Hello everyone, it's Friday once again. Tomorrow I will have my first ob-gyn visit. I suppose to go to La Puente to visit my friend and bring some yummy foods from the market there (you know Pinoy foods) which I crave. Gosh, I so long to visit tomorrow but the weather broadcast seems do not cooperate. Yep, it will rain hard tomorrow and on Sunday it cannot be. So I have to wait one week more. :( Though, it is fine. At least I have something to look forward to. He he! And so, how's your Friday? I am going to share my food trip today. I was aiming to post my very food trip, "bihon/sotanghon" or bean thread noodles I made lately in the morning with turkey and my "embutido" homemade to its mixed. Ooh well, I am kinda lazy to get my phone which is on the bedroom. So I have to share it on the next day though it's not FTF no more. Ooh well. Pardon. :(

| Beef Soup with Cabbage |
Nonetheless since this food I am sharing was my two days dinner though picture was month ago but it looks as the same as this. Only at first day, the beef I mixed with were bokchoy and Chinese cabbage whilst on the second (same beef with bones, just added water and some spices) I just put Chinese cabbage which it don't bother me, I had an awesome perfect dinner that time. It surprised me since I do not like eating meat days or weeks already but with it, I eat like a pig. Waaaa! Pigging-out! :-) I so love eating the Chinese cabbage and the beef. I put beef cubes by the way, though raw beef is present. It adds gourmet! ;-) Happy food trip!

Biking is one way of exercising. It is a great hobby for oneself. A great family bonding too. I used to have a bicycle before when I was in the Philippines. One day whiles going back from Los Angeles proper to get our ordered foods, I saw a bicycle in a bike rack, it maybe a yakima bike rack (but not so sure as I was not able to read such as it was far, it cannot be read from afar) and it impresses me at the same time reminiscing the fun I had with my bike before. All I did was just smile and look at the bike on the car's back. Such a good feeling reminiscing the good 'ole happy memories, biking how many miles with friends in a cool outfit. ;-)

It is a normal way that we grow. But when time it is not our height, hair, toes or nails anymore grows but our weight, still it is fine. The only not fine if we become overweight, as in if we cannot control our body weight anymore. That will be hard as hard as I experienced just like in my one week chills. Yes, folks like those who cannot control the growth of their body weight anymore should seek for a professional health or some tried weight loss pills maybe.
Do your best and am cheering on you. All the best!

Acne is started as pimples (or some called it zits) and then for long time it has not been healed it developed into an acne. Just like an image below. Such woman (guess who this woman is?) has a chin pimple. If you enlarge it (through clicking any image you like to make it big), you will see more if it is not that visible to you now. I am not a doctor, dermatologist or such doctors alike but I know what pimple is and talking about what I said, I observe it on myself. I am just talking about general term that when an acne would not be healed, surely it will develop an unpleasant physique especially if it is located in any visible to a person's eye. Hence, acne treatment that works which is reliable, proven and tested is essential during this time of period, so it won't develop unto more acne.
What do you think, do I make sense? You know that being tidy is one of the requirement of a pleasing personality. So when someone is concern of his/her physical appearance, he/she makes sure that pimple should not be taken for granted.

Can you tell there are errors (in terms of arrangement of utensils and obviously one food) in an image below? Yes, there are four mistakes! Can you find it? I should have to say, obviously! Sorry about it, I ran out of time that was why I just put it as what you see. I know it right after it was arranged (the day after such actually since I already have time to search it out how. Hehehe! Sorry about this.)
And so about what I displayed above (you can enlarge through clicking the image), it was what I prepared on Christmas Day. The highlight was a hamonado-de-pinya or pineapple ham since that was my first cook of such recipe. I got such recipe from my maternal aunt-in-law which before Christmas of two years ago, I thought of how tasty her ham was when I was still there in Philippines. She usually cooked and served it during fiesta but since there is no fiesta here in USA and ham is the main food during Christmas then I planned and got her recipe through text and call. Ha! What a silly me. After that, I was not satisfied since I want to see a video or picture how it was being made. You know, ingredients are not cheap and I do not want to messed it or wasted. I was intimidated of my curiosity actually. And when I went to the wet market to buy such pork upper leg, I found nothing just enough for three or four people, it was big so I decided not to buy. Until Christmas 2010 came, still such pork upper leg could found nowhere as the size I wanted. And so I settle of small one which fit to my standard which do not have skin just few fats (I wanted the fats and the skin as well) but that was fine. And so that was it. I also baked two cakes (red velvet cake and carrot cake from Betty Crocker) which ended up looks like only one and haven't artistically completely done. But it ended up taking off the frosting as DH preferred it nothing, too much sugar is no good. For some other foods in there (other than I mentioned lately) were ready-made barbecue chicken, broiled catfish, Christmas-sy decorated cupcakes, fruit cocktail and cheese breads. Together with the foods are martinelli and sprite for the drinks. Let's eat and Cheers!
And this is my Food Trip this Friday! (Again sorry for the arrangement of the utensils and the undone cake)

Haizzt if only how hard to upload I would not upload it. Ha ha ha! Joke. I just want to have an outlet how uneasy uploading it on FB. Ha ha ha! Only five pics per batch can be uploaded and sometimes the connection won't cooperate. Am just glad that after this computer has been reformatted, it is already in good working condition. Talking about pictures to be uploaded, yeah, if only it can be better uploaded into 20 or 25 then it not hard on my thought of having it seen. But then I also have some responsibilities and other works waiting. So either by waiting or I have to work on my stuff to do and leave the on-going upload pics and eventually I will know when it starts (or sometimes I would not know because I cannot focus more if it already ends. Which is which? I have to decide more and to think it hard. :)) Oops not laughing it out loud huh! He he..

I am just sharing one of my favorite dish which was prepared during my thanksgiving celebration four days ago. Yes, I celebrated thanks giving here same as thanksgiving date in USA. I never thought it is of exact day, I did not even plan it as thanksgiving but the thought is really is. Well, but not until I have seen a neighbor in Gingoog City commented in the Facebook wall of my sister that I celebrated the occasion here in Philippines particularly in Gingoog City, at my extended immediate family, father's place.

| blue marlin serviche ("kinilaw malasugi") |
An image above is what the title is. The picture may not that good but the taste and actuality is. No other picture I got so to give a hint, this is it. :-) Yes, that is one of my favorite dish. My father and brother made that. If am not mistaken blue marlin or "malasugi" fish is the best one when it comes to that dish. Then rice and soft-drink after wards. Yummy! For sure, my Philippine vacation is not complete without this. I bet women and men loves this.

I was like huh! Okay, it was January this year I had my hair cut, shaped V, and highlight then treatment. And then months pass-by as it is time to have it cut at least twice a year, I long to let it cut for some few inches but then it turned-out into "procrastination", ha ha ha! And it was only lately that I had it done. I cannot stand such without any cut, just even let the lines or the pattern followed just to make it a bit short or again just some few inches.
This time, no more fancy hair treatment. I just had it cut and period. All what the hair cutter/groomer could do was just to follow the hair pattern to which I was carrying for 10 months and she did it. The good thing is I walk around the saloon places and found a good deal, from 15 bucks on my "suki", I had it only for five bucks. Ha ha ha! What a deal about payment but not so good when talking about how she did it and the ambiance was not that good. Well, it is okay for me because I was just there for how many minutes and I got what I paid for. So that is it! And oops, she did not also let me pay for a tip. Ha ha ha! Well, it was actually a promo so I grab it, good for me! Just be happy then. He he he.. muahhh!
By the way, no picture for my new hair but I will show you then. It is just that I have to dig-in the pics. Next time folks!~kisses~

You may think am obsessed with chicken gizzard adobo but loo and behold, it is not that much. Okay, it is. :-) Though I know Americans do not like this and some told they use this for their dogs. I do not care because I like it! I do not know but that is what they think. Well, let them be. They do not mean it anyway (well, unless if they mean it the way what you think, the negative way). If you know I also have a posting of cooked chicken gizzard before and yes it is of the same style of cook, adobo. Only that the first one, I let all its spices melt but this time, I put lengthy slices too at the time it is about to cook or removed from stove.
How do you like it, or do you?

Nope, I don't have new shoes though I want to have one now. :-) This lady behind this blog just pointing out how she love having many shoes and I guess you know why. If not then dig-in on the search bar (above the very recent post or below Google Friend Connect app) and type shoes then you will be seeing many choices under "This blog" . Now you know. :-D I presume most women love shoes, don't you? That is why whenever I shop, I would always go to shoes women's section or else I cannot find what I want. Don't you dare to tell me what size I am because I will tell you directly, size seven (7) for US/American size. ;-) It makes our journey (literally) ease with it anyway, don't you think? Have a great one!

Sooner or later I have to accept the fact that I could have wrinkles. It may not be visible for a person aged 30 or 30+ but that is all about it. Eye wrinkles are on-the-spot. We talk a person through our eyes, so how can we hide it? We can hide it anyway. It just take some guts and financial. Thanks to science and beautiful mind as it occupies its precious time to invent how to remedy such wrinkles. Okay we will not talk about bucks as it is priceless if one wish being wrinkle-free will be done. Some use eye wrinkle cream for it. If you plan to get it, it is advisable to read for its eye wrinkle cream reviews so you will also know how others view about it. There are also folks undergo surgery but many uses creams. If that time will come for me of having eye wrinkles, I really need a some remedy for it so I am still as young as ever. :-) I hope I could have the guts. Wish me luck (or good luck to us) then. :-)

Everyone need to eat or else several days of not eating will lead to something (and you know what that something is, I presume). Ooh yeah, I have an appetite of eating viand with rice. When I eat, I eat a lot! I could just only secretly whine to myself afterward. But "what can I do?" , that is the big question. I may not need weight lose pills this time but maybe (hopefully not) in the long run. :( I salute (and always be) to those folks especially to those married ones, who maintained their ideal body weight. I could just imagine how hard they get to maintained it. And also to those successful diet through taking up diet pills. I always heard and comprehend, it is just a matter of being goal-oriented, self-discipline, cooperative time, knowledge and power. Oops did I say power? Financial power, that is. Ooh well. I believe if one make things happen, it is of big possibility it will be realized. :-) As it has been said "the journey of thousand miles begins with a single step" . Broad you may think but when you feel you can get it, then go for it! Remember trusting our heart with our brain is the best! :-)

I can only remember one word as one online plurk friend of mine (Sakura) said and told as Tues as Choose as in Tuesday of Choose-day! It has more to it as it is a sentence (or rather sentences) but one thing I know, logically, we have to choose this day to be happy! As in choose this day to be happy, lovely and lively! Okay, not only Tuesday but throughout the whole week but Tuesday is more than to it as it sounded as rhyme on the two words few letters (Tues/Choose). Despite of the obstacles, we just have to choose what would make us happy (responsibly). It is great to work hard if we know there would be him/her/them who will appreciate despite the hardships. Well, hardships is always there, we just have to deal it. As Te Shaw's word and I define it on my own as we just have to embrace it as we embrace the good one happenings. It will go over down as there would always be rainbow after the rain. As long as we know what would make our hearts go fonder, then that is it! Keep the love (all kinds of love like filial love, friendship love, paternal, maternal, special kind of love, and all alike) and optimism burning!
Okay, that is all about it. I have to go now wash the clothes and few stuffs I bought yesterday for woman's need and will do some other chores whilst waiting for laundry machine to stop. God bless you all (as always)! :-) ~hugs&kisses~

It was how many weeks I was not able to print photos to give to my sweet step daughter. She sent me pictures telling it is for me though my DH is also entitled of it (of course aside from it is her daughter) as we are couple. Well, it was such a nice feeling thinking about giving regards and some hi and hello on the phone through her dad. She even sent (first time she sent for me and for her dad, usually a greeting card) us gifts from her savings and she said it was being sent with love. It is humbly given since the gifts was awesome from bath and body works. Not just two but a large flat rate USPS box for the two of us (DH and I). Okay, it arrived after DH and I's anniversary. :-) Now with it were pictures too and a card, without happy anniversary but just a gift. It was cool and sweet, for me. If it is not for you, then I do not know how you call it. Now, it was already weeks have passed contemplating about my running of ink and some busy stuffs. I am planning to have those pictures to be printed to send to her through online printing, in this way I could also print the others for album safe keeping. It also good for professional print. All I can then do is upload those pics and l instruct how I would like it to be printed or how many pieces each of those pictures. Hemm.. now tell me if it is not a good decision then. All I wanna have to do for the meantime then is to see my shell of savings for the printing jobs. I have to do more counting back and see how many could I came up.

First, it is a great feeling to have a diamond (be it as a ring, earring, or alike) but one has to think that it is impractical to buy it which in fact do not even have some bucks to fulfill one's need. But if one has a budget more than for a need, then why not buy it, right? After all, money are made for buying. At least one have some investment for future at the same time a person is happy for what he had gone, for beauty accessories for special and important occasion too! Though usually only jewelry store or a rich investor can buy wholesale diamonds but we never know some wealthy highly respected ones would buy it. It would be awesome. I know women mostly wanted diamonds than men. Who don't? Hehe. But due to financial matter, only some husband could give it. Thanks for the wife (or girlfriend) too for understanding the financial matter. Anyway, I may just want to wish perhaps one day my husband could win a lotto, I could then own or perhaps one of the investor of a jewelry store. Who knows! May he win (wishful thinking)! :)

What do you think will make a good ambiance of a house when it has its floor made of tiles? Unless if one's house is all carpeted then rugs may perhaps do not have its area in there but I do not think most house or apartment owners can do that. Their bathroom or kitchen may made of wood tiles or any kind tiles. It is covered with floor mats, I can tell (it is because I saw many though wood tiles are prone to most houses). But even so, they would still in-love with what the beauty of rugs can do. Ambiance. Simplicity, depending on how floors built and its color. One must have a good rug's design on it. Art is what it matters. I just remembered it came to my mind that an area rug for our door step is essential and even in our bathroom's door step just to know that latter, is a bathroom because it seems like it is just a bedroom. Well, okay there's no name on it, rug tells as a sign. It tells the difference so one can have a smooth journey rather than asking " where is it " again and again. ;-) Or what other places are area rugs be placed? Living room center too or a big mirror's floor. Where else?

Hemmm.. (thinking).. So many to talk about and more to research before getting into my opinion. It was about the recent year's Miss Universe Pageant which happened last night here in my time (Pacific Daylight Time) and the other night about the hostage happened. Then came the second wall news in Facebook from White House account (as it has been stated there), about US Vice-President Biden news about Recovery Act.
As I opened my computer lately in the morning, I was stunned by this news. It was not actually in my mind and neither heard from close someone or even not that close (stranger, maybe) that Miss Universe 2010 pageant was last night. I was busy with my other priority and besides watching that long live competition is not one of the priorities last night though I like to. It could be in a rank of "come what may" . :-) Aright, the title seems it is just the beginning way of getting into connection huh! I was not motivated to write my thoughts lately about the events and still not currently. Ha! ;-) Okay, it is an expression of how my thoughts turned out. And am happy about it. I was doing some research about one of the top five contestant, the 4th runner-up Miss Universe 2010, who is Miss Philippines-Universe -- Miss Venus Raj. One of the hot controversial person currently as why she is in the 4th runner-up. She actually garnered the third place in swimsuit and one of the top rated online. As mostly said, it is on the question and answer portion which from my point of view, did not answer the question logically. Ooh well, what if she did not have biggest mistake yet? Aww.. to be in safe, I will just smile. :-) For me, it is not about the "major, major" word because Miss Australia also had more than the "major" thing word and again, I guess the substance of the question. So that is it. I will share to you the next post the video link soon that scenario should you like. Thanks to yahoo news by the way, for it is the first one to which I knew it was Miss Universe 2010 last night and to all the source through Google search box (though it takes much of my time with it, but that is just the way how it is or else I am just like some there which did not read and directly jump into conclusion. As must as I like to have a fair judgment). ;-)
By the way, it was Miss Mexico crowned as the Miss Universe 2010 in Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. And 1st runner-up was Ms. Jamaica, 2nd runner-up was Miss Australia, 3rd runner-up was Miss Ukraine and 4th runner-up was Miss Philippines.

Some folks do not like jack-fruit but not me or you, perhaps (which is which, your choice what counts). Jack-fruit is available for many countries but in US, this is scarce. Me as a jack-fruit lover, craves for this eventually if not mostly. Thanks to canned jack-fruit as I can just go to the store and buy whenever my taste bud wants it. Though the taste on canned goods than fresh ones (as not frozen but fresh from the farm) differs from each other but it is better than nothing. Seems like the canned goods jack-fruit's other sweetness went up to its syrup. I actually drink its syrup unlike other canned fruits (like fruit cocktail and others, I seldom drink its syrup). I guess it was my only third time I bough some canned jack-fruit. It is not that I do not like but it was just recently I knew it has. Thankfully I discovered it as just like buying fish in the market at the same time letting it fries at the location without any additional fee on frying. But the fish, on the other hand is another story. I just point-out my two recent discoveries as I can eat even without the fresh and saves time and cooking oil on frying while doing my grocery shopping at the on-set while waiting. That is a lot of something for me. I have to be multi-tasking as I do not have a maid or a helper. I could never imagine if I work as full-time. So then, have a great (Jack-fruit) Monday!

It is officially weekend here, as it is now Saturday. ;-) I would like to great you a formal, "happy weekend" folks! I hope everything's well on your side. About mine in here, the scorching heat of the sun for sunny California. Nevertheless, summer is here so we gotta enjoy it as the journey summer season continues. Not with the beach though but many are in there now, surely. Or just enjoy sun bathing anywhere. On the other hand, some wish it is already Fall but that is another story. Ha! Well, perhaps they just do not want to experience summer time but it just have to be or else the four cycles of America would not be completed or some other parts of the world (like Philippines), the two cycles (rainy and sunny weather) as just your side too, won't be completed without summer time.
Okay, that is all about it. To sum it up, just enjoy and have an extra care. Happy bonding with friends and family (as always)! Happy talking, chatting, eating and alike!
I guess everybody likes lights, Christmas lights, when it is about Christmas time already. Well, specifically if it is already in "ber" months season. Unless if one is phobia on it, then he/she would not like it then. Now, it has been only one month then it will be September time. As the month speaks for itself, it is the beginning of a "ber" month. For some place, they won't put the lights yet, not until after thanksgiving day which is about a month (or 4th of Thursday of November this year in US) before Christmas day or second week of October in Canada. But of course it is great to inspect the stashed lights like C7 led Christmas lights and buy before the neck of time to save some bucks and getting rid of out-of-stock ones. Days from now I will then have to check mine too especially the c7 LED ones. I can just wish we have some plants and bushes but that is impossible for now since I can only decorate our specific unit not with the bushes which belong to the whole complex. Well, I hope one day I could have bushes to decorate outdoor Christmas lights too. I like both colorful and white Xmas lights anyway. :-)
