Poor man’s Sinigang

Monday, June 28th, 2004

Sinigang is one of the most popular Filipino soupy dishes. This is a very simple meat and vegetable tamarind-based soup we eat with rice. The most popular meat used is pork (Sinigang na Baboy). For alternatives, one can also use beef, shrimp or milkfish. Other souring ingredients can also be used aside from tamarind. For [...]


Short and sweet

Friday, June 25th, 2004

Did you know that an average mind can only retain 7 units at any given time?
So instead of saying: “Honey, I just took a shower so I still feel fresh and I don’t want to smell bad could you take out the trash because it really stinks outside and I don’t want to have to [...]


My other men

Thursday, June 24th, 2004

Dalawang beses nahulog panty ko nung isang gabi.*
I decided to go home early last Tuesday because I was feeling bad (emotionally) at work. I was home around 7:30-ish. Ha! I immediately flopped down on the couch and turned the TV on. Lo and behold, it was my long-time crush on TV, my one and only [...]


A new journey for Mattie

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004

Goodbye, Mattie Stepanek.
Mattie is a 14-year-old boy who struggled with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. You can read more about him through the link above. He passed away yesterday, June 22nd. Mattie was a very special kid. I first saw him in Oprah and immediately grew to admire this little boy. He wrote poetry. [...]


Quiet corners

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004

Even if we live in a tiny condo unit, H and I have our own quiet corners. This is the area where one can leave the other undisturbed. This is the spot where one can be left in his or her reverie, where one feels most rested and calm.
When I was still single and [...]


Reflections

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2004

Question: There’s a video I want to share with you. How do I upload one on the net so you can see it? Help!
Sharing: My friend B emailed me yesterday and part of her note went, “I really admire you……for your simplicity and maturity…but most of all, for embracing love and life quietly but passionately.” [...]


Five Random Things on a Friday

Friday, June 18th, 2004

In my humble opinion:
Dulcinea’s Churros are way better than Max Brenner’s Churros. Then again, maybe that’s because I’m not a chocolate person. I also like the Dulcinea ones because they’re long and fat, more for my money.
Wendy’s Frosty is best partnered with french fries. The mix of a hot salty french fry and the cool [...]

It followed her to school one day…

Tuesday, June 15th, 2004

A colleague and I were talking about his children, and I brought up the subject of educational plans. H & I have considered getting such a plan, even if we don’t have children yet. My colleague said it’s a big help — his daughter’s yearly tuition is P90,000, and P70,000 of that is care of [...]


Peanut Butter Neverland

Monday, June 14th, 2004

I am a peanut butter lover. More specifically, I am a crunchy peanut butter lover. I put peanut butter on everything. I had it for breakfast just now, along with some sweet apples. Note how I said I had peanut butter WITH apples, not apples with peanut butter. That’s an entirely different thing. After I [...]
