And 'tis the season of christmas parties!!!! will be having one later :))

Weather and rashes

"hindi na gagaling yan..."
"the only solution will be kapag may nag-appear na rashes, pahiran mo na ng gamot"

sigh. why do i have to be gifted with super-sensitive skin?

ala lang

Busy with baking.

Needs to get some sleep tonight. No baking.

But a part of me wants to try this chocolate brownie recipe.

Bahala na si batman!

Brownies

It's the start of the long weekend. Im thinking of what will I bake for these days.
Since my son requested for a brownie, i started my Saturday with this.


Later, or maybe tomorrow, i'll try to bake some cookies.

Experiments in the kitchen

It all started with Puto. Then for our annual trick or treat for the kids at the village, I made chocolate lollipops (with rice crispies).
Now these...






It's beginning to be my hobby every weekend. It makes me and my kids happy. :)

pinagkakaabalahan

Matagal tagal na din akong hindi sumusulat sa blog na ito.

Ang rason?
Una, dahil sa Facebook.
Pangalawa, dahil sa mga kung anu-anong eksperimento ko sa kusina. Magluto ng kung anu-ano. Refrigerated cake, puto, banana bread, gumawa ng mga tsokolate na lollipop (sabi nila na Php5.00 hanggang 10.00 ang bentahan nun) at marami pang iba.

Malapit lapit na din ang pasko. Puwede ko ito pagkakitaan (yung pagluluto at hindi yung facebook, ;p)

MRT

Lagi na lang may nakakatuwang eksena kapag sumasakay ako dun. Kagaya kanina sa may Cubao station.

Female passenger 1: gaga ka! bakit ba usog ka ng usog!
Female Passenger 2: e mas gaga ka pa la! Nakita mo na may mga sumasakay.
F1: umaayos-ayos ka nga ng pwesto. Nananadya ka ata e.
F2: arte mo. gaga
F1: mas gaga ka.
F2: mas maarte ka, magtaxi ka na lang.
F1: ikaw ang magtaxi!
... and so on and so forth...

Yung ibang mga pasahero, natatawa na lang. Yung iba naman, sinasabihan sila na "magtaxi na lang kayo, pareho kayong maarte" or "bumili kayo ng sarili ninyong MRT para kayo lang ang nakasakay" meron din nagsabi na "ano ba, ang ingay ingay niyo, natutulog ako... heto at nagising tuloy ako sa dakdakan ninyong dalawa!"

Ako, kasama sa mga natawa at napapailing. Konting sakripisyo lang kasi parepareho lang kaming pasahero. To think na sa coach ng Female kami nakasakay. Sus. Pinoy nga naman. Kasi naman maluwag luwag pa din sa may gitna, sa may pintuan sila nag sisiksikan.

...

A sad day. :(

a change

It has been more than two years since i had you. And you have proven your worth for staying with me that long. I took care of you and promised myself that you will be the last. But nothing in this world is permanent.

Good bye my 6300.

Hello E-Series!















I still have to get used to your QWERTY pad though.

memory gap

Today I turned 34.

And today marks the day that I cannot remember where I placed my eyeglasses! Darn. Don't ask me how. Hindi ko din alam. Basta ang alam ko suot ko siya kahapon when i went out malling. This morning, when we are going to hear mass, i cannot find it anymore. Must have left it sa isa sa mga fitting rooms ng boutique na pinuntahan ko. Or must have dropped it when i went to the car to get an umbrella. Kasi when we are were about to go home, it rained. How did i dropped it? I don't know, maybe tinanggal ko (kasi nga hirap din yung umuulan tapos pahid ka ng pahid sa salamin mo) at inilagay sa car seat tapos natabig ko. i just don't know. Magulo ang isipan ko sa kakaisip kung saan ko naiwan or nahulog yung salamin ko. Paano na ito bukas pag pasok ko? Isip isip. Uminom dapat ng Enervon Prime of mag take ng Memory enhancer na vitamins. :)) Susme, bata ko pa ata para dun.

Revenge

For the many times that you snapped at me.
For the many times that you never kept your promise.
For the many times you left me out.

I will make sure that you will feel my wrath. And you will be sorry for it.

tis the season

i have cold and i am at work. I do hope my officemates' immune system with colds is strong enough to withstand my continuous sneezing and blowing of nose. I can't go on leave. I have a lot of work. sigh.

stomach in, chest out

That is how I was trained in my high school days during CAT training. Until now, i keep that in mind. When people say that "bakit wala ka bil-bil?" i tell them that "marunong lang ako magtago". Meaning i do that stomach in thingy. It's quite hard mind you. But then, that helps me to sort of fool people that I don't have bil-bil. Honestly, i wanted to hit the gym to. I just don't know when will I have the time to do it. With a mall hour office hours, i wouldn't be able to squeeze the gym schedule.

Now I am so stuffed from the lunch that we had at Century Park. The stomach in, chest out will not help in hiding those handles. Sigh.

H1N1 issue

My kids are freaking out from the A(H1N1) virus. I have to explain that there is nothing to be scared with it. I told them common facts on the prevention like washing of hands, covering the mouth/nose when you sneeze or cough, regular intake of vitamin C.. blah blah blah. And NO MALLING for the meantime (saves me from extra-ordinary expenses, hehehe)

With the latest addition of infected persons coming from a nearby school, i was wondering what will my kids' school be doing. I heard that their school is coordinating with another school (within the area) if they will be suspending classes for 10 days just to be sure.

I just wish that the virus will just go away.

hangin

Noong nakaraang araw, hindi kami pinauwi ng maaga.

Hindi naman daw kasi tuloy-tuloy ang ulan.

Mga 5 minuto bago kami umuwi, bumuhos ang napakalakas na ulan.

Atat na ako makauwi kaya nag pedicab ako hanggang taft.

Pag baba ko ng pedicab, sumalubong sa akin ang napakalakas na hangin.

Akala ko sa pelikula lang nangyayari yung slow motion ang movement mo.

Aba, slow motion talaga ako. Gustuhin ko man lumakad ng mabilis, hindi maaari.

Pinipigilan ng napakalakas na hangin ang aking paglalakad.

Ang kinatatakot ko lang nun ay baka may yero na lumilipad lipad at tamaan ako.

O di kaya, ako ang tangayin nun hangin.

DSL

I wonder who has the best internet dsl connection for the different telephone/mobile companies. We are currently looking for one because we are setting up wifi connection at the store.

Will the residential promo with at least 1Mbps or 2 Mbps be enough?

Lamok

I hate mosquitoes. I hate mosquitoes. I hate mosquitoes.

Hindi tuloy ako makapag skirt dahil sa kanila. When the bite, they will leave a dark mark on my skin even if i didn't scratch the part that was bitten. Sheez! And I am the only one in my family that has this this with mosquitoes.

I hate you! When will you become extinct? I hate you!

Kape

Last night as I was on my way home, i suddenly have this craving for coffee. I paid the fare and was imagining that I was ordering mocha or latte or a regular brewed, pressing the lid to my lips and taking a sip. Heaven.

But that was last night and it didn't materialize. Why? Tinamad ako. Get off at SM, walk for about 5-6 minutes to a coffee shop, place your order, pay and wait for them to prepare it. Then head home. It's already 8 o'clock my feet are already sore from the walking I did at work. I wanted to take off my shoes and walk barefoot.

Now I have to be contented with a McDonald's coffee. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't like their coffee. Paminsan minsan dumadating yung mga panahon na naghahanap ka ng ibang variation ng kape.

Must drink coffee. Later.

Sago at Gummy bears

I therefore conclude that hindi ko pwedeng kainin simultaneously ang Sago (from Zagu, Orbits, Sago't gulaman or any other drinks or food with sago) at gummy bears. Hindi dahil sa hindi sila kasundo ng sikmura ko pero after ko kumain nun, pakiramdam ko, gusto ko silang isuka lahat.

Karma

What will you do if you receive a message from your boss that you will not report anymore to work? And then you will learn that your boss has already hired somebody to replace you? Sad isn't it?

An accountant of a sister-company will be receiving that message by Monday. Nakakalungkot. Kasi isa ako sa nakaka alam na tatangalin na siya at meron na siyang kapalit. Call it Karma for her. Bad karma to be exact. Last year (i think mga ganitong panahon din iyon) siniraan niya yung leasing personnel sa boss nila. Tinanggal ang pobre. Buti na lang napatunuyan nun tinanggal na hindi totoo ang pinaparatang sa kanya. Hindi na nga lang siya bumalik. Kinuha na lang niya ang separation pay niya.

Ngayon, bumabalik sa kanya yung ginawa niya sa co-employee niya. Bad kasi siya.
