Skunk

My friends Wildcatlady and Mica tag me this. Thanks girls for tagging me this and sorry posting this late. Here's mine and almost all of it were true.:)

If you are a Skunk: You are near to perfect and nice at heart! . The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give, and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

Don't forget to scroll down to see what it says about you.

If you are an Ass: A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble, and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little gr! oup of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

If you are a Slug: Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what mak e s you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek your company and look forward to include you for all get-together's. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Cockroach: Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfull! y deriv e work from people. You love being loved and when you receive your share of limelight from s omeone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well... Hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.....

If you are a Parasite: An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a Skunk: You are near to perfect and nice at heart! . The e xamples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give, and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Bullfrog: You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of fri ends! and go od at consoling pe ople in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....

If you are a Snake: You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the w! ay you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are an Ape: Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!!

I took a nap while driving

I went to the Asian Market today and went to the Dentist for my implant's check up. But before I went outside I already had a headache. I finished early in grocery shopping at the Asian Market so I went home and put the stuff I bought in the fridge and some in the kitchen. After arranging the stuff I bought, I still have 35 minutes left before my dental appointment so I read the new magazine that I bought to make use of my time. I was sleepy after reading a few pages on the magazine but had to go 15 minutes before my dental appointment coz I don't want to be late this time. Hubby asked me earlier if I need him in going to the Dentist but I said that I can go there by myself because I was thinking that he's been using his vacation and sick leave every time I have my dental appointment. Besides, today's visit is just to check if the healing process of the implant is doing good or not so nothing really important to discuss that needs hubby's opinion or presence. After a few minutes of driving, my headache becomes worst and I suddenly become more sleepy that I want to close my eyes so hard every now and then to sort of wake me up but something happened unexpectedly. While I was closing my eyes, I took a nap just maybe for a few seconds or I don't know if it's a minute or so but when I open my eyes, I was scared knowing that I was driving in the freeway. Good thing that there's no car in front of me or I might have hit somebody. I hit my little toy mickey mouse (the one I got when hubby and I had our vacation to Florida last year) that I hang in my rear view mirror and said "Mickey, I'm sleepy. Help me not to fall asleep." Call me crazy but I talk to my toy Mickey sometimes if I need to. It really scares me thinking that I took a nap as if I was taking a nap at the couch but I was actually driving... in a freeway. Oh boy, now I have to sleep early. I don't want it to happen again... ever. So I can't blog hop for now but tomorrow I will... hopefully.

Fantastic Blogger Award!

Wow! What a good compliment to be one of the fantastic blogger! :) I want to thank Mica and D' Cooking Mudra for this award that they gave me. I really like it! Now I am feeling as if I won something. haha


I want to pass this award to my friends Juliana, Chalyza, Butchay and DanaDebbie.

Get Paid To Blog

Blog for money is a good alternative for those who love to blog and at the same time doing for the things you love. Working at home is a good opportunity for anybody especially to stay at home moms who are looking for a source of income to help their partner financially or just wanting to earn something while staying at home and taking care of the family. Blogging is one of those online money making system that most bloggers if not all wants to get paid to blog. And who doesn’t, right? I want to try this blog advertising, now that my blog has reached 3 months which is one of the requirements for a paid blogging. I never thought I can do this at first, but I was inspired by other Pinays to make my own blog and hoping to get paid for blogging someday like them. What a great opportunity for me and anybody to advertise on blogs and get paid for that. Are you one of us? Maybe this is the answer to your prayers...

My Fortune Cookie Story

Last Sunday, I had a fortune cookie from my Chinese take out. For me, it wasn’t really a fortune but I noticed that the message I got from my fortune cookie is happening. Here is the picture of what I got in my fortune cookie last Sunday.


Yesterday which is Monday, was another ordinary day for me. I went to work in the morning and do what I normally do. A co-worker suddenly came to me and said “Michelle, everybody asked about your age… How old are you?” I answered “I’m 31 and soon to be 32 this coming October”. Then she asked again “What’s your secret?” I was stunned and don’t know what to say. Then I said “Nothing”. Honestly, I never expected it to happen. I mean, I am not a beauty queen or a model that a white pretty lady would be interested to ask about a beauty secret. I became quiet for a second then I said “Well, one thing is… I don’t wear make up.” Then she told me an incident where I think as what I understand it (hehe) that she has a picture recently with somebody and her mom saw it and said “You look 40 in this picture”. I can see in her eyes that she felt bad of how she looks but for me she’s pretty and skinny like me. She left and continues of what she was doing. I then think of what else I do in my face so I can share it to her and something popped in my mind… a moisturizer! I don’t think it’s a secret coz I thought everybody knows that we have to moisturize our face. I told her to moisturize her face and that many women said to always moisturize, moisturize and moisturize your face and that’s their secret that they look younger than their age. She answered “I am trying to do that”. I guess she has a lot of problems at home coz she has 3 kids and I heard that she has a new bf which my little brain thinks that maybe she’s not living with the father of her kids anymore or I don’t know. That didn’t remind me about the message of my fortune cookie until somebody asked me again today.

This afternoon, a black young guy who is my co-worker asked me “How long you’ve been married?” (rolling my eyes trying to remember the exact months and year) and said “Hmm 1 yr and a half”. Then I asked “Why?”. He said that he was thinking of getting married but he’s not sure. So I said “If you’re not sure yet or if you’re having doubts or cold feet then don’t force yourself to get married” He keeps on saying “yeah, yeah.” He asked me again and said “If you want to have a baby, will you get married?” I said “No. If you want to have a baby, don’t get married just because you want to have a baby.” We talked about that there are lots of couples who were divorced because they didn’t understand each other and that’s not good for the kids. I said that he has to find a woman who won’t divorce him for better or for worst coz there are women who’ll divorce a guy if there are lots of problems already. So he has to make sure that the woman that he's going to marry is the one who would spend the rest of her life with him. But one thing to know about the person is to ask questions and more personal questions then put her into a test. Ask the same question again after maybe a couple of months or a year and study the answer if it's the same answer she gave the first time he asked her. If her answer changes, then she's a liar. Trust is very important in a relationship. Better and worst, happy and sad, arguments and understanding are parts of the marriage. I said that it’s hard to get out once you’re married. He was sort of surprise of what I said so I told him that I have friends in the Philippines who regret that they got married. And those friends told me not to get married because being single is much better than being married. And after hearing those words of regrets from my friends and complains that getting married is just a headache to them, I told myself that if I can’t find a person who can’t and won’t understand me about my wants and needs then I better be single for the rest of my life. I just don’t want to have a headache and I hate arguments. But that’s not my destiny. I told him to think about it a million times, he's only 18... Too young to get married.

I remember the message of my fortune cookie and when I arrive home, I looked for it and took a picture so I can share this story. I normally keep the messages I got from my fortune cookies and hubby’s fortune cookies, especially if it’s a good one. :)

Do you have a fortune cookie story? :)

Foods for my little tummy... :)

I was craving for Filipino foods lately and the taste closest to it is the Chinese foods. Yesterday I planned already not to go to Church early coz I want to go to the Chinese Buffet close to another Church that has a 5:30 pm mass. I planned to have a take out only coz I already cooked a steak for hubby. Besides, having a take out is more practical for me coz I only eat a little. Though I didn’t know if that Chinese Buffet has a take out, we still went there to check and if they don’t accept take out, then my second option is going to Little Caesar’s and have a pizza. After the mass, hubby and I headed to the Chinese Buffet. I was sooooo happy to see the Styrofoam/box at the counter. Hehe I grab one right away and chose the foods I want to eat.
And here’s what I got last night… Seafoods and fried rice! Haha
I wasn’t able to finish everything so I reserved the rest for today’s dinner.

Now, the box is empty. hehe

Most Sociable Blogger Week 2 Award

I won! No, that's not right. WE won! Woohoo!

Last week I was nominated by Bregie for the Most Sociable Blogger Week 2 at Jessie's site... I’ve been blog hopping for those who are in my list from day 1 then Bregie and Ellaine were also campaigning for me which I am grateful having friends like them. I want to thank these two lovely ladies who were there for me all the time.

There were days where I don’t have enough time to blog hop which I felt guilty if I couldn’t do it coz I am the one asking a favor to those who visit and voted me so I have to thank each of them by visiting their blog, leaving a message or comment on their posts and at the same time asking for their votes again for the next day. At first I thought I can’t make it coz I have to blog hop to ask for votes if I want to win and at the same time, visit the blogs to those who leave a message in my cbox except for those names that are not clickable then I can’t leave a message for them. It’s just too much for me to do all that coz I have to go to work also and there are things that I need to do. But as the time goes by, I see the contest as a challenge. The friends who left me a message that they voted on me, cheer on me, happy when they saw that I am leading, those who promised me not to worry coz they will vote for me everyday… are the ones who keep me going. I don’t want to fail those cheerers, supporters, loyalist or whatever name you call them. They made me win. So the right word is not I WON, it is WE WON!

Honestly, I am not really a sociable person. I agree with one blogger named joevic who left a message on my cbox and said “thoughtful blog huh”. I consider myself as thoughtful but not sociable. But those who believe in me made me a sociable blogger. :)

I learn something from this contest even if it was just a week. There are some who never fails to vote, some ask sorry coz they forgot to vote then they vote again, some said they will vote but didn’t vote again, and so on. Now I know which one that I can count on when I ask a favor. I bit you want to know who they are so when it’s your turn, you can ask them to vote for you. Hehe Don't worry, you'll know who they are... just continue reading for now. :)

I have the names of those who voted me and their links too. I will never forget this experience especially the cheers "woohoo", "go go go" and the message "Vote you again!" I know who these people are. :) I want to thank them for all the support that they gave me since day 1 up to the last day of the contest. There are some who are still voting for me even if it’s already finish and I am very happy to have such a wonderful circle of friends like that. I can’t thank them enough but I want to start by saying “Thank You So Much”. We made it! Woohoo!


Here are the names and links of the bloggers who made me the Most Sociable Blogger Week 2.


Lourdz II, jenlex, fyrnz, jana, Scotty's Princess, Satheesh, twerlyn, Pinaymama, Tintin, mica, butchay, krisha, belle, Lara, zhoe Wynz ♫, Norm, PreciousMarie, wildcatlady, Juliana, Utah Mommy, ruby, Pinay Mommy, rose, princess-2, chalyza, Anino, Jk, lynn, Ritchiela, pinaysmile, dezz, vanezah, Shabem, catsy, sweetiepie, kerslyn, Sheng, sobinath, Lendl, BD, ginabeloved, princess, ivy, Charisse, Gamay, janet, simplymama, vasanth, pastel, bry, rey, and those who voted me secretly... thank you very much.

I got these links thru my cbox and deleted the messages to make this post a little bit shorter so there's a possibility that some links were accidentally deleted by me while I was deleting the messages. I am only human and made mistakes so if your link is not here, I'm sorry.

To Jessie, thank you for creating this kind of contest. More power!

To joevic, I’m sorry I can’t add you in my link coz your name is not clickable. Wish you can drop by here again and read this. hehe

I was not feeling well, I over slept and I was late for work…

Last night I tried my best to sleep early after reading Juliana’s post about sleeping. I went to bed at 11:00 PM but I was waiting for hubby coz I can’t want to sleep with the lights on. So while waiting for hubby, I picked up the O magazine and read some of the articles in there. I finally went to sleep at maybe 12:30 AM. But I suddenly woke up at around 2:00 AM; I can’t understand what I feel coz I wanted to sleep again but my mind was occupied of what happened recently at work, whether I said something wrong or the right words. I am sometimes like that coz there are times where I say the wrong words and after thinking about what I said, I realized that I said the wrong words that might hurt others feelings. Then I felt that the room was hot so at 3:00 AM I told hubby about the temperature of the room and he lower it down for me. But he was wondering coz 75 deg is still cold for me but not this dawn, even if he lowered it into 70 deg I still feel hot. Hubby thought that maybe I’m sick so he told me to take my temperature to make sure. I didn’t have a fever but my body was so warm. I just keep on sighing and force myself to sleep again but still I can’t. I was hungry after 2 hrs of thinking and so I get up and took a snack. I then heard my phone beeps so I checked. It was a text message from Philippines, a relative of mine who asked me of when I come back to the Philippines coz they miss me and the last words were asking for a Christmas present which she said "just a cheap cell phone". She also said that I don’t need to send the cell phone right away, maybe after a couple of years when it’s ready. I never asked anybody to send me something not unless they are very close to me or if a person close to me will ask me if they want to give me a present. And if I do ask, I also want to pay for it, not for free. So receiving a text message asking for something gets on my nerves. I don’t want to barter love with money. As what I understand it, when somebody said "I love you and I miss you" and ask something that involves money, the love and miss is not true. The true "I love you and I miss you" doesn't ask anything from you but hoping and wishing that you are okay knowing that you are very far from your family. Living here in USA means spending also in dollars and not in pesos. Money don't grow in trees here or can be found on the road. You have to work hard first before you get it. That’s why I prefer not to communicate with them coz I can only hear two things whenever I call, they always have no money and they always have a problem which after talking to them, I can’t sleep thinking about what they tell me and hubby also can’t sleep trying to comfort me. Anyways, after reading the text message and eating my snack I then went to bed. I told hubby about it and we talked a little bit then after I finish venting I sleep at maybe 5:30 AM. I woke up at 8:49 AM and my work is 9:00 AM. Waaaaaa I was dreaming that I was already in the Philippines. I don’t know what to do knowing that I have to drive 15 mins to work and I need to take a shower and everything. So hubby suggests calling work that I’ll be late for an hour. I did call work as soon as I get up and tried to go work ASAP. No questions asked why I was late when I arrived then I start to work right away. Haha This afternoon, after work I checked my YM and received an offline messages from my sister telling me of another problem from our business in Cebu. Oh boy, I think that’s the reason why I wasn’t able to go back to sleep right away coz somebody is thinking about me and most of the times, if I feel what I feel last night, it’s always a bad news even with the thousand miles apart, I can feel it. (Sigh)

Anti-biotic Pill Stuck in My Throat

Hubby went to bed at 1:30 AM, then I followed hubby to bed to go to sleep but remembered that I have to take my anti-biotic pill for my tooth implant. After I took the pill which already cut in half, I went to bed again. Later, I noticed that the pill stuck in my throat. It happened to me once this week also that’s why hubby cut all my anti-biotic pills in half. When I told hubby that the pill stuck in my throat again, he was worried. I get up and ate pork rinds thinking that it will help push the pill in my throat then I drink water after. I went to bed again but still I can feel that the pill is still stuck in my throat. I get up again and went to the kitchen to eat orange hoping that it will help. While I was eating the orange, hubby followed me to the kitchen… worried about me. Hehe He then told me that maybe next time I’ll just chew the pill or maybe cut it into smaller pieces so it won’t be stuck in my throat anymore. I don’t really like the taste of the pill and so I reacted that I don’t like the taste. Hubby suggested that maybe I can hide the pill in a food so I can taste the food and not much with the pill. I did not finish the orange coz I thought that the pill was not stuck in my throat anymore so I went to bed. But then again I can feel that the pill only moves a little bit but still stuck in my throat. Oh boy, I don’t know what to do anymore. When I lie down, the food I ate wants to come out in my mouth. So hubby said that maybe I just have to sit or stand up for a while. I sit down for a few seconds then decided to just go back to the computer and finish the orange while waiting for the pill to slowly go down into my tummy. I copied different kinds of recipes already from the internet but still the pill won’t move downward. It’s almost 3:30 AM and here I am, still in front of the computer waiting for the pill to go down into my tummy but it didn’t work. Plus I think I drink too much water that I can feel the food in my tummy will still come out if I lie down. Huhuhu Maybe I’m sick or I got an acid reflux. This is making me nuts. My eyes are tired and wanted to take a rest but half of my body won’t cooperate. I better force myself to sleep; this is giving me a headache already.

Trying to sleep early...

I said in my post yesterday that I’ll try to sleep early, but that didn’t happen as planned. Hubby and I arrived home from Walmart at midnight already then we carry the stuff we bought which took some time also and arranging where the stuff went and need to be kept. I think I went to bed at 1:00 AM again same time the other night but hubby and I started talking about anything that I can think of (hehe) and before we know it, it’s already 2:00 AM. Hmm I know that I’m going to work sleepy and will be yawning which what really happened today at work but we can’t stop thinking and answering about the topics that I started til I really felt sleepy an in need to shut my eyes off. Haha Tonight hubby went to bed early but I suddenly called him coz my laptop had an error. Huhu Poor hubby, he’s stuck with the laptop trying to figure out what happened, researching the internet but he wasn’t able to find the answer that he was looking for. Now it’s late again. I wish I can break this habit soon. Maybe after the contest coz I need to thank and visit the bloggers who voted and visited me here. See you again tomorrow and don’t forget to leave a message so I can visit your blog too. Thanks!

So busy...

I was a little bit busy after accepting the nomination for the most sociable blogger coz I have to campaign (syempre) for this knowing that this is a contest. I know that those who supported me especially the one who nominated me were also busy campaigning for me too and I really appreciate and thank Bregie and Ellaine for that. There are more blogger friends that I know who voted and supported me and I wanna thank them too. I’ll mention the names later when I have enough time to sort it out. But even with that, I have to work on this too and not just depend on them. I did my campaign last night and some today but starting tonight, I might not be able to do some campaign or worst the blog hop coz hubby and I are also planning on arranging stuff in the house before Easter. I started cleaning and throwing stuff in the garbage (for those that I don’t need or use anymore) when I came home from work. I do check my blog and do a little blog hopping while cooking. Last night I went to bed at 1:00 AM already but this time I wanna go to bed early so I won’t be sleepy at work tomorrow... I wish I can really do that. Hehe It’s now almost 10:00 PM but hubby and I are still planning to go to Walmart to put gas on my car and buy something that we will soon need. Hmm Don’t know what time we’ll be home so for those who visit here and voted, I wanna say "THANK YOU SO MUCH"! (wink) Just leave your message in my cbox so I can visit you as soon as I have the time to blog hop again. I am hoping that hubby and I will soon be finish with our plan for arranging stuff and working in the house so I can blog hop for more and give thanks to those who supported and visited me here. :)

Chicken Marsala and Vegetables for Hubby and Me

Hubby was still sick yesterday. He wasn’t hungry even if it was 3:00 PM already so I cooked something that he likes and healthy. The kitchen was a mess after I finish cooking but I got a good compliment from hubby that he had a great healthy dinner. Cleaning the mess after dinner was part of it. I’m just happy that he ate all that I put in his plate and he also finish some of my carrots, mushroom and chicken coz I’m full already. haha Besides, I’m not a vegetable and mushroom eater. I only force myself to eat vegetables that I’m not used to eat when hubby told me that I need to eat some coz if I don’t then I’ll get health problems when I’m old and won’t enjoy my days when I retire. Hmm But sometimes, I really won’t eat the vegetables especially the steamed one coz it taste bitter and tasteless. It’s easy for me to eat vegetables that has some flavor added to it like the MSG and other seasonings but hubby said MSG is not good, especially for the white man. Waaaaaaaaa

Hubby's plate loaded with vegetables and chicken marsala. :)


My plate without the steamed vegetables. hehe I ate the 3 green beans, 2 pcs of carrots, the four potatoes, half of the chicken and maybe 3 pcs of mushrooms and that's it. My tummy said "No more, please". hehe

Nominated for the Most Sociable Blogger

A wonderful blogger friend Bregie nominated me for the Most Sociable Blogger for this week at Jessie's site. I wasn’t expecting this to happen but I want to thank you Briggs for doing so. :) I don’t have the code here yet so just CLICK HERE to vote. Thank you so much in advance!


==========================================

A sincere apology to Mr. Jessie for this messed up post. I was surprised while reading some comments that the link is not right and the contest is not Bregie’s. I was shocked when I read this post again coz they are all right. Waaaaaaa I didn’t check the link and some words here were missing when I posted this last night. I think this is the result of opening lots of windows, watching TV while blogging and sleepy. It was an honest mistake. Sorry for that.

Are You Ready for Marriage?

I grab this from Pinaymama's blog. And same with Pinaymama, I am married but want to know of what will be my score of this test. I had fun answering the Q's and below is the result.




You Are 93% Ready for Marriage



This doesn't mean you should rush out and get married...

But if you did tie the knot, it would probably work out great!

My blog is a phishing site?

A fellow blogger emailed me about my blog as phishing site whenever she tried to visit. I have no idea what phishing site means and what it can do to my blog but I noticed yesterday that there’s not much messages in my cbox compared to the previous days but still my counter shows that I still have visitors coming in. Hmm Can somebody tell or teach me about this phishing site thing? You know that I am so dumb when it comes to this and I know for sure that there are bloggers out there who are smart when it comes to this blogging thingy. Thanks in advance. I will appreciare it if you'll leave a comment here that I can study and experiment later. :)

Hubby is sick

Hubby was sick yesterday morning. Good thing that yesterday was also my day off so I asked him if he wanted to eat chicken and rice soup which is in short the arroz caldo. Hehe Without any second thought he said “Yes, please.” We didn’t go out yesterday. I’m surfing the net and hubby sometimes went back to bed and if he gets up he plays with the desktop experimenting something that he can use at work someday. :)

I miss the fresh Fish in the Philippines

Yesterday I bought a fish that I thought hubby and I will like because it’s the most expensive fish in the grocery store where I went and the only one also that looks fresh. Growing up in the province, I can tell which fish is fresh or not. I just fry the fish with salt and pepper hoping that the result is great. Too bad, I didn’t like the taste. I am a fish eater but the one that I cook yesterday didn’t impress me at all. I mixed half of the fish into the vegetables so there’s some fish meat in the vegetables too. The smell is so strong that I hurriedly put an air freshener in the dining and bedroom so I can’t smell the fish anymore. But because I cooked a lot of the vegetables mix with fish yesterday, we had some left over for today. I planned to cook chicken marsala for dinner tonight but hubby prefers to finish the left over before it goes bad. When hubby heat the vegetables in the microwave, I smell the fish again. I almost throw up because of that but I didn’t tell hubby about it coz I’m sure that he’ll tease me knowing that I used to eat fish in the Philippines. Good thing that I still have a left over of my marinated milkfish. I just imagine that the fish I ate is fresh and taste the same like the one I had in the Philippines. Oh boy, I started to miss the fresh fish in the Philippines. I wanted to cook a fresh tulingan or galunggong season with salt then grill it. I’m sure the smell is sooo good and it’s very delicious. How I wish it’s in front of me now. Waaaaaaaaa

Something Red Tag

I got this tag from my friends Juliana, Utah Mommy and Bang. Thank you girls for tagging me this. It took me a while looking for a picture of me wearing red because it's not my favorite color. Honestly, I found one but I don't like to post it coz I have a lot of pimples in it. I found another one also where I was wearing a swim wear with orange and red in it but I decided not to post it either. The one that I decided to post is the picture below. :)

START COPY HERE

Here’s the rule:

Post YOUR photo wearing red, may it be a red top, bottom, the least would be red accessories if you hate wearing red… If you can’t find one, you still have an option…. Either post your Significant Other’s photo or your child’s photo, if you have one. Of course, they should be wearing red.

Let us know the reason why you were wearing red that particular day. Was it your birthday? Is red your fave color or was it the shirt that you first saw in your closet that day?

Tag 3 people close to your heart. By the way, they have to be in your blogroll. No cheating heart pleaseeeeeeee!

Digital World Tag

I got this tag from Wildcatlady. Thank you girl for passing this to me. I don't know if my blog deserves this but I'm still thankful to have this. :)


I am passing this tag to Bregie. I know that she's the one who really deserves this.

Friendship Tag

I want to thank Sheng for tagging me this. I actually posted something like this already but the picture is different so I decided to post this again with a new picture. hehe

Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; If he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. He, who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He, who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me…You brought another friend…And then there were 3…We started our group…Our circle of friends…And like that circle…There is no beginning or end…Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

So now, let’s see how many circles of friends we can make by simply adding your link on this Friendship Meme!1.Catsy Carpe Diem 2-Catsy Downloads 3-Out of the Blue 4-A Day to Savor and Relish 5-A Piece of Idea 6-Write Shy 7-Stupid Wise 8-http://onlinememorylane.blogspot.com/ 9-http://www.jk-nocargo.blogspot.com/ 10-Pinay Mommy Online 11-Momhood Moments 12-My Life 13-Jean’s My So-called Life 14-Alpha’s Blog 15-Because Life Is Fun 16-Bits and Pieces 17-Whats up Caryl 18-Simply Me 19-A Mothers Horizon 20-BLOGSILOG 21-Cherry’s Comfort Zone 22-DigiScrapz:Captured Memories 23-Wishing and Hoping 24-Thinking Out Loud 25-Lolli of so cute 26-Lollipop of Lux 27-Mommy’s Gibble Gabbles 28-Sweet Paradise 29-My Life My World 30-Hobbies and Such 31-A Window To Our World 32- Jenny’s Wandering Thoughts 34- Norm of the Creativity In Me 35-Sheng's Simple Thoughts 36- Michelle's Small World 37- You’re next here!

My 6 Quirky Things

I got this tag from Janethvicy. It's been a while when she tagged me this but didn't have the chance to post this because of awards and other tags that I received. Sorry for the late post girl. I want to thank Jazevox also for tagging me this. :)

The rules: Link to the person that tagged you. Post the rules on your blog.Share six un-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. Let these random people know that they are tagged by leaving comments in their blog.

Here are my 6 quirky things...

2. I am trying to be frugal to save for the future but once tempted to shop, I can spend like a one day millionaire too. hehe

3. I am not a good entertainer outside the house but at home I am a comedian, an actress, model, dancer, singer, chef, wife and a kid. Hahaha

4. Eating out at the restaurants that served huge servings always brought me some left over when I come home. And the left over that I brought home is good for 2 – 3 meals for me. I guess my stomach is getting smaller and smaller. hehe

5. When hubby is driving and I am the passenger, I had fun asking so many questions and making stories about birds, drivers, sorroundings and the people around which sometimes made hubby laugh. That's my way of entertaining him so he won't get bored while driving. :)

6. I always put petroleum jelly in my lips before going to bed coz if I don't, my lips becomes dry the next day and it's painful.

Vegetables are good for you

It’s Thursday again and a good day to shop at the Asian Market for the newly arrived fresh vegetables. At first I thought that I can’t eat the vegetables that I used to eat in the Philippines coz I heard some stories about Filipinos who lived here in the USA that when they go back to the Philippines, they compare the food and vegetables. I heard complains about the taste because according to them that the Filipino vegetables are tastier and delicious compared to the vegetables here in USA. I agree with it but that doesn’t apply to all. Like the fish here are not fresh compared to the fish in the Philippines that are sold in the market. But for some of the vegetables, the taste is just the same. I was surprised when I first saw the bokchoy (pechay), chinese cabbage and sweet corn. I was more surprised when I saw the live crab at the Asian Market, then they have a young coconut, fresh pine apple, mango like the Philippine mango (but from other country), and most of all… the sweet potato (kamote) from the Asian Market reminds me the taste of the one we have in the Philippines. Hubby like it so much that he wanted me to go to the Asian Market every Thursday to buy more sweet potato. Hehe Too bad, he can’t eat the bokchoy for some reason. I like bokchoy but hubby tried eating it 3 times and it made him sick. There was one time when I didn’t told him that I added bokchoy in the beef stew. I didn’t serve the bokchoy so he will eat it but after eating it, he got some cramps. He lie down in the couch to take some rest hoping that the cramps will go away. Then I told him that there’s bokchoy in the beef stew. He wasn’t mad at me though coz I was smiling when I told him that. But I felt guilty afterwards. I just thought that maybe his tummy will get use to it if he will try eating it again but the result is still the same. Not good. Hehe Here’s a photo of what I got today. More sweet potatoes good for 1-2 weeks, singkamas (forgot the english word for that), butternut squash (will experiment the taste of this one) and green squash which is just the same as what we have in the Philippines.

My Page Rank 3 goes to 0

Last night I signed up for a sponsored review but wasn’t able to finish doing what a blogger needs to do to make money thru blogging coz I didn’t add my blog yet for the reason that one of the requirements is that the blog has to be 3 months old already. This blog didn’t reach that long yet so I decided to wait. While checking the messages in my cbox, I glanced at my page rank and I was surprised of what I saw. It was 3 yesterday and now it’s zero! I felt sad thinking about my page rank but I also think that I’m not alone. I heard complains from other bloggers about it that it’s not fair. I don’t know if it really is not fair. I am new to this but they gave me a PR 3 already. Now that I signed up for a sponsored review, my PR goes down to 0 right away. I don’t know if there’s a connection between the two or what. All I can say is that I miss my PR 3 and I know that I have readers everyday because of my neocounter. I choose not to include my visits in my neocounter so I would know if I have readers everyday or not. I then thought and wish that I didn’t sign up for the sponsored review. But the damage has been done and I have to accept it. Life will go on and deleting my PR in my blog might be the best option so I won’t miss it again. I'm not upset but I'm sad. Now I know that if you want to have a good PR, then don't sign up for any money making stuff for your blog. :)

Award From a Dear Friend Bregie




I am so blessed to have such a wonderful circle of friends thru this blogging world. I never expected of what my blog would bring to me. I once felt disappointed for being dumb about the html stuff that I can’t figure out how it works but despite from the disappointment, I continue to do blogging after receiving messages of encouragements from my blogger friends. I recently asked myself of who are the one making all the awards that my blogger friends gave me. I noticed that every award is unique and none of them are repeated. So I thought that those individuals who take their time to make and design the awards are the smart and generous people who just want to make others happy by giving the awards they made as a sign of appreciation. I am surprised and speechless when I saw this award that Bregie made just for me. I never thought that she’s one of those smart people who knows how to make awards for bloggers and I want to thank her for such a wonderful and awesome award that she made for me. I am happy and glad to have found a sweet and thoughtful friend thru this blogging world. Thank you so much Bregie! I really appreciate it so much. (makahilak man pod ta) It is very nice. I like it so much! You really did a good job girl! More power and more blessings to come in the future! :)

How Filipino Are You?

I was tagged by Pinaymama for this. Thanks Joy for tagging me this one. I enjoyed counting my score while reading the Filipino traits listed below. :)

=================================================================
Over time, the Filipino way of living has changed a lot, thanks to the influence of the western culture. The once-simple living has gone wonderfully sophisticated that it seems we have gradually lost the traits unique us Filipinos. Even so, we can’t and won’t deny the fact that rooted in our spirit and being is the pride that we are indeed Filipinos.


But how Filipino are you? Are the Filipino traits strong in you? Are you the typical Filipino? Take this simple quiz I have fabricated to determine your being Filipino. Read the items below and tell whether or not you do or exhibit them and count the items that are true to you. After evaluating all the items refer to the gauge below with your points. Remember to take seriously the frequencies (at least once, twice…) in the items; if you lack even one frequency, then don’t count the item.


Here it goes:


1. You can speak Filipino (erstwhile Tagalog).
2. Whenever necessary, you take the hand of an elder relative and pat the back of the palm of that hand to your forehead and say “mano po”
3. You know “bayanihan” and had witnessed it personally at least once.
4. You’ve seen a bahay kubo at least once.
5. You’ve ridden on a jeepney at least five times.
6. You have separate clothes for in-house and outside use (pambahay at panglakad)
7. You’ve eaten adobo, dinuguan, kakanin, tuyo, dilis
8. Your meal is incomplete if without rice
9. You hear Sunday masses and attend Misa de Gallo with your family.
10. You can sing “Lupang Hinirang” very well, with no lines missed.
11. You don’t care donning ragged and torn clothes exclusively for use inside home
12. You have bought items in a “sari-sari store” at least ten times
13. You have played patintero, tumbang preso and piko during your childhood.
14. You can sing at least five OPM songs, and know what OPM means
15. You know the Philippine presidents from the year of your birth onwards.
16. You have witnessed “balagtasan” at least thrice.
17. You’ve been recounted with stories involving aswang, tikbalang, manananggal, nuno sa punso.
18. You’ve been read, have read or have heard Filipino legends (Ang Alamat ng…).
19. You’ve lived, stayed or visited Philippine places other than your city or town at least seven times.
20. You’ve visited local (or public) wet market at least five times.
21. You have heard guys trying to sing Englebert Humperdink songs on a karaoke machine.
22. Your main means of expressing anger is tampo.
23. You eat with your hands or use your fork and spoon together.
24. You visit home taking with you a few balikbayan boxes.
25. You use "po" at "opo" when talking to older people.
26. You don't feel comfortable callingpeople older than you by their first names.
27. You know what a "karitela" is.
28. You know "manghihilot" and the power it brings
29. You heard about "barang o "kulam" and believed they exist.
30. You'll love to eat "fish ball"
31. You prefer to eat with family members, relatives or friends in the table.
32. You love to eat lechon when it’s available.
33. You’ve eaten bbq that has been cooked in the sidewalk.
====================================================
Here’s the gauge to tell how Filipino you are:
19 - 20 = The Filipino blood, spirit and flame burns intensely in you. You are the typical Filipino, who takes pride of your nationality.
15 - 18 = You are proud of your being Filipino and that the traits unique to most Filipinos live in you.
11 - 14 = You are the Filipino who, even adopting strongly the cultures of other nations, still don’t forget some old ways of the Filipino life.
7 - 10 = The Filipino culture has little by little been forgotten by you. You need to at least try some of the items mentioned.
4 - 6 = The Filipino culture has substantially faded in you, or that you have not been exposed to the true, authentic traits of being a Filipino.
1 - 3 = You’re a Filipino, only that you may have not been born and raised in the Philippines and had not lived up or been accustomed to the ways of Filipino living.0 = You’re not a Filipino.
====================================================
The result of mine is 30, not in the list anymore. Hehe Proud to be Pinoy!
====================================================
Again, if you are a Filipino reader of mine - please consider yourself tagged! This does not prompt you to repost this quiz, however it would be better if you did. You have to add at least three items to the quiz, and you should tag a dozen people after your post. There are a lot of unique Filipino traits and I don’t see any reason why you can’t think of three of them. Do not copy the listed items; provide/make your own and add them to the list above. Let’s see how long the list can get.
Let's see how Filipino Gigi, Annie, Norm, Wildcatlady, Petradear, Vanezah, Francine, Laradee, Sheng, Jazevox, Shiela, Ivy, Lutchi, are!

Tornado Weather Again

I went to work today and this morning is not so cold outside but still I wore my jacket. When I left work, I am still wearing my jacket not knowing that the weather outside is so nice. It’s a bit warm this afternoon plus the sun is out. I remember this type of weather when one of my co-workers said that it’s a tornado weather and the night after she said it, I heard the siren because we were in tornado warning already. The next day, more than 50 people died because of the tornado. Oh boy, I hope there’ll be no tornado heading our way tonight.

My tooth implant today...

Today is another day off for me because of my dental appointment. I am scheduled to have a tooth implant today which takes two hours but aside from that, they are also going to check on the fillings and the crown which gave me a little pain when I ate hard foods. At first I didn’t bother about the little pain because I thought that it’s just a part of the healing process or maybe that’s the way it is and I have to accept it or if I want to eat hard foods, then I have to chew it using my front teeth. When hubby told them about it, they said that it’s not normal and they will check on that today also.

Hubby was taking the whole day off today which I’m happy that he did. (smile) We arrived 5 minutes late at the Dentist office and we waited for a little while before my name was called. They fixed the fillings and the crown first before they started the process for the implant. They put something into my gums where the implant is going to happen to numb a little bit before they gave me the shots. They gave me lots of shots which are painful because my gums are not numb yet but I didn’t complain. I just keep on praying that I can take the pain and that the implant is successful. There were series of steps when they were doing the implant. I keep on praying that God will guide the Dentist for doing his job so I won’t be in pain and that he would do the right thing. I saw a thin 1 ½ long screw like tool and after they use it, they took an X-ray of the area that they’re working on. I was guessing that the screw like tool becomes bigger and bigger coz they took an X-ray every after they finish using it for maybe 5 times. I was thinking again that maybe they are making a hole where they can put the titanium for the artificial tooth. After the fourth X-ray, the Dentist said “Perfecto” which means “Perfect” and after the last X-ray he said “Perfect”. He asked me every after break if I’m okay and I just nod. I noticed that there’s a thread-like stuff that fell on my face or touches my face which tickles me but I didn’t bother to move or complain and then I heard the Dentist cutting the thread-like thing which I thought maybe it’s a nylon. I heard him cutting many times so I thought that he’s doing some stitches in my gums. I never bothered to look coz I don’t want to see a needle. I just keep my eyes close and continue praying hoping again that the implant is successful. He then told me that I am a wonderful patient which made me feel better. After the implant he said “You sure are a great patient. Thank you for being a great patient.” I smiled and said “You’re welcome!” He instructed me to take the prescribed medicine right away and said that they want my blood to go up so soon so I thought that maybe I lost a lot of blood during the implant. I felt okay after the implant though, not dizzy or whatsoever but I noticed that my body is a little bit shaking. I’m glad that it’s now finish but I’ll be back again this Thursday for a check up. For now, I can’t eat solid foods yet. Oh well, soups are available. Hehe

Another award given from my sexy friend Wildcatlady. Thank you so much girl for this award. You are so nice. Now I feel sexy. Hahaha



I am passing this award to my friends Ivy, Jazevox, Ellaine, Bregie, Francine, Laradee and Sheng.

Thanks to my nice blogger friends…

It really feels great when co-bloggers give or pass you some awards. Though blogging takes time and effort but when I received tags, comments, messages and most especially the awards. You know who you are... I can say that the time I spent on my blog is worth it. I am so glad I didn’t stop blogging. Now I have a circle of nice blogger friends whom I enjoyed visiting and chatting. Way to go! :)

Awards Night!

Oh my, it’s awards night again. I am really very thankful and honored to receive these three awards tonight. Thank you so much my dear friends who keeps on remembering me when it comes to awards. I am going to pass these awards to my friends who I think deserves the awards. I’m not going to pass all three awards in just one or two individuals coz I want others to have a chance also to receive one. So my idea is each award has names whom I want to give the award to.

Thank you Francine for this toadally awesome award. I want to pass this toad to my friends Jk, Noel, and Pastel. :)


Thank you Bregie for this break out blogger award. And now I want to pass this balloons to Fyrnz, Gigi, Ivy, Lourdz, Maria and Precious Marie.



Thank you Noushy and Andrea for this white roses award. I want to pass this white roses to Juliana, Darlene, Gigi, Pinaymama, Simplymama and Butchay.


I wish you guys to have a wonderful and memorable Valentines Day! :)
