Been Away..

Am so sorry if I haven't been here for a while,as you know,I been on diet and I stop cooking and baking for awhile,as soon as I will be in the mood to do something I will post it here. I have been addicted to facebook as well,especially one of their virtual game called" FARMTOWN",most of my free time I am there playing,it is just a stress reliever for me.Don't worry,I won't quit from cooking and baking am just not in the mood yet. hope you will be still here when Iam back,take care all!!

He is Home at Last...Iggy.

We already had 4 dogs and I know it is too much no matter how much you love them.A month ago,our dog groomer told us that she has another puppy that is available and she gonna give it to us in a special price,it was cheap but my main concern was we have four dogs already and it is hard to take care of them,aside from the expenses,it is just too ,much work.

3 weeks ago the groomer said that she will just goin to give it to me,the puppy as Valentines gift,I was speechless cause I was in mixed emotion,happy yet confused.I told aunt about and she said that it is not nice to refuse a gift especially if it has life and feelings.We talked about and Miggy said it is fine with him as long as Iggy will sleep with him during the night and all of us agreed.

After a long wait,at last he is with us,the happiness that you feel and the smile that you see in Kat and Miggys face are priceless,we have to shoulder his vaccination and registered him so he will legally ours.I am very pleased that Iggy found a family with us.

What a waste..

Yesterday I cleaned up our pantry to see some expired things that need to be disposed,to my surprise,I found so many canned goods and drinks that had been there in the shelf since we moved here like almost 5 years ago,deep in my heart I feel bad cause it was alot and it will just go to the trash.

Growing up in the PI,we seldom have so much,most of the time,we only had what is enough for a certain period and now here,I have to throw it away.I found lots of chips,cookies,chocolates and some canned and bottled sodas.All in all i gathered 3 black trash bags of food that to be thrown away.I told aunt to buy little by little from now on cause life is harder now adays,we don't want a single penny to be wasted anymore.

Our pantry is ni longer crowded and it is all up to date and ready to be consumed.Hopefully we can keep this up.Crossing my fingers here.

It is just an Ordinary Day..

20 minutes from it is gonna be Feb.15,and Valentines Day is over.My friends asked me yesterday what will I do,as usual my reply was,"stay at home and clean up my room",with a smile of course not to show that I was annoyed with thier constant question about this day. Today,I got a box of chocolate fr0m a friend,thank you for that.Since I am not a choco lover person I gave it away to Makayla,the daughter of my co-worker.Bossing asked me if I wanted a boquet of flowers and I said No,and told him to treat us to dinner instead,we went to Missy's and as expected,it was full,glad that we made our reservation earlier. Tita D. and I had our week-end ritual,our movie marathon,this time we watched our favorite love stories.I love" Memoir of a Geisha "and she cried over and over again with" Message in a Bottle",You see I survived another Valentines Day dateless and it wasn't bad at all. How about you?how is your Valentines Day?

In times for Valentines Day

It is really funny how fate do tricks to us,it is thrilling at the same time confusing.I was talking with my former classmate in elementary when she mentioned to me that one of my long time crushes is in Canada and asked about me.Of course i can't help but smile,for me he was the best good looking guy in town,c'mon,I was only 12 yrs old when I said that.

Last night,my phone rang and it was an unknown caller,usually I don't answer my phone when I don't know who is calling me,but my phone won't stop from ringing so I picked it up and answered it.I can't really figure out who was on the other line,it was like 17 years ago since I saw and heard that voice and now he is all grown up and with very manly voice,so I asked who was on the other line when he said his name,my jaw dropped,literally(grinning).

My best friend gave out my number to him with out my approval,well,it was a good thing i guess(Laughing),we talked for an hour and we decided to chat tru MSN,after those years,I saw his face again but i take back what I said,he is still good looking but not the best in town anymore.I am glad I am single or else I will not have any loop about him.And for the record: HE is Still Single.(wink).

I am a Ro0sTer...

Not sure if I am charming(LOL) but I know being artistic is not part of my system,so Ierased it=)and yes it sums up to my personality.=)

first day of 2009

How was your new years eve?Mine was full of drama,you might wonder why?My aunt and her hubby had a huge fight over I don't know,all I know that I was awaken by the loud voice of aunt,I wanted to go out but I don't wanna interrupt whatever they are discussing at that time. The whole day of of Dec.31st was like a torture to me,we usually have games and cook some food for us to munch,but this one is different,we have no food at all.I decided to baked some fettucini since the tuna in can is the only thing I can used,everything is frozen.We planned to make some pigs in a blanket but since no one is the mood to eat I didn't make it. I stayed most of the time in my room and aunt imprisoned herself in their room as well,I don't know what she did,I didn't bother to asked if she wants something.I feel sad for what happen.I thought why they have to choose to argue in the last day of the year?Why not tomorrow=). Kat and I watched the countdown and greeted each other happy new year.I made some churros and hot choco for us to eat,I jsut ordered pizza for dinner.Until now they are not talking still but I am glad that aunt made some spaghetti for our lunch but still she is incognito. Well,I don't wanna drown myself with the thought that we started the new year with a bad luck,I welcomed 2009 with optisim and I was happy enough spending time with Kat wondering as well what is goin on with her parents,I told her they are old already and they well resoved whatever arguments they had and before we knew it,they are back to normal again. Have a Blessed day everyone.

What the Heck!!!!

I received a mail today and I was shock to see a plastic container like a ziplock from USPS,it was really funny coz all I got is the back part of the envelope where u put the address.. I just wonder who did this and why they still sent it to me knowing it has nothing to read except for the senders name and mine.This is really bogus and alarming coz there was nothing inside except for the christmas card from Rose. I just wonder if anyone here has the same dillema as I have now,I guess we have to be very extra careful now a days of what we are going to put inside our christmas card when we send it to our love ones. I just feel sad coz I didn't really expect that it will happen to me and knowing this is USA..I hope nobody has experienced what I am having now...it is pissing me off. This is what I received and isn't it ironic when the post office plastic envelope logo is WE CARE,if they really do,they should not have open it in a first place or if they did,why they didn't put it together and send the whole thing to me since the plastic enevelope is big enough.

Nothing much...

These past few days I devoted my free time in baking some breads,I made some ensaimada but it didn't come out right,it was hard as rock coz I didn't wait the right time so it will rise by itself.I was disappointed and mad caused I followed all the procedure but I guess this is the beauty of baking,you really mess up and start all over again. So I tried again and made some Pan de Leche and bread with yams,I waited for an hour then form it into a ball and again waited for it to double it sized.After waiting like 3 hours nothing happen,the size were the same.Aunt told me to cover it and hide it in a dark and warm place,so I did and after an hour of keeping it in a dark place it did rise up,the size doubled up and I was very pleased. I ate it with coffee this morning and I will try to make some later when I mastered using the new mixer of aunt,it is big and hard to use but I will get use to it soon.Aunt asked me if I wanted to take a baking lesson or cullinary classes in Sullivan University but I am not sure if I wanted to go back to school with this kind of hardship we have,in terms of money matter we are tight and I don't wanna take a student loan for i will be in debt for how many years. As of now,I am just happy learning by myself,as long as it is edible and I am having fun making it,that is the most important thing as of the moment.

My future baby?

I saw this in Jacys blog and I was curious to see how my baby gonna look like.Tell me what you think?Should I put it into reality or just leave it as my Virtual Baby for-ever=)...

Saying Goodbye is really hard to Do =D

No!!I am not saying goodbye to you and to anybody,I am saying goodbye to something that I really love who has been with me for almost 7 yrs.It has been with me in everything I been through in my life,when I feel happy,down,sad,if I feel fat or an imaginary feeling of being sexy,it always has been there for me.When I am goin out with a friend and I can't find a perfect pair of whatever outfit I am wearing,it has always been my saviour. But now,it is time for me to let it go,I dont't want to but I feel sorry for it has been overused over the years.I am not sure if I can still find something like that,for me it had been the best.Yes,the best!and I am talking about my favorite jeans in my entire life. As I am looking at it,it is like an old man,faded,worn-out,not functioning at all.So I decided to keep it in one of my boxes where it can rest forever.I love you my Levis Jeans....thanks for those wonderful times where you made me feel good,sassy and confident because of you.You will be missed and hopefully Ican find something like you.

Counting the days

Every year I am anticipating of my birthday,I know something special will come out but this year it would be very different,I am not expecting anyting because financially we are drain,I been trying to hide my emotion everytime my aunt would ask me what I want,I always knew what I wanted to have in terms of material things but I have no answer to give her,I just smiled and said that she don't have to worry or bother about it. Honestly,all that happened to me,good and bad had been a blessing,some like a blessing in disguise,you lost some,you win some,that is the fact of life,always expect the unexpected.I am happy that we are all healthy,we have food in the table,roof under our head and we can buy something what we really want once in a while. Two days from now,I will mark my 29th years here on earth.I am thanking the Lord for all the gifts and blessing He gave me.Though I haven't feel the love of my parents I am totally loved with my aunts and uncles,especially tita D and tita Jing,they are my rock and through this,I wanted to say THANK YOU for the unconditional love that you showed to me,sometimes I know I am such a whiner and a pain in your ass but I LOVE YOU both with all my heart.I am not what I am today if not because of you two. To myself....Happy Birthday in Advance....and I may grow with compassion and understanding,happiness and contentment in my heart.

And they Wonder

Last night some of my friends and me(they are all hitched)had a dinner together at Mordeicas,a buffet restaurant.We had a very good meal and while we were eating we will always update each other about our lovelives errr..their lovelives to be exact.Most of the time they complain how hard it is to have a small kids and a husband to take care of.As always,I am just a listener,smile and nod or sometimes I share my input if i had too. But lastnight,it was different,I was the one in the hotseat.One asked me when was the last time I had a date with an opposite sex.I replied just recently but I don't see any reason why I had to go out with him again..he is so boriiiinnnnng!!!Another friend of mine said,everytime you go out with a guy,you always had a complain,which is true,I am not picky but do I really have to date just to say or show to people that I am dating?I have my own fair share of heartache and actually I am liking someone without my friends knowing who he is. I don't want to go out with a local guy here in our city for they are not really my type,don't get me wrong but I just can't imagine myself getting invloved with a man who is so limited with their ambitions in life and have a very conservative way of thinking. My closest friend said out loud that they are wondering why I am still single,I have the looks(?),I am smart( i will take it as a compliment),and I have a potential to be a good mom and a wife.So why?my explaination was simple,I don't see why can't I be single and be happy about it.If I get married then we will see aif it will happen but I won't put my hope so high for it is not under my control.Everything has it's time and it's season so all I can do for now is wait and see.

And I am LOving it..

Last night I was so restless about how my haircut gonna turn-out,and today is the day, to find-out the result....WEll,i do love it...I didn't cut it really short,Jessica,the hairstylish told me not to cut it too short for the reason that longer locks suits me and I believe her. She colored my hair,from black to brunette,I was worried that it will came out reddish or orange but it came out pretty good,like a natural color that matches my skintone.I was there for 2 hours,from coloring,trimming and waxing my eyebrows,today is my day=)..

Just being a Girl

I am still awake and it is past midnight.Tomorrow is my haircut and I am not sure if I am excited or having a second thought.I really wanted to grow my hair longer but it never happen and maybe never will be.I promise to myself that I will not look at the hairstyle magazine so I won't change my mind. Last year I cut off my hair really short during winter time,it was a lesson for me.So tomorrow is the day,hopefully it will turn out good so that I will feel beautiful and happy.We women,loves our hair so much,it is part of our life and having a bad hair day is really disappointing.So wish me luck=). I am saying sayonara to my shoulder lenght hair,it will grow back before i know it.

Being nostalgic

Here I am,wishing and hoping that everything well be fine.Thank you guys for sharing your time and thoughts with me.I will write longer when I feel much better,the weather is killing me and now I officially hate cold season.Can't wait for another summer to come,to feel the sun shining bright on me.

Embracing Life...no matter how hard.

MyNiceSpace.com This past few days I am in big turmoil,it feels like I carry the weight of the world in my shoulder.It is hard to please everyone especially if that person plays a very essential part in your life. I just wish that they will realize one day that I am my own me,I made mistake,stumble yet I learned.I want to find-out what is out there,broaden my horizon and embrace any possiblities that will come around.I am tired of being treated like a kid.They must realize that they will not be here forever to guide me.I have to embrace life ,no matter how hard it will be. I don't wanna end up wondering what might have been or could have been if I follow what I wanted to happen for myself,I appreciate all the concerned but sometimes I need to breath,need to have my own space,and take control of mylife.I am a capable individual,please,just let me be.

LAsik Eye Surgery

Yesterday Migs had his Lasik eye surgery,before he left he told me that he is really excited to get rid of his eye glasses.He is been wearing his genius looking eyeglasses when he was 9 yrs old and now he is 21,a young man with a 10 yr old heart.I mean he is such a good and a very fine young man. when he arrived from the surgery,I can't help but giggle because he looked like a big tumble bee with his huge goggles,he can barely see and after 2 hrs he was in excruciating pain.He asked me for his pain medicine but it didn't help,so I called up his dad to prescribed higher dose,he was screaming and said he regrets the procedure.I feel sorry for him cause he had so many eyedrops every 15 mins or so,and if he scratches his eyes he might get blind totally. What really caught my attention is the goggles,he looks like Kanye West,while I am typing this,i can't help but smile,sorry Migs,don't mean to but it looks funny to me. Anyway LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. A mechanical microkeratome (a blade device) or a laser keratome (a laser device) is used to cut a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middlesection of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced. There are other techniques and many new terms related to LASIK that you may hear about. This morning he took off the funny goggles and told me that he feels much better and can tolerate the light compare yesterday.I said that's how it is little boy,No pain,No gain.

It is a new World..out tHere..

Ok you might wonder what the heck I will talk about,last night me and my lil cuz cuz Kat,had a huge fighta s her mom called it,imagine she is only 8 yrs old and a 3rd grader asked me to help her with her project.Iwas so tired from work and all that I am dealing with at work and her she is bugging me to do her school project. The very reason why I don't want to help her is because her project is cooking/baking something.As I read the guidelines,I was appaled because how can a 3rd grader can do such thing.And I was refusing in a meanest face I can gave to her but she won't stop following and begging,so of course I ended up helping her. I am just suprised cause when I was in 3rd grade,ages ago,I can't even remember we did such thing as cooking or baking,I remembered vividly we had like a girlscout thing but the higher grade were the one in-charge for that dangerous stuff and now as young as 8 yrs ol they already have cooking/baking class.Why can't a kid be a kid for awhile?They grow up so fast now adays why they have to learn that in their very tender age? It is really a new world out there,and it scares me.Everything right now is in haste,full of pressure and caught up in the middle of everyhing that is goin on around us.I am just glad that I came here ready and able to stand with my own two feet.And below is the finished product of Kats project and she gave me a tight hug.A good reward for me.

Out of my comfOrt Zone

Baking is not really my thing,you can make me cook everyday,clean up the house or do the laundry and ironing,just don't let me bake.But lastnight,I really tried to make an effort to bake something,so I decided to make the Pineapple Upside Down and at the same time bake the chocolate-coconut bars.I had having difficulty but I took a deep breath and said to myself that I can do this...So here are my finished products:
