“In the red corner, weighing in at 150 lbs…”

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Never go to bed angry with the one you love. How many times have you heard that line? Even if we hear it one too many times, there is truth to that saying. While you could stay up and fight, once it’s resolved you both go to bed happy in each other’s arms without the [...]


What is this?

Monday, February 26th, 2007

What do you call this fruit? They look like tiny oranges and are a little bit bigger than calamansi. No need to peel or slice these little things. Just pop one into your mouth or bite right into it. It is citrusy sweet and very refreshing! I was told it also soothes a sore [...]


Chocolate Covered Spoons

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

This one’s a long-delayed post. Last Christmas, I gave some of my officemates chocolate covered spoons. I got the idea from an old issue of Good Housekeeping. After looking through the net for additional ideas, my sister, H and I rolled up our sleeves and started preparing these tasty goodies. They are very easy to [...]

The Pot of Gold’s Right Here

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Here’s the deal with Manila. I hate the traffic. EDSA is hell especially on weekends, when the usual three lanes becomes two because of construction going in the middle of the highway. I hate the buses that wreak havoc with their smoke-belching and insane lack of road ethics. I hate the jeepneys that stop for [...]


Light and Easy Pasta Primavera

Friday, February 16th, 2007

Here’s a simple dish my Mom and I prepared together recently. It’s light, nutritious and perfect for vegetable lovers. Pasta Primavera.
What you’ll need:
Zucchini, 3 pieces
Carrots, 4 pieces
White onions, 3 pieces
Red Bell Pepper, 4 pieces — if you have yellow, use yellow because it’s sweeter!
Pasta Bows, 250 grams — or whatever shape you’re into
Salt and [...]


Valentine’s Pet

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

“I have a surprise for you!”
H & I don’t exchange presents on Valentine’s, so imagine my surprise when he asked me to hold out my hands over dinner. Ta-da! It was a cute little Cyber Pet, think Tamagotchi. How adorable! I had one of these toys in college. In the middle of Philosophy class, I [...]


A Valentine Monkey

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Do you have any special date tonight? Do you have any special traditions with your friends and loved ones? Ooooh, exciting. Whatever your plans are on Valentine’s day, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. H & I don’t have any Valentine’s Day traditions because we treat every day like Valentine’s. *MUSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!* Heehee. Sorry, I couldn’t help [...]


Hot Noodle Soup

Monday, February 12th, 2007

Comfort is a bowl of hot noodle soup. That’s it. No frills. The plain Hong Kong noodles are enough to keep my inner child happy as I slurp and twirl the ribbons around my fork. The hot broth is enough to send waves of soothing and comfort through my body. Mmmmm.
Sometimes of course, it’s nice [...]

Tina tagged me to share 5 things others don’t know about me. Let’s see… [...]
