tuesday dinner

Dory fillet with cilantro, tomato and garlic...

recycled yesterday's sauteed cabbage. Uber delicious.

this love is mine

almost 8

I can't believe Celine is almost 8 years old. She'll be celebrating her birthday this Wednesday.

It's been almost 8 years since I was 18 and was becoming an older sister for the first time.

I can still remember when you were a baby. You were such a joy and some things never change. This is one of those pleasant things that I'm happy that didn't change at all. The always happy, sociable, energetic and lovable Celine.

Thank you God for giving her to us.

Please guide her as she grows gracefully into a young woman.

capers

I feel like I've outdone myself tonight.

I had white fish so I was thinking of making some sort of Mediterranean thing with capers and tomatoes..

But laziness got the best of me.

So I saw this bottle of pesto lying around so I just slathered it all over the top of the fish, then I put pepper, garlic and a bit of capers.

Dang... It was so good. Although the capers made it slightly salty so I don't know if it's still healthy.

I also made sauteed cabbage by sauteing it with garlic, olive oil, pepper and liquid aminos.


Liquid aminos and garlic are my bestfriends.

what's cookin?

I bought a kilo of eggplant from Tita Brenda today at the farm... They were so fresh and of course organic...

So when I got home I was so hungry, I made something really quick for dinner.. Eggplant Parmigiana!

Prepared the Pomodoro sauce last night with tuna, fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions and mushrooms... Then just put them together with Xilca's goat cheese... also from the Farm!

Was a great dinner with half a slice of tosted whole wheat bread.

Perfection!

parents!

I love my parents. No matter how crazy our family is... Nothing can change my love for them.

I love you.

foster the people

I love them.

Date with 남친

Watched Underworld today with Uri.

Underworld was pretty awesome and fun. I felt like I worked out coz I was dodging the blows myself while i was seated... I think I screamed a few times that's why the lady beside us were shushing us. Movies with Uri are always fun.

I'm extremely happy I get to spend more time with her nowadays. Don't know how I survived not seeing her for months and months when we were both super busy.

True love haha

DVD night

Watching this tonight.

Pretty old but I didn't want to start with City Hunter coz I wanted something with loads of girls to see their style and fashion. City Hunter is too action-ey.

Gawd, I sound like a ditz.

나는 전설이다...ㅋㅋ

사실이야~ 무하하하함~~ ㅎㅎ

soul

joss stone... you rock

DIY lunch again

Lunch I prepared this morning.. Would have wanted to take a photo of the smoked salmon omelet I made for me and my mom for breakfast but it didn't look nice.

Tuna and Cucumber Salad with Blush Wine Vinaigrette


If you kidnap me and make me your slave, I'll have a lot of skills I can do such as makeup, nail art and cooking. Haha!

the boys

two men in my love that i love with all my heart.

happy birthday to the one on the right... Thanks for putting up with me the past 25 years of my life.

Even if we're not the average kind of family, nor are you the average kind of father, I don't think I'll have it any other way.

You're a true inspiration and you continue to inspire me with the amount of love you have in you that you're so willing to share with others.

I will always believe in your vision.

I love you, Papa.

accomplishment!

I feel like I've accomplished something major today.

I was able to cook my own dinner that's oil-free and salt-free!

Pan-seared tanigue (mackerel) and steamed broccoli :)

It looks good, doesn't it? It tasted amazing!

farmer

Loving the farm scene

:)

gold fish

I just realized something..

I care a lot for people and I don't really care much about being reciprocated.

But then nowadays, I feel like I'm borderline stupid because there's just some days when I feel ecstatic... but there are also some days that I feel like I'm just an after thought, a hobby... or someone you go to when you're bored.



I don't know if I have to demand nor do I know if I have the privilege to give as much as I would want to.

I don't know what I am.

new!

New camera after 4 years... I love how easy it is to take photos with this one :) Aside from that... It's PINK!

through it all...

Just smile.

No matter what happens, I shall not lose the ability to smile. Amidst all the heart aches, there are always things to be thankful for.

day 10

Gosh.

Tonight's dinner was delicious. It's called Fisherman's stew. Basically it was white fish and shrimp in some sort of marinara sauce with black olives.


Died.


Didn't even get to take a photo. I was starving. :)

foodie

Day 9 of my diet.

I think I can do this. I did Zumba tonight with the limited calories I have in my body. There were times when I wanted to just stop... But I didn't... And I didn't faint. It's a good sign. I think my body's getting used to my 1200cal/day thing.

This is tonight's dinner. Something I realized since salt isn't really a good/allowed option for me... capers is a good idea to adding some sort of saltiness into my food but still be considered a veg.

I'm really gonna start on looking for recipes I can do aside from the ones I have tasted through my diet program.

I shall make this a success.

My whole body hurts coz Kristy was intense tonight with her moves .... But I love the pain.

God help me.

focus

Everyday is a blessing for me. However, I'd be lying if I say that I don't feel slightly sad when the message arrives and I'd be fast asleep only to see it a few hours later and it's too late.

diet mode

So this is my dilemma today... I have these two treats in front of me and I can't choose either one...

For my snack I will just stick with my 10pcs of unsalted roasted peanuts.


Great training for me to curb my cravings. Especially hard now because I'm on my period. (TMI)

Anyhow... I'm proud to say I've lost 7lbs in 6 days!!!!!


Woot! Woot! I shall celebrate by eating a jelly bean... Or not... Haha

one of the things i hate the most is people criticizing and being negative about things in the Philippines.

Classic example is the new Department of Tourism campaign.

Seriously? If you don't have anything nice to say, then shut your trap. Complaining about it will not bring progress and change in the Philippines. Seriously? What do you get from bashing? People thinking you know better? It just makes you look stupid.



Call me an idealist but I have great hope that there will be changes in the coming years if we just all work together to bring our country up. Let's all work together to improve our country's image, not our own personal image. At the end of the day, people outside will still see us a Filipino, not Camille Meloto, or not Juan dela Cruz.

Nahmsayin?

I strongly believe that it's an effective campaign - not only for tourists to want to go to the Philippines, but for most importantly for Filipinos... It's as if it's an exercise for us to rediscover and appreciate all the beauty there is about our country and our people that we have forgotten about.

risks

when you don't risk anything, you won't feel that it's worth it.


risk it.

the closer it gets

the closer it gets.. the crazier i become.

my heart skips a beat.

it's another hello and good bye.

cute!

Sorry I dunno who the artist is...I just saw them on Pinterest.

So cute and lovely!! <3
