was really surprised when they see my posts in FB that im going to cook for us.. Nakakatawa ang mga comment (yeah, call me pathetic but thats how it is) Tami even went to the kitchen to check if I was really cooking since she always associates cooking with her yaya who does all the cooking for us. I envy those mommies who knows how to cook delicious food. My bad!

Ok enough of this. Now is the time to show what i cooked yesterday.. None other than Sinigang.. hehe


One of the ingredients: Kangkong

And the chef started to cook.


The last ingredient: Sinigang Mix

Verdict: Perfect! hehe..

Sana ganito lang kadali magluto no? Sana lahat ng luto may instant mix na para hindi na mahirapan ang mga katulad kong hindi marunong magluto..

Mommies out there, do you know how to cook?

Holy Smoke E-cigarette

Just wanna share this..

My brother wanted to stop smoking and he learned of the e-cigarettes few months ago. He went to Southmall but found nothing. Meron pala d2 sa SM Center.. hehe


According to some sites:

Never heard of vaping? It’s the preferred term for using an electronic cigarette, a relatively recent invention that produces a steam-like nicotine vapor. Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, may or may not be a healthful alternative to regular “analog” cigarettes — few studies on them exist. Nevertheless, they’re becoming the entertainment industry’s new habit.


The package comes with this. He bought this for P1,000 pesos only. P600 for the cigarette pack and P400 for the vapor liquid.

The pack comes with 6 filters..

The e-stick.. It is battery operated.

The vapor liquid.

According to my brother, its really like the real cigarette. I asked him some questions and i learned that once the smoke has gone when you puff the stick, you just have to put 2 to 3 drops of the vapor to the filter and voila may usok na ulit..

Hubby and I tried it and we were amazed of this invention. I asked him if he want it also and he said yes so he can stop smoking too. We just dont know if theres any negative effect when you use this..

What about you? Do you know anything about this e-cigar?

Do you like Espadrilles?

Interested? You can check and purchase here.

Cousin is coming home!!!

My aunt told us that my cousin BJ will be coming home this coming Saturday (Feb. 19) and decided to stay here for good. He decided to come back to school for some reason. He stayed in the US for almost 5 years and we were shocked with the news that he's coming back.


My dear cousins. BJ was the one wearing green.

Cuz, why the sudden change of mind?

I know you miss your lifestyle here and its good that you're coming back! hehe. You will also miss your life there in the US but i know that you will be happier here. Ngaun madadagdagan na naman kami ng kasama sa galaan... San tayo pagdating mo d2?

Sakto ang uwi mo, binili ka ni Tta Baby ng Montero na sasakyan...haha

I copied some of your pics to remind you that you've been there for 5 years, baka nman nabibigla ka lang sa decision mo? hehe






At eto pa ang mami-miss mo:

Giant Lobsters

Giant Western Sausage

Turkey legs

Chimichangga from El Torito..


Cuz, desidido ka na ba talaga? Anyway, im still excited to see you. 

I remember when i got married to hubby, my aunt told me to go to US and stay there. I was hesitant to tell hubby that because he dont want me to leave. He even told me na "Pag umalis ka, wala ka nang babalikan d2"... Sad but true..

Years after, he prove to me that i will be happier here with him. Now i realized that its still good to be here with my family. Look at my cousin BJ, he went and stayed in the US for almost 5 years, now he's coming back for good. He made me realize na mas masarap pa rin d2 sa pinas...

WELCOME HOME BJ!!!

What's your Love status?

Our company employee engagement team (EET) never runs out of ideas everytime there is a special occassion or an event. They make sure that employees will enjoy the occassion even if they're in the office. Yesterday we received an email for today's pre-valentine event titled "What's your love status?". Employees will wear clothes according to the color that corresponds to their love status. See image below.

The image from our email..

With my love status, my officemates knew what color im going to wear for today's event. It's not surprise to them anymore because they knew how happy i am with my hubby. Yes, i chose color white simply because "Im happily married".



Of course, there's also something to munch while working and for this year we have Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. (Dba krispy kreme din last year? Tama ba? hehe)


Anyway....

Advance Happy Valentines to all and since Valentines is on Monday, Hubby and I will celebrate na tomorrow because its our restday and we plan of watching Love and other drugs.

Guess who?

When i went home, i told hubby that his friend commented on our photo in facebook and that he wants to check it and answer the post.

Dinner and kwentuhan.

After our dinner, he checked his account and look for my page, after few minutes he told me that he can't see it. We were checking his account and found out that im not on the list of his friends. Now, i was wondering who the suspect is? I asked my brother to check his account and he said that i was on his list. Checked again his account and found out also that my brother was deleted also in hubby's account.

Our suspect? My 4 year old daughter. Hubby checked again his account and saw that some of his friends was also deleted on his list. Tsk. Tsk.  Pati mga bata nalululong na sa facebook.



I added hubby again...

House tripping...

Yesterday (Sunday) was our house tripping. Just so excited thinking that we will be moving on our own house this year.. Yipee! The broker told me that the construction of our house will be in 4 months. But since my daughter is attending school, i told them na hindi nman kami nagmamadali but im hoping that we can have our first christmas there. I will upload some photos once they started the construction.

After going, we went to SM center, do some grocery shopping and ate at Joey Pepperoni. Kahit nkakasawa na cge lang, mapagbigyan lang ang gusto nila na pizza...


Hubby and daughter..

Kulitan..

Cge pa...


Then our orders arrived..

Eat. Eat. Eat.

Went home after.

Qwertymon as they say...

Hubby has a facebook account, but did you know that aside from him, my daughter also uses his account? Yes, she knows how to open hubbys account, she looks at updates, photos and play all day long while watching Disney channel. So wag na kayong magugulat if during the day he's online but it was not him. When hubby decided to open his account because he needs to send message to his tropa, hubby was so shocked because of the number of notifications in his fb account. He checked it and found out that Tami made a lot of comments to some of his friends wall including mine.

Here are some of tamis comments using my hubbys account:










This is just some of her comments on my wall. Even on the wall of hubby's batch page, nag-comment din sya dun kaya imagine the notifications na na-receive nya dun sa page ng Perps batch '98 (hubby's high school batch)... O dba? panalo sa comment si Tami! My officemate called Tami as Qwertymon, parang Jejemon lang hehe, hindi maintindihan ang sinasabi...

Pero guys, my daughter Tami is just 4 yrs old kaya intindihin na lang ang bata.. She's still on the process of exploring things, nagkataon lang na "in" ang facebook kaya yun ang ine-explore nya.. hehe

First Day of 2011

Ang ganda nman ng numbers ngaun, 1.1.11 (Jan. 1, 2011).

Just woke up at 6.30am. Buti n lang natulog na ko ng 1am dahil natapos ang party d2 sa bahay with hubby's friends ng 5.30am. As i type this post, kakatapos ko lang maglinis ng bahay at ako p lang ang gising d2...



First thing to do is to write on my planner. List the things i need to do in the coming days, my plan and our goal for 2011 kasi last December Hubby and i talked seriously of our plans for the next few months or years and this time we were following what we have planned...

To name a few:

1st Plan: We will travel to Singapore and bring Tami to Universal Studios.. yipee!!! (this travel targets this year 2011...  *sana matuloy* Aba! hindi rin biro ang mag-travel with your family ha, this will cost you a lot.. para na kong nagpaaral ng trimester or 1 year sa Lasalle nyan sa laki ng gastos...

2nd Plan: We will save more so we can buy our own house (this plan targets 2012 or 2013 depends sa presyo ng house). Even if his parents will give us house or pamanahan kami, we still want to buy house from our own money kasi investment din nman yun...

3rd Plan: To have our second baby. Kinukulit na kasi ako ni badz to have another child, tumatanda na daw kasi sya and malaki na rin nman daw si Tami, so my plan will be going to my OB-gyne for my vitamins and medicines to get pregnant. Yes po, mahirap akong magbuntis kasi Polycystic ovary daw po ako kaya need ko daw uminom ng ovulatory meds..

4th Plan: Hubby plans of applying in Project Officer position in his company (Project officer in their company is equivalent to Supervisor in our company). Eto ang plano na sana matupad, kasi nman sa Team Leader position nga sumasakit na ulo nya in handling his agents, pano pa kaya kung PO na sya handling 1 or more teams.. Lets just cross our fingers. Sabi ko nga ok lang na wag na syang mag-PO kasi malaki na nman ang sahod nya, bka pag naging PO sya, mas matagal pa ang time nya sa office kesa d2 sa bahay.. hay bahala sya gusto nya yun eh...

O sya cge na at magluluto pa ko.. *Echos!* Mamaya mag-blog ulit ako ng celebration nmen ng new year's eve...

Happy New Year ulit!!!

Clocks strikes at 12!!!

The Clocks strikes at 12!!!

But wait.....


Before 2010 officially ends..

I want to say THANK YOU to:

LORD..... because he showered us lots of blessings this 2010. Sa sobrang apaw sana po di kayo magsawang magbigay pa.

HUBBY.... because he did his obligations to stand, provide and protect his own family... Dahil since before hindi sya umasa at humingi sa parents nya para lang masabi na kaya nya kaming buhayin kaya nga super proud ako sa kanya kasi hindi sya tulad ng iba na umaasa sa parents nila... I love you Bi and so lucky to have you...

MY INLAWS..... because they respect our decisions. In fairness, wala ako masabi sa inlaws ko, never silang nakielam sa decision nmen.. Dati i was afraid to live with them kasi ang alam ko mahirap makisama sa mga byenan but they proved me wrong... And also, they love our daughter so much... Sana lang wag ibigay lahat ng gusto ng apo kasi nagiging brat eh...

MY FAMILY..... because they support us in everything. Since we have a close family ties, we are very open with them at nkakatuwa lang kasi kahit may kulang man sa family, hindi yun dahilan para hindi magsama-sama..

FRIENDS & OFFICEMATES.... because even if we were miles away, communication is still intact. For my officemates who are also my travel buddy, thank you for being there for me... More years for us!!!


And now, were going to look forward for 2011. I know lahat tyo merong resolution and i only have one resolution for 2011. "MAGTIPID"

- because I have Tami na kailangang pag-ipunan ang future studies.
- because in 2 or 3 yrs, we're getting our own house from our own money.. fruits of labor it is!!!
- because im planning of putting up a business and resign from work *wink*
- BABY.. as hubby's wish...

That's all for now, magulo na d2 at nagpuputukan na... 3 more minutes and its 2011!!!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
