Be healthy, let's do this workout

Hi girls,

Everybody is happy, it's Friday and Payday!!!

I will stay the house the whole day and wait till my hubby off from work, it's fridate again for us, no cooking for me yey!!!!

Our menu for this week was fried salmon, sinigang na salmon, bulanglang batangas, gulay na mais with malunggay, buttered shrimp, at since naawa naman ako kay hubby na walang meat since last week e, nagprepare ako ng burger patties pambaon din kasi nya. I went to an Asian store the other day and they have bangus and tilapia there yey,,, may pang alternate na ako sa salmon. I want nga sana a juicer e, gusto ko kasing mag juice cleansing pero we have a lot of things pa to buy for the house kaya ignore ko muna si juicer hehehe,,,

I'm trying to be healthy talaga, kaya As much as possible ayoko na ng meat, tinitingnan ko na lang ang picture ng lechon kawali hahaha,,, and while at home, ayoko ding madagdagan ang mga unwanted fats ko na ayaw umalis sa katawan ko enjoy na enjoy sila sa akin wahehe,, luckily someone share this video in facebook, Tara let's papawis tayo,,,

Home Style: Why I Love IKEA

When my husband rented the place, the owner provided everything but my husband had to pay additional for the rent, everything is ok, but the thing is they give us a very huge old sofa, and an old heavy TV. We never use the TV and we are thinking to return it and the sofa to the owner since it occupies a lot of space, as in the whole sala, we were thinking to buy a two seater sofa lang sana so that we can have a room for small dining table din, we eat at the center table now hihihi,, 

It is a process pala to decorate,, I posted here before the wall decors I bought on my first day here, and I mentioned already that we found a pretty cabinet in IKEA,

And to complete the design I'm aiming for, I bought a mat to contrast the color, basta ganun kanya kanyang trip lang hehehe,,

I am very happy for the outcome,, I just love our little corner,, *tadah****

Ang prettyness di ba,, I want it to have a nice lamp shade lang and bunch of flowers instead of chocolates which I put inside the vase hahaha,, but for now, wala pa kaya yan na lang muna ang nilagay ko, =)

My Happy Weekend

How's your weekend mga friendships?

My husband and I went out last friday, our first Fridate here in Norway. He went home early that day and fetched me, Friday is our usual late night date after work, and Saturday too when we were in Singapore. We planned to watched a movie but there were no seats available next to each other, so we just walked to find a place to eat. ( alam nyo na yan, basta busog masaya na ako hahaha).

I chose to eat at La Piazza, it is an Italian restaurant, I always passed by these restaurant whenever I go to supermarket, I just find the place more intimate, it is located away from the central where you can find bunch of restaurants and bars. 

My outfit that day: my old dress from H&M, sweater from Winter Time, black leggings, my only boots from Bershka

I only brought a few clothes, because most of my clothes are not appropriate for this kind of season, ito na yung mainit sa kanila 15degC hehehe,,we only experienced one time when the temperature was 23degC, lahat naka shorts and tube hihihi,,, ang tawag daw nila ngayon is green winter, kasi daw malamig tapos may mga puno,,, 

Our Fridate Dinner

 My Hubby's Plate, Seafood Pasta

My plate, palaging carbonara noh hehehe,, favorite ko kasi yan, kaso di ko pa natry lutuin hehehe,, kaya pag nagluluto ako red sauce palagi,, 

I think magiging favorite restaurant na din namin ang La Piazza, food was great, price was not that pricey. 

Next day Saturday was Ikea and movie date naman. 

Singapore pa lang I really like to buy that carpet kaso lang since sharing kami sa house mahirap bumili kasi baka hindi type ng mga ka housemates namin pag naglagay kami sa sala, e maliit lang yung room namin para maglagay ng carpet, kaya when we went there last week gustong gusto ko na syang bihin kaso lang we had to get the cabinet that we bought sa kabilang warehouse tapos umuulan pa kaya di na lang namin binili, we went back to Ikea last Saturday for that carpet,, then movie after,, Fast and the Furious 6!!! I'm so happy to see this movie, I love Vin Diesel more when I saw some photos of him in the Philippines,, di ako natulog ha promise, wide awake ako the whole movie hehehe,,

Sayang di ako nakapagpicture, pero alam nyo ba na 9pm dito e mataas pa ang araw hahaha,, kalurkey lang, parang 4pm pa lang ganun hehehe,, 

Have a great week ahead mga friends!!! =)

Life's Simple Pleasure

Hello Friends!!!

I am really enjoying my life now, no stress from work etc, basta im just simply happy, but I know myself I'm sure hahanap hanapin ko din mag work, but for now, I will enjoy muna these luxury of waking up a little late, eating breakfast, Facebook/Candy Crush/reading all day,, cooking,, going to supermarket, window shopping,, walking in the park, decorating, saka masarap yung feeling na dinadatnan ng mister sa bahay hihihi,,

So here are the photos I took that made me smile,, =)

Every morning I go out for my morning walk/jog, ang sarap lang mag walk/jog dito ang fresh ng hangin,, these flowers caught my eyes,,,

And this beautiful swan too,,, =)

 I tell you mas love ko ang books kesa sa damit,, I bought this on my 2nd day here,, talagang pumunta ako sa bookstore to find this, luckily meron sila dito =)

My husband wants to lose some pounds, sino ba naman ang hindi, kaya I limit our menu sa gulay at isda lang, except one breakfast where my husband cooked bacon and egg,, favorite ko talaga ang bacon, so kailangan ko syang snob-in pag nasa supermarket kami,,
Im just happy feeding my husband,,, and he is very easy to please, lahat ng luto ko masarap sa kanya kahit tong halo halong gulay lang,,,

Yesterday I saw these prettyness,,, I love bulaklakan,, it's spring time here,,, =)
I love decorating our home,, my husband is still working on our cabinet,, pag finish na I will show here din,,,

So that's all for now friendships,, my husband is here na,,, =)) it's dinner time,,, =))

Welcome To Our Empty Home =)

One of our major itinerary in the Philippines was the turnover of our home, wala pa syang laman na gamit pero it filled a lot of joy in our hearts the moment we saw our place. Honestly at first hindi ako impressed sa picture kasi yung color theme is brown e alam nyo naman ako, tapos we used to live in HDB in singapore kaya naiimagine ko na yung corridor na similar sa HDB, pero carry lang basta alam ko maganda yung place at ok ang developer namin, yung design sabi ko pwede na yun pagka turnover saka I am also dreaming pa din naman ng landed na house pero sa province namin, for now this is what we need,, we got a corner unit din kaya may privacy kahit papano. Love at first sight nga ang naganap kasi yun pa lang yung first time namin sya nakita, sa entrance pa lang happy na ako.
We can't imagine na finally may bahay na kami, kaming mag asawa, may address na kami sa Pinas,, ang saya lang =)

Nung unang punta namin, since kasama namin family ni Mark e tipid yung kilos basta ang alam ko lang kinikiliti ako ni mark palagi at hindi nya binibitawan ang kamay ko, tapos sabi nya wag na muna namin iparenovate kasi sayang daw lumain na lang muna, ako sobrang agree kasi another gastos na naman yun e magiging single income na lang kami, tapos magastos din dito sa Norway mahal ang bilihin, pero before kami bumalik ng Singapore Thursday night sabi balikan daw namin, kaya early morning nagbyahe na kami, nag mrt kami, tapos nag jeep hindi ko tanda kung sa libertad o sa saan basta doon hehehe,, alam nyo naman ako sunod lang ako kay mark, ang bilis din ng byahe namin cguro mga 1 hour lang nasa bicutan na kami,, nagpunta muna kami sa SM bicutan tapos bumili kami ng electric fan kasi sabi ni Mark magsusukat daw sya kaya naisip ko baka mainit kailangan namin ng fan, nagbreakfast lang kami sa Max's at nag takeout ng pang lunch namin,,
Pag pasok namin sa unit namin,, halik ng halik si mark sa pisngi hehehe,, tuwang tuwa sya,, tapos ang dami na nyang plano agad, plano pa lang naman hihihi,, dun naman nag uumpisa yun,, saka na lang namin problemahin ang budget hehehe,,

 Ang sala namin, TV lang yung laman saka electric fan,,

Ang aking masipag na asawa,,,

Nakakatuwa yung smile ni Mark dito

Ito ung view namin sa balcony sa sala,,,

Master's bedroom

 Husband,, getting the detail measurement,,,

My engineer,, =)

Actually hindi na pala namin kailangan ng electric fan, kasi ang hangin sobra,, may tubig at kuryente na din e, kaya wala na kaming problema, basta magdadala na lang ng gamit pwede ng tirahan.

Our first meal sa bahay naming =)

Hopefully next na uwi namin ok na lahat, kumpleto na sana sa furnitures,, one step at a time muna,, ipon ipon na lang muna =)

Foodie: Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Lemon Zest for our Anniversary

Yesterday marked our 6th years anniversary. Since I am a housewife now, I always think how to save, and one of the best tip I can suggest is to avoid eating on a fancy restaurant,, day before our anniversary I went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for a *surprise dinner* that I will prepare for my husband,, turned out not a surprise anymore because yesterday Norway has celebrated their national day too, it was holiday no work for everybody, even the shops are close,, (we'll take note of that kasi we thought bukas and mga shops good thing is lalong nakatipid kami, even flowers wala kasi husband is hopeful na open sila).
I was planning pa sana to buy placemats and new plates kaso yun nga wala kaya super simple lang talaga ng dinner date naming,,, =)

Actually I got this recipe from Fashion + Food of Jenni Epperson, di ko na lang nilagyan ng wine medyo iniba ko lang ng konti,, and you're right I brought the book here also,, very informative for a homemaker like me,,, =)

Ingredients

500g angel hair pasta
400g shrimp
1 can century tuna flakes in oil
butter
galic
olive oil
bell pepper
red chili(siling haba)
salt
pepper
zest of lemon

For pasta, cooked the pasta in boiling water for 10 mins, depende sa inyo basta tantya tantya lang,, then set aside.

Heat the pan with olive oil, melt the butter, then put the minced garlic, the more galic the better,, mas masarap sya,, put the diced bell pepper, and yung sliced na siling haba,,, put the zest of the lemon, add the century tuna and the shrimp, seasoned with salt and pepper, tapos mixed it with the pasta,,

tadah!!! meron na kayong very delicious pasta,,

I am loving my new work station =)

Looks like sa restaurant din di ba,, husband is the one who did the plating, I am not really creative e,, yan ang pag aaralan ko next,, 

This is just fried salmon lang tapos nilagyan lang namin ng cream, parang sosyal lang din di ba hihihi

The happy wife pwedeng lagyan ng beautiful? hihihi,, the happy and beautiful wife  hihihi!!! =)

See,, kung kumain kami sa labas pasta lang din oorderin ko e hihihi, mas masarap pa nga ang luto ko eh hihihi,,

More Updates *Tadah*

Hello friendships!!!! Musta na kau?
Namiss nyo ba ako?

I am super happy now, I am adjusting pretty well in my new environment, weather, and being a housewife.
Updates muna,,

May 4 when we had a short visit in the Philippines, as in we are not yet done sa mga linisin namin, we were trying to book online the night before pero palaging nag eerror,, so the next day, around 1pm I called the hotline na of Tiger Airways where we found the cheapest airfare to Philippines, we're done the booking ng around 1:30pm na and our flight is 5:50pm and that time di pa kami nakapag pack ng things namin. The next day we spent our time with Mark's family, and we visited our condo din, and we resched the turn over the next day. Sobrang happy kami with DMCI kasi yung finishing ay di tinipid, maayos ang turnover sa amin,, and they gave us pa this welcome home kit

After the turnover we went to my province naman to spend time with my family,,, We had a small salo salo parang thanksgiving for my brother's graduation and despedida na din for us, Mark is our chef that day,, ang cucute ng mga pamangkin ko sa mga pinsan ko,, Ang sarap lang kumain ng luto ng Inay ko the best,,,I super love my family,, =)

May 10, we flew to Singapore na,, I'm just sad that we were not able to meet our friends,, sayang talaga...

May 12 flight na namin ng 10:55pm, and promise di pa kami nakaempake and di pa kami tapos maglinis ng room,, around 2pm we were done na, then we went to our friends house because she prepared a farewell lunch/merienda for us,,

Sa mga friends namin who sends their gifts, prayers, and well wishes,, thank you so much di ko na kayo maiisa isa,,, cyberhugs to all of you!!!

I am very emotional that day as in nagmumukmok ako habang naglilinis si mark,, ito ang non negotiable na di pwedeng iwan,,

Iniyakan ko to ha,, I thought di namin sila madadala kasi ano ba naman plato lang yan baka mabasag
lang,, Pero ito ang aming first plates sa singapore, mula sa wala kaming maiulam at masarap ang ulam sila ang kasama namin,, at di sya nabasag hehehe,, buong buo namin silang nadala dito,, =)

Sa lahat lahat ng stuffed toys ko wala akong nadala kundi silang dalawa lang,, lahat pinadala na namin sa pinas,, moymoy and giday =)

Check-in time (pugto na ang mata)

And I did not miss the chance to buy my souvenir in Singapore *starbucks tumbler

We flew via British Airways, I can say that mas masarap ang food nila compared with Lufthansa,,, 

We had a 3 hour stopover in London =)

 After we reached home, naglakad lakad na kami ni hubby to find a  place to eat,, then I found these paintings,,, perfect for our tiny home,,
