Bonding Day

What seems to be the start of a perfect night can go haywire.

To celebrate Famealy Day, the office declared that employees can go home as early as 5:00pm. I have not been able to do so in a long time, this was my time!

Despite the heavy traffic that welcomed me as I approached EDSA, I was not to be fazed, I was determined to have dinner with my family.

An hour later, I was driving up to our house, an hour of traffic all behind me, excited to have dinner. I was welcomed by the sound of frying garlic inside a hot pan and the scent of Sinigang (Sinigang is a Filipino soup or stew characterized by its sour flavor traditionally with tamarind).

Things are looking better and better I must say!

Menu for tonight's dinner consisted of Stuffed Ampalaya (Bitter Melon), Sinigang, Stir Fried Kang Kong (Water Spinach) and Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly)

The meal ended with local fruits Rambutan and Lansones (Langsat).

Blissfully full, I was not ready to let this long night go to waste. I plan to organize my room starting with the accessories.

Halfway through the organization and deciding what should go together, I head my car honk, my brother is home awfully early from his usual monday night basketball game.

It turns out that he fell during the game and landed on his elbow, me- having the weakest stomach in the family, I felt faint and woozy but I had to snap out of it to take my brother to the ER.

We took my brother to Orthopedic Center in Banawe (a government hospital) and while the hospital fees were minimal, the treatment could have been better. 

Needless to say it was a long night for my family but the best thing about this is, we actually did achieve Famealy day, we had dinner together, talked together and had the unfortunate time to spend at the ER together.

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 ...
