After a long tiring week, I deserve a reward for myself right?

Before going home today, I stop by at gateway mall to get the antidote for my tired being….mango walnut blizzard. Yummm!!!!It was soft, creamy soft blend treat. Just perfect.

Aside from the DQ enticement I am just glad it’s Friday now thus I planned to sleep all day this Saturday. I miss sleeping….I was deprived doing this as I went home late from work. You could just imagine how my eyes look right now. I could be mistaking’ as garfield’s cousin lolz….

Oh tomorrow, I wanted to bake something, a cupcake perhaps. I bought a wilton lettering set at gourdo’s. Cannot wait to use it. I will post how it look likes..maybe later.

So everyone happy weekend. See yah!

Oh Jane!

Teka..nagamit ko na ang larawang ito ah :)

Mahilig ba kayo magbasa ng nobela?
Ako oo. Bata pa lang nakahiligan ko na magbasa ng mga maikling kwento at nobela. Isa si Jane Austen sa hinahangaan kong manunulat. Siya ay isinilang noong Disyembre 16, 1775. Isa sa mga nabasa kong Classic novel nya ay ang Persuasion na isinulat noong 1817. Ito ay isa sa dalawang huling naisulat nya. Bagamat may kalumaan ang kwento at lubhang malalalim ang mga salitang engles na ginamit….naibigan ko pa rin ito at tinayaga na tapusin ang pagbabasa nito. Ito ay kwentong pag-ibig na bagamat may kalumaan, alam ko na makakarelate ang sinumang inlove :)

Hay…talagang patunay….gaano man kaluma ang kwentong pag ibig, ito’y nakakakilig pa rin….subukan nyong itanong ang kwentong pag-ibig ng mga lola at lolo nyo o kaya ng inyong magulang…sigurado yan…hindi nyo mapipigilan ang mag sabi ng “uy sweet”.

Ito po ang aking lahok para sa linggong ito sa Litratong Pinoy na may temang Luma na!

Isang Magandang Bagong Huwebes sa lahat!

Organize here October 6, 2008

Okay so another weekend is over. As usual I was busy doing housechores, keeping my lil home neat as possible, cooked meals for two people (my husband and I of course), browsed the net looking for anything new. Hmmmm what else??? Oh we did the grocery this afternoon as our fridge is becoming an empty box.
I found a neat freezer food keeper. It will keep your raw fish and/or meat fresh and neatly place inside the fridge, it will make easier to get that thing out because it wont stick inside as what I always experince when using a ziplock plastic as food keeper.

I so love this purchase :)

Aside from that I also bought airtight containers for my baking stuffs such flour, baking soda and other, powdery stuffs. I wanted to be organize lolz. Sorry no pictures for now, I have not load the stuffs inside yet. :)

So that’s it for now and let’s all start the week right. How??? Well in my case, I should be at work early that means I have to go to bed now. See you all

Last Friday…I went home late as were rushing something for our deadline. I was really tired! I was just so glad, hubz fetched me at work so that lessen the tiredness.

As we arrived home, I did not expect that there was something waiting for me. A package from General Santos sent by friend Sheng of Anything Goes perked me up.

I was so giddy to open the package but of course I waited because I got to take pictures, hehehe :)

Inside was a lovely bookmark with my name…. Sheng you made this? I love it so much! A pouch cointaning the goodies she personally made and a card with a very thoughtful message.

She also included a copy of the kid magazine she is working at as a researcher and editor. Wow Sheng, this magazine is marvelous and very informative. It’s a good read for kids ( and adult like me). I’ll give this copy to my niece after I finish. I know she will love reading it!

Here are the handmade goodies. I love the expandable bracelet. It’s so me, very ethnic!

Thanks Sheng. You really made me a happy soul! :)

Love yah!

LP: Aking Kompyuter na walang buhay October 2, 2008

Ito ang aking laptop noong ito ay bumigay. Badtrip!!!!
May rush sideline pa naman akong gagawin at i-susubmit na mga drafting works. Buti na lang na-isave ko ang mga dokumento sa aking flash drive. Hay hirap talaga pag nagloko ang ating mga kompyuter di ba? Kaya importante rin na marunong tayo mag back-up para sa mga pagkakataon na ganito hindi tayo mag aalala sakaling hindi na ma-revive ang mga importanteng files natin. :)

Laking pasalamat ko din dahil ang aking esposo ay natutunan na ring mag ayos ng laptop. Actually, napilitan siya kasi medyo mahal din magpaayos ng laptop, eh sayang naman ang galing niya (oo mahal magaling ka para sa kin, hehehe) sa pag troubleshoot ng desktop if ang laptop ko ay hindi nya kayang ayusin!

O sya ako’y mag brobrowse pa dadalawin ko rin ang ibang lahok sa Litratong Pinoy Gusto ko rin malaman ang kanilang mga kompyuter stories.

Happy Huwebes na lang po sa lahat!

Its a holiday here, I was expecting a great bonding day with hubby but he was asked to report to work today. Oh well…guess I will just make myself busy cleaning the house.

So I started my morning calling my favorite food chain to order our breakfast as per husband’s request. I phoned around 7:35am. I was expecting our food be delivered at around 8:00 to 8:15am. I waited and waited, then around 8:15am the phone rang, a call from that food chain informing me that our food would be delayed for 25minutes because of some reasons….What!!!!!
I told them that they are already late. But okay since hubs did asked for that delivery It will be okay for me.
I then kept myself busy bloghopping when I realized it was already 9:00am….WHAT, WHAT!!!!!!

I remembered the lady I talked to said it will be late for 25 minutes. I computed the time and it was so late. I was really upset about it. Poor service indeed. I called their call center to complain. The agent said they will forward my concern with the branch manager. Then after ten more minutes the delivery arrived.
So guess what I did?

a. I did not open the door and let the delivery knock all day!
—Nah!!!I was thinking about this but it’s a childish idea, hahaha!!!!

b. I open the door and gladly get my order and pay delightfully.
—As much as I wanted to do this, I just cannot let this poor service be tolerated! To be honest, their branch has the worse delivery service ever! (yeah I am mean)

c. I refuse to get my orders and told the delivery guy that they have a poor service. It’s not the only time they’ve done this.
—-If you pick this, you are right!
Though I love their breakfast I decided not to get it. They should learn how to be on time. I can understand if they will keep me wait for 45 minutes (okay an hour will be fine too depending on my mood) but hey a hour and a half…that’s a different story.

Yes…I did not get my orders so did husband got upset too?

No actually…because I just made breakfast myself.

I dash to the kitchen and had franks (I steamed them), poached eggs and yummy garlic rice. I may not cook it the MD way but they are equally deliciuos but less the fat! hahaha

That’s how my Wednesday Rainy morning starts. Though it was not really a nice start, I manage to keep my day kicking. I’ll bake cookies later on!

I’ll post it later. For now, let’s just enjoy the day. :)

Husby was not feeling well this morning, I supposed it was due to the crazy weather we have here so he decided to skipped work. I have lots of workloads waiting on my table this Monday so I cannot stay home all day, I just went halfday and prepared a nice breakfast and left a good lunch so he could eat something while I am away.

While I am at work I keep calling him from time to time to check if he ate already or how is he feeling? It really made me guilty of leaving him at home alone. Sigh…

So when the clock showed that it was time to go home, I was about to carry my bag when my superior texted me to upload a file for our US office. Great!!!!!

It was so irritatting, you know the feeling when your mind is set to do something when another something hinders. hmp!

Okay…I just counted one to ten to keep myself calm, after 35 minutes I was done uploading and documenting everything. I called husby again to tell him I am ready to go home. He replied with a child like voice….. take care and go home quick please ….awwwww.

After an hour I was home, funny it did not rain today…..I was carrying a paper bag with these goodies;

I bough bunch of bananas and a box of caramel bar which is his favorite. Glad I was home and it does makes magic…he was feeling much better now! :)

Okay….. so tomorrow will be a brand new day. Hope it will be another fine sunny day as I hate going home with my feet all wet. Hahaha!

How was everybody. Hope nobody got sick?

LP: Puti at Itim ko’y isang pangarap! September 25, 2008

Cupcakes

Sa Puti ka ba o sa Itim, pili na!

Ito ang kauna unahang cupcake na nagawa ko, tingin ko early 2008 yan. Hindi pa ako marunong mag gawa ng icing or frosting that time kaya simpleng cupcakes lang ang nagbibigay kasiyahan sa akin. Dark Chocolate at Vanilla cupcakes ang aking naging basic cupcakes. from there, natutunan ko na rin yung iba’t ibang flavors. Pero para sa asawa ko ang 2 basics na ito ang hit para sa kanya :)

Noon pa man nakakahiligan ko na ang magluto dangan kasi ang nanay ay may maliit na canteen business. Then after ilang years, nadiscover ko na mahilig din pala ako magbake. Pero hindi ganun kaseryoso ako noon kasi nga wala akong oven. Yung aming very efficient microwave with bake function ang gamit ko. Kaso madalas akong mapaso o kaya naman madalas matapon yung aking batter kasi maliit. Kaya naisipan ng aking mabait at mapag mahal na asawa na bilhan ako ng oven. Yehey!!!!Kaya mula noon…..linggo lingo, nag babake ako ng cake, brownies o kaya naman cookies. Pati nga pandesal pangarap kong hurnuhin. :)

Sabi nga kapatid ko, hindi ba daw ako nag sasawa sa ginagawa ko, sagot ko naman, aba hindi. I find baking a form of relaxation, naks! So ayun, nung pinatikim ko sya ng chocolate cake aba!aba! nag iba ang aura nya. Ito na ang sinabi nya;

Tuloy mo yan ate, magtatayo tayo ng business

from there, dun ko naisip ito;


oo nga noh. Gusto ko yun!

Soon magkakaroon ako nyan. Sariling bakeshop. Pag nagkaroon ako may libre ka promise, hehehe!

Ay maalala ko, ito pla ang lahok ko para sa linggong ito sa Litaratong Pinoy

Happy Huwebes sa lahat!

Celebrations….
I love celebrations. Whatever it is. say Christmas, New Year, Birthdays, Graduation, An addition to the family, A successful exam, a great interview or any reasons to celebrate.
I love taking part in the preparation. Yes it is tiring but after the party itself, it is fulfilling to know that I somehow made the celebrant happy!

So yes….
We celebrated mom’s birthday last Saturday and feasted on the great food we prepared. We had the Pork kare-kare , Beef Caldereta, Steam fish, Pancit, Lumpiang Shanghai, the cake I bake and my sister prepared Maja Blanca. Mom was so happy with the preparation we did though she cooked most of the food. hahaha!
When dinner was served, I was too excited to start eating. I enjoyed the kare-kare with bagoong..and the spicy kaldereta, oh heavenly. It’s not that often that I eat this kind of food, you could imagine how giddy I was. :)

Oh NO!!!!!!!
I gained 3 pounds, after that uhhhohhhh. Bad Jeanny!!!!
But hey I can’t resist these yummies.

——————————-
Another thing to celebrate….

my sister’s boyfriend was there. I could not help looking at them. It reminds me of our days where Dj was still my bf. Mushy!!!!hahahah
Anyway, sister and A are such a cute couple. I did not post their pic, my sister will kill me if I’ll do that. Actually she did not know that I am sharing her love story here, she knew I have blogs but she really don’t know it’s url, hehehe….
sorry sis, I am just so excited for you! Just in case you might find this blog, rush on the wedding Bells please!!!

and finally!!!!!

Just today the 22nd of September, hubby and I celebrated our 6th years as sweethearts. :)
Imagine we’ve first found out that we we’re in love 6 years ago. Awesome! Love you labs. Thanks for the rocking gift. I so love it!

Okay, okay enough with all the excitements!
as a wrap-up, my weekend was a great one as usual.

How was yours by the way?
and oh….what’s the next celebration you are preparing? How was it?
Hope your enjoying it. :)

Hello!!!!

This is Biggy, that was what I heard Ms. Jeanny called me when she took my photo. If you could not recognize me, I am brightly staring at you. She called me biggy because of my big bright eyes. Can you see how my eyes are lovely done?
Ms. Jhen is not available right now so she asked me to say a nice hello and she wishes all her online friends a great TGIF…. Hmmmm…What does that stand for anyway?

Oh well whatever it is, I know it’s going to be a blast!

So see you all very soon as she promise to write something nice about me (she do not break promises right?) keeping my fingers cross that is If I could just move a bit from here.

This is biggy again and I am out of here.

ginintuan1

Brgy. Patola Nueva Ecija

Ang bansang Pilipinas ay isa sa may pinakamayan na lupain na pinag kukunan ng ating pangunahing pagkain gaya ng bigas. Kaya nakakalungkot isipin na nung mga nakaraan buwan tayo ay nagkaroon ng rice shortage at kinakailangan pa nating umangkat ng bigas mula sa ibang bansa eh kung tutuusin dati rati tayo ay isa sa mga nag aangkat ng bigas sa iba’t bang panig ng daigdig.

Gayun pa man, positibo ako hinggil dito dahil ang mga Pilipino ay sadyang masisikhay, mga maparaan. Hinding hindi hahayaan na magutom ang kanya kanyang mga pamilya.
Alam ko sa sususnod na dumalaw ako sa ginintuang lupaing iyan, mas marami ng mga mga berde akong matatanaw. :)

Magandang Araw ng Huwebes.
Tara ating minahin ang ibang ginto na mula sa aking mga katoto sa LitratongPInoy. :)
