A friend

I am a friend to everyone but I limit only my trusted friend as in mabibilang sa kamay, I can be makwento of my life to anyone but very few are the ones I really trusted and I know my worth for them, I valued our friendships very much because in thousands of people I've met sila yung nagpakita ng totoong pagmamahal at care sa akin, yung tipong hindi nila ako ijujudge whatever my mood is, kung masaya, malungkot may problema, victorious or failure e love pa din nila ako.
If you've found a friend who just sit beside you and listen when life is hard, a friend whom you can share your inner most feelings, and yung isang tinginan nyo pa lang alam nyo na iniisip o nararamdaman ng isa't isa (kwento lang we went to a mall with my best friend and her husband then bigla na lang nakita yung husband ng high school barkada na super close then nag beso dun sa husband nya, my best friend looked at me and I knew that she felt awkward kahit kilala nya yung friend and alam nyang wala lang yun and yung friend was with her husband too na barkada din nung husband ng bestfriend ko so wala talagang malisya dun, basta i told her I knew how she felt that moment even she denied it and just laughed with me. PS. wala sana magbeso sa asawa ko sa harapan ko)
I have a friend naman since we are miles away e palaging timing pag magmemessage sa akin na parang alam nya na something good/bad is happening to me basta ganun malakas ang radar nya, Aside from my best friend e sa kanya ko din nasasabi lahat. I have a friend herein Singapore na kahit email lang everyday we communicate, as in mula sa breakfast at kung anong kinain sa lunch e reporting ang peg namin, hehehe.
Madali akong ma hurt e, kaya yung iba e hindi lumalalim yung level ng friendship ng what I described above, in any relationship kasi e kailangan may effort and siguro iba iba ang tao, may mga situations kasi na pag inisip ko if ako yun ganito ang gagawin ko, pag friend ko kasi I am selfless e, I set aside muna myself para sa needs ng friend ko, then when something happened to me and nakita ko how the supposedly friend make choices I get disappointed e, then I learned my lesson, tumatatak e, kasi for me even smallest thing na mabuting ginawa for me ay nakaukit, mapasenya akong tao but may level yung pasensya ko e, pero yung tipong tinatandaan ko lang na next time I know who I will value as my friend, ganun hehehe. (puro e, ala eh, pasensya na batanguena are e hehehe)

Not all people will be happy of what you have achieved; a true friend is the one who will be shouting, singing and jumping for joy with you.
And for those who aren't happy for the happiness of others, just shrug your shoulders off, they are not worth of your time and they will be forever miserable because of discontentment of their lives. =)

A true friend is a gem, I am lucky to have a few treasures.

Loving these Kitchen Inspiration

How's the weekend? The weather here in Singapore is unpredictable, morning until noon was super hot then around 2pm will have a heavy rains with the lightnings and thunderstorms,, bed weather..

It's the time of the month now, i hate stomach cramps,, (sigh) but what I love about it is that my cravings for food is over. Balik banana, yogurt, veggies, and fish na ulit me, my old weight is back kaya I really need to focus again, kinaya ko dati kakayanin ko ulit. =)

And since I'm on a diet again and again (hahaha) no more cooking for me now, cguro light cooking lang, super love ko pa naman to cook, aside from bedroom another favorite ko din ang kitchen, syempre for you to create  best tasting food kailangan happy ang aura, maganda sa mata ang kitchen. I followed Home Decorating sa Facebook kaya dami ko nakikitang designs, eh alam nyo naman na I love red, yan lang kasi yung color na pang babae na parang neutral hahaha,, kc kung ako lang puro pink ang theme ko hahaha,,

I super love the second picture, like ko yung may parang table sa gitna para pagkahango ng food lafang na agad hahaha,, im sure my husband like this idea too yung tipong kwentuhan dun na, perfect spot din for midnight snack.
The first picture naman is so neat tingnan, parang ayaw ko ng magluto pag ganyan hahaha,, mahirap magkalat hehehe, pero like ko yung natural lights nakakafresh lang,,
The third picture naman is very simple and practical, parang everything that you need is there na.

hayyy ang sarap mangarap,,, I will sleep na para tupadin ang pangarap ko sa panaginip hahaha,,,

God bless us all!!!

Foodie: My Creamy and Cheesy Baked Macaroni

Hello everyone!!! (repeat performance to hehehe,, nag error kasi di nasave yung nasulat ko na wah )


I'm very happy as in happyng happy!!! I received a good news last week, I will share it to you all if everything is running smoothly na, and because of that good news I will be a lot busier in  the next 2 months. whew! (kaya ko to)

Ewan ko ba ang hormone ko pag dadating na ang period ko palaging gusto kong kumain, wahehehe,, last week I was craving for pichi pichi and baked macaroni, as in I was desperate na on where I can find it here in Singapore buti na lang I asked my friend Abie, sa Bengawan Solo daw meron, I went there the next day meron nga but mas masarap pa din yung inoorder namin pay may birthday o farewell sa Fluor dati.

Pichi-Pichi checked... now Baked Macaroni naman...

I woke up early today cooked our breakfast tocino and egg, after that I went to the supermarket for the ingredients... took a nap in the afternoon and after dinner I cooked Baked Macaroni na...

Ingredients:

500g elbow macaroni
1/4kg ground beef
Spam Lite (I used half of it lang then sliced in tidbits)
Libby's Corned Beef
1 bottle of Prego Traditional Sauce
2 cans of nestle cream
Quickmelt
olive oil
minced garlic
salt, pepper and sugar to taste

Heat the pan then saute the garlic in olive oil (nasanay na kasi ako sa garlic lang because my husband doesnt like onions wahehehe pero dinadamihan ko ng garlic everytime mag gigisa ako para masarap)

Put the ground beef until maluto sya, then add the tidbits spam and corned beef, mix together.

Add the Prego Traditional Sauce, Stir well, add UFC Tamis Anghang Banana Ketchup, basta tantyahan lang mga ateng,, put small amount of water para lang di sya dry, let it simmer, add pepper, salt and sugar according to your taste, I also add cheese, stir to melt.
If your satisfied na with the sauce, set aside and cook the pasta.

Boil water, oil and salt, put the macaroni and cook for 10 mins. Wash and drain.

Combine the sauce and the pasta na. Then prepare it na sa baking dish.

Put the pasta in a baking dish, half lang ha bale parang first layer, top it with nestle cream then sliced cheese ( I was rushing na kasi and panggitna lang naman sya kaya sliced cheese muna)
parang like this:

as shown in the picture, cover the first layer ng pasta again, top with nestle cream tapos this time grated cheese naman para fully covered ng cheese.
Take note: while layering pala, Pre-heat the oven in 180degC.

Cook the pasta for 10 mins in oven. Tapos na you have na the creamy and cheesy baked macaroni!!!!

Promise ang sarap sarap nya walang biro i didnt expect it to be that good kasi first time ko lang,, maybe next time itatry ko yung may bacon naman,,  basta super successful ito, nadagdagan ang recipe ko na pwede ko ipakain kay hubby. Super creamy and cheesy talaga,, sureness mga ateng winner ang nestle cream and quickmelt!!! =))

Happy Sunday and before I end this post greet ko muna si hubby...

Hon happy 17th!!! love you and miss you so much!!!

Venezia in my Mind

Syempre puro photos ang laman ng post ko na ito hehehe. When we went to Macau, hindi kami sumakay sa gondola meron talaga akong feeling na makakapunta ako sa Venice (chos!) hehehe, when we were in Milan, I chose Venice para sa Gondola na yan hehehe,, I was really excited talaga, but when we were there I was a bit disappointed sa gondola hehehe,,  di ko narinig kumanta yung gondola man (gondola man talaga ha di ko kasi alam tawag) im not sure lang kung may extra bayad pa pag kakanta ha hehehe,, basta nanonood muna kami at nung makita ko na di naman pala romantic yung experience hehehe,, yung dinadaanan kasi was just plain lang, kaya we tour around na lang, ang mali namin kaya pala cguro ng half day lang yung venice, we didnt go kasi sa museum kasi naumay ako sa museum sa Rome hehehe, sana nakapunta pa kami sa ibang place pa, but all in all it was a nice experience, unlike sa Milan, mas maganda ang weather dun kaya pala yung Venetian Hotel sa Macau ay ganun yung ceiling kasi ang ganda ng langit talaga sa Venice.

Parang ang lapit ng araw.

ako lang hehehe...

Ang Gondola bow...

Dito dumadaan yung Gondola...

Hope you enjoyed the photos =)

Bedroom Ideas

Follow up sa previous blog ko, kagabi pa ako hanap ng hanap ng design, ang hirap pala ang daming magaganda, walang itulak kabigin (lalim ng tagalog hehehe). Favorite part ko talaga aside sa kitchen e bedroom, kaya I want it talaga na maganda sa mata, basta may TV, laptop at books mabubuhay ako sa loob ng kwarto ng walang labasan, kailangan pala may pagkain hehehe.

Let's start with these 2 photos

                                                                photo source here
Ang ganda lang nito, gusto ko talaga yung upholstered na headboard kaso wala ako makita gusto ko yung may red din sya hehehe, ang ganda ng lighting nitong room na 'to, yun pala dapat din iconsider dapat perfect ang lighting para bongga ang dating.

                                                              photo source here

Gusto ko plain lang yung sa may headboard walang mga nakasabit, gusto ko man maglagay ng painting o malaking picture frame naming mag asawa e paranoid ako takot ako mabagsakan hehehe.
Wish ko lang malaki yung room namin kaso hindi e kailangan ko yata yung ideas na mukhang mapapalaki yung room hehehe.

SIENA PARK =)

I am now looking for a possible design for our soon to be home. A small home that we can call our own. Two years back I was convinced of getting our own place, I told hubby about it and he was very supportive on my idea. How do I convinced him?

1. I want to have our own nesting place when we visit Philippines. Everytime kasi we go home, it's either makikituloy kami sa in laws ko  or dididretso kami ng Quezon which is 3 hours travel from airport. And since wala kaming house sa manila, I can't invite my parents to see if ever short vacation lang kami and can't go to province na. I've experience to go to Philippines with a 4 days vacation at puro byahe lang ako, manila-quezon-manila, may side trip pa ng lipa hehehe,, can you imagine how tiring it was. Saka we can have our friends to visit us kwentuhan to d max.

2. It's our INVESTMENT. When we were stil bf-gf, may nag open na subdivision just in front of my grandparents' house sa lipa, do you know how my husband won my Mamay's (my grandfather) heart, with a very small salary he invested a 90 sq.m. lot, it is his way of securing my grandfather that we will build our home near them, that he will not take me away from them, although it didn't happen we still have that lot as our investment. Sabi ko nga kay hubby, hindi din namin napansin na tapos na naming hulugan yung lote na yun. Mahirap magtrabaho and we have to secure that we are investing our hard earned money sa maganda.

3. As years gone by, may mga gamit na kami together, and sometimes ang hirap nilang ipunin just because we dont have space for them, and we also want to buy things na hindi namin magawa.

And a lot more... in short this is not just a WANT, this is what we NEED.

Yesterday, my friend Abie, who is also looking for their future home sent me photos of Siena Park model unit, knowing that we got a unit there kaya yun din ang no. 1 option nya. He asked his father to have a visit to check how accessible it is and how it looks like.

I've never been there kasi, when we talked with our agent e groundbreaking pa lang at a nun, tapos yung mga uwi naman namin ay palaging mabilisan lang, another consideration ay wala kaming sasakyan, naku sobrang hirap for me na nasanay dito sa singapore na MRT lang ang katapat ng lahat, Nung last uwi ko e dressing up pa ng unit kaya di pa naturnover sa akin, this month e ready na sya, kaso ako naman yung di pwedeng umuwi pa.

These are the Model Unit photos, our home will be a lot different with it but the layout is the same kaya I am studying every corner of it to find a design that suits our personality.

Such a calming sight! =)

 The receiving area

The Kitchen, where thousands and thousands of adobo will be cooked. =)

The Dining area, 

 Master Bedroom, I like the headboard but I want it in red sana.

The Second Bedroom, for our future kids. =) Sana dumating na kayo, you have your own room na. =)

The Bathroom. I think we need a lot of work to with the bathroom. =)

Naii stress ako thinking of the things I want for our home, sana manalo ako sa lotto hehehe,, =)

BEAUTY-Ful Sunday: L'Oreal Products

Have I told you that Meji yogurt is the best yogurt I've ever tasted? My face will turn into sour face every time I think of buying a yogurt, pero yung Meji is not that sour and super favorite na flavor ko yung nata de coco and mango. I just finished eating this.

Weekend is over, I stayed at home and do nothing, most of my time was spent playing Candy Crush, I just started playing it this week and I am happy to share na Level 83 na ako hehehe (kala mo kung ano na eh noh hehehe).

Anyways, let's move on to another topic,  I went to Watson this afternoon, I actually looking for an orange lipstick medyo nabobored na ako sa pink lipstick ko e, I am not really a make up person kaya I don't buy cosmetics nang wala lang basta meron lang, I really choose yung magagamit ko  talaga, and naubusan na ako ng night cream I used the L'Oreal Revitalift night cream kaso nga sabi ko sa inyo naiitiman ako sa face ko kaya my psychological effect sa akin kung may nakalagay na whitening sa iaapply ko sa mukha ko wahehe. Even if I am lazy on applying creams e kailangan mag effort na ako ng bongga because I am not a teenager anymore, I really need to take care of my skin.
I want to try other high end brands but I can't afford them, maybe someday pag iipunan ko kayo Shiseido, La Prairie, La Mer etc. and I am happy naman with L'Oreal, kaya eto puro L'Oreal nabili ko.

For my daily beauty routine, I am using L'Oreal Tripla Attiva ( I bought this in Italy) and  Celeteque to wash my face.

Eye Cream is a must...

Paubos na sya, I use this every morning and at night. 

L'Oreal Revitalift for my day cream mas naunang naubos yung night cream, I am always late in the morning so I always skip to apply day cream ( my bad =( I need to allot a few minutes in the morning for this)

Since ubos na nga yung night cream I am replacing it with serum but before the serum the saleslady suggested me to apply this before the serum.

L'Oreal White Perfect Laser for day and night

I also found the  red orange lipstick, again it's from L'Oreal

The best thing in life is FREE... I got this lipstick for free hooray!!!... 

 While on the way to cashier I saw this for my hair and it has a free hair dryer hehehe,, tapos naka sale pa... winner di ba,,, like ko yung hair nung girl ... I really need a curling iron to style my hair.

It's 1 am and I should sleep now, I am violating the no. 1 rule to have a healthy skin, 8 hours of sleep ang hirap mong sundin wahehe.

Have a great week ahead sisters!!!
