Hello everybody! Happy New Year to all… I wanna say sorry to all anonymous bloggers who visited my blog and wants my puto cheese recipe specially to the one who wants my recipe before new year. I read your comments just now. I’m so sorry. I wanted to help you but its too late now obviously hehe…. I wanna thank you for liking my recipe specially my puto cheese.. there are lots of reasons kung bakit hindi tutubo ang puto cheese, one is yong egg tsaka sa pag mix din. There’s time limit in mixing the batter to achieve a perfect batter. Don’t mix the batter for more than 5 mins. And you should be careful in sparating the egg whites and egg yolk. If you drop a tiny amount of yellow in your whites tapos ang white mo palpak lahat that’s why hindi tutubo yan. Its like you are making a cake in this recipe too so all the ingredients should be accurate and nasa timing lang talaga. Normal lng na palpak ang recipe mo frst pero makukuha mo rin yan just keep on trying until makukuha mo nang tama.

Happy cooking everyone!

Good to be back!

2010-11-26T10:41:00.003+07:00

Merry Christmas to all! Its been a year I haven’t updated my blog. Now I’m happy to be back here. Oh how days fly by so fast. Few days from now and it will be Christmas. I hate Christmas because for the second time in 2 years I don’t celebrate my Christmas and special occasions with my husband. (Sigh) He’s too far away from me now. Me and my husband are one example of a long distance relationship. He’s a Canadian and I’m a Filipina, got married last year. Still processing our paper in the Canadian Embassy but hopefully soon we will be together again.

I'm so excited to post new recipe's here again soon. I miss cooking and baking... but sad to say my mixer is broken. But that wont stop me from making pastries and cakes! be happy everyone!

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year Everyone!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all!! Hope you enjoy your Christmas together with your love one's and family. To me its the loneliest christmas I ever felt in my entire life because my husband is not here to celebrate with me. But still happy in a way that my family is here, we had a party last x'mas day. I'm happy because they liked what I prepared for them. I made a macaroni salad, springroll, chicken with black bean sauce, etc., and one of my favorite thing to do, a butter cake with mango toppings and strawberry cream. I'm gonna share to you the desserts that I made.

If anyone wants my recipe, feel free to drop me a message here, I would love to share it with you.

The Big Moment of my life

2009-10-29T16:58:00.008+07:00

My tiger (thats what I call my boyfriend) and I just got married last September 25, 2009. When I think about the hardships that we went through before we got married specially the preparations, we just laugh at it. There's this time that I thought we cant get married in the church because of some complications in his part. And there are times that I almost give up because of my being so uptight with my religion.. But finally we did it. Until now I still can’t believe that we are married already. Thanks to God and our continued prayers, everything just went smoothly on our wedding day though its not perfect, there are problems along the way but I can say is that I got what I always dream of when I get married.

My Bachelorrettes days are over....all the happy go lucky days are gone now. I’m excited to start the new chapter of my life with my husband though I’m a little nervous of what future is ahead of us. But my husband and I are confident to take challenges and trials will come along the way, though prayers, trust, and our love each other, we will do this.

I want to thank my family who really helped me and encourage me everyday. If not for them we would not get married in the church where I always dream of walking in the isle of the church through the altar.

To my baby…. I love you and I always trust you and help you in any way I can and be with you as long as I live. ‘Till do us part. And I’m proud to be Mrs. Delia Jureskin.

If anyone here in Davao del sur specially Digos City needs a nice and trustworthy catering service, I can recommend Roding’s Food Service… They make a good service and make good food specially cakes. They are not the same catering service that are corrupt.. I mean you don’t get the amount of food that is intended for you budget. But with them, you can even take home all the extra and left over foods. And they make a nice and decent reception too. You can click this friendster.com to contact them.

This is my one and only wonderful father, Mr. Celedonio Yborde. Papa is a cool and loving father to us and a good husband to my mother, so thoughtful and kind to his friends and relatives. A family oriented and a very religious man. He always supports us and helps us in anything we do. He is a type of guy that is not so complicated, he makes friends to everybody. He always love to have a dinner together with family and talk about everything specially politics and religion, and sometimes joke around and just laughing together etc… And he loves to go outing together with the family.

Words cant express how I love and thank him and of course mama too. Not so long ago I was a little headache to them specially to papa hehe... and there were times that i got mad at him and mama for you know... interfering with my lovelife hehe... But of course parents are always right... and I wanna thank them for that. I remember before when we were kids, he was so strict to us, there were times before that we were not so close to us back then, because he likes to discipline us hehe.... but we would not be where we are now if not for papa and mama's guidance and discipline and love.

Even though you are not that so wise and keen and smart as before as in your younger years pa but still, we love you so much. Me and my sisters and brothers are so lucky to have a special father like you. We hope and pray that God will give you more strength and good health always…. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!! We love you….. muahhh……

Perfumes and Colognes

2009-04-30T13:55:00.005+07:00

I’m so glad I’m back here again in my blog.. I was so busy in my little business and my teaching career here for the past few months. Now that its summer here in the Philippines, meaning no class, no work, its vacation time!

Hmm… when you say summer here in my country, my gosh its super, super hot here…. You always love to go to a place where its cold or has an air conditions like shopping malls and other place where you can relax and have a good time like the beach and swimming pools etc. And you love to take a bath 2 or 3 times a day, and put lots and lots of colognes and powder to feel fresh and smell good..

Hmm.. speaking of perfumes and colognes, whole page is not enough for me to write about it because I do love to collect colognes and perfumes. I found this helpful link, www.scent.com, its all about colognes and perfumes that you can choose to buy. Hmm….. This means its time for me to add my collection again hehe… if i'm going to buy a perfume or a cologne for myself i want a very mild scent and not an over powering one, as i am allergic to an overwhelming odor, i cant stand with a strong scent my asthma will react fast. You can tell i am so picky with my scent but there's one perfume that i really like, it was from my sister actually, her husband gave it to her as a gift, its Sarah Jessica Parker a limited edition from Lovely. I really like the smell, its so feminine, i never forget the scent, its sweet and floral, what I love about it is that its mild and yet its a kind of scent that it wont disappear after an hour, a scent that smelled by others too not just you and it stays in your skin whole day and even if you wash your clothes you still can smell it, a scent that you wont have a teary eyes if you spray it in yourself, or you wont sneeze when you smell it. I am lucky enough that i have it right now, I just wear it for a special occasion.

And there’s this one cologne for men that I really love, my boyfriend always wear it when he’s with me….its a cool water from Davidoff. Hmm….. he smells yummy! Hehe… I like it because its not so overpowering, and a very relaxing scent.

And I have my favorite colognes too…Actually I have lots of brands that I like,the Dolce & Gabanna,Giorgio Armani,Davidoff etc.. but there’s one flavor from Victoria’s Secret that I really love, a pear flavor. I like the scent of it because its so sweet and not too strong scent and it will last for whole day. And my other favorite cologne is a splash cologne from Sarah Lee, so cool and very mild scent but it will last for whole day too.And yet its not so expensive. I love to wear colognes everyday because it really makes me feel fresh and smells good, and so cool to my skin. And when I wear perfumes it makes me feel sexy and yummy hehe….

Buy a cologne that suits your kind of smell, and your personality. Lots of perfumes and colognes today that will express your moods...so go go go.. and express it with your kind of scent today!

Enjoy your summer!

Celebrity couple Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo finally tied the knot

2009-04-29T13:11:00.001+07:00

After almost a year of being engaged, celebrity couple Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo finally tied the knot early Tuesday morning, April 28 at San Juan Nepomuceno Church in San Juan, Batangas.

The private ceremony, which was closed to the media, started at around 7 a.m. and ended after an hour.

The wedding was officiated by Fr. Tito Caluag, the couple's spiritual adviser.

The couple's principal sponsors include -- Mon Isberto, Smart Communications spokesman; Bien Bautista, Ace photographer; Benjie Gonzales, Ryan's uncle from the US; Susie Entrata-Abrera, TV Host; Rory Quintos, TV & Movie Director; and Jane Buencamino, Judy Ann's road manager.

Megastar Sharon Cuneta, Santos' "sister-in-showbiz", was the matron of honor while Agoncillo's brother, Dondi, stood as best man.

Some of the country's top singers performed during the ceremony. Agot Isidro sang the song "Runaway" while Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid sang "The Prayer" during the offertory.

Isidro and Alcasid performed "One Hand, One Heart" during Communion.

The ceremony was attended by the couples' families and closest friends in and outside showbiz. Spotted at the event were Santos' mother, Carol, Senator Francis Pangilinan, KC Concepcion, Suzy Entrata, Paolo Abrera and directors Joyce Bernal and Rory Quintos.

As of posting time, the newly wed couple and their visitors are headed to an undisclosed private resort for the reception.

As early as last night, the couple and some of their guests were already spotted near the church to make sure that they will be present for the early wedding ceremony.

The couple decided to marry at daybreak to signal the new start in their lives as a married couple.

Agoncillo and Santos were first paired in the teleserye "Krystala" where their romance blossomed. They have starred in two movies together, "Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo" and "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo" -- both of which have been heavy earners at the tills.

Their next project for ABS-CBN is the teleserye "George & Cecil."

Agoncillo proposed marriage to Santos on her 30th birthday last year. They revealed the engagement a month later.

The couple have been mum about the actual date of their wedding with some news reports saying that the wedding was scheduled on May 2.

Santos earlier said they plan to go to Mexico for their honeymoon, according to an SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon report.

Santos, who turns 31 on May 11, has an adopted daughter named Johanna Lois or Yohan.

Congratulations to the newly weds!!! I pray that your marriage will last for a lifetime.

I made these cakes along with other foods that i made with bouquets of flowers for my dearest cousin Gina, she ordered these for her ever dearest mom, my aunt Mating and her aunt Pina, their birthdays are with the same month.So Lucky they have a sweet daughter and niece who always cares and think about them even if she's so far away from them...

My Scrappy

2009-02-02T10:34:00.005+07:00

This is my dog Scrappy, a mix breed of dutchand and native dog. I can't explain how important he is to me because, this dog is a very loyal, so sweet and a good guard dog, whenever my motorcycle, or my jeepy parked outside the gate of our house and or specially when i parked it beside the road near our house,and even papa's car, he will be there to guard it 24 hrs a day,rain or shine he will really guard it with his life. He will really protect our property. During at night he is our knight in shining armor. Even if sometimes his barks are so annoying already hehe... And whenever when we go out, he will guard the house no matter what. Oh I really cant find a dog like my scrappy. He is really one of a kind.

It was a sad sad sad weekend for me because he just died last Saturday. Until now I still dont know the cause of his death. But me and my family's assessment of the cause of his death is that he was got hit by a car here. I feel so frustrated and I really cried that day because I was not here when it happened, I was in Davao doing my teaching job that day. I remember that day when my maid texted me and told me what happened, I was so mad at her and to other people in the house because of what happened to scrappy. Until now I still cant forget my Scrappy specially when every morning I go to jog with him and my other dog Raven. I will really miss him.

Obama Supports for New World Order?

2008-12-01T16:07:00.002+07:00

I found this video from you tube about Obama's speach in Berlin. Is he the puppet of the NWO too? hm.... If you knew about the new world order thing then you can relate what I meant.I just wanna share this video because this is really interesting.

Sovereignty and globalisation

2008-11-25T16:49:00.000+07:00

I found this interesting site to read, its about Sovereignty and globalisation. it talks about the sovereignty and the global crisis today. thats why these powerful people proposed that its good for the world to unite and follow only 1 rule for every nation in the world and form a new world order.

Would you agree with this one world order? meaning no sovereignty or we dont have power to rule our own country, we only have one rule for all the countries in the world and is ruled by these elite people. In my opinion, I think its not good to to have a one world order, because you know we cant control our own country anymore, thats scary because anything can happen to us. Maybe this will be the start of the 666 government. My gosh what will happen to our children's future? Hope you read this....

My christmas tree

2008-11-24T17:10:00.002+07:00

Here in my country Philippines, its too late to decorate a christmas tree when you start decorating it in the middle of November. Me I just finished setting up and decorating my christmas tree yesterday. Well.. its never too late! I'm glad I set up my christmas tree because I really feel the spirit of christmas now... and Im glad my boarders liked it. Now they are excited to talk about our christmas party on Dec. hehe.... I just wanna share it to you my humble christmas tree.. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Special Students

2008-11-15T16:23:00.008+07:00

When you look at the picture here, who could say that they are different? Well they are not different than the other people but in fact they are special people, they are the the Hearing Impaired students (meaning they are deaf and mute students) . They are my college students in a Systems Technology Institute College of Davao City. I'm teaching them the basic computers and other subjects as well. I really enjoy watching them and or joining them in their conversations through their sign language, they have fun with each other. You know its nice to watch them because they are more close and very friendly with each other. Specially when you get to know them. they are more friendly than the normal people.

I learned the sign language because I have a sister who is a Hearing Impaired too. In this second picture is my sister Felicel, who is a teacher now in a Special Education school in Davao city. She is a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education In Laguna.She's more beautiful and petite and taller than me tsk tsk.. hehe... Before when she was small my other sister dina and I used to teach her some sign language that we learned, but now she is my teacher now specially in sign language that I didn't learned before. She helps me a lot with my job now as a teacher. My family and I are so happy because she is stable now. She has a job and can stand with her own feet now, though sometimes she still asks money to my parents but she's ok now.

You know I hate it when there are normal people would laugh at them or treat then not nice and specially when they make fun at them. Well... they are the one's not not normal than the special people like the hearing impaired people.

If you happened to see one of the hearing impaired people, try to befriend with them, they are more than happy to give back your kindness to them, and definitely you will enjoy their company.

3 Weeks with my Tiger

2008-10-22T17:19:00.007+07:00

My tiger visited me last Sept. 20 until Oct. 9, he stayed here for 3 weeks. I cant express how happy I am for the last 3 weeks passed that he was here. But double the pain I felt now that he's back in Canada. I hate this long distance relationship but what can I do? I happened to love a man from a thousand miles from here. Even my tiger suffered too. Oh well, this is our choice so we have to bear it and have patience for the right time to be with each other for a long time.

In his second visit,we experienced lots of revelations with ourselves, our likes and dislikes with each other...but definitely we had fun.I'm so glad we experienced it because through that our relationship became stronger.

Hopefully soon, if God permits and if the Canadian Embassy will allow me, I can visit him.

Its TV Time 2008!

As America Collapses US Government Secret Plans Revealed

2008-09-17T09:44:00.000+07:00

I just read this column in the Deprogram.net, its about The American economy and the Government. I dont know if how reliable this site or their sources are but I'm concerned because as you read this site, I guess its really happening because as what we heard in the news now about what happened in one of the biggest holdings in America the Lehman Brothers Inc. filed for bankcruptcy just recently. The american econmy is really in chaos right now. And as we all know almost all countries in the world including my country Philippines look up in America specially their economy. So we are affected too. If their dollar collapse so as with the world.

As I read this site, its really scary.... So how true is this? is it true that there are secret elite group that are responsible behind all the secret plans for the world? And this elite group trying to form a new world order, meaning a one form of government for the world, thats why they are trying to shake the world now by holding back the funds for the world, thats why we are in crisis right now. and responsible for the micro chips that they gonna implant that to everyone for identification purposes and as you know other puproses too. I"ve heard and read a lot about the secret elite group that holds all the wealth in the world like the federal reserve. As you know this bank is not owned by the US or other country but this is an independent private company that are responsible for all the currency in the world. But they own almost all countries specially the US and in Europe. Have you heard about the AMERO? ah well if you have time reading this site you will know what I'm saying about, and I'm sure you heard about that already.

Well this is just my own point of view, Try to read this whether if its true or not. Well at least we are informed about what will gonna happen or something......

Cebu

2008-09-08T05:22:00.019+07:00

Last Weekend my sister and I flew to Cebu City, Visayas, Philippines, for her CFO Seminar. Actually I've been in Cebu before but I never really had the chance to explore the City. And my last visit there, I got to tour around a little in Cebu together with my sister and our new friend Jing, we met in CFO seminar. We had the opportunity to visit their church Sto. Rosario and the historical Magellan's Cross.
I was so amazed with their church because its so nice even though its so old already...
specially inside the church, the altar is big and large, as in the the front wall is displayed with lots of big statues of patron saints . I really like it. But you know its so funny (well for me of course hehe...) because I noticed that people there, everytime they pass in front of the church, they wave their hands as they look at the altar inside. As if whether they were waving goodbye or something hehe... Well it shows that they are very religious people. No doubt about that.

And we visited their malls as usual hehe.... Cebu is a nice and very progressive city, lots of business establishments and malls than here in my town Davao City. But scary to go out specially at night because as the people there always tells us that its not safe to stroll around in their city because lots of smugglers and snatchers roaming around. Such a beautiful city but ruined by these people. and its more expensive than Davao City. But i like their taxi drivers, their services are very nice, they dont take advantage to tourist's people. I'm so glad I got to see Cebu. Hopefully someday I can visit cebu again.

Time for a change

2008-08-23T14:28:00.001+07:00

My twin sister Dina and I always together since we were kids until now, we share almost a lot and everything and always going out together shopping or mall hopping, experimenting new things etc.... In short we are not just sisters but bestfriends... well of course we don't share all specially our love life's hehehe... Last 2004 She's married to a Canadian guy my brat bro-in law ... But even that we are still together, but last friday, they finally got the documents that they have been waiting for the last 3 years, the visa from the Canadian Embassy.... she's granted to go to Canada, and anytime soon she will leave us huhuhu, and have a new life there together with her hubby. At last the moment that they've been praying and waiting for is finally come true. Now I realized that we will never be the same as before, she will start her new life there and mine as well.... although I still have the chance to be together hopefully soon in Canada because my Tiger and her hubby are best of friends and they are just neighbors but its not the same as like before, like we share bed when we sleep or eat together, even taking a bath together hehe....And even taking control of my life sometimes hehe... Well I admit between the two of us she's more of the ate to me hehehehehe........ in short she's the bossy and matured type than I am. I will surely miss my sister but well... life must go on... It's time for me to change, to be mature. But I'm so glad that she's happy now, finally she will be with her husband soon.

A music to my eyes and fire to my soul

2008-08-07T16:58:00.001+07:00

My tiger just gave me a nice poems that he really wrote it for me, he told me that he really meant what he said in his poems.... how sweet..... i feel like i'm melting hehe..... I just want to share it with you so here are the poems from my baby.....

If I could have just one wish,

I would wish to wake up everyday

to the sound of your breath on my neck,

the warmth of your lips on my cheek,

the touch of your fingers on my skin,

and the feel of your heart beating with mine...

Knowing that I could never find that feeling

with anyone other than you.

When I close my eyes I dream of you.

Can't sleep at night 'cause I wanna be with you.

Don't want to live, don't want to cry

Without you by my side.

When I go to sleep at night

I ask God to make my days bright.

I know he will do it - I know it is true.

Because he knows I only want to be with you.

I hear your voice inside my head.

I can imagine us together again.

I know it will happen - I know it is true;

Because I asked God if I can be with you.

I see you and I together again;

Holding hands and feeling the pain.

What a beautiful feeling - I wish it were true.

But I am only dreaming - dreaming of you.

If you could see inside my soul

see inside my heart

you would know how I long for you

whenever we're apart

Though with each new day, each sunrise

we can't know what's in store

there is one thing I know for sure

each day I love you more

I could search the whole world over

and this I know is true

I would never find another love

like the love I found with you

You are my heart, my soul, my treasure,

My today, my tomorrow, my forever,

My everything!

Shocking Gasoline price!

2008-07-30T20:42:00.000+07:00

Have you noticed how high the gasoline prices now? I cant believe it reaches to P61+ pesos now. This afternoon I was shocked when my sister and I refilled my motorbike in the gasoline station for 100.00 pesos, usually a hundred pesos before for special gasoline is a full tank already but now.. that money is equivalent to 1.8 liters only. So shocking....Here in the Philippines when gasoline gets high everything is high too. Basic commodities here like foods are so high. So I'll expect again that the price specially rice will be getting higher for the next few days. I imagine those people that barely afford for 1 meal a day, can they still survive with the crisis now? Well.. God only knows.... I do hope that one day, everything will be back to normal again just like before.

Friendship…What does it mean?

2008-07-23T11:04:00.000+07:00

I once read a winning definition of friendship, it says:

"A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out."

Friendship for me is the inexpressible feeling of comfort to the person who are there to laughed and cries with you, no matter what. For me, a friend is the person that will tells me whenever I do wrong and lead me and be with me whenever I am down….in return, I will be a good friend that will fight for her/him till the end. Me, I don’t mind if she’s good or not, as long as I am your friend, I will fight for you, I am a type of person that you can trust and share secrets with…as much as possible I will be your mirror, I will tell you if you are wrong and compliment you if you did something good…..hmmm sounds perfect huh?

Life is full of surprises, just in an instant, for some reason, my friendship has been tested to the person I used to know as my “best friend”. For me, there are certain rules in life, honesty, respect and most of all don’t judge others…if one is lost, then everything will be damaged….doubts, angers will arise…..

I don’t wanna fight back because I don’t want to pressure and add more wound in our friendship…they said silence and time will heal everything…within me, I still wanted to patch up things, our friendship been through trials and survived before…..i don’t know now……it so happened that our partners in life (her bf and my bf and my sister’s husband) had misunderstandings with each other, its supposed to be not our fights…..ah well, its her right to believe whatever she thinks is right…..if she thinks judging others is good, then count me out, I don’t like that…..talking just for once is not enough to know a person well, and then judging them (my bf and my sister’s hubby) based on a joke conversation? hmmmm…wow! Amazing!....its just so unfair…really unfair! for just a lame misunderstandings, our friendship is lost, might be or might not be fix again....

To think that she and my bf and my sister’s husband been friends for 3 years, still she never known them yet…..they have treated her as a good friend and treated her as extended family….hmmmm…what a shame!

I just hope you know how to lower your pride once in awhile……Me? Oh I did, I always did since before……..i hope you and your chosen partner will be happy.

Me and my big Tiger

2008-07-19T14:37:00.000+07:00

Talking about my favorite topic, hmmm I guess one whole page is not enough…I can talk all day long hehehhe…as you know, when you are in love, you love to talk about him or her….i guess you wont be out of words describing how to terrific he is……so I guess I will have to forget the appearance as it will take whole day describing him, but one thing I can say….he is gorgeous hehehe…

Hmmmm..where did we start? It started when my twin sis married a Canadian, he and my brother-in-law are best of friends, my brother-in-law always told me during the first year of marriage with my twin sister that he wished I can find a good guy as I am a good person, and that if he can only wish, me and his best friend would end up together as he is a good guy..at that time, dario (my big tiger) was about to get away with a complicated life from his past relationship and me on the other hand, still involve with a complicated guy…., Dario and my twin sis chat once in awhile before as they are friends too of course, me and him just say hello once in awhile too, never serious or never think we will be boyfriend and girlfriend….2 years past, Dario was just got out from his relationship and for me, about to start a new life and trying to forget the bad relationship that I had…..Terry my brother-in-law, when he knew that we were free at that time, he then act as our cupid pulling his arrows in each other’s heart….hmmmm…in other words, bro set us up. He knows that Dario and I love to play game, so what he did? He lead me and Dario to play a domino game on the internet… smart huh? Hehe….and so for quite awhile we’ve been a constant opponent of a certain game as we love to beat each other hehehe….

From that on, we became chat mate and really good friends. So he decided to come here with bro last April 2007. I still remember the first time I saw him at the airport he was so gwapo even if he looks exhausted and weak from the 13 hours travel. It was so unlucky he has colds that time when he came here. He stayed here for 3 weeks. We get along so fast on the first day we talked, we just cant get away with each other, I remember that time that we love to talk each other all night long hehe… and so we knew from that moment that we like each other. Last April 14 was our first anniversary. So far we are going stronger and love each other more deeply.

Long distance relationship is not easy, but if you two have faith, love and respect each other, everything will be going smoothly. For me and my tiger, our love with each other became stronger because of the foundations that we have and constant communications with each other. I wanna thank my bro in law and my sis for leading me to the real man who loves me for who and what I am. To my tiger (Dario)) I want to thank you for loving me and accepting me for who I am. I will always support and trust you. And I will love you with all my heart. I hope we will last for a long time.

Why I became a tiger…

2008-07-17T18:41:00.000+07:00

My boyfriend and I call each other tigers, but why we came up with that? Hmm….. it started when my boyfriend and I were chatting on the net that time and we were browsing about the zodiac signs and if we are compatible with each other etc.., he found out that we have the same signs in Chinese zodiac signs which is tiger. And so because of that, I call him big tiger or baby tiger and he calls me little tiger or baby tiger too. Isn’t it sweet?.. he actually found our compatibility signs and not me when I supposed to find that because I’m a woman hehe… and you know what we took lots of compatibility test on the net and so far we are compatible… but not just because of what the horoscope said or if we have the same signs or something, but we are compatible in lots of things...and most of all we love and respect each other. He is my best friend. Love you Tiger!!!

My Twin Sis

2008-07-15T20:22:00.000+07:00

Her name is Dina, she’s my identical twin. She’s married to a Canuck from Vancouver, Canada. I do believe that identical twins are the closest friends more than anyone else….we talked anything and everything, shared secrets too with each other…..though sometimes we fight, but its normal to brothers and sisters. They said twins should be apart as its dangerous when one is sick and so the other one will be next….hmmmm…no no! though in cases sometimes, but not all sickness…but for communicable diseases, of course when one got it the other will be next as the twins always together…… others think that we have the same likes or dislikes……NOT True! Dina has different taste than mine….and for guys too, we are soooo different, her likes for a guy, is not my type…..we are totally different, for me, we are just normal sisters, same feeling with my other sister but the thing is, we are closer than anyone in our family, we are bestfriends actually. I remember when we are still in our elementary, our parents always dressed us same kind of clothes and color, yikes! They didn’t know we despised it, we don’t like it as other people especially other students will stare at us…grrrrrrrr….i remember the first day of school when were still in first year high school, it was the first day of school where every students from first year to to 4th year students gathered outside to formally welcome the school year, once again mama dressed us same kind and same color and take note, it was a red doted dress, same shoes and same style of hair….one teacher caught her attention, and called us to the stage, and let us introduced ourselves infront of almost a thousand students and faculties who attended that day…..it was sooooo embarrassing……and so that day, we swore not to wear same kind of dress ever again…..until now, we never really had same kind of dress or same color anymore, if ever accidentally bought same thing, we promised not to wear or used it same time or same day.

My Baby girl!

2008-07-14T15:09:00.000+07:00

My new baby girl, her name is raven….she’s so tiny, cute and cuddly..her hair is black and shiny…..we adopted her when she was 1 month old and now she just turned a month older last april 11…..with her, being a part of my life now, It changed me, totally in terms of being a responsible mommy, or I can say a responsible owner…..for just a month, wow! my life changed so fast, in an instant I can say hehehe… being her mommy, I know how responsibility is….how to discipline and to control my feelings whenever I tried to give her a lesson…..when you love someone so dearly, you don’t mind all the sleepless nights as she wants you to hug her all the time, you don’t mind wiping the floors because she’s urinating everywhere and especially cleaning all the poops when you wake up in the morning that is almost all the corners of the house…you don’t mind the smell of the house anymore hehehe…...and not just that, should be financially ready for her vaccines and vitamins and for her yummy dog food hmmmm……oh, not just that, the hard work of toilet training too….and I’m proud to say, she’s learning now…..but through it all, I love her more deeply and I’m proud to say that I will be a responsible pet owner, I will be a good mommy to raven……I just love her so much! For you raven, cheers!! A new journey of our life together!

Beach Resort getaways….

2008-07-10T21:20:00.000+07:00

Summer is here, it’s the perfect time to have some fun under the sun! Feel the breeze of the ocean and enjoying the clear water under the sun or maybe under the moonlight…..hmmmm…sounds so perfect for me……

Me and my family loves the ocean, every time our family are together, we just go out bring some lunched packed and wander through the nicest and cleanest beach in town….

Just a year ago, my sister and my brother-in-law bought a 2 hectare beach property in Sta. Maria, according to the people there, we owned a perfect area to go swimming because when its low tide, you can still go swimming, the water is never really low and no sea urchins or corals that will hurt your feet…..oh but it doesn’t mean no corals there, in fact Sta. Maria beach is known to have abundant corals and different kinds of fish…..

Never imagine in my entire life we have our own beach resort now, my sister and my brother-in-law built a nice rest house there, it’s a gift for the family especially to mama and papa…. The place is under renovation now, mama and papa put up cottages and conference room, soon it will be open to the public and the name of the resort will be Green valley Resort….

To my brother-in-law, Terry, Thank you so much! You are a blessing to us!

My lovely Raven

2008-07-06T15:28:00.006+07:00

This is my pretty little Raven, the only baby in the family hehe... she turns 5 months today. sometimes we call her "dugyot"(filthy) Raven hehe...As you can see in the picture as if she never taken a bath but she took a bath in that picture already hehe...Now I have to take more time to groom her because her hair is very thick already and its hard to groom her because she is very very active now,But she is super duper sweet, every morning she is our alarm clock, she climbs in our bed and lick you and or sometimes pull your hair until you're awake hehe.... though its really annoying but its cute and so sweet of her. Especially when she plays with you, all your worries and problems will be erased. She's really cute now and so adorable. Though I still had a hard time with her toilet trainings and learning how to behave, and barking so loud inside the house but its fun when she's around. Im glad she 's learning and more matured now.

I love this dog so much that i think she is my real baby hehe..Everybody loves her. I cannot imagine if she's gone and or something happen to her, it will really break my heart.

Woman dies in hospital waiting room

2008-07-03T13:09:00.000+07:00

Look at this VIDEO its a recent shocking news. A woman died after 45 mins. of waiting at the waiting area in one of the hospitals in New York. As a result 6 staffs have been fired from that hospital. Oh good for them! I hope somebody will go to jail, or maybe all of them should go to jail.The world today is getting scary nowadays, you cannot trust and rely everybody anymore. I guess the only thing that we can do now is pray to the Almighty for His guidance.

My recent Travel

2008-04-19T15:23:00.001+07:00

Hi guys!
Vacation is here once again, time to relax and explore different places, getaway from the hustle and bustle of life once in awhile ….I’ve been in manila and
Vigan for almost 2 weeks, thanks to my brother-in-law. He was the one supported me going to Vigan. Actually, it was me and my twin sis went there, we attended
Felicel’s graduation. FYI, Felicel is our younger sister, she graduated Elementary Education at DEAF School in Paowin, Cavinte Laguna last April 2….She’s a deaf and mute actually, but when you look at her, she’s normal… she’s pretty, tall and petite, others said that she’s like a model, hmmmm prettier and way taller than me I admit hehehe….

Back to my getaways story, my twin sis just received a text message from papa while we are in laguna, he told her that their application (her and her husband Terry) for spousal visa in Canada has been received and that the embassy needs her passport as soon as possible, hmmm I guess that means their application will be granted soon, hmmmmm…..i’m happy for them….and so, when my brother-in-law knew about the news, he sent financial support right away going to Vigan, Yey!!!! Thanks bro.! never been in Vigan actually, he really wanted me to go there as he told my sis that I wont be able to go there sooner, well, maybe in future…..he want us to spend time with each other before she go to Canada, I know she wont be able to visit us here for 2 to 3 years…..

It took 10 hours going to vigan, but when I got there, its worth it, though the weather is super hot, oh I forgot, its still part of the Philippines, so what should I expect hehehe….Vigan is one of the world heritage as mostly the old buildings built by the Spaniards way back in 18th century was preserved there...you can see old churches and old buildings and museums where memorabilia’s was preserved during the Spanish era here in the Philippines. There’s still a kalesa as one of the transportation service there, you can hire it for 150 an hour to tour the entire historical places in town. 4 to 5 hours is enough to visit all the places. But for us, we manage to deal with the kartero (the kalesa driver…hmmmm, I hope I’m right) we only paid 4 hundred for almost 5 hours. Thanks Manong! This city is the baluarte of Chavit Singson too (a controversial politician), his place is the sanctuary of rare animals that mostly imported from abroad, I saw tigers and a lion, I saw big snakes and a dwarf horses! Its as size of a deer actually, imagine that! Oh and a sanctuary of butterflies too and many other animals such as ostrich, eagles, monkey, iguanas, and many more….oh and his big mansion built uphill at the center of the sanctuary.….its worth traveling for long hours, it’s a rare place where you can see and still feel the relics of the past. You wont see it usually in other places, only in vigan….i suggest, if you want to go to vigan or baguio, take the night trip, you wont be able to feel dizzy due to a hundred stops just to pick up passengers along the way and the worst traffic, no pollution and the best part, when you wake up in the morning, Wah la! You are there already. Well, that if you want to travel by bus. Partas bus located in pasay and cubao which are open 24 hours from manila to vigan but going back or from vigan, its just until 11 pm. When you are there, lots of nice and neat hotels, some expensive but there are affordable too, clean and neat..but if you want to stay in a century old house at the same time a museum, stay at Villa Angela, almost all the things there are the living proof of Spanish era muebles.

Hmmmm….i guess I said it all…..God bless! Hope you can visit Vigan too!

my pet dog named Lucky

2008-03-28T20:06:00.001+07:00

This is my pet, his name is lucky, he is an amazing dog. A mixed high breed and native dog. He is just 3 months old. Actually, we have five dogs all in all but he is an extra ordinary dog as he’s such a sweet sweet dog. He loves to cuddle and being touched by us….but I guess, he is not meant for us, he got sick for a month, and got worst a week ago, so we brought him to the vet. clinic, the doctor found out that he has ascitis, his liver was not functioning normally and his kidney shut down, the vet doc was really puzzled as she never encountered a case like Lucky. Even though Lucky was so tired as he has troubled breathing already, but he never complains even with lots of injections that he got, I think the vet doc gave him 11 meds all in all and we took him to the big hospital for humans just to have an x-ray of his tummy but still no complains, he knew that its all good for him….we did our best, but just the other night, he passed away……my heart was crushed, I really don’t know what to react as I loved him so much….i know I’m being unfair with my other dogs but I guess it’s a natural reaction when you love and cared someone so much, my feelings was so attached with Lucky….before he died, i cared and let him slept in my arm as he cant lay and sleep as its hard for him, he slept for 30 mins. I bet, when I saw him that night before he died, I knew he wont be able to survive for a day anymore, so I told mama and dina that we should give up on him, and so we talked to Lucky that its time for him to rest, we prayed and we bid goodbye, and so that night, he laid down and went to sleep, the doctor just called me the next morning and told us that Lucky is finally resting, peacefully…..now, I really really missed him, I missed his cute face, his sweetness…but in a way, I’m happy too as I know he is not in pain anymore…..i do believe he is an angel now, watching over us….Lucky I love you!

Trying something new

Here I am trying to do something new like writing and posting…but hmm… what will I write then? Hmm…think, think… but before that, I wanna thank my dear cousin Gina who introduced me to the PayPerPost. I got interested with this because not only I can write anything but I can earn out of it too, wow.. this is nice!!. When I heard about this before I didn’t believe it that we can actually earn by writing. Well yes, maybe to those people who are into writing a book and novels etc.. but to a person like me who’s interests are in the kitchen and computers, I can bake, cook and even fix anything that can be fixed around the house even computers I try to fix it hehe…. But writing is not included in my list hehe… But I’m so curious and challenged to do this so here I am…. and im sure tis will be interesting...
