Bonjour Paris!

Greetings from the most romantic place in the world and also called the city of lights....Paris!

Whatelse I can say, I am in the cloud 9 now, it is indeed the most romantic place I've been to, yung langhap ng hangin, the scenery, happy people,,,, lahat ng makita ko masaya sila. 

My heart is full of joy and gratitude to the Lord, for having a very loving and prayerful mother  who always pray for her children's happiness and loves whoever we choose to love, and for giving me the most generous, caring and loving husband who always trying his best to keep his promises, he is very consistent, he never fails to lift me up in every ups and downs of life.

Kahapon gusto kong kurutin ang sarili ko pagtapak namin ng Paris, I thought this will not going to happen and will only remains as one of my wildest dreams. 

Keep on Dreaming,,, Keep on Praying,,, Keep on Believing,,, : )

God bless us! : )

Early Birthday Presents

Yesterday I received a package from my friends in Singapore, I requested them kasi to send our letters from our previous home address and since wala ditong whitening soap I asked them to buy me CY Gabriel, I am using that soap since I was in high school, my mother introduced that soap to me, She is not vain as I am, infact she's very comfortable with her complexion but I think I inherited my being vain to my grandmother (her mother). My mother has 3 more sisters, I really admire their relationships as siblings talagang mahalan sila and lahat ng kapatid nya mapuputi, kaya sa aming magpipinsan ako yung pinakalatak tapos sa side ng father ko mapuputi din kaya aim na aim ko magpaputi hehehe. Kahit nagtatry ako ng bago bumbalik at bumabalik pa din ako sa CY, I had allergies kasi sa mga ginamit ko dito sa aking fez kaya I decided to use water only e kaso mo nag wawalking kami ng mga 7 pm tapos 2 hours un without wearing sunblock umakyat pa kmi ng bundok wala din protection face ko kaya nagdark n sya compared with my neck pababa kaya happyng happy ako, when I wash my face with unti unti nareremove yung dead skin, plus napakamura pa nito lalo sa Pinas, Jaz also added earrings and our local magazine syempre alam na machismak hihihi as her gifts for my bday hoooray!!! 

I used the earrings na today, mark treated me for a dinner hihihi di n kinaya ang diet hehehe ijojogging ko na lang tomorrow saka badminton hihihi. 

Aside for carbonara, hamburger is always on my top list of my favorites, I skipped the dessert though,,,, : ) 

Happy thursday na to all of you!!! : ) 

Mwahugs!!! : )

Gloomy Monday

I was out to go to supermarket ,,, one of my happy places in the whole world!!! For such a foodie like me I really find that place therapeutic. There's always something nice, yummy and worthy that you can find there. : ) 

This weather makes me feel lazy and be a slouch potato. : )

Summer is almost over here, it's been raining since last week. I still don't want to say goodbye to sunshine :(

I went to buy a beef for my husband's day 4 meal tomorrow, he lost 3kg already such a great accomplishment for him pero nakakaawa din hehehe. 

Here are my good finds for today:

I am really particular with how I smell, basta I love to be always mabango pati paligid ko. While browsing the shelves I saw this oil scented on a discounted price of nok 24.95 or 182 pesos. It is a lily fragrant. Very light scent and relaxing. : ) 

Since I am on a diet, I am avoiding sweets and it is really really hard coz I'm a sweet tooth. Found this for nok 14.45 or 105 pesos. But is it really good for a person who's on a diet? Kasi matamis sya kaya hesitant ako uuntiuntiin ko na lang hehehe. 

And lastly 2 cans of tuna in water for nok 8.90 or 65 pesos. I can eat it with bread, hays ang hirap talaga ibalik ang dating alindog hahaha!!! : )

I am improving na on being a budgetarian hahaha, I am always on a look out for sale items and I only buy what is essentials at home. 

There you go, my supermaket good finds : ) 

Hello September

Hello friendships!! Ilang days din akong walang post, it's just that there's nothing to blog talaga, No recipes to share because we are on diet, i'm proud of my hubby that he is still surviving the GM motors 7 days diet, he is now on day 3 : ) this diet was effective on me, before my wedding day I lost 4 kg. I didn't purchase anything now coz I am saving for our trip, and it will be cheaper in Paris and Milan kaya wala ako maishare about "good finds stuff". 

Movie marathon lang kami yesterday, we watched Notting Hill and You've Got Mail, medyo nauubusan na ako ng movies na magandang panoodin e,

Our dinner tonight

Hello September,, few more days to go and it is my birthday : ) 

Happy holidays everyone!!! : )

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 =)

this is indeed beautiful =)

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

 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,,, =)
