3 Smoothies That Will Give You Summer Vibe

Image
It's more than 1 month ago when we bought a new blender. It's now a month old. Yey! Sorry if I used you too much to make smoothies but don't worry they were all refreshing! Even before when I was like 10 years old I always wanted to have a blender. Perhaps the main reason is it still amazes me how it can turn solid into like slime in just a snap. Isn't it a great invention? It's really a great help especially for those who have issue in chewing their food or somewhat tired of eating.  Living in a tropical country like the Philippines will give you so much love to the sun and fruits. It's like you always want the whole year to be summer and your house is nearby the beach. Oh my I want another summer! So, to pacify myself I will just drink a lot of tropical fruits smoothie which I personally created. These were just inventions. As much as possible I would really want to have a very light and clean taste of the fruits. Smoothies are not only helpful if you...

Filipinos totally love to eat and I can say that food is everyone's weakness. And do you know how to make them smile? Well, Filipinos are naturally happy people but one thing I can assure that will make them love you is to taste their food on the table. Yes! Filipino food. Since we are known to be very hospitable, eating our food is a nice gesture to say you appreciate the treatment. Like what they say too "when in rome, do what the romans do". Without a doubt Filipino dishes are something that will not stop you to eat. From chinese, spanish, japanese to american. Thanks to different influences which made it really tasty and full of flavors. Moreover, our love for food can never be compromised especially if it's sweet. Like the normal person we still stick from the rule, eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of the time with rice and extra rice. So, if you wanna know more the culture of the Philippines. I highly recommend to start with our food. To help ...

Discover Divisoria - Bargain Hunt At The Philippines Shopping Mecca

It's January 2017 now for sure your 13th month pay already lost in space. Where did you use it? In the Philippines indeed everyone will agree that one of the best things you can get as a hardworking employee is the so-called 13th month salary benefit. Am I correct? By the term itself it's the value of your basic salary per month. But definitely it will be prorated if you were hired in the middle of the calendar year or you spent less than 12 months in your company. Usually that can be withdrawn in your debit card last week of November or first until second week of December. In short, it's raining Peso in the country every December. Sadly, thieves too. There are a lot of things Filipinos do with their money. Either they save it, pay for different bills, additional payment to their newly bought dream home or the usual shopping. I think I forgot one? Pretty much most of us are using it as budget for the holiday. Like many, I also use it to buy gifts or ingredients for o...

"Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot and old lang syne?" 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Happy New Year! Still can't get over with the new year's anthem? How about the crazy little things you did last new year's eve countdown? Oh my! So sad I missed one of the most emotional moments of the year. But that's okay even if I have a bit of bitterness and even though I missed my favorite time of the year I'll again turn over a new leaf. Man! Can the world just stop the people from working during new year's eve? I wanna join the countdown and see the fireworks display. It's really special for me. Well, anyhow it is over. The new year's ball drop in Time Square and dazzling fireworks display all over the world, from Burj Khalifa-Dubai, Sydney Harbour-Australia, Victoria Harbour-Hong Kong to Manila Bay-The Philippines are now just part of the history. For those who missed these? Don'...

What would you do if no one is home? Pretty much they left you alone. Sad, right? Yeah I felt devastated too. I've been struggling being too much independent for the past few days. What's hard about it is you tend to deprive your usual 8 hours of sleep. It's like you're working all day long. But what's great on the other side is I spent so much time in the kitchen. Somewhat I was able to master my cooking skills. Imagine you're cooking while singing all by myself of celine dion. Sad, right? But since I'm introvert that helped me to be more focused on what I'm doing. For sure, what I made were 100% delicious. So, I already posted my recipes last christmas and for new year'eve celebration. But I wanna add two more recipes. I can say these are two of my comfort foods. Let's start the taste test!  Caldereta 1 Kilo Pork Meat Oyster Sauce Calamansi Juice or Lime Cheddar Cheese Salt Garlic Onion Potatoes Bell Pepper ...

3 Mouthwatering Filipino Desserts For Media Noche

Image
Happy New Year! Time indeed flies so fast. It was just like three weeks ago when we spent the christmas holiday dinner with our family where in the Philippines we call it "noche buena". And now? Sadly, new year's eve countdown is over too. I'm really sad because I wasn't able to appreciate that moment and to witness the fireworks display outside our house. Well, honestly I don't go outside during the countdown every year because of the smoke but only last year of 2016 that I had no chance to hear the firecrackers much louder and to spend that eve with my family. They were at my aunt's house while me, I was at work devoted to deliver on what they call "excellent customer service". Totally that was the first time it happened. But as they say too "oh boy, it's part of life". Its either to take it or leave it. Later on I realized that everything was just okay. Anyhow it still helped me to be much more independent even if it's...
