While driving...

in C5 last night, I saw this truck in front of me...

Hihihi, one of these chickens could be in anyone's dinner plate tonight!

What Your Little Black Dress Says About You

The Little Black Dress Test

What's the inside of my soul?

Just so love this quiz...

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget. You are not a very grounded person. You prefer dreams to reality. For you, it's all about possibilities. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you're concerned, that's a very good thing. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

My Yearbook

This is so so fun. I snagged this from Alpha!

Although, I was not born yet on this year, this is how I should look then...

In, 1972, it was all about colorful curdoroys.

In 1978, (i was just 1 year old then), designer jeans hugged the hips of every girl.

Hair-sprayed bangs were huged in 1982...

In 1984, neon colors made the hallway glow...

Ten years after in baby tees were tight fitting trend in 1994...

In 1998, girls were sporting flatform heels...

And by 2000, everyone got their exercise in their little push scooters...

Cool right? You can do yours here.

I need friends!

Thanks to Jhona.

We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us
when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us
one we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.

Spread the poem of friendship.

Another new yaya...

Ok, I have another yaya woes. The current yaya of Margaux is asking permission that she would go home already in their province. You see, this is the yaya who left November last year after the birthday of Bianca . She was the original yaya of Bianca and became Margaux's when she returned January. Actually, Dicky and I really like her and we even have full trust in her for everything about the house.   In other words, she is our "mayordoma!"  Hahaha.  We had her take PAL going to Manila cause we don't want her to travel 36 hours by boat.  We even included her in our Boracay trip.  And seriously, we are considering to bring her to US this year for the trip if she would be approved for a visa because I don't know how I can manage to handle two kids while travelling to US!    We have invested so much on her already.  But apparently for some unaccepted reasons like her mom is asking her again to go home, she is again giving in to that option.  Dicky tried to talk to her, dahil mas malumanay syang makipag-usap than me.  Dicky didn't allow her to buy her tickets right away without us finding a replacement.   I actually felt bad that she's leaving.  I feel like sayang all our investments when she actually doesn't weigh things how much we can help her.  

I rested my case so I had to look for a replacement right away!  Good thing a friend recommended someone from Cagayan.  And the new yaya will arrive Thursday. Gosh, need to pick up at 4am in the bus station!   I hope things would go well with this new yaya.  I'm asking the current yaya to train her properly cause I told her she cannot leave without turn-overing everything, cause I even trust her with some of my office stuff like filling, etc.  

Hoping for the best!

Crabs, crabs, crabs!

When we went to Singapore two weeks ago, we had a time of our life enjoying chili crabs! Super yummy. I have always love eating seafood especially shrimps and crabs. And recently, my MBAP friends are planning to have a get-together in the famous "dampa" where we would eat all seafood recipes to our hearts delight. But the plan for the meet up would still be by end of the month of August so I don't think I can wait any longer! Last night, I was telling Dicky that we should go to "dampa" this weekend to enjoy buttered shrimps and sczechuan crabs this time! But Dicky suggested that we should just buy the ingredients and make our own recipe. So have been on the look out now for a great and easy step recipe on a feast that we would enjoy on sunday. Any suggestions what kind of recipe to prepare? I browsed through the net and was able to find out about the Great American Food Cook off. This event is so interesting because there would be a lot of contenders for the event featuring their best seafood recipe. It is a phenomenal event being watched for by culinary experts and likes of me who would like to know how to make great seafood recipe. I wonder which would be awarded as the best recipe? I would love to learn from these contenders so I can also make one like this:
