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

How stuff works: Piso Bid anyone?

First of all, I am in no way, related to the owners of Pisobid.com at present (it's a small world after all) and I'm writing this blog because I like to analyze and figure out how things work :) I was reading through my Ymail when I saw this ad for Pisobid.com. The name caught my attention and all that was running through my mind was the thrill of bidding - Ebay alert hihihi. When the website opened, I saw that there were a lot of gadgets up for grabs, among the lot was an iPhone 4 which I really wanted but didn't have the heart to spend Php 40,000 for a cellphone. Upon closer inspection, they are giving away ipads, LV bags and GCs. Hmmmmm.... let's give it a try! I never did like reading instructions and policy agreements so I just purchased a 35 bids for Php 500 so that I can start bidding. It's actually pretty easy to bid, all it takes is a click of a button, money is gone. HAHAHA In the pisobid, you actually use real money to buy bid, in this case, 1 bid ...
