Foodie: Gulay na Mais

Long weekend,, yey!!!! But It's more fun in the Philippines talaga kasi hanggang bukas ang holiday nila.
Yesterday I went to church, at first ang awkward ng feeling ko without Mark beside me until I felt at home na din. After church I went to Orchard pampalipas oras lang,  then I spotted the SALE sign in M)phosis most of their items are 50%-70% off, buti na lang may size ako, nakabili ako ng 1 pants and 1 dress for only 40sgd only, happiness!!!

ang daldal ko talaga, magshashare lang ako ng recipe eh hehehe,, ok game eto na hehehe,,

Presenting our Simple Ulam for today.

Gulay na Mais

Ingredients:

Corn (dapat ung puting mais kaso wala dito nun kaya sweet corn ung nagamit ko)
Lettuce (wala kasing malunggay o dahon ng sili yan lang available sa ref hehhee pero ok pa din)
Garlic
Salt and pepper
water or stock

         Ito yung pinakuluan ko na gagamitin kong sabaw para dun sa gulay.


How to cook:

I-scraped and corn, then magpitpit ng bawang. Nilaga ko ung busil ng mais (ung hard part after mascrape ung corn) para mas masarap ung sabaw nilagyan ko lang ng konting asin. Set aside ung pinagpakuluan ng busil ng mais. Igisa ang bawang sa konting butter, tapos pag medyo brown na ilagay ang mais, after magisa ang mais ilagay na yung pinagpakuluan ng busil, pag kumulo na ilagay ang lettuce, let it simmer tapos salt and konting pepper depende sa panlasa nyo.

And VOILA!!!

Tapos nagprito din ako ng Daing na Bangus para perfect,, simple and healthy meal!!!

A Glimpse at my Hubby's New Place

Thank you Lord sa lahat ng mga blessings na binibigay nyo sa amin ni Mark!

I am very happy for my husband, and di ko din mapigilan na di maging proud sa kanya, we never thought that he will able to see that part of the world where he is now working, as in isa lang sa pangarap namin yan, yun yung ultimate honeymoon destination dream namin na alam naming impossible, pamasahe pa lang nakakahinayang na, if we will look back, my husband always tell this story to me many times, after his graduation in high school, di nya alam saan sya pwede mag enroll para sa college, he went to Manila from Mindoro to find a school, and he found our university, malakas talaga and loob nya, hindi pa ata schedule ng exam nun pero nakiusap sya sa registrar kung pwede na sya mag exam that day kasi uuwi pa sya ng mindoro, ang tuition lang namin dati ay more or less 550 pesos isang sem na yan ha, at sa dami ng hirap, meron ung kulang ang allowance, meron din na isang linggo pa ang sweldo ay wala na para, hanggang sa napunta sya dito sa SG na hindi din namin akalain.

Thank you Lord, we are nothing without Your Love.  =)

Kakikayan Sunday

I don't usually sleep when the lights are on unless i am too tired, but since I am alone since Wednesday I'm scared at night, but last night I survived, I switched off the lights before I went to dreamland. yey!!!
Now that Mark is not here, I have a lot of time for myself and I learned to be independent kasi solo ako e, yun yung positive side ng husband is away. Hubby is coping too, the time difference made it more difficult for us, sometimes hubby will SMS me na nagtatampo asking why I chose not to be with him, but the next morning he said that he understands that I have a lot of things to settle here in SG before I can join him there. A lot of times I am bored, I hate being alone but I have to deal with the current situation.

To ease the boredom, I went out to do a little shopping for myself, I love Sephora for it has a lot of items from high end to affordable ones.

So here are the things I bought:

and footspa,,,

Aside from my nose (na pango wahehehe) ang paa ko ang ikinahihiya ko sa katawan ko, I have big feet mas cute kasing tingnan yung maliit paa, and sobrang neglected sya, oh well ngayon HAPPY FEET na!!! =)

Looong Distance Love Affair

Hubby is now in Frankfurt, from there  he will fly to Norway to work. Alone ang drama ko ngayon. I sent him to the airport and I stayed until I knew that he was already on the plane. Walang masyadong dramang naganap because we were in a hurry, plus nagdrama na si hubby sa house, sa amin dalawa kasi mas emotional sya, kaya I need to portrayed that I am strong para sa kanya, but deep inside nyeee,, maiiwan ako dito, wala akong sense of direction, hindi ako organized na tao (and he is), wala na akong cook, wala na akong kasama sa kwarto, wala na akong kausap, nakakatamad tuloy lumabas, kumain sa labas, kaya ko kaya? lahat yan tumatakbo sa isip ko. Tapos boom nabasa ko ito sa status message nya pinost nya nung nasa pre departure area sya, ayun na cryola na lola nyo, tapos he called me when he was on the plane na ayun na umiiyak din si hubby, hindi na makasalita ibinaba na lang namin ung phone.

I am just very thankful most especially kay Lord, side kwento lang, saturday before mag father's day I took a pregnancy test pero NEGATIVE we were crying until Sunday habang nasa church kami umiiyak kami Father's day nun, we were asking God what is HIS plan for us, then Monday came and hubby got this job offer, kaya ang bilis ng reply ni GOD, this is the reason why hindi pa nya kami binigyan ng baby last June. Kaya thank you so much LORD!!! We love YOU!!!

At kay hubby naman, salamat at inaalay mo sa akin lahat ng pangarap mo, salamat sa sakripisyo mo para sa ating dalawa.  Miss na kita! I love u mwahugs!!!

HaPINAS!!!!

Last week we had a short vacation at HOME!!!! We booked our flight night before our trip. We've been planning to go home but we were waiting for something (secret muna), then when we received the good news gora na kam ni hubby. I went to the office early wednesday morning to inform my boss, luckily my boss is not KJ kaya HaPINAS na talaga. We arrived 9pm in Manila, from the airport we travelled straight to my hometown Candelaria, my mother doesn't know pala na uuwi kami until nung pauwi na sila ni Che galing sa school, di kasi nagbabasa ng text, hehehe. There was a typhoon last week but during our stay pabugso bugso lang ang ulan hindi yung tuloy tuloy na malakas, in fact umaaraw pa din nun, God is great!!! We were able to visit pa my relatives in Lipa, and family ni mark sa Manila. We really had a great time, hindi nga lang kami nakapag meet sa mga friends namin sobrang kulang na yung time. Ngayon sobrang sakit nang katawan ko, tapos tambak pa ang work sa office, oh well that's life, kaya heto ang pamparelax ko,,, =))
