Gastronomic weekends with my MOM

Every Friday, I always vow to start losing weight the next day because of the late Friday night dinners that are more often than not carbs+fat combined. But every Saturday I always find myself breaking my vow.

My mom is one of those typical mom who would wake up early in the morning to fix us breakfast and would make sure we have merienda (snack) to eat by the time we get home from school. Even if the merienda is just a bowl of cup noodles, we will always have something to expect . So imagine her frustration when I started working in advertising and started to go home late at night. I no longer had a chance to eat any meals with them because I am always in a rush, leaving for work early in the morning and coming home late at night. So as retaliation for all those missed dinners, my mom would make up for it during weekends.

Weekend is a gastronomic feast to the stomach. With typically 4 meals a day, weekend is something you shouldn't miss. Breakfast would typically consist of sinangag rice with either corned beef, tuna, hotdogs or tapa with egg. Lunch and dinner consists of 3 ulam and soup. Merienda will either be pancakes, hot pandesal, or pasta. Weekend is also the time we can request for our favorite food.

Whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, my mom would never fail to surprise us with different dishes.

I love my mom. My dad, brother and I, we get the best.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Mo Twister, Narnia and Bitch Smile

December 3, 2010 Today we got a surprise visit from Mo Twister and Rhian Ramos. Noj had business meeting with him and he toured them around the office. We managed to get a quick picture with him before they left. Kevin with Rhian Ramos. He's quite red from all the attention he's getting. Group picture with Mo. My height: 5' 3 1/2".

The best part about the movie is that I got to see snow again(The movie was in 3D). We arrived quite late and I missed the first 10 minutes but my brother told me nothing much happened. I did miss a few great 3D effects. Ended the night with dinner at Recipes with Noj, April, Finj, Em, Rommel and Donna. Where Donna once again practiced her "bitch smile" aka Heart Evangelista smile. Hipstamatic pictures using Em's Iphone. Drool! I want one but it co...
