Travel: Preikestolen Norway

Happy Monday Friendships!!!

My weekend was tiring but full of adventures. As you all know, hiking is not my thing, girly girly nga ako, I was the most lampa among our cousins, my cousins during our childhood were very active, they know how to ride a bicycle, they can swim in a river as in yung ampos tao pa ha, (ampos means lampas, i just miss saying that word), they can run as fast as they could, they can climb a tree, santol, chico,mangga, caimito, aratiles while me just waiting for them to bring me some of their picked fruits, pag angkas nga sa bisikleta ang kaya kong gawin then later on ayoko na kasi masakit sa pwet o kaya kung sa likod naman may tinatapakan masakit din sa paa at takot ako kasi mabilis sila magbike napapayid ako yeah hehehe im too skinny then kaya napapayid ako ng hangin joke,, kaya naglalakad na lang ako hahaha,, my parents are really protective =)  I really don't enjoy those risky adventure for me and one of those is hiking, kasi naman bakit ko papagudin ang sarili ko na after umakyat baba ulit di ba, hehehe,, but last Saturday was different, I was able to conquered my fears of unfortunate thing that may happen during the trekking. Actually we were invited once before but we declined as I know I can not do it but since summer is ending here I just have to try it for once. Surprisingly I had a wonderful time, there were some portion that my knees were going to give up but I was determined to see what is store for us up there...and all the pains and sweat were all worth it. =)

I didn't sleep well the night before, I was up already at 4 am,, excited sa field trip ang bata =)

when i was feeling tired, I keep cheering myself "PAPAYAT AKO"

Foodie: Inspired by Gising Gising

Hello,,, food post naman, actually ang dami ko sana gustong ishare na recipe, not naman original recipe just in case lang bigla available yung ingredients tapos pwedeng pwedeng gawin, just like what happened today, I asked my N@W group for a simple recipe sa gulay, and two of them sugeested gising gising, I asked what is gising gising, ginataan pala yun ng finely chopped na beans, string beans o stalk ng kangkong. Since I only have cauliflower, broccoli and carrots, I was able to cook yung strir fry na mixed na yun and oyster sauce. Hanggang sa naisip ko instead of adding the stalk sa stir fry gawa naman ako ng panibagong menu na inspired ng gising gising, I don't have any other veggies here at ayoko namang lumabas para mamalengke kaya here is the gising gising inspired na stalk ng broccoli with bell pepper.

Ingredients:

Stalk of Broccoli (chopped)
bell pepper
siling haba
dried shrimp
1 can of coconut milk
garlic,salt, pepper, sugar,
oyster sauce, vinegar

Saute the garlic in a medium heat pan, add the siling haba and bell pepper, put the dried shrimp,
then add the chopped stalk of broccoli, mixed it together then add the coconut milk, let it simmer for 5 minutes, then put the pepper, vinegar, oyster sauce and sugar, tantyahan lang mga teh,, pero wagi ito,,, =)

Dream Travel Destination: Paris

photo source here
 Ultimate dream destination ko ang Paris, kaya for my birthday celeb bale post birthday celebration na yun kasi a week after my bday ko pa masisilayan ang Eiffel Tower, confirmed na everything hotel and tickets kaya hopefully talaga matuloy kami at makapagleave si hubby ng ok at walang urgent work that time. We will be staying there for 3 nights lang kaya we need to maximize our time there, pero keri lang easy relax trip lang naman ang aim namin ni hubby kaya Eiffel and Disneyland ang nasa itinerary na ginagawa ko, I am busy din looking for travel kwentos in Paris, tips and suggestions.
We booked a budget hotel lang as long as safe ang place at malinis e ok na kami the saved money from the hotel will be spent sa small shopping na lang since sobrang mahal at limited ang choices dito sa Stavanger.
Basta sobrang excited ako, parang batang may field trip lang counting the days, I am not actually excited sa birthday ko but sa trip namin, I didn't get to sleep kagabi I want to start to plan our itinerary na, hays, as of now wala pa din ako nagagawa but may mga naresearch na din ako, sobrang na happy ako dun sa pagplan ko nung hongkong trip namin e kasi success sya for us, DIY lang din lahat yun though mas madali magplan nun pero we covered lahat ng gusto naming puntahan tapos relax lang din, this time sana everything will go smoothly as planned.
And since my upcoming trip kami, I am thinking of many ways to save for our pocket money,,, no more dining out for the rest of the weeks before our trip wahehhee,,, =)




Hallooo again and again

Musta na kayo mga friends? I was pretty touched with D's message to me yesterday, kaya here I am writing this message =)

I am very much ok, the thing is medyo occupied ako watching movies, teleseryes, going out with new friends walking walking lang, last few weeks, saka I just get bored na din to blog same things baka nabubored na din kayo sa akin, but don't get me wrong I love blogging talaga, I love kwentuhan madaldal ako eh and most especially, I got to know few friends here kaya hopefully e madagdagan din sila, I love to hear din others para masaya the more the merrier di ba, saka it really inspires me, im kilig na nga seeing the live trafic feed nang location na nagvisit e hehehe,, makikita nyo puro norway puro ako un hehhee.

Well I am turning 23 na na next month hahaha,, wahehehe este 32 pala,, oh-em-gee ang tanda ko na wahehehe,, I was thinking the other day ano na ba ang naaccomplish ko sa buhay at ano ang greatest accomplishments ko. Meron man o wala I really don't care hahaha,,  I just shrugged it off pinakiramdaman ko na lang kung ok ba ako, masaya naman ako, healthy, si husband e mataba hahaha pero healthy naman sya kailangan lang talaga controlin sa rice hahaha,, my parents are ok they don't have luxury in life but my Inay said she is happy and contented sa ngayon that is enough for me but syempre bilang anak I am praying for more, more than what they needed, my brother is working now after graduated in college, sobrang hardship din ang nexperience nya and now God is gracious to teach him another life lesson and giving him opportunity to learn more about life, ok the last few weeks pala I was listening to his problems at work, I told him that it is very normal to experience especially him na first time to work to encounter difficult people, ewan ko I worked din naman for more that 8 years but I never bullied anyone at work hay, finally he found a new one na and hopefully this time he can manage to handle whatever challenges na haharapin nya,, oh well ang haba na nito I am sure bored na kayo hahaha,, sorry, as soon as I started I really can't stop na.

Since me and my husband lang here, syempre mostly sya nag nakukwento ko, sweet talaga sya, pero I don't want others to think that we are perfect, we are not and the time that we accepted that fact made our relationship more stable and smooth, there are arguments pa din but it is lesser now, I am more na ma tantrums e pero binabawasan ko yun when he came home feeling tired but still cheerful, I really appreciate how he makes life easier for me, basta alam mo yun hindi ko sinasabi sa kanya pero alam ko mababasa nya to wahahha, na alam ko yung pressure sa work, na nakakapagod din maghapon sunod sunod na araw na gigising sa umaga tapos pagdating nya sa house e iisipin pa nya how to entertain me, yung iniisip nya kung bored ba ako, kukulitin ako para maging happy yung mood ganun, kasi I admit it ngayon lang ako nawalan ng work, and I am kinda miss working na, but my husband is loving this moment na dinadatnan ako bahay, not pressured and tired (he keeps on teasing me na wala naman akong ginagawa sa house honestly din nga ang dali lang cguro 70% nun internet ako, 30% ung chores na mostly is cooking lang na naging minsanan na lang at hugas pinggan lang na minsan dishwasher na din ang nagawa, pag weekend pa sya ang chef and all around)

Minsan we were out, tapos may nadaanan akong nakabunton na ball pen, napa second look talaga ako sabay sabing "uy ball pen" tapos si Mark sabi "bakit hon namimiss mo na ba office"
Kaya one Saturday pinilit pilit nya ako to come with him sa office nila, overtime naman kasi yun, at sabi nya ok lang kasi may mga family na napunta din sa office nila, so ako sumama naman hahhaa,, I am just happy din kasi nafeel ko yung assurance na he is not someone who will cheat at this moment ha kasi syempre ayoko magsalita ng tapos, may husband is not a saint, and madami na akong naririnig nowadays na mga cheating husbands, pero i make it clear to my husband na non negotiable sa akin if that will happen to us, basta clear un bahala na sya,, masaya lang ako na he can proudly bring me sa office nila para mameet ng colleagues at bosses nya, awkward nga lang kasi ang nakita ko dung dala nung iba ay anak nila hehehe tapos sya bitbit ay asawa hehehe,, I had a wonderful experience naman mababait yung boss nya tapos they invited the whole team for a free lunch pa, they made me feel comfortable.

Tapos there's a wall in their office parang safety wall yun, It says "This is why I go home safe..." and Mark posted our picture there. Can you see us, husband is the one wearing the purple polo and I am wearing yung may yellow color,,


My hardworking and responsible husband,,, =)
