Foodie: Adobong Kangkong at Sitaw with Tofu

Hello sisterets!!! 

Just want to share this very simple and budget friendly recipe, it is very easy that I'm sure you already know how to cook this but this post is aiming to help you on planning your weekly menu or if you feel like adding greens on your diet. Summer is fast approaching so let's start to be healthy as early as now, to maintain or to prepare our alindog for that nice colorful two-piece hehehe,,  (still my nth times wish hehehe never say die ika nga ng mga kaBarangay hehehe)

After our recent trip e back to budgeting na naman ako, from Monday to Friday last week e 3 dishes lang naluto ko, good thing is my husband doesn't mind if I will serve the same dish the next day, kaya sinigang, buttered shrimp, at adobong kangkong at sitaw lang ang luto ko, our weekend naman was spent with friends.

oh well, meatless recipe here it is,,, 



Adobong Kangkong at Sitaw with Tofu

Kangkong
Sitaw
Tofu
siling haba
soy sauce
vinegar
garlic

Saute garlic in a medium heat pan, add the sliced red chilis (siling haba), cubed tofu, then sitaw (kasi mas madaling maluto ang kangkong), add pepper, soy sauce and vinegar, let it simmer for 10 minutes, put the kangkong and add a little sugar, wait until it is cooked. served it with love :) 

since I'm on a budget I replaced the meat with tofu, my husband loved it,,, 

This week is another challenge for me, I want kasi to minimize my trips to supermarkets, kaya I want to create a menu from our stored food in the fridge, meaning a zero visit to supermarket week = zero expenses palengke week,,,

Mga Lumang Paborito

hi Friendships, tagal ko na namang missing in action,,, hehehe,,, 

Musta na kayo? How's your valentines day? I received beautiful flowers from hubby, then we joined our friends for a simple dinner. 



Back to topic hehehe,, walang bago e kaya luma na lang hehehe,,, 

May mga bagay ba kayo na kahit luma na at may mga bago na tayong mas maganda e binabalikbalikan nyo pa din? kalimitan sa akin ng ganyan e tsinelas, mug, kumot at unan.

Tulad ng shorts ko na ito, peyborit na peyborit ko ito, ito ata e binili ng tyahin ko na 3 for 100 sa lipa na alam nyo yung tela ng mga pambahay dati ung mga duster ba un,  malamig sa katawan, magaan, at napansin ko ha ilang taon na ito sa akin cguro mga more than 5 years na pero ok pa din.  :) sorry naman hindi kasi kami nagpaplantsa ng damit hehehe, 


Nanood ako ng Bride For Rent last week ata yun, hay sobrang ewan di ako nagandahan sa movie, maganda pa mga pelikula ni Sharon Cuneta dati hehehe,,, bakit nga ba dati maganda yung story ng mga movies, segwey lang sa bago pero mas maganda pa yung Home Sweetie Home nina Toni at John Lloyd kesa sa pelikula. Maging sa mga kanta, ang gaganda ng mga kanta dati noh, kahit sikat na sikat sina Katy Perry e wala atang kantang tumatak sa akin eh hehehe,,, 

Pasegwey ulit, may mga bagay naman na parang hindi tugma sayo, tulad na lang nung Naked 3 maganda lang tingnan pero di ko pa nagagamit hehehe, parang nakakaintimidate yung ganda nya, kala ko pa naman magkakapost ako ng valentine look hahaha,,, 

Pasensya na sa kababawan ko ngayon hehehe,,, medyo masama kasi pakiramdam ko wahehehe,,, 

have a great week mga friendships!!! :)

Pang Kikay Lang =)

Good morning Friendships!!! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend. =)

I am a bit sad kasi talo ang Ginebra, fanatic lang hehehe, if only I can share here the video that my husband took while I was watching ginebra game months ago, hihihi!!!

Anyways, I want to share you the kikay stuff I hauled from our recent trip. We only bring clothes for the next day because we really planned to buy na lang clothes and even underwear wala akong na pack kundi yung pang next day lang. I just did not have time and energy to post the clothes na puro best buys. I bought some dresses na 6-12 euro lang, i took the opportunity na talaga kasi pag may gathering ang mahal dito ng dresses at mas mura pa din kesa sa asos saka yung recent na purchase ko may tax pa din, leggings na tig 3-7 euro, and blouses na 4-10 euro, like itong suot ko dito sa picture na ito 10 euro lang from Zara.

zara (10 euro), pants I bought in their dept store (12 euro)


Zara blouse (12 euro), ito ung nakasama sa nawala ko, kaya 2nd time ko ng binili sya, like ko kasi yung print


Bershka Blouse (4 euro), I bought some of this kind na tig 4 euro lang, kakatguwa di ba.


Nakabili din ako ng jackets na sale din =)

I am ready na for the future months na walang shopping ng damit hehehe, and without worrying kung may isusuot ako o wala =)

Oh well, ito na aking mga pang paarte =)

from L-R: Versace Bright Crystal Absolu, Clarisonic Mia 2, Clarisonic Extra Brush, Clinique Deep Comfort Body Lotion, Longchamp Bag, Urban Decay Naked 3, Urban Decay Eye primer (free from Naked 3), Mac lipstick in Morange, Martini Asti (wala lang arte lang kaya naisama sa pic), Zara shoes


Versace Bright Crystal Absolu: Versace Bright Crystal is my favorite perfume nasa SG pa lang ako, and I am happy that they created it in Eau de Parfum which has longer lasting scent than the old bright crystal and I just learn that lotus flower also contributes with the flowery scent of it =)
I bought this 90ml perfume in the airport for 719 nok, when I saw it here found out that the 50ml is selling here for 650 nok, sana pag naubos na sya timing na may dadaan sa airport para makabili, laki ng difference e.

Clarisonic Mia 2: It is included in my post 5 Impractical Wants, hubby is really a spoiler =), I am super happy with this kahit di ko pa sya nagagamit hehehe,, mahilig ako sa pag wawash ng face sobra, bought it in Sephora for 149 euro plus the extra brush for 25 euro minus 21% tax refund =)

Clinique Deep Comfort Body Lotion: From the past months I never experienced yung parang nagbabatakan yung skin sa pagka dry which results itchiness lalo sa parts ng back ng legs ko, actually nakita ko lang ito sa airport na nakasale for 179 nok hehehe,, go na ako try lang if ok. 

Longchamp Bag: finally nagkaroon ulit ako nito, ang mura lang nya sa airport ng amsterdam 57 euro lang, kailangan ko kasi talaga ito kasi wala akong everyday bag, tapos umuulan ulan pa dito kaya kailangan ko talaga ng waterproof na bag.

UD Naked 3: Mentioned this in my previous blog post, still untouched medyo takot lang akong galawin sya hehehe, gusto ko lang syang titigan =) 

Mac Lipstick in Morange: I like orange color now for my lips, nakaka bata lang ng konti hehehe,, like ko din sana si Candy Yum Yum very pink sya pero no budget na hehehe =)

Zara Shoes: Sobrang sakit na ng paa ko sa boots na suot ko kaya basta kinuha ko na lang ito sa nakasale may size 9 kaya gora na, at take note 9 euro lang din sya, ang light at comfortable sa paa, I doubt nga lang kung magagamit ko yan dito baka sa summer pa. 

Martini Asti: wala lang chorva lang, pero ito yung favorite kong champagne,,, tsalap tsalap =)

Super late na pala, time for me to sleep. Happy Sunday!!! =)

Travel: Barcelona Ako Suites Hotel


Hi friendships!!! We're back =) I never thought I will love Barcelona as much as I did now, I did not expect anything from this trip compared to when I was planning and daydreaming about Paris, and yet Barcelona amazed me. We were contemplating on where is the best place to go considering the weather here in Europe, it is winter and I will never enjoy walking the whole day in a very cold atmosphere and we don't want to just waste our time and money on that situation, we narrowed down our choices to Greece and Barcelona, we chose the latter because we think that it is best to see the beauty of Santorini on summer.
Unlike our previous trips, I will search online everything about the place from the hotel, transportation up to the best place to eatetc, but this time I just looked in Agoda the hotels with the great reviews and let my husband choose which is the best from my choices since hindi ako magaling sa directions kaya sya yung pinapipili ko kung saan maganda ang location, eto talaga yung trip na hindi ako nag effort, dati pinoproblema ko from airport to hotel kung paano kami kung mura ba o mahal mag taxi o mag train ba kami o mag bus, di ako nagsearch ng tourist spots magkano ang entrance and all basta wala talaga, di ba gusto ko lang talagang mag mall hehehe,, kaya masayang masaya ako dun at lalo akong naging masaya na sale ngayon dun hanggang march, kaya take note of that if pupunta kayo best time yan kung gusto nyo shopping, tapos ang perfect ng weather 14-16 degrees sya, ang taas ng araw super sarap =)

Heniways hehehe, ang daldal ko hehehe,,,Mark picked AKO Suites Hotel because of the great reviews, locations, and he also based from the pictures in Agoda, it is absolutely nice hotel, there's a small kitchen where you can cook anything daw they don't have any restrictions, I admire the beautiful layout of the room na if ever nga gusto ko gayahin, saka very spacious ng room namin,

I'll show you our room with this pictures


There's an access door to the toilet and bathroom from the kitchen, galing and you can separate the kitchen thru the sliding partition na double purpose na pwede ding cover ng closet.sayang di napicturean.





super like ko ang tiles nila ang ganda ganda lang, tapos you see that glass door pag inislide mo sya dun naman ang toilet tapos maydoor sya naman papunta sa kitchen, galing galing talaga =)

Ang bait ng receptionists nila, nagpaprinter kami ng boarding pass namin, inemail lang naman tapos they promptly reply sa request namin.

Kaya kami highly recommended namin Hotel na ito at we will surely stay again if ever mapadpad ulit kami ng Barcelona.

Wala tuloy ako nabili kahapon kundi undies saka sumbrero wahehe nakabili pala ako ng shoes sa zara kasi masakit na paa ko sa boots na suot ko di na carry talaga maglakad kaya nagpalit ako. Super sale talaga may mga blouse na tig 4 euro lang, maganda na yung 10 euro na blouse, may jacket na sale din  kaso hinahanap ko talaga yung mga padded na jacket na pang norway kasi malamig talaga dun, e dito mga trench coat yung style, kahit sa hindi sale wala talaga sila, may dress na 12 euro kaso yun nga lang talagang need mamili talaga ng ayos saka yung iba di ko din type kaya dasal nga namin ni husband na sana magdagdag sila o kaya maglabas ng mga new items nila before kami umuwi.

Sobrang naawa ata ang asawa ko sa akin kasi di ako makaget over sa nawala kong binili, kaya to cheer me up binilhan nya ako ng Naked 3, ang saya, parang na relive yung time na gradeschool tayo may watercolor hehehe
