What's for Dinner?

Food has taken over my mind, mouth and stomach today. I have been munching non-stop since morning. Could you believe I had Reese's at breakfast and Snickers for lunch? Well, technically they are just additions to my usual meals. haha I think I had too much chocolates and junkfood while on my desk. My God! Talk about a sedentary lifestyle!

On the drive home, I was contemplating on my dinner. I didn't know what my beloved dad has cooked for dinner but I already convinced myself that I will eat some dried fish or "tuyo"/"bulad"/"buwad." So when I arrived, I hurriedly checked out our fridge so I can already fry my chosen chow and went to the kitchen to see if there was cooked rice already.

They say that salted fish is a type of food for the poor. I beg to differ because I know a lot of well-off people who are great fans of this salty appetizer. Some who are already on the other side of the world would even crave for it. Those who don't eat dried fish are missing out on a lot of heavenly goodness. haha Anyway, I'm just happy I was able to eat what I wanted. Have a sumptuous dinner just like I did!

STS Designs at White Sands

After my trip to Bantayan Island and Yo's birthday celebration at Costa Bella, I really assumed my summer was over. We were delighted when our boss E-mailed us last week about a paid relaxation day. Who would say no to that?




Yesterday, June 18, the whole crew of Screentext Software Designs headed to White Sands in Mactan. Well, almost because Binky and Neil were missing in action. It was my first time in the resort. With its sumptuous dishes, excellent service and breathtaking scenery, I really think it was the perfect venue for our team building/outing. It was indeed, er relaxing. Because it was a Friday, there weren't too many people.




The games that our boss prepared were fun, which really allowed us to get to know each other. They also brought out our competitive side.







The rest of the day was spent by taking gazillion photos, playing billiards, chatting, fooling around and pool-hopping. We swam until all of us experienced cramps . haha

This outing was a perfect summer ender. Let's do this again! Special thanks to our big boss, Sir Burt Lao and his family for the wonderful relaxation day.

Our 6th Anniversary

Our 6th Panggs Day last May 25 was spent the best way we know... by pigging out! We enjoyed an all-you-can eat Japanese buffet at Mikado and coffee-dessert at Mr. Coffee.
My face lit up when I saw my gigantic gift that the boyf meticulously wrapped. My gift for him looked like a disastrous elementary project. haha I was very pleased when I saw the two matching bags with camera print. Aww! He really knows what I want! I was planning to buy a small bag to avoid bringing an obvious camera bag.
I gave him a computer bag that is too big for his netbook since he t0ld me he wanted just one bag for all his office stuff. I really hope he liked

We really love Japanese food; the cooked ones anyway. I know how lousy it sounds but you really couldn't shove raw fish or meat to my mouth!



As you may know, I am not the type who gets stressed about clothes. I just chose to wear a simple outfit made me look kind of human. haha I am so proud of my panggusan for his extra effort to dress nicely.
I know I have said this more than a thousand times but I"ll say it again, you're the greatest gift God has given me.I lab you my panggusan! Thank you for the love, patience, kindness, inspiration.I'm so blessed to have spent the last seven years with you.

Here's something I wrote during our 5th anniv to refresh your mind. hehe HOW FIVE YEARS STARTED.

Mother's Day and Pacquaio's Fight

We spent the day at our condo unit in Woodcrest Residences, Guadalupe. We had an early swim... err picture-taking. haha The fight may have been boring but we enjoyed ourselves eating, screaming at Mosley and being silly.

This was how we looked; laid-back focused on the fight that turned out to be . My dad's armpits smelled good. haha
This was my gift to my mom. A red pillow that said "I <3 MOM. My mom is the strongest woman in my life and she has been bravely fighting her toughest battle. We're always here for you and thank you for everything! We love you very much!

Holy Week at Bantayan Island

I never expected my parents to allow me to go out of town during the holy week especially if the destination would be Bantayan Island. A lot of people flock to this island because it is known for fun and wild parties during this season. Thankfully, they thought I was mature enough to be trusted. I really needed to unwind with all the problems/responsibilities at work and home.



This was actually my second visit to Bantayan. We stayed stayed at the same generous, warm and hospitable household, but we had different adventures. I was with the same group and a few additions, which consisted of boyf's nursing classmates plus tag-alongs. Just like the first one, we had great food, company and laughter.

Bantayan Island boasts of pristine waters and powdery sand. Even though the sun was scorching hot, I embraced it. Ahhh it was bliss! Never mind the burning feeling the day after or the gorgeous red skin turning into itchy dark spots. Nothing could ever replace that refreshing feeling.


Of course, the trip wouldn't be complete without prayer and reflection. I loved everything that the Bantayons did for their procession. It was very solemn, complete with all the procession floats/carts that reminded us of Jesus' suffering and death.



I have to be honest, there were mishaps but I think all these made our trip more memorable. It was definitely a great experience. I love Bantayan Island!
