Happy 2011

I am back here in Singapore to welcome the new year with my hubby, there's a supertition that the couple should be together in welcoming the new year for them to stay together the whole year and even if the happiest place is home to celebrate it, I can't let Mark to celebrate it alone. Our initial plan was to have a dinner in the city and watch the fireworks display just like last year, but last minute we decided to celebrate at home.

I am wishing everyone all the best for this year, may our lives be filled with happiness and let us be grateful for all the blessings that 2011 may bring to us.

Finally Home

The feeling of excitement is incomparable. This photo was taken at Changi Airport, waiting to board the plane. Have a blessed Christmas everyone!

Christmas is all about love, family and thanksgiving, may we all be humble and may we have a forgiving heart not just for the season but for always.
Merry Christmas to all!!! Let's celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus with a cheerful heart!

Our Ultimate Wish for 2011

2010 brought so much happiness to us, we had a very successful wedding, thank God. Last year that was our ultimate wish, I remember Mark was telling me when we were welcoming the New Year at marina bay where all the balloons were floating with all the wishes written, he wrote his wish online.
Last friday is our last monthsary for this year, and we passed by to this booth wherein you will write your wish on the balloon, and here what hubby wrote:




He is very specific on his wish "A BABY GIRL" hehehe!!! Please help us pray for that. =)

Dinner : Pininyahang Manok

I took a medical leave today, I went to my appointment in Raffles Hospital, all is well, the results are all ok (thank God). While on my way home I was thinking of what to cook for dinner since I will reach home early I decided to cook pininyahan manok.




Ingredients:

Chicken Drumlets (may nabibili kasi dito puro drumlets lang, i decided to use this part para hindi na ako maggagayat hehehe)

1 whole garlic, chopped (ung normal may onion dapat pero nasanay na ako sa lahat ng luto ko na walang onion ayaw kasi ni Mark nun)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 medium size potatoes, peeled and quartered (can be smaller)

1 medium size carrots

1 red bell pepper

2 tbsp patis (fish sauce) depende sa panalat nyo

dash of pepper (depende din sa taste nyo)

2 tbsp pickles

1 can (500g) pineapple chunks in syrup

1 can evaporated milk

1/2 cup grated cheese

Procedure:

Heat a pan and when it’s hot, put olive oil. Saute garlic until golden brown.
Add the chicken and saute for about a minute, then add patis (add more depending on your taste). Mix then add pepper and pickles. Simmer then cover. Juices will start to come out. Wait until chicken is half cooked then add the pineapple syrup, simmer until the chicken is cooked para maglasa sa chicken yung pineapple syrup. When chicken is cooked, add carrots and potatoes. Simmer until the vegetables are cooked.Add the bell pepper, then stir and bring back to a boil. Add the milk then the cheese until melted. Served with rice and a smile. Enjoy!

My hubby loved it, nakakawala daw ng pagod. =)

No. 1 on my Wish List for 2011

Last Nov. 8, i received an early Christmas present from hubby, and I am happy to be able to crossed it out on my wish list for 2011.
I was just joking to Mark about it, di ko alam totohanin pala nya hehhee, he fetched me from work and headed to Takashimaya to get my present. If others will wish for gadgets that after a few months will be phased out because new models will be released, I wished for something that will last for years.
When he was holding the paper bag, and I can't hide my kilig, happiness about it, Mark said, "akala nyo lang mga babae na kayo lang ang masaya pag binibigyan kau ng bulaklak o regalo ng mga suitors, bf or hubby, pero hindi nyo alam na mas masaya kaming mga lalaki sa inyo, kasi nakikita namin kung gaano namin kayo napapasaya."
