Graduation over!

2011-06-24T13:58:00.000-07:00

My culinary graduation was held last June 22,2011 and that was a blast. My mom and stepdad and of course my baby girl Alyssa was with me on this joyous occasion . My friends and classmates who were on their OJT came over to greet me and be with me too during this event in my life.

I also got 2 awards which was the Student leadership award and the service recognition award and I'm so happy to have graduated. Hopefully I can proceed to the diploma one.

Graduation!

2011-06-14T06:12:00.000-07:00

June 22 is the big day. You may ask me why. Ok I'm asking why? Well it is the day of my graduation for the completion of my 1 year course in culinary arts. Yipeeee I am done. My dad won't be attending because he said he has an important meeting to attend to. That's ok too since my mom and stepdad will be there with me as well as my friend Gail and my cousin Dominic. I am really excited to graduate and then I will be starting work soon too so I'm really happy. Will have graduation portrait taken soon so will be posting it in the coming days.

Baby was fussing today while I was out my mom told me. I don't know but somehow when I go out she fusses a lot. Hmmm maybe she wanted to go with me? What do you think?

CSI fever!

2011-06-10T22:41:00.000-07:00

I love CSI show, really really love it. I watch all of it from Las Vegas to Miami to New York. I love all the characters and my all time favorite CSI show is the Las Vegas one. Laurence Fishburne does an awesome job at it that's why it saddens me to know that he is leaving the show. It really won't be the same without him. I loved Grissom the most because he was weird in a genius kinda way but Dr. Raymond is different he brings class and intensity to the show and I would really miss that.

Together Forever!

2011-06-06T07:27:00.000-07:00

I was browsing through some news here on the web and found one that caught my attention. In my past blogs I wrote about becoming a new mommy. I always thought that when one gets pregnant she becomes connected to her son or daughter in more ways than one. I always used to believe that mother's know best and that is one of the reasons why while I was growing up I rarely go out with friends or anyone without consulting my mom because I believe that if she says no to me then she was just looking out for me you know like preventing me from being in any accidents or bad situations, mother's instinct as we call it and I don't mean to say that this connection only exist between mother and daughter because it does exist between siblings too.

I was so touched when I read about the article between twin brothers who were both priests. People said in the article that they were just simple people who lived simple lives and that they often did everything together. They give a different meaning to the word doing it together and if you want to know what I meant then read the article yourselves. Life is a wonder isn't it?

Angel VS. Devil

2011-06-05T05:31:00.000-07:00

This blog is still about dreams. I don't know why but while I was pregnant with Baby Alyssa I kept having this weird dreams, the first one being the Tree of Life and now it's all about Angel versus Devil kind.

I dreamed of my guardian angel who happens to be the Prince of the Heavenly Hosts. Yes you got that right he is none other than St. Michael the archangel. I never really thought that he could be my guardian angel. I can't remember all the happenings in the dream but I'm gonna write the things that I do remember.

I saw St. Michael's face in my dream he was very handsome and tall and although I can't stop looking at him he doesn't have this lust after me kind of handsomeness to it. I can't explain it well but I found that I was just so mesmerized by him and yet wasn't lusting after him. And yes he was that handsome. Well on with the story, I remember he said "Your baby is important" I really don't know what he meant when he said that but I just took it as it was. I saw his mortal and angel form and boy he was so big and tall and shiny or should I say glowing.

The next scene was Michael in my family. He seemed to be a member of it and yet it wasn't him. I felt something different. He was very nice and good and saint like even but I just felt something amiss. Then I saw another man this time he wasn't handsome but he was big and strong yet he was gentle and he told me he was Michael. I was really confused since I saw the Michael I talked to within my family circle. He was insistent yet not forceful. He told me that the one with my family is not who he says he is. He then told me something but I don't remember exactly but the gist of it was that false prophet will be sent or will present himself. He told me to trust my instinct and my faith in the Father.

And so the next scene was me with the Michael in my family who was very charismatic and nice that everyone was eating right out of his hands and in this dream my baby already existed I mean she was already born and this being kept or wants to be very close with my daughter. I did pray to the Father for guidance on what I should do? Who should I believe, the one who looks like him in all ways or the other one who looked like a hoodlum?

I pondered and remembered myself praying and then the next scene was me piercing Michael in the heart with a long sword. As I did this I felt relieved yet afraid but then Michael as an Angel appeared again full battle gear. He didn't say anything to me but he looked at me and smiled and I felt that I had his approval and then I woke up with my baby moving in my tummy.

I don't know what to make of this dream but I know I will eventually know.

Tree of life!

2011-05-25T23:56:00.000-07:00

I was in a beautiful garden with hundreds of big trees where light was shining out of their trunks, the flowers were very colorful and big and the butterflies flitting to and fro hovering over the pretty flowers. The ambiance was just so peaceful and light that you would want to stay there. There were people there, couples actually facing each tree waiting.... for what?

Then I found myself standing also in front of a big tree where light was shining from it.Then it opened and there came out a beautiful baby girl with the name Alyssa Joy and she was my baby. Yes those couples were waiting for their babies to come out. I don't know how to explain it but the baby was mine, it came from me but somehow it came out of a tree.

That was just one of the dreams I have while I was pregnant with my baby who I named Alyssa Joy because I felt and believe that that was the name she wanted. I searched on the net on what Alyssa means and found out it meant "of noble birth". Isn't that something? I don't know how to interpret dreams but most of the time my dreams have significance in my life as I live day by day.

First Picture!

2011-05-19T20:13:00.000-07:00

I was six months pregnant when I learned the sex or gender of my baby. Even earlier than that I wanted to know what my baby would be.I prayed for a girl but if I had a boy I would still love him. Lucky for me God was listening and gave me a baby girl. I went and asked my dad for the money for the ultrasound and he gave it to me so off I went to the diagnostic building near my boarding house. My friends were very excited even more than me which was really funny.

It was really something else to see your baby on screen with the head and arms and hands and feet plus hear the heartbeat. Almost made me cry and realize that whoa there is a tiny human in my tummy growing and that we are link together, she can eat what I eat and drink and feel my emotions too. I made it a point then to be always happy and not worry about stuff because I already heard that emotions can have a very big impact on how your baby is gonna turn out when she comes out.

I also had lots of supports from my parents and my sister melody. Since this is my first baby all I have are questions whether this or that is normal and thanks to my sister who already went through pregnancy and motherhood she answers all my questions and tells me what to ask my OB. I really enjoyed being pregnant. Nobody really tells you not to eat and you all know that eating is one of my passions. The special attention also that my friends and family gave me added to that peace of mind I had while I went through the ordeal of pregnancy.

Standing up for 3 hours,walking to and fro and a tad of running was my daily regime for about 8 months until I finished my 1 year culinary course at PSCA ( Philippine School of Culinary Arts) here in Cebu. My friends always makes me sit down or assume some heavy work plus they feed me constantly so I was in food heaven hahahaahh.

Well back to my baby's picture. While the lady was doing the ultrasound the butt was the first thing I saw hahahah it was a very cute butt. She was in footling breach position but I was told not to worry because she is still gonna move into position as it was still early. She was ultrasound shy, she keeps covering her face with her hands but we did get a semi clear picture and she was smiling. When it came for her biometrics the doctor was a guy and so he teasingly said that the baby was shy because her legs where crossed so he wasn't able to get a good view of the genitals. At first he said that it was 88% girl but eventually he said that it was really a girl and I was like so happy.

35 weeks and 6 days later my baby was born in a normal delivery and that is another story.

2 Lines!

2011-05-17T04:03:00.000-07:00

It was the eve of August 27, 2010 at my rented boarding house that 2 Lines made me the happiest woman alive. Yes, you heard me right 2 lines. Who knew right that lines are wonderful things.

Well the story began last August 6, 2010, it was our culinary school's acquaintance party that the big event happened. SEX yes I had sex with my ex boyfriend and weeks after that incident the two lines appeared on the pregnancy test that I took. I didn't expect this at this time of my life but it is a blessing for me because the way I see it my biological clock has been ticking. When I peed on those PT and saw the two line the words that came out where " Oh my God, Oh my God" and I repeated that quite a lot while walking to and fro across my room. I was actually panicking but then I talked to myself and said " Wait. Calm down and sit down" I did sit and then I smiled. Why? Well because I'm gonna have a baby. I love kids so I want to have at least 1 child. I didn't go through the worry crying stage that other unwed mother's do during that time.

I went to the OB myself and had myself checked out. I was told to get some bloodworks and then a urine test to see if there is sugar present since I told her that I have diabetes history in the family. All my test came out normal thank God. She also suggested that I have an ultrasound to know if the pregnancy is in the uterus and not in the tube. Well I went and did that but was fearful because I was pregnant at 6 weeks but there is no baby there so I was told to come back 2 weeks after for fetal viability because the doctor said it could be a blighted ovum. I prayed and prayed that there was a baby and the next time I went I saw my baby for the first time with the heartbeat. It was an awesome feeling. I couldn't explain it.

Now my only problem is how to tell my mom. She wasn't here because at that time my grandfather was hospitalized and she had to be there so it took me about 2 weeks to tell her but i did tell my sister Melody all about my pregnancy. She was disappointed in me at first but I didn't take that against her because that was a normal reaction to have knowing how we were raised as good Catholics and I sort of fell from the tree hahaha. My sister has been supporting me all through out my pregnancy. Anyhow when I told my mom there was a lot of drama involved since there was a lot of crying coz now her baby is having a baby. So there that was the story how those 2 lines affected our lives.

It's been ages!

2011-02-20T03:29:00.000-08:00

Wow! I can't believe it's been ages since I have written in my blog. In just a few months and it will be a year. It's very very bad for me. Well I hope to change all that and start writing again. I now have a lot to write about since I started studying culinary arts. It's been 9 months since I started to attend and I'm really loving it. I got good grades and I am not tooting my own horn in this lol. I met a lot of new and interesting people who are my friends now. Plus I have additional news too I'm about to become a mommy. Yipeeee! It's very exciting and frightening at the same time. Half the time I don't know what to do or if what I'm feeling is all natural. I guess it all comes out or pre motherhood jitters. I do look forward to meeting my baby soon. I really wish and pray to God that she will be healthy and strong and that I will be able to deal with everything even though I'm going through this as a single mom. Well that's all for today folks. I post new ones in the coming weekend when I can get a hold of a computer.

First School Week!

2010-06-19T03:45:00.000-07:00

I started my classes last Monday and boy that was interesting. I met my first instructor and he is Chef Hicham a Moroccan decent. He is very strict with attendance but I feel that I will learn a lot from him. He taught the subject The professional Chef . We talked about the different kinds of positions in the kitchen and wow my tongue was truly exercised since all the terms were in french. I like it though because I always dreamed of learning the language. I've been sleeping well in my rented room but I still need to make it more livable. It's hard to be apart from my family but I really want to study culinary so I have to be vigilant in my studies to come. I won't be seeing Chef Hicham for the next couple of weeks until I start my basic culinary or when I start the cooking classes. I look forward to getting my knives with my name carved in it, ohhh it really is very exciting and learning of course the function of each one plus I'm really excited to learn how to make decors out of vegetables. I may have to buy vegetables to practice on but that's getting ahead of myself. I didn't bring any camera with me so I don't have pics of my new school yet. I will keep posting about my progress so watch out for them.

Officially enrolled at the Culinary School!

2010-04-28T20:36:00.000-07:00

Finally after a long time of waiting for my TOR to be released I got it yesterday but before that there was still a little bit of a mishap. Ok here goes.. When I went there to pick it up as scheduled last april 19 I got there and found out that I still have to pay additional fees for it to be released and guess what? I didn't bring any money with me except for fares and stuff. I was really pissed because it was so hot and I had to go all the way back to minglanilla where it takes me 2 jeepney ride and takes about an hour or so. When I got home I didn't have extra money at all to pay for the TOR hahahahah just my luck so I asked my father to send me some and he couldn't til next week and that was yesterday so finally I got it now and then went to the culinary school and passed everything. Now I have to attend the orientation which is on the 11th of June and the official classes starts on the 14th so now all I have to do is find a room to rent near my school so everything will be set. My cousin will be going with me on this hunt. At least I won't be the only one baking under the extreme heat of the sun whoopeee heheheheh. Well that's it for now folks check out again later for updates. Tata.

TOR Hassle!!!!!

2010-03-22T10:41:00.000-07:00

I didn't expect getting a copy of ones TOR a big hassle. Hmm maybe because my being an undergraduate is the reason but anyhow its been 3 weeks and now I just found out I won't be able to get it til next month !!!!!! GRRRRRRR. Let me tell you the story. When I graduated highschool I wanted to be a computer expert so I studied in the school nearest me but then I changed my mind and decided to become a teacher and so I went to another school where my mom studied. But I din't finish blah blah blah and blah. So here I am now deciding to take up culinary as I mentioned in my earlier post. Well they needed a copy of my school records and so I went to the latest school I went to. When i got there we argued because I told them that I don't need a transfer credential for my TOR but they insist that since I'm enrolling in another school that that's what I need and I keep thinking I am not enrolling in an academic school its a culinary school for Gods sake but I got tired of arguing and said ok only to find out that my first school didnt forward my original record when it was requested so I had to go there and request it so I can hand carry it back to the other school and guess how long it took 1 week. Imagine that 1 week to just type and have the head sign it. And so like a good girl I just let it pass and all that So when I finally had it , I went back to the other school to handcarry the records and then I found out it will be a month still. I almost passed out well I really didn't but it adds drama don't you think ? heheheheh. Well folks I guess I'll just have to wait it out like a good girl.This really SUCKS!!!!

Culinary School!

2010-03-12T22:38:00.000-08:00

From my christmas post I mentioned about me and my estranged dad talking again. I liked it because at last i can rest my dragons. I often asked God for help about that and I told Him that if it was time for me to talk to my dad again then He will let it happen and I believe that He has.

I've seen him a couple of times already and he asked me what I wanted to do and I told him that I wanted to study culinary. I found a news paper clipping and showed it to him but he said that he knows someone who was teaching at a culinary school and that school happen to be called Phililppine School of Culinary Arts. And boy is that school expensive. In told my dad that it was too expensive but he said he will take care of it and so I just jumped at the opportunity and I really hope I get in. Right now I am working on the stuff or documents that the school requires and its taking a while. I hope I can accomplish them soon, get in and be called "Chef Chay". Heheheheh that has a nice ring to it don't you think?

New Year. New image

2010-03-06T09:27:00.000-08:00

I don't know if people can really tell but I have heard talks and comments that I look good. I'm not trying to be conceited or something but I admit I love hearing that. I have lost weight and I surely hope it is showing up...... It is big time. Just yesterday I went back to my old work place and I was basking in their nice comments( I hope they were not just patronizing me) but anyhow almost everyone I saw said I really look sexier. I've looked at pics of myself and I compared them and I myself can feel that my body has changed. Will be posting pics of before and after so you folks and be the judge. By the way I used to weigh 198 lbs and now I weigh 171 lbs. hurray me. I'm good ,I'm good... oh yeah oh yeah (doing the running man) Kah! Kah! and stopping.

Christmas 2009

2010-01-17T08:46:00.000-08:00

As you all folks know I was out of circulation for a while because I was working almost non-stop but I am back now. I recently resigned from that job and I am spending time with my mom at the moment.I had some very personal reasons why I stopped and I'm not gonna get into that as of now. Right now I want to talk Christmas 2009 hence the title....hmmmm Oh I'm sure you guys noticed it.

It is always wonderful to spend Christmas with the people you love. I thought that we wouldn't be able to celebrate it with much food but God always provided us with the food to celebrate. He sent us angels in the person of our friends from Germany. Thank you guys so much for everything .And do you know what more I saw my dad whom I haven't seen or talk to for more than 10 years. Can you believe that? Is this a start of a reconciliation? maybe, I am hoping it would be so I can really get on with my life. I believe it is high time to let the dragons rest.

The food was wonderful so I really don't have much pics taken because I was busy eating, eating and more eating. Mom prepared everything since I was still working at that time.The food were delish and that's all I could say about that heheheheh. Well folks that was my Christmas how did you spend yours?

Dropping by!

2009-11-20T03:15:00.000-08:00

Hello. lo .lo. lo.... Hello . lo .lo .lo... Hmmm it must have really been ages since I've been here imagine that? There is an echo here already. I know I have been away because of my work. It took a lot of my time plus I don't have ready access to the net but anyhow I just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive and kicking. One of these days I will be back in the blogging world. I hope my friends won't forget about me. Take care all and see you soon.

What's up with me?

2009-07-06T07:11:00.000-07:00

Hi guys you must be wondering what's been happening to me and where am I at the moment. Well my work started at the start of the month so I have really been busy with paper works and interviewing and hiring my crew for the pizza place. We aren't officially open yet til the 25th of this month but we have trainings and other things to finalize too. Everytime I come home I am so exhausted that I can barely look at the computer. I really do miss you guys and I miss writing too. I apologize to my loyal droppers that sometimes I couldn't reciprocate the drops. I am trying my best to do my drops in any way I can. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. So hopefully I will be able to write more in the next couple of days when I am not as busy. Take care guys and keep up the good work.

Grieving for an Idol!

2009-06-25T23:54:00.000-07:00

I was still half asleep when my stepdad came into their room which is where I am camping out at the moment. heheheheh I know I should be ashamed of myself for taking away their privacy but it's the only room with air conditioner and it's really hot. Anyways, he came up to get something when he just casually let it slip out that Michael Jackson is dead. My mom was like "What? ARe you serious?" She didn't really believed him and so did I. It was like in my mind him dying young is quite impossible but the minute I came downstairs I hopped in the computer and there was the confirmation Michael had indeed died of cardiac arrest, at least that was what was said in the article. I was really sad because although he hasn't been active much lately but he is an icon in the music industry and his death is a great blow to the music world. I know that a lot of the fans from all over the world are mourning his death and I am one of them. Goodbye Michael and I hope that you are at peace now.

In another side of the story I wonder what would happen to his children. Would they remain faceless or would their pictures be posted for all to see since I for one haven't seen any of his children. I do hope that they will be ok and that they won't live a sad life.

Happy Father's Day!

2009-06-21T01:28:00.000-07:00

Today is a very special day because it is a day to celebrate our dads. I would like to extend my warmest and fattest greetings to all the wonderful fathers out there "Happy Happy Father's Day ." I know that I never really had a dad growing up but I am very thankful because I had a lot of surrogates to say thanks to. To my grandfather, uncles and my stepdad thank you for always being there for me and my sister while we were growing up. You are all the best I could have asked for in this world. I thank God for giving me the chance to know you. So what about you guys have you said thanks to your dads?

Night out with my cousins!

2009-06-17T07:16:00.000-07:00

It was the night of independence day when my cousin Regi the flight attendant recently came home for a vacation and invited me with my other cousins on a night out. We went to Mr. A's which is a nice place located on top of a mountain. You can see the beautiful lights of the city below. The air is cool and nice and the atmosphere is just right. We ordered some cocktails which were vodkatini, mai tai and weng-weng. I had the mai tai, it was really really nice and not so strong but I did taste some of the other drinks they ordered. We talked and talked and we took some pictures. The table was just illuminated with candles so it would be a romantic dinner if I was on a date. Well we stayed there til 12 midnight and until the batteries ran on the camera. It was my first time to that said place and I want to go back there again. Well on with the pictures.

A journey inside my bag!

2009-06-13T02:33:00.000-07:00

A few days ago as I was going out I just thought I'd share what's always in my bag whenever I go out. It's a small bag given to me by Aunt in the states. It's yellow and you all know that's my favorite color so inspired by the bag raids I saw in SNN. I thought I'd do one of my own. I took a pic of what's all inside the bag but I also took a video. Sorry if the quality isn't great I really didn't think much about it til I was finished. So what about you guys what's in your bags?

Independence Day !

2009-06-11T23:16:00.000-07:00

Today is the 12th and it's independence day here in my country. Lots of activities going on both rallies and celebration. Rallies because a lot of people are protesting against the resolution passed in congress about constituent assembly. I've never followed politics and I know should as a good citizen of my country but for the life of me can't understand what is being rallied about. What really is constituent assembly? How bad will it really affect the country? It's good to fight for a cause but it's sad to see that most of the people in the rally don't even know what they are fighting about. A lot of big political figures are using it to gain votes or popularity among the people. I don't know but in my opinion they should be worried about a lot of other things right now like the global recession plus the outbreak in A (H1N1).Although there are not that many cases confirmed here in the Philippines but it's close to a hundred already. It is quite frightening that one could get sick from this. As far as I know thought there hasn't been a death yet because of this virus and I really hope there won't be. It really scares the heck out of me. It makes you feel like a prisoner really because you don't want to leave the house in fear that you might contract this virus. So much for independence huh? This is another kind of prison and I really pray that we will come out of this victorious.

Elaborate Plan!

2009-06-04T22:03:00.000-07:00

My mom always told me that God has long and elaborate plans. I really believe her since our life is a good example of that. We all used to live in Ormoc City. My mom was married at young age of 15 and she had me at 16. It wasn't a very good life for her or for us at one time because of all the family troubles. So mom practically raised us herself with help from my loving grandparents. Eventually we came to cebu and studied here and it is here that I really grew up. After this I believe that it was all part of God's plan for my family. You might ask me why, well if my parents didn't separate we wouln't have come to cebu and my grandparents wouldn't have followed us here and establish a business. In 1990 or was it 1991 there was a big flash flood in Ormoc, a lot of people died and business died as well. So you see God has already prepared my grandparents to have a business here in Cebu or all of us in the family would have been so lost financially. We are not rich mind you but we are comfortable compared to most people. Eventually we all grew up here in cebu.

Then my mom met my stepdad who was a martial arts instructor and is just a year older than me. And yes he is a great guy and no I don't mind that he is younger than my mom. After all she has been through she deserves to be happy and John makes her happy so we are all happy for her. It is through John that we met a very good friend of ours Anton. He is an englishman who has a martial arts school in england.He came here to study Escrima (arnis) which is what my stepdad is teaching. It was his first time here and he didn't know anybody but mom felt that he is a good guy so she invited him to our humble home and that was 12 years ago. He has become our benefactor. He has been extremely good to us. Through him we met a lot of wonderful people. Through Anton we met Linda and her kids and they were the one who gifted us with this computer thus paved way for my sister to meet her wonderful husband online. My sister is now a happily married woman with 2 daughters. So you see everything just fell into place.Isn't that just amazing how everything was planned?God really is good.

Top EC Droppers

2009-06-02T21:59:00.000-07:00

I would like to thank all my friends who constantly visit my blog and dropped EC love on me. I will do my utmost to reciprocate all your love and support. I value all your comments and messages. Take care and let's do this again and again and again. Heheheheheh. Thanks peeps.

Magic Pen!

2009-05-28T04:57:00.000-07:00

I often go out in jeans and a t-shirt. I wear what is comfortable to me but sometimes when there are special occasions I would sometimes feel a little bit awkward because I see everybody getting busy putting on make-up and such and I don't know how to put it on or wear it. My sister is very good at it. All these things make me wonder if men go through the same thing as women do whenever they go out to attend a party. I was quite surprised to learn that there are mens cosmetics. Honestly my first reaction was to laugh but then I thought that women are not the only ones concerned about their appearance but so do most men. The product is called Men Pen. It is used to conceal, acne, moles,scars,dark circles and mostly just rough spots. It's like a magic wand for men. Women have them so why not men too right?. They do need them sometimes when they might attend a party, make a speech, go to the prom or on a date. I don't think men would want to go on a date with a big zit on his nose or forehead or chin.This is the same product that actors,models and some businessmen use to keep their groove on. And it comes in 17 different colors so there is something for everyone. It's a new era so to all the men out there use Men Pen and get your groove on .

Bonding time!

My nephew carl had a sleepover after his birthday. So we did have some more bonding time together and what other way to do that than through my passion which is cooking. I was still doing some pack lunches and he wanted to help so I let him. He just looked to so cute stirring the food in the pan. Since there were two pans I let him have the other one. Whenever I would put something in the pan he would do the same to the other pan. He even said that he should learn how to cook then . heheheh that was just so cute. He was so proud of himself and so was I. It was so funny that he was so excited to taste it.Instead of getting just a small portion just for tasting he would end up getting one laddle full of the soup and I would tease him that he will finish off the food before we could serve them. That was really really fun. After that I baked apple pie for my mom. It has been awhile since I made it so I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't turn out as delicious as it should be but I was afraid for nothing because it turned out just great. Here are the pics:

Helping hand!

2009-05-24T19:22:00.000-07:00

Making those pack lunches made me think that the best thing I can do is have a food business of some sort. If only I have the necessary space/place, I would be using it as a boarding house since I am near a school, then I would be catering to food packs for the students. I will see what I can do. I think I need to get some Small Business Loans first then go from there. Having the right finances would help me tremendously. It would solve a lot and would go a long way. That's a pretty good idea if I must say.

Welcome back sandman!

2009-05-24T19:06:00.000-07:00

I didn't get much sleep for the last 9 days because of the food packs I prepared. At last I am done. I slept and I slept and I slept yesterday. I guess I was making up for those other days I lack sleep. Some liked the food and some didn't but hey I can't please everybody. I was like jumping for joy when it was all done. Waiting for the next batch to come. I missed blogging and I haven't really been posting since it all started. Now I am back and by golly I missed you all guys.You know, the end of the preparation was just in time because it's that time of the month where I get homicidal and I would have been the crankiest cook ever. I wish guys where the one who goes through this ordeal heheheheh sorry guys I'm just bitching. I'm happy yet irritable. I miss baking cookies. I wish witchy was here to take over but I guess she is still in the war path to finding her prince. I think I'd better check on her. Anyways I know I'm rambling but hey I just remembered this is my blog and I have the right to ramble heheheh ok then on with the rambling. When of when am I gonna have sex? Oppps I think that's too much rambling. Stop it chay you are scaring the readers. Ok Ok geez can't a girl just rant. Ouch! who pinched me?Grrrr when I get my hands on you just you wait. Oh sorry false alarm it was just an ant.

One stop shopping!

2009-05-24T06:58:00.000-07:00

I have a friend who is into making fashion accessories just like me and my family. She wanted to join a fashion accessories trade show /exhibit but she lacks the necessary truss for her displays. She has her own ideas on what it should look like, it's nothing too complicated but a bit intricate and interesting to look at. I helped her look online for some sites that would make it for her.

I told my friend that her trade show displays must be eye-catching so that people will go and look at her products. It's a good thing that there is camelback displays. In this site you will see all the different truss, exhibit booths, logo floor mats and many many more. Not only can you use these on trade shows or exhibits but you can use them for concerts or if you have a night club and also for your retail stores.

I hate making those stage skirting because I find it tedious to do the pletes so most of the time my skirting would look crooked and uneven but with camelback displays you don't have to worry about that anymore because they too offer stages and stage skirting. It's like having a one stop store where you can get everything and anything you need for your display and exhibit needs. So visit and worry no more.

Carl's 5th Birthday bash!

2009-05-24T06:41:00.000-07:00

My nephew and godson carl had his 5th birthday yesterday. We prepared spaghetti, chicken, lechon and hotdogs with marshmallow. It was a children's party. He had toys and t-shirt for gifts and he really enjoyed on his birthday. It was a bit tiring on top of the pack lunches I prepared but it was all worth it. I love my nephew and what's important is that he enjoyed his birthday. We rented those little cute tables and chairs. I plan to have a children's party on my own birthday heheheheh.Sounds like fun. Here are some photos.

Choosing confidence!

2009-05-21T22:28:00.000-07:00

My sister has been asking me if I wanted my own domain. She has her own domain and it is going really well. I keep thinking and thinking about it but I am not sure until now. I have to consider a lot of factors and one of them is that I want it to be the best there is. Luckily I found out a site that gives an independent webhosting reviews and rating. At web hosting geeks they can point out to you the best web hosting providers that would surely suit your needs.We need providers that don't have hiccups or one that isn't a hassle to us. In this site you are assured that they offer the best there is in the net today. If you are looking for Free Domain Names then they have recommendations for that too. Not only do they provide you with the best information but they have a lot of awards in their belt to speak of. Knowing all these makes me confident that when I choose my own domain I am assured that I will be steered to the right direction and I will have the cream of the crop so to speak. So what are you all waiting for, do what is best by choosing the best.

Beezy as a Bee

2009-05-21T19:37:00.001-07:00

Before I start I would like to thank all my loyal friends who come and visit my blog each day. Sorry I haven't been on for a bit. I have been extremely busy because I am catering food u know like pack lunches. Serving 36 students for breakfast,lunch and dinner and good for 9 days. I am almost done so I will surely be back before you all know it. I do try and drop in on everyone as much as I can. The food we prepare are just your everyday type of food, we needed to make it affordable yet still delicious. I have 2 more days to go.. yeheyyyy then I can get some much needed sleep.Well here are some of the foods I prepared:

Dear Mothers

2009-05-10T09:54:00.000-07:00

I have been out all day with my nephew Carl to the mall. Since it's mother's day and his mom is out of the country to work, I chose to fulfill my being a second mom to him which I vowed to do during his baptist. There were a lot of mom's with their children there celebrating this wondrous day. I told my sister that I won't be posting anything today because I am very tired but I just cant sit this out and not greet all those wonderful mothers out there.

Happy Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's in the world. We as children would not be here if not for our mothers. I'm greeting not only those mother's who became mothers because they gave birth but I am also greeting all those women who are doing an exemplary job of being a mom to those kids who aren't their own. I dedicate this to all the moms

OUR CHANT!

A mother is a mother no matter what.
Our tears they wipe off as they pat our backs
They serve and take care of us which by no means simple,
She cries when we cry and feels our pain ten folds.

Mom's all over the world our applause go to you
For continuing your work even if it means letting go of YOU.
You laugh when we make big fools of ourselves,
Yet strictly imposing when right must be done.

Oh! mother hear us as these words flow,
Thank you from our hearts as your love grows,
Like trees your service is endless so with love and pride we chant
Mother! Dear Mother you have our hearts!

There is no place like home!

2009-05-08T22:52:00.000-07:00

When I was young I remember asking my mom why people go to work. I was a very curious child yet a quiet one, very observant I was told. My mom told me that people go to work in order to provide their families with food on the table, clothes to wear and to provide a good roof over their heads. I wasn't really sure if I understood what those meant at that time I asked the question but now that I am all grown up and not just grown up but already old I sure understand what those means.

Speaking of roofs, have you ever experienced a time when you were woken up by a drip drip sound? Well I have and most of the time it was the roof leaking when it rained. A leaking roof can do a lot of damage because it can spread out to the ceiling, destroy wooden frames and creates messes from the puddles that might gather as the water drips.

If you are in Kansas and you need your roof to be fixed then you go right ahead and call Kansas City Roofer. Kansas City roofer is the best one there is in this business. They provide great and prompt service at an affordable price.Finishing their jobs on time is what they pride themselves the most that they can provide to each and every costumer. As always one must be cautious in picking the right man for the job. They must compare prices so as not to go over their budget as well as ask around for recommendations from people who have had their roofs fixed.

Party aftermath!

2009-05-08T22:42:00.000-07:00

I had a good time at my cousin's nanny's party. It was just simple with 3 dishes, there was pancit, roasted chicken and pork soup. They were all delicious and I was really hungry when I went there heheheheh I was so full. We took some pictures although they weren't really good qualities but you can still see them. Here are the party aftermath pictures.

We need to move it move it!

2009-05-08T03:20:00.000-07:00

Last February was our big move to this new apartment and it was very exhausting hauling all those boxes and sacks and every other knick knacks we have. We also had difficulty finding a good mover. We can't just haul those boxes one by one so we had to hire one. It was both expensive and time consuming because it was just a small truck. I can't even remember how many times we came back to and fro.

I have some friends who are moving to Dallas so I need to help in finding a good mover for them. So off I went to the net and food them Miracle Dallas Moving. They are both efficient and committed to doing a good job. They are reliable and they specialize in exactly just that "moving".They are prompt and trustworthy. I don't know about you but if I wanted to have my things moved I'd find someone who would really deliver them. I don't want to constantly worry if my things would arrive ok or not. I just have to pick the best one there is. One must also scrutinize who they want to do their move for them so it is best to ask for bids and find out which one is suited for you.

Birthday Bash!

2009-05-08T03:14:00.000-07:00

(Singing)I'm going to a partay! I'm going to a partay! yeah!!! Yaya Lucy has invited me to her 52nd birthday bash. It is just a simple gather with family and friends. Yaya Lucy has been in my cousin's family for ages and ages. I remember that my cousin was still almost hairless when yaya lucy came aboard. She has been their nanny /housekeeper/cook/ family member. She is both efficient and very nice. We are lucky to have met her. I'm going there tonight and I'm hungry already. heheheheheh. I forgot to eat lunch but no worries I will eat for both lunch and dinner. I'm sure the food will fit my chubby tummy. So cyah guys when I get back.

Worry free!

2009-05-07T07:19:00.000-07:00

I was watching grey's anatomy today and saw this episode where water was leaking everywhere. It was both hilarious and an eye opener for me. How many times have I ignored signs of water dripping somewhere where it is not supposed to drip? Countless of times and I know that I am not the only one doing this. When we find out there is something wrong with our plumbing who do we call? Ghostbusters? No! definitely not, we would call a plumber. We don't call just any plumber but we must call the best man in the field. I have had so many experiences with people saying they are plumbers and as it turns out they don't know half of what they are doing and they made the problem worst and it cost me more. If you are in Minneapolis and you have some plumbing jobs then why don't you call Minneapolis Plumber. The people at Days Minneapolis Plumbing Service don't just give you a temporary fix for your problems but they give you solutions for it. They specializes in the following:
* Water Heater Replacement & Repair
* Water Softener Replacement & Repair
* Disposal Replacement
* Faucet and Fixture Replacement & Repair
* Drain Cleaning
* Minneapolis Plumbing
Even if you don't have emergency problems right now you can contact them and have them look your plumbing over before something did happen and you were doing some important business and get the shocking emergency of your life. So why wait when you can prevent this disasters from happening right now and save your self some future headache and money.Just like from the saying " An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure."

Thanks to my Top EC Droppers for April!

2009-05-06T21:09:00.000-07:00

A heartfelt thanks to all my ec droppers. I appreciate the time and effort you spent visiting and dropping by my blog. A round of applause for all of us.

Artistic Expressions!

2009-05-06T06:28:00.000-07:00

I have a birthmark on my face and often times people would think it's a tattoo.I don't have a tattoo anywhere but I do know a lot of people with tattoos in fact my cousin Rufy has a big one on his back. Some girls don't like tattoos so my cousin is having difficulties finding a girl who is down with it. I told him he should join Tattoo Chat City and join in their tattoo chat rooms. Aside from it being free to join , he can talk to a lot of people from all over the world who are into tattoos. He can view cams and be on cam, that way he can show off all those interesting and color tattoos. Who knows he might be able to meet the girl who will go crazy over his tats. People tend to judge other people who chose to express their artistic side by means of tattooing their body but I'm not one of them. In fact in some cultures tattoos are considered marks of beauty.Each one of us has been given free will so why not exercise it as long as we are not hurting anyone. So to all you guys and gals with tats fear no more because there is a place for you to be yourself.

Weird Much!

2009-05-06T05:49:00.000-07:00

When I was a kid my mom used to say that I would give out numbers and then she would bet on it and it would always win. She said I have some sort of gift. On my dad's side of the family they have what you call a cockpit arena you know where rooster fight and people would bet big money on it, well she said that they would ask me to choose which cock I like and then they would bet on that and the cock would win everytime until such time I get sleepy or bored. I don't know if you would believe me or not but when I reached the age of 11 I used to see accidents before they happen. It's like watching a television of some sort minus the sounds. I didn't really like it because I would always see them as if I was there and they are really bad. Yes my mom consulted a psychologist or was it a psychiatrist I forgot but anyhow the doctor talked to me and then later on I found out that he the doctor asked my mom if she would agree for me to be trained in using this talent. My mom said no because she didn't want me to be a lab rat or something. I don't know if I am glad or not. If you ask me if I still see things like these, my answer would be yes but it's lesser now.I'm not claiming to be a psychic or anything like that I'm just sharing these to you. It's up to you guys whatever you might think about it. I would welcome comments or stories of similar events so feel free to drop me a line or two or three heheheheheh.

Rewiring your future!

2009-05-06T05:05:00.000-07:00

Summer time is here and it's a fun season yet a dangerous one too. The trees and grasses are dry and most of the time it could start fires but the fires are not only limited to the wilderness but could be happening in the homes and business sectors too. There could be a lot of reasons why fires occur in houses and business establishments, it could be that a stove was left unattended, someone playing with matches and other flammable materials and lastly electrical wirings short circuiting causing them to explode and start fires. A lot of the contributing factors we can prevent or resolve ourselves but not the electrical stuff. Sure we can change switches and install plug sockets but rewiring the whole houses or business establishments is entirely a whole new scene.

It's a good thing that there is Denver Electrician. SJO Electric is a full service electrical contractor and they provide and specializes in :

* New Commercial and Residential Construction Projects and Renovations / Remodeling
* Equipment Installation, Wiring & Panel Upgrades
* Computer & Telephone Cabling
* Interior & Exterior Lighting
* Residential and Commercial Electrical Service Calls

As you can see they almost have everything you need electrical wise. But not only do they provide these services but they have a dedicated and professional service department that would be there to respond to your calls. We all know that we just can't pick anybody to do such an intricate job but we need someone who is personable and knows exactly what they are doing. I know from experience how much a hassle it is when you can't communicate well with the people doing these stuff.You need people you can talk to and ask questions and get detailed and accurate answers too. SJO is that kind of electrical contractor . So what are you waiting for check them out and save yourselves some future losses.

Finally I've tasted the durian flavored ice cream!

2009-05-06T04:45:00.000-07:00

I went out to Ayala Center today to go to the bank and withdrew some money for the house budget sent by our dear friend Anton. It wasn't as hot today because it's a bit gloomy I mean rain is threatening to pour down. I also went grocery shopping and the things I bought are quickmelt cheese for my pizza making later on, a big bag of cornflakes, shampoo, 4 rolls of toilet paper, ube hopia , cooked square ham, concentrated juice powder and some biscuits. Since I've been there the other day and saw pippos ice cream I have been wanting to try the durian flavor and I finally did it this afternoon. Yeheyyy me. It was really delicious. The smell wasn't overpowering and I do so love durian. I wish I had my cam with me so I could have taken a pic of myself eating heheheh I don't know what people would be thinking if they see me do that heheheh. When I got home I transferred some files from the computer to my stepdad's 500gb mass storage thingy. Now I'm all done so back to blogging and dropping ec's and checking blogs.

One of a kind!

2009-05-05T13:25:00.000-07:00

When I was still working in a call center I used to have the munchies. I get hungry all the time and food keeps me awake while I'm on duty so I eat all the time. I work the graveyard shift so that means I need to stay awake until the wee hours of the morning. A lot of my fellow call center agents, including myself would always raid the Vending Machines found in our pantry. There are about 3 found there so sometimes it gets tiresome when you have to go from one different machine to the next just to get that daily fix you want. If I was into business myself I would choose to have a Vending Machine Business because this type of business is booming now a days since a lot of companies are providing them for their employee's benefit. Getting this one of a kind vending machine where one can stock it with different products like colas, snacks, energy drinks and bottled water is a must for a Vending Business
It's versatility is the most sought after quality when it comes to vending. It can save space and it would make more employees happy thus making clients and costumers happy too. These vending refreshment centers allow you to put 13 different types of snacks and 6 different beverages and can hold enough of them too. So what more can one be looking for when it is already all there.

A lesson learned!

2009-05-05T07:31:00.000-07:00

As I was washing the dishes yesterday after we ate I noticed some ants crawling around scouring for food. I didn't want to kill any of them because the movies have influenced me much heheheh you know I saw and liked ANTZ and Bug's life and it kind makes me think twice about killing any of them. So if it is possible to shoo them away I would much rather do that but sometimes when they bite it hurts and itches like hell that you just want to kill all of them. It's really amazing to see that the smallest scrap of food matters and is important for example to those ants. There were a few of them sharing the load of bringing the food so it makes me think that if only people would help each other then our world would be a better world. Of course I didn't forget to take pictures. heheheheheh. Here they are:

Come and get addicted with me!

2009-05-04T20:38:00.000-07:00

Just recently mom wanted me to search on the net for some flowerpots for her to grow her flowers in. The net is a big place to be if you want to search for something and at times it gets overwhelming and tiring because you have to click loads of link to find that one product you wanted plus you have to make sure that you aren't clicking on a virus infected site so searching is kinda becoming a big hassle for me. I so wish for just one site where I can possibly find all the things I wanted.

As if a genie granted me my wishes I found the perfect product whiz where I can get all of my gardening needs. Shopwiki is wickedly awesome.But please sit , sip your lemonade and enjoy what else I have to say about this amazing find. I tested and tried the site myself and it amazed me a whole lot how easy it is to navigate and search what I was looking for. Since my mom loves the green stuff and I don't mean money, I tried to search for things that would enhance my mom's humble little garden and what do you know pooof there they are just like that ,you get garden accents, structurs and other useful decors.

That was for mom so it's my turn to search for my special finds. I love to cook and bake so naturally I want something for my kitchen.I found some kitchen goodies that I love and needed. Oh my , Oh my , Oh my it's like my birthday and Christmas rolled into one. But wait my stepdad wanted to jump in the bandwagon and viola he found his niche. So shopwiki isn't just for moms and daughters it is for dads too.

What's great about this site is that you can refine your search by way of prices,brands and colors plus they put list of the stores where you can get them. Now isn't that just awesome? I don't know about you but I'm getting addicted already. Thank you shopwiki.

Advert trouble!

2009-05-04T04:53:00.000-07:00

I don't know what is happening and I already sent a feedback about this but Paid ads are running even when I rejected them. I do apologize to those bloggers who paid with their hard earned ec credits and only get half of time in my widget. I don't know what is up with entrecard.

I mean it is good to support entrecard by way of the paid ads but it will take out time or exposure in my widget to those who are diligently dropping to earn ec credits and using them to pay for ad time. They should have added a new widget at least that way paid and ec credit ads can run together. This is just my opinion mind you but it sometimes irritates the hell out of me.

Adventure is the name of the game!

2009-05-03T03:41:00.000-07:00

My sister who is in Delaware is planning a trip to Las Vegas because she has been invited by a friend. I'm so excited for her because from what I've seen through television shows , Las Vegas is a happening place. It seems like it never sleeps at all so everyone is doing something fun and exciting. I have been asking her if she is gonna watch any of the Las Vegas Shows but she is still undecided so I searched online for shows that she might like to see and I am so amazed at how many popular shows there are, so I decided to pester my sister into seeing "Phantom" and that she must purchase her ticket at showslasvegas.com before she goes there so that she will surely be able to see that fantastic show. We saw the movie Phantom of the Opera so I'm pretty sure the broadway show is awesome too.

Not only can she get a ticket for a show but she can also get tickets for tours. I sure would love to see Las Vegas in a bird's eye view and yes one will be riding a helicopter. Oh boy I'm so excited for her and I hope that she will do a lot of activities while she is there and send me all the pictures. So all you guys out there planning a trip to Las Vegas get your tickets in advance and have the adventure of a lifetime.

Flores de Mayo!

2009-05-02T22:56:00.000-07:00

It's may once again and Flores de Mayo is here in fact it already started 2 days ago. I really love this time of the month because of the many colorful flower you can see offered to the Blessed Virgin Mary after every mass plus all those cute little angels at the altar. I never been an angel during flores de mayo when I was a kid so I kinda envy those little kids who are joining in this joyous occasion. Will try and take some pics and post them here.

Rock on!

2009-05-02T22:21:00.000-07:00

I was just browsing through my old photos when I saw a picture of my grandmother in a costume party dressed as a punk rocker. She looks amazing with those one of a kind triangular sunglasses , sparkly sequined mini skirts and pink streaked hair. She looked elegantly funky. I know that there are a lot of punk rock fans who are single and looking for those mate who loves punk rock as well so I searched on the web and found a punk rock dating site. It is where singles who love punk rock come together. It is absolutely free to join and you can send messages , meet new friends and eventually find that special someone who can punk their way to your heart. Rock on guys!

Hoorayyy Manny Won!

2009-05-02T22:12:00.000-07:00

I just got the text from my friend and she said that Manny Pacquiao won in just 2 rounds. She also said that Hatton was knocked out twice in the first round. Oh boy I wish I was there to watch it. I know that a lot of Filipinos were watching this fight so CONGRATS TO YOU MANNY another job well done. I just can't contain my happiness for this success fight. I heard that Floyd Mayweather will be Manny's next fight although I am not sure yet. We just have to wait and see.

The search is over!

2009-05-02T21:40:00.000-07:00

My mom who is a very creative person often makes a lot of home improvements and wants to remodel things. We have a house that has been rented out and mom wants to do some remodeling on it. She always points out to us that we must take care of the house because aside from it being a good investment it also holds a lot of memories. We do agree with her but we also need to find a good contractor that would do the remodeling for us because we don't want to destroy the house by doing it ourselves.

Do you need a professional contractor to do the remodeling but hate doing the search? Well, search no more because Atlanta Remodeling is here to help you out with that job. They provide high quality services at an affordable price and we do need that with the economy we have right now. We all know that finding the best remodeling contractor is a must since it is going to affect the value of your house. Am I right? Yes I definitely am. Aside from finding a good remodeling contractor one must need to find someone who can help you select the best jobs to do to improve the home and Atlanta remodeling does that for you because high costumer service is their priority.

Visiting Girlfriends!

2009-05-02T21:33:00.000-07:00

Last night my girlfriends Gail and Christina were here visiting me and as I said in my previous post that we were gonna have a buwad session and we did. I didn't get to buy budo but still we had buwad for dinner as well as pork in oyster sauce. We had so much fun chatting about things while we ate that I couldn't stop laughing. After eating we went online in facebook and just checked out our friends. Asking whos who in there.

A few minutes after that we decided to pop some corns and watch a movie but when we turned on the TV there was a special on Manny and Hatton that we just had to watch. Today John went to CDP to watch the fight since the Grandmaster had Payperview and would be watching it as they happen. I would have wanted to watch with them but there won't be anyone left with mom so I just had to content myself with their txt messages.

No more sleepless nights!

2009-05-01T20:31:00.000-07:00

In the old neighborhood where we used to live there were a lot of big houses so a lot of break-ins were happening. Our house was one of the many places they broke into. We were very relax when it came to protection since we had a high fence surrounding the house and thought that it could protect us but the robbers were just too witty. They climbed over our wall using the other house's fence . It wasn't a very nice feeling when you know that people have invaded your private space. I wished that we had a wireless security system back then, we would have been alerted when the theft was happening or it could have prevented the burglars from getting in.

Today I found that we don't have to worry at all because there is Protect America. It is a wireless security system company that provides state of the art security system. They have different packages to choose from and I picked the Gold Package.It has a talking control panel, internal siren, door chime and 15 doors and windows sensor. Wow! 15? I don't think you or I will have sleepless nights anymore. And if you call their toll free number which is 877-470-2751 now you will get 2 key chain remotes with your order. Now who doesn't like freebies? I sure love them. So what are you guys waiting for? Jump in and push all those sleepless nights aside.

Good Day!

2009-05-01T20:13:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I was ranting how I was having a homicidal day. Today I am having a good day. The sun is up but it isn't too hot. I had a good night's rest plus a very nice dream. Some friends of mine will be coming over later today because they said we will be having a salted fish session so to all the bisdaks out there mag eat gyud mi og budo. Mmmmm my mouth is already watering. I wonder what else I'm gonna cook this evening. I will raid my recipes for that perfect meal. I have a lot of errands to do today like buy popcorn, buy apples and then buy the budo of course and right now I am cooking lunch so I am very very busy today.

Pamper yourself!

2009-05-01T07:27:00.000-07:00

I'm turning 32 this coming July and I have noticed that I seldom look at myself in the mirror. Truth be told I think it is because of how dry and awful my skin looks.

Homicidal Day!

2009-05-01T06:33:00.000-07:00

Boy can this day get any crappier? Sorry guys for the awful lingo. I am just not having fun today. Mr. google is punishing me again and took my PR 2 then I feel awful because of that time of the month where women go homicidal. Yes ! that's what I mean. Then I don't know if it is my internet connection that is having problems or entrecard because everytime I try and drop ec it would just turn grey. I have only been able to drop 1 lousy ec this day and I do apologize to all my loyal ec droppers.

Now I feel hot and grumpy and horny and did I say hot? Yup I did say that already. I know I know I am rambling but what can I do I really feel crappy. There that is much better. Thank you guys for letting me vent off.

Shine like the stars!

2009-04-29T17:44:00.000-07:00

I have been surfing the web to find suitable dating sites so I can find a man for myself but I am stumped because in some sites you can just introduce yourself and wait for someone to write you or find someone you can write but it takes a long time. I wanted to find a site where I can directly talk to a person and exchange views and see his expression as we talk. My friend Pal and I have the same problem because let us not hide the truth some men just don't dig big women like me but still I believe that there are exceptions to the rule.

Luckily I found bbw chat. It is a place where women like us can go and let our hairs down and just be ourselves without worrying about being judged. It is free to join and the minute you make an account you can then meet people in a snap. You can be on live cam and talk your heart out at the same time meet people all over the place from all walks of life.My fingers are itching to create an account. So all you big single ladies out there it is our time to shine and show the world what we can do.

Family Visit.

2009-04-29T09:27:00.000-07:00

We have a visitor today. My uncle Ruvi and my aunt Christina and cousins Kathy, Rufy and hi gf Jill came over for a visit. Although our house is small they are staying overnight here. Mom and I just brought the mattress down and covered it with some blanket and we have an instant bed , you know japanese style because we just placed it in the floor. The wife of my cousin Kathy is staying upstairs in my mom's room where I sleep because it is air conditioned there and it gets hot at times. My aunt and uncle just wanted to stay down because he has a fever and his sinusitis is acting up. Rufy who I call Bitch went with his gf. Our greeting whenever we meet would be " Hi Bitch" or sometimes " Hi whore" I know it sounds bad but it's just fun for us. I hope we can spend time with each other in his visit here. I just have to wait and see.

My comfort space!

2009-04-28T20:59:00.000-07:00

I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to cook anymore. I really miss it. I plan to cook something for my friends in the next couple of days so that will make me busy again but I love it. As I have said in my previous posts that we have just transferred to a new apartment and I was adamant when we were looking for apartments to inspect the kitchen sinks because after all it will be the place where I will usually be doing the washing after I do the cooking. Ours is not that big but it is deep and a good quality. One day when I will have a house of my own I promised myself that the most beautiful part of my house will be my kitchen. I want to have big cupboards and a big refrigerator and I must have a complete set of cooking and baking utensils.

I noticed as I browse online that sinks usa has some very good sinks available. I specially love the double bowl sink because two person can use it simultaneously. Aside from it being practical it is made of stainless steel so there won't be rusting and chipping.They are also affordable and can match any kitchen design or layout. And the most important one is that they are very easy to clean and they can last a long long time.

CDP victory party pics

2009-04-28T20:44:00.000-07:00

As I said in my previous post I went to the CDP (Cacoy Doce Pares) victory party and I promised to take pics and I will be posting them here. I had a blast yesterday we drank about 4 bottles of flavored wine but you can consider them lady's drink. I had some tequila shots as well but still I didn't get drunk but anyway I had lots and lots of fun.

Beautify the home!

2009-04-27T22:56:00.000-07:00

We just transferred to a new apartment not long ago and I have a lot of stuff to deal with but not a lot of space to place them. I have lots and lots of romantic novels which I love to read, recipe books that I constantly use because I love to cook and the shoes that I love to wear not to mention my little decoration trinkets. Right now some of my things are still in their respective boxes. I have been planning to do some home improvements without actually doing too much damage on the place. I want to make a detachable shelf without those nails or screw damaging the walls. My stepdad is handy when it comes to carpentry so I'm gonna pester him about it hahahahaha.

On another note my mom loves her plant and wanted to liven up the place so what she did was put up some wood on the walls outside the apartment and hanged some plants. It sure made a lot of difference in beautifying the place.In fact here are the before and after look.

Mom and I love looking at some Home Improvement Blog online. We found a good blog with great ideas to offer in different categories too and that is the Luxury Housing Trends and Home Improvement ideas. I particularly love those End Grain Wood cutting board for the kitchen in their accessories category and mom loved the Columnar Apple trees for patios and small yards found in the lawn and garden category.She is just so crazy about apple trees.We can't wait to browse for more so come join us.

It's Party time again!

2009-04-27T22:52:00.000-07:00

As I was browsing and blogging my mobile phone alerted me to a text message and it was a damn good news that I just have to blog about it. You guys know that I recently helped in the Cacoy Doce Pares tournament as I posted a blog about it yesterday, well today the CDP players will have a victory party and at the same time celebrate a birthday party for one of Grandmaster Cacoy's grandson Chuck. Hmmm it is eating time again. Yipeeeee. Today I will definitely take pics with myself in it by hook or by crook.

Flirting with a flare!

2009-04-27T21:38:00.000-07:00

I have been blogging about my single friends that I forgot that I am single too. Just the other night I was telling my sister that I am getting tired of my single status so she said why don't I try and go to the online dating sites that I found for my friends or the sites that they found themselves. Well that isn't a bad idea after all she did find her mate online.

Now a days it is very hard to find a serious partner without them worrying where to get the necessary finances to perhaps come meet you or just shower you with gifts and treat you like a princess. Well I don't think I have to worry about that anymore because I found a free millionaire dating site. What I really love about this site is that it is free and hassle free. Why hassle free you might ask me? Well for 1 you don't need cash or a credit card to enter, 2 you can be yourself and not worry that you might inconvenience anyone financially and 3 you can upload stuff and be on cam and look at cams of other members. It is not only for women but for men too. So to all you guys and gals out there who are single, what are you waiting for? Be a member today but leave a slot for me hahahahaha.

Perfect blend of friendship award!

2009-04-27T20:24:00.000-07:00

Ladies and gentlemen I would like to extend my thanks to SHYDUB of A simple happy Life for presenting me this PERFECT BLEND OF FRIENDSHIP AWARD award (sniff, sniff).

Kidding Aside I would like to give this award to the following people : Lods, Meryl, Ms. Recipe, Forgetful Princess, and Davida . You guys rock

Hang-ups shakedown!

2009-04-27T11:12:00.000-07:00

Just the other day I was talking to a friend of mine who has been single for a while and she has a cute little girl. I keep asking her why she is still single and her favorite answer " Can't find a guy who can accept my daughter." I thought to myself how come? I mean she is a very nice lady and her daughter is so cute that I just want to squeeze her but not too much though hahahahah we don't need to squeeze out all the air. So anyway I told my friend to try internet chatting as it is all the rage right now. She seems very sure that no one would want her because she is a single parent but I hurriedly disabuse her of that perception. I know that she can find single parent chatrooms in the web and I was right. She found the single parent chat city and not only is it easy to join but it is free too.

There I told her that she can let her hair down and enjoy herself and let go of all those doubts and negative thinking because in this site she will be meeting people who are single and parents at the same time. She can turn on her cam and chat with other people with cam too and I know that she won't be single for long.

The heat is on!

2009-04-27T10:23:00.000-07:00

Now that summer time is coming up it is imperative that we must remain cool and calm so we can enjoy ourselves. I know that people will be going out to the beach, going to malls or just laze around the house reading a book or watching favorite tv shows or movies, I don't know which I will be but I will definitely be doing something.

People have been sick during summer time from the heat as well as get sick from the cold during winter days so we both need heating and cooling for this problem. James who is a friend of mine who lives in texas has had problems with heat in the past so I told him that what he needs is Austin HVAC Air Conditioner. The Dayton air conditioning and heating contractor have been in the cooling and heating business since 1991 so that's a long time to base experience from. They are a small company by design with few employees but very well trained ones. They are very particular with quality work. They specialize in heating and air conditioning repair, new replacement system and many more.They just don't give out estimates but they will visit your place to check things out and make sure that you will be getting the appropriate system suited to your needs. And one more thing, they are always on time and time as we all know is an important factor in our lives specially with our economy now a days. This I know for a fact, James will be a happy happy man after this.

Cacoy Doce Pares World Tournament

2009-04-27T09:45:00.000-07:00

Finally I got a good days rest today after 3 days of gruelling work at the tournament. I am one of the officials at the table incharge of the scores sheets and noting down the winners. The tournament was both fun and exciting. There were a lot of contenders here both Filipinos and foreigners. There were delegates from Australia, USA, Indonesia, New Zealand, Spain, England, Poland and of course the Philippines.

Watching the fights made my heart pound with excitement. Not only were there fights there but there were Forms (KATA) performed too. As busy as I was, taking pics was almost impossible but I did get a few. Will add videos later.

A chance of a lifetime!

2009-04-24T08:06:00.000-07:00

Ever since I was a little girl I have always dreamed of riding those huge ferris wheels I see on tv and in magazines.I can't say that I haven't ridden a ferris wheel because I have but they aren't as big as those I saw on the television. I never had a problem of throwing up or getting a queasy stomach when I rode those rides so for that I am very thankful.Now that I am older and can take a vacation I want to visit lots of places and one of them is Florida. I have heard from friends and family how wonderful it is to go in Kissimmee. When I heard about this I was so elated because they have World class Theme parks and not only that but you can go shopping,golfing and one of my favorite things to do which is tadaaa drum roll please... dining. Hmmmm just thinking about visiting the SeaWorld Orlando is in itself a treat. I want to see those whales jump up and do tricks and most importantly I want to pet a dolphin.

My excitement doesn't just end there because I learned that I could go there and enjoy myself for free and the knowledge is making me loco. I know you are asking me What? How? The answer is really simple they are giving away a 3 weekend get away and yes you heard me right it's just not 1 or 2 but 3 weekend getaways and all you have to do is enter their sweepstakes.Just think of 3 days and 2 nights of pure heaven for two or the 2 weeklong vacation for 4. Hmmm I am really feeling the vibe. Oh my, Oh my, Oh my I can't wait to enter. I'm so giddy right now that all I can think about are the whales and dolphins and the food and the other extra activities that I could do when I win. And yes positive thinking is all the rage right now so that's what I'm gonna do to get me that prize. The drawings will be held on 4/1/09, 5/1/09 and 6/1/09 and to think that they are just a few days from now is making my fingers itch to enter. Aren't your fingers itching to enter too?

Cacoy Doce Pares World Tournament

2009-04-23T11:02:00.000-07:00

Hi Friends and fellow bloggers here I am again letting you know that I will be off the radar for a few days as I will be helping out my stepdad with the cacoy doce pares world tournament. There will be escrimadors from australia,jakarta,us and philippines . I will be there to help out either be a tabulator or just do some errands that needs to be done. My sister will be dropping in on your ec's so don't worry. I will take pictures and get right back in the saddle when it is all over. Take care everyone and have a happy weekend.

Psychic help!

2009-04-21T08:03:00.000-07:00

When I was a kid my mom used to say that I would give out numbers and then she would bet on it and it would always win. She said I have some sort of gift I don't know about that but I do believe in psychics. I used to know someone who was a psychic and he gave me and my cousin Regi some tarot readings and they came true.

I know that lot of people are into psychic readings and I don't blame them or judge them. My cousin Regi has been traveling all over the world as what our friend predicted, so that reading happened. Seeking help is always a good thing no matter how you do it. Either you go to a friend, family members or a psychic it really doesn't matter as long as you get an end result. If you do want help on love, relationship or marriage then why don't you try and have a professional psychic reading done who knows you might find some of the answers you seek.

Monster Pizza

2009-04-19T05:02:00.000-07:00

My aunt and my cousins came for a visit last night and invited me,my other aunt Jocelyn and my other cousin Coyen to a pizza place named Calda Pizza. Since I love food naturally I went anticipating good food. When we got there the place was bustling with people having drinks . The tables where a bit full so we were just there waiting for a table to be vacant. I saw how they rolled the pre-made dough and put the filling and then into the oven to be cooked. It was really fun to watch. While we were waiting for the table my cousin Dido went ahead and ordered the no meat pizza. Some people were already a bit into their cups and there was even a catfight heheheheh. I guess those women had too much to drink as well.

After a few minutes of waiting, the pizza arrived and I was so shocked as in mouth hanging open shock. The Pizza was so big, it was 30 inches. thin crust with lots of cheese and the crust tasted so good. The people were kinda looking at us funny. I think the thought that went through their minds are :" Can they eat all of that? Wow these women eat a lot".Well we almost did. I was so stuffed that I couldn't sleep right away. I dreamed of food.. Can you imagine that food????? Ohh here are the pics, it was taken by my cousin's mobile phone since I didn't bring my cam.

Single? Not for long.

2009-04-17T17:35:00.000-07:00

I love and hate being single. Love it because there aren't any complications in my life but hate it because I get lonely at times. I often come online to chat and perhaps to find that special someone. I joined a lot of dating sites already hoping to find that one person to complete me but so far no such luck yet. I am glad to know thought that I am not the only one having this problem. I have a friend who lives in florida and is single like me so I recommended her to join miami singles. It is where you can upload photos,do instant messaging, upload video profiles and many more.It is for men and women who are looking for that special someone online and what more it is free to join and browse around. So hurry on up and join now all you single men and ladies out there in miami.

Mom's Birthday celebration!

2009-04-17T16:51:00.000-07:00

After the frenzy of my Mom's birthday party and my mishap on the murky water hole all is back to normal now. The day after the party I was down, had a bad headache and my leg was throbbing because of the small cut on my foot. It makes me shiver to think of all the germs that possibly got in through that cut. I just hope there won't be any ill effect because of that. Anyway enough said about my sad mishap , why don't I talk about the party now. Sound like a good idea?

Already then. I baked my mom's favorite chocolate cake which took a while since I don't have a big oven. Actually I started baking them the night before her party. I also prepared,spaghetti with lots of cheese and cream, sweet and sour fish, then there was pork caldereta and then adobo with tanduay rum, chicken curry and then we bought some precooked chicken.The house was really packed that we ran out of chairs heheheheh. So what we did was some of us went upstairs to eat there in the comfort of my mom's air conditioned room while the others stayed down for the wonderful chow. I was very glad to recieve all the compliments from the food. Here are the pics:

Cool Air equals Good Mood!

2009-04-16T10:06:00.000-07:00

I went out with my mom today and it was scorching hot. It was a good thing that we went to the mall because there is air conditioning there so we don't have to perspire as much. We have an air conditioner at home so we don't get hot during the day specially in summer time where the heat is crippling. Having an air conditioner at home don't just give you that cool feeling but it keeps you in a cool mental mood. I mean when you feel cool you would less likely get angry or mad at anyone. The air conditioner at home is in my mom's room so it sometimes get packed in there so cousin who shares the room with me is planning to get one for our room so the search is on.

Busy as a Bee

2009-04-14T21:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday or was it the other day that I was a lazy bum ? Hmmm I can't really remember heheheh. I am so busy today coupled with the heat and what do you get? Fried brain heheheh. It is my mom's 48th b-day today and I am busy cooking and buying stuff. Early this morning I went out to buy some flowers for her and I bought 2 dozen flowers plus 2 basket arrangement flowers and I also bought one for my mom's bestfriend who is celebrating the same birthday. Everybody will be here to celebrate with her so will take lots of pics hopefully I will be in a couple of them. It is my mom's day but not mine and do you know why because as I was getting out of the taxi carrying all her flowers all by myself I stepped on a whole full of dirty and yucky water. Brrr makes me shiver to remember all those germs and bacteria floating around and yes to all those cebuanos (nabulasot gyud ko sa kanal kalagot kaayo) but I believe that bad luck is going to be offset with good luck.So Thank you all for reading my blogs. Keep on reading I know you want to. hehehehehhe. Ta Ta!

Loving those emails!

2009-04-14T21:22:00.000-07:00

I have a lot of friends online from all parts of the world and I frequently send them emails with pics or documents. I really hate it when you open your email and you see lots of advertisers there and you always wonder where and how they got a hold of your email.

So if you want to get all those important emails securely then why don't you Get your Free Private Email now at PrivacyHarbor.comThey have some really awesome features.

Lazy Bum

2009-04-13T04:42:00.000-07:00

I'm feeling too lazy today to do anything. I know I know I shouldn't practice this because it is bad for me or for any human being that is. I guess it's just the inactivity of the last couple of days because of lent rubbing on me. What did I do all day you ask? Well I have been watching charmed lately and yes it's about witches and demons and everything supernatural. I have always liked magic so that's the reason why I got hooked on this series. I have seen this a hundred times already and I don't mind watching them a hundred more times. I'm already on the 5th season so it's getting really exciting. I just hated that they took out Cole I mean it was a really good balance and I loved their love story not to mention that he is yummy. Almost all the demons in the story are all yummy. Grrrr makes me want a demon of my own heheheheh.Well folks that's about all I did.Ta Ta everyone.

It is good to be aware!

2009-04-12T02:48:00.000-07:00

My cousin is really into cars big time. He has this magazine full of all kinds of cars and he would look at it for hours and hours .I kinda got hooked myself into looking at them but not only in magazines but online as well . I love those cute and compact cars because they won't take up too much space. I would imagine myself driving a cute all terrain vehicle in the mountains just letting the breeze flow.

I was really worried when I read an article online about the Yamaha Rhino Rollover accidents. I learned that they have been recalled as they should be so as to protect people . I am very glad that there are people out there concerned about safety as I need my legs for walking,running and other stuff so by being aware of this kind of danger is indeed a big help to me and to other people too who like these type of vehicles. We should always be cautious in choosing the kind of vehicles to get for our family or for ourselves but if you are already a victim of this kind of accident then this article would be a good one to read.

What really had me worried about all of this Yamaha Rhino Rollover danger is that a lot of youngsters would want a cute and compact cars like this one, so parents and everybody out there should be picky in choosing the right vehicles to use. We should be very meticulous about each features of the car. I know that some people love the extreme sports and the rush of danger but we should protect our life as we only have 1.

Happy Easter to one and all!

2009-04-12T02:42:00.000-07:00

I would like to greet everyone a Happy Easter. I know that a lot of people would either be spending time with their families or go out to the mall to celebrate this wonderful day. I know that a lot of kids love this day specially in places that do easter egg hunt. I did that last year with my nephew and he had a blast. For us catholics Easter is the mother of all feast because it is on this day that Christ our savior resurrected from saving us. We honor and celebrate what He did for us and be thankful for all the blessings that came our way. Easter has a different meaning to each and everyone of us so however we celebrate it would not make a difference as along as we know why we are celebrating it.

2 in 1

2009-04-10T18:22:00.000-07:00

My mom is a very artistic person just like my grandmother. Both of them love wood furniture. So just like them I learned to love it. There is this site called scenic furniture and I saw all their products on the site and they are awesome. If you have a cabin or a house near nature then this would be very appropriate. As I was browsing there what really caught my attention was their cutting boards because as you all know I love to cook. They have more than one design on their site but this particular Dark Stripe Serpentine Walnut Cutting Board caught my eye. I like the design that it has curves at the side so it would be easy to hold onto if you are carrying it towards the table. Or you can just put it propped up or lying down as a sort of decoration in your kitchen. And since the color is light and neutral it would match any table you have. So you not only get a functional board but a decoration at the same time so its like you have two different things in 1, and besides every kitchen needs a good cutting board.

Sabbatical

2009-04-08T22:03:00.000-07:00

Thank you so much everyone for always visiting my blogs. I hope you won't stop doing so. I want to let you all know that I won't be on tomorrow Good Friday and Black Saturday. It is the time for reflection and spending time with the family. I will get back to all of you. Take care all. Have a happy Holy Week.

Words

2009-04-07T19:30:00.000-07:00

I had a wonderful vacation at my grandparent's place there were lots of food and merry making. I will post those next but there is one really funny incident I just can't shut up about.

We were sleeping at my uncle's house since my grandmother's place is already full. Then one of my cousin named Rufy called me up and said he wanted to go out and I said yes since it has been a while since we seen each other. I asked mom for permission and she said she would let me go but I have to change my shirt since she said it was too short and not appropriate to wear out. I didn't bring my bag of clothes since we were just gonna sleep there and so I asked my cousin Coyen if I could borrow one of his tatay's (father) shirt and she went up and took a couple and then she handed me one. When I wore it I was really tickled pink and so was everyone else. Here is the reason why:

I was thinking if the words were appropriate hehehehe.

EC Problem

2009-04-05T21:12:00.000-07:00

Having problems dropping ec since yesterday. To all my loyal droppers thanks so much for dropping. I promise to get back to you as soon as everything gets fixed. I'm back from my vacation and will post soon.Melody my sister has already beaten me to posting. Talk to yah all soon.

Lapband

2009-04-01T22:59:00.000-07:00

I heard that lap band is the safest and the most minimally invasive weight loss surgery now a days. Just in time because I am vacationing at my grandmother's place and that means more food than I can eat.I don't know but every time I come to her place it feels like I would gain 5 pounds each day. Sometimes just looking at the food would make me gain weight and believe me, I have been on lots of diets and none have worked so far.Having procedures where they would cut in me and leave big ugly scars is a definite no no for me. It's a good thing I found out about lap band and its wonderful benefits. Aside from it being minimally invasive there would be no hospital time so that alone is a good bargain and it can be reversed or adjusted so this is a definite good news for food lovers like me. I even told my friend Duan about this procedure and she wanted in so I pointed her here 1-800-GET-SLIM so she can find out for herself about this awesome procedure. She wants in but she is a bit cautious as well so to help her decide even more I told here there are lap band testimonials and some lap band before and after that she can check out. So guess what guys you can now throw away some of that wrinkle cream because you won't need them anymore, no worries mean no wrinkles.

A friend in need!

2009-03-30T09:55:00.000-07:00

My friend Anton who runs a martial arts school in plymouth often travels from the academy to his mom's place every weekend. He was telling me just the other day why he wasn't able to go there this weekend. His car died on him. He was very frustrated because he was really looking forward to visiting and go horse riding with his mom. Since economy is a bit down he was looking for a cheap car to buy. I suggested he look for used cars here.We all know that it is easier to buy and look around for cars online and this is the best site yet for him. Not only will he be able to find used cars but brand new ones too.He can even sell a car online and get the best price, be it to buy or sell. After browsing through this site I am sure Anton will be inclined to purchase one. Now those cars aren't just whispering to him but they will be screaming "get me get me "and I'm pretty sure he will be listening.

Summer Craze Experience

2009-03-22T21:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was Sunday and guess what I did? Went to church? Nope try again. Went to the movies? Nope not that either. Had Sex? Ohhh no definitely not that. If I had sex yesterday then it would probably be a lousy one since I am still barking like a dog every now and again from this blasted cough. Not that I have had sex before while coughing because I even haven't had sex period. Darn see what you did you made me spill. It was suppose to be my deepest secret and besides I'm getting off track with you and your sex talk. Oops sorry witch chef Chay was interrupting me again. Hey just because your kiss turned your prince into a frog doesn't give you the right to be the star all the time. Pahhleeez zip it coz I have a blog to write. Nah ah no zip it I say. No. Nay ohh finally a word she understands. Sorry folks I apologize for witchy. Now where was I?

Oh yes yesterday I was invited by my bestfriend Anding on a beach outing. Mom usually doesn't give her permission when it's beach outing because according to her there would be lots of drinking and merry making and that it might be dangerous to travel back since she is definitely sure the driver would also be drinking. I know a lot of you right now are raising their eyebrows about me needing the permission when I am old enough yakity yak . Well since I am living at home with my mom I respect her rules. And she has very good reasoning why she is apprehensive with outings like these specially for us filipinos. Oh we do so love the booze specially on special occasions not only that though but big on food and music. Any ways here I am rambling again.

We went to a place called Vanyo beach and it is located in Mactan island. It was a despidida party for one of Anding's officemate and a celebration for 2 law graduates. It has been ages since I went to the beach so I was very excited. I love the place and since it was a Sunday there were lots and lots of people. Family get togethers specially now that it is summertime.There were a lot of kids there with their floating devices and some blown out black tires to keep them afloat. They were being rented out by the people who run the place. They paid for the cottage which was 300 pesos for a maximum of 10 persons and the additional are 20 pesos each. There was no time limit so you could stay all day although I didn't quite asked what time they close at night.

We really well most specially me had an awesome time. We ate and ate and chatted about and naturally there was drinking but I didn't touch the beer. There was a german with us and it was lots of fun convincing him to try different foods. There were a lot of people in the water both kids and old alike. Not to worry I took a lot of pictures so I'm gonna share them here.Ok here goes.

I have more pics coming soon. I will be blogging about some of the interesting things I saw there at the beach. Well I'm gonna say tata for now, time to attend to what witchy wants. " Ok witchy your turn to talk" turning around " Witchy yohooo? Now where did that girl go? I bet she is playing with herself again. Playing dress up I mean " Hah you dirty minded you.

An unusual Once Upon a time!

2009-03-19T19:51:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time in a far away kingdom there lived a beautiful witch chef named Chay. She baked the most delicious pastries and cookies in all the land. One day a bad thing happened at the castle not far away where the prince who stole the heart of the fair maiden lived. From the first time she saw the prince that spring morning riding on his handsome steed Ferrari she fell fell in love. She longed to have the prince's attention but alas the prince doesn't even know she existed. And so everytime she bakes she puts all her love and longing in it while she listens to her magical Ipod thus making it so delicious and irresistible to passers by.

Oppps sorry I got carried away. Where was I? Oh yes the bad thing that happened in the castle.News of the King's illness (the prince's father) spread far and wide reaching the humble home of witch chef Chay. She fretted and consulted her magical Dell laptop and began surfing and consulting the elder Witch Chefs. She went on and emailed her fairy friends hoping to get some clue as to the cure for her ahemmm future father in law. Well she saw the Ads posted outside her shop and it said: Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The king is ill and the prince is fretting about worrying . A handsome reward is at hand. That coupled with the smiling image of the prince had witch chef Chay scrambling about.

As she was walking to and fro in her living room awaiting the answers that she has sough then suddenly a loud beep could be heard and then her magical Dell laptop said:
" Witch chef , Witch chef, Whitch chef Chay,
You have mail waiting yonder sky
Your Fairy friend SHYDUB said Hi!
Read now from your magical laptop
Before you go hipity hop "

Witch chef Chay scrambled to get to her magical laptop to see what her fairy friend had to say. The news was good but coated with a long and dreadful warning. To get the cure Fairy shydub said "Witch chef must cross a river filled with gators and crocodiles. Then she has to climb a mountain high to face the dragon who couldn't fly. And on yonder cave she will see will be the cure for the ailing king said she.

"How can I do all these?" she asked and then like a lightbulb an idea was formed.She would bake and bake some goods fit for the gators and crocodiles and dragons too. She slaved all night long baking and forming alas at dawn all is in readiness. She climbed on her faithful steed mercedes benz and off she went in search of the cure.

Not long she found the river where the crocs and gator awaits for her. She whips up her bag to use her first weapon:

They ate and ate and then they choked and died. You want to ask why? C'mon then don't be shy ask me Why? Hmmm Why you asked well the answer is simple although it looks very pretty but the truth is it taste bitter ,yucky and ikky. So the fair maiden crossed the river with glee " Haha one down one to go" said she.

She huff and she puffed as she climbed the mountain high and indeed there the dragon lies. The dragon sniffed and sneezed out fire luckily for witchy she brought her handy fire extinguisher flashlight and blasted out the fire. They squared off the dragon and witchy then suddenly she threw away her next weapon :

Her yummy, chewy and sweet smelling ginger cookies became the death of the fierce dragon. What??? Howww? you might ask. Just sit your ass down and I'll tell you how. Geezz such impatience. Here's what happened. As Witchy took out her cookies the dragon's nose twitched with glee for the dragon likes ginger yes sirree. Witchy threw the cookies over the edge and the dragon lunged to catch the nice looking cookies only forgetting that he couldn't fly and down went the dragon and so witchy said bye bye. She ran and ran inside the cave to finally get the cure to the kings ailment.It was indeed a magical fruit and the sign said :
"Here lies the orange cookie fruit which can cure the king's illness"

Without a doubt in her mind witchy took some fruits and hurried home. Her steed moved at 200mph and didn't stop til she reached the castle. One taste and the king was cured and all rejoiced. The prince then fell down on one knee and said :
"Yo fair maiden will you marry me?" shocked with happiness witch chef chay could only nod.And then the prince gathered her into his arms and they kissed. Pooooof .
" Hey where did the prince go" asked witchy
and then she looked down only to find out her prince turned into a frog.

And there ends the adventure of witch chef chay.

But wait the story doesn't end there here's what happened after courtesy of my friend Buzzing J:

Disappointed, the beautiful and elegant witch chef stomped her feet furiously, cursing her bad luck. After 5 long minutes of expressing her anger, again, Alas, the frog prince disappeared. After looking impatiently everywhere for another 5 long minutes, "Oh well," she thought, "just as well. I'm NOT going to marry a frog!" With a sigh, into the sunset, she galloped away in her expensive steed of the mercedes benz, with the frog prince flattened, and stuck at the sole of her boots.

The End or is it?

Rust away with you!

2009-03-17T19:32:00.000-07:00

I was hunkering to eat cookies yesterday so I thought to myself why don't I bake me some chocolate chip cookies. So off I went to the kitchen to look for my baking sheet, what I saw made me wince and shudder. Come on I dare you to guess. Yup you guessed it right there was a big Rust smack in the middle of the sheet. I was asking myself how and why it got rusty.

I sure do hate cleaning up rust. Often times I use bleach and it's hell on my nostrils not to mention all those chemicals. I sure wouldn't want food to touch it or my hands for that matter. Although I'm not yet married and don't have kids but I am always sort of practicing to be one so I always talk to a lot of mothers about cleaning and health issues so I would always ask them what would be best used in cleaning the home. A lot of them said natural and organic is a must in every household. I am pretty sure now I will be able to find organic rust removers. Since my sister is already married and already a mother naturally I would turn to her for advice. I asked her to recommend me product which is safe to use on things specially my baking wares. She then led me to MyCleaningProducts. All I can say is wow. All those natural ingredients they use would surely infuse all that nature goodness energy into my home . It would be good for my lungs specially my nostrils and what more they have something called the Rusterizer which would make all my rust stain problems disappear in a jiffy. It is like having Ghostbusters but with rust and not Ghost. Not only would it take care of my baking rust problems but it is the answer to my garden rust problems as well. My plants would be singing praises with nature on their side. I am going for that clean and green feeling in my home.

Run for your Livessss! It's BIGFOOT!!!!

2009-03-15T20:32:00.000-07:00

Kah Kah! Hey where did everybody go? They were here one minute and gone the next. (scratching my head) What's that behind those bushes? Hmmm I'm gonna investigate. (walking towards the bush) Oh its a dude. " Hey Man what's up? What's with the shivering and shaking?" I asked the dude. "Um we saw some tracks of big foot , that's why we were running" he answered. I laughed and said " Oh that uhmm no need to panic it was just me. I was running about trying to find the beach. See??It was just my beach flip flops

I like wearing this because it keeps my foot sand free and dry although you have to be careful not to stumble or get it caught on something. And they don't only come in bigfoot style but fishes and and sharks and seahorses too. Since it is summer time here a lot of people are going out to beaches so wearing something like this is very good. "

"Hey (slapping the dude) wake up don't pass out on me" Heheheheh well there goes that story about big foot. Need to find water now to wake the dude up. Poor thing passed out from fright.

The scent of home

2009-03-14T22:38:00.000-07:00

I remember when we were kids that the one spot where we all converge is my grandmother's house. It was there that all kinds of things happened from celebrations to playful games and most specially the food that she prepares for us. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water, my nose flare and my body tingle all over with excitement. My grandmother is so much into gardening that she has lots of flowers around the house. It ranges from orchids to roses or to just simple house plants. Her house would always be filled with the sweet Scent of flowers in bloom as well as the smell of the trees surrounding the house. Whenever I go to her room it would smell of Charlie White, the perfume she often use. It was my grandfather's wedding anniversary gift to her so it is both precious and memorable and it became my favorite scent of all time. Whenever we go and visit it would always give me that sense of belongingness that can only be found at home.

Chic , Trendy Yet Affordable

2009-03-14T21:14:00.000-07:00

My sister and I talk about everything and anything. I guess it's because of the short age gap that we have. We were born almost a year apart and yes when July comes we would have the same age for a week before I turn older so it's kinda like being twins for a week. How cool is that! She knows me so well that she notices every gestures and feelings I have. I have been feeling dizzy, nauseous and been having splitting headaches and I told her about it. She being very intuitive told me it might be due to my eyesight. She thought it would be a very good idea to get me a new pair of eyeglasses. I believe she is right but I don't know where to look . Before I could ask her though she told me that there was an article on New York Times about the affordable eyewear from zenni optical. So off I went surfing on their site and lo and behold I was blown away by the range of eyewear collection that they have. If you are worried about the fashionista in you well don't be because they have eyeglasses that would suit any outfit or mood you have. As I continued to browse the collection I came across this particular eyewear and it was whispering my name. I love how young and refreshing it looks and I bet it would enhance my wonderful features. But don't just take my word for it. See for yourself and believe.

I was just browsing old files here in my computer when I found this old picture I had scanned. It's a picture of one of my family's gatherings. I believe I was in grade 6 when this picture was taken. We were always a happy bunch whenever we get together. We are loud and we talk and laugh a lot.It's always a picnic for us when we go to our grandparent's house even now. We would always make it a habit to go on a diet before we leave for her house because we know that when we get there it would be a non stop eating event. When we have parties it usually starts in the morning and ends at night while constantly talking and eating during that time span. Can you just imagine the amount of food we consume and that's just not one day but in the duration of our stay. Our grandparent's place is like a comfort zone for all of us. A mini reunion always happens on their birthdays so you can always hear the loudness of the music when we dance and the peals of laughter when we chat. I'm grinning from ear to ear as I am writing this blog, those are times you would always keep in your memory forever.

Tie Breaker Chocolate Cake ! Yum

2009-03-08T05:33:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Mom was craving for chocolate cake and she seldom likes chocolate cake so I was really surprised and frantic because I don't have much recipe of chocolate cake since she doesn't like me to bake said type of cake. She really really really wanted to each cake so I scrambled about looking at all of the recipe book I have on chocolate cake. I couldn't seem to find any that she likes.

She wanted me to bake a chocolate cake similar to Orange Brutus' Chocolate monster. I haven't even baked a choco cake before and here she wants that kind of cake. I was in despair at that time and so I went online and searched for a recipe that she would like and I filtered the search with recipes that have photos so she can tell me which one she wants. I finally found one but I didn't know I was gonna place it in my blog so I don't remember the link or whose recipe I used. I tweaked it a bit. I started baking and when it was cooked I had mom taste the cake and she said it was too bitter. So I baked another cake and lessen the cocoa and added more sugar to it. Finally she liked that one.

Then she wanted me to put a filling and it's a problem again because I've never cooked a filling of any kind well except that of pies because I know some. Then thankfully I remembered My aunt's recipe of chocolate cream boat tart and so I used that recipe. When it was done she didn't like it because there is a certain smell she didn't like and so I decided to tweak the cream filling recipe and she liked the result. Whew that was a lot of work. I was suppose to just slice the one cake in half and put the filling in but I didn't want to waste the other cake and so I decided to just sandwich the cake together. Done.

So I thought I was finally done then Mom wanted me to put icing on top and so I scavenge my recipes and found one and so I tried it. Topped it on the cake and prayed that I'm done.
Horrayyy finally I'm done.Mom didn't quite taste it until later that night in her room. She sliced it and took a bite and she praised it to high heaven... She said it is very delicious. She was the one who named it tie breaker chocolate cake because she said the bitterness and sweetness of both the cake blended in and the filling and icing made it taste even better. If you know what I mean.Warning though mom couldn't sleep with all that chocolate in it I just thought you should all know.

So here is the recipe in case any of you would want to try it. And ohh pics too.

I used 9x6 pan
Filling:
2 t all purpose flour
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup + 1 T light corn syrup
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 T butter

= mix together in a pan with a whisk and then turn on heat stir constantly until thick then add the butter. (depends on you how thick or thin you want your filling to be)

Bottom Cake :Preheated 300 F
1 c all purpose flour
11/8 cup sugar
1/4 c cocoa
1 t baking soda
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup oil
3/4 t vanilla
1/2 c boiling water
= just mix everything in a mixer then pour on greased and lined with wax paper pan. Slow bake for an hour til toothpick or knife inserted comes out clean.

Top Cake:
same ingredients except for the measurement of sugar and cocoa

1 c sugar
1/4+1/8 c cocoa

= baked same way.

Let cake cool completely before putting icing

Chocolate icing:
1 pc. egg
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c flour
1/2 c cocoa
1 c water
1 c evaporated milk
3 T butter (to be added at the end)

mix together and then cook until thick or which ever consistency you like.

Thanks Beth!

Since we moved to a new place a lot has happened to the blogging side of my life. I wasn't able to blog as much as I would have liked because of the looking and the moving. Because of that event my entrecard account was deleted but I wrote them about it and they understood my reason and had my account reinstated but I had a big problem the blog I linked to it didn't come back with the reinstated one and I have decided beforehand that I will use this blog Ihave right now to be my main blog. My sister even paid for the design to be changed into a more interesting one.

I wrote again and then my guardian angel came swooping down and her name is Beth the girlie geek. She was and still is helping me out. It has been fixed now thanks to all the effort she put in. To my angel a big thanks for the support and the time spent on helping out little ole me. More power to you and to entrecard. I hope that even after all the glitches has been solved that we can become friends.HEAR! HEAR!
